Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Astonishing"—The New York Times Book Review A brilliantly funny, highly illustrated story about how a little ink splot changes a family forever. Perfect for those who love Hoot, Holes, or Frindle! The Rylance family is stuck. Dad's got writer's block. Ethan promised to illustrate a group project at school--even though he can't draw. Sarah's still pining for a puppy. And they all miss Mom. Enter Inkling. Inkling begins life in Mr. Rylance's sketchbook. But one night the ink of his drawings runs together--and then leaps off the page! This small burst of creativity is about to change everything. Ethan finds him first. Inkling has absorbed a couple chapters of his math book--not good--and the story he's supposed to be illustrating for school--also not good. But Inkling's also started drawing the pictures to go with the story--which is amazing! It's just the help Ethan was looking for! Inkling helps the rest of the family too--for Sarah he's a puppy. And for Dad he's a spark of ideas for a new graphic novel. It's exactly what they all want. It's not until Inkling goes missing that this family has to face the larger questions of what they--and Inkling--truly need. • A New York Times Notable Book • A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year -- top ten selection • "A true-to-life family, some can't-put-it-down excitement, a few deep questions, and more than a little bit of magic. This book is everything, and I loved every page." —Rebecca Stead, Newbery Medalist for When You Reach Me
Book Synopsis Virtues and Their Vices by : Kevin Timpe
Download or read book Virtues and Their Vices written by Kevin Timpe and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtues and Their Vices is the only extant contemporary, comprehensive treatment of specific virtues and, where applicable, their competing vices. Each of the essays, written exclusively for this volume, not only locates discussion of that virtue in its historical context, but also advances the discussion and debate concerning the understanding and role of the virtues. Each of the first four sections focuses on a particular, historically important class of virtues: the cardinal virtues, the capital vices (or "seven deadly sins") and the corrective virtues, intellectual virtues, and the theological virtues. The final section discusses the role virtue theory and the virtues themselves play in a number of disciplines, ranging from theology and political theory to neurobiology and feminism. The treatment of the virtues in this present volume is sensitive to the historical heritage of the virtues, including their theological heritage, without paying undue attention to the historical and theological issues. Virtues and Their Vices engages contemporary philosophical scholarship as well as relevant scholarship from related disciplines throughout. It is a unique and compelling addition to the philosophical treatment of the virtues as well as their import in a wide spectrum of disciplines.

Book Synopsis Can You Be a Catholic and a Feminist? by : Julie Hanlon Rubio
Download or read book Can You Be a Catholic and a Feminist? written by Julie Hanlon Rubio and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-03-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eminent theologian addresses an enduring--but newly urgent--question Is it possible to be both a faithful Catholic and an avowed feminist? Earlier generations of feminists first formulated answers to this question in the 1970s. Their views are still broadly held, but with increasing tentativeness and a growing sense of their inadequacy. Even now, Catholic women and men still say, "It's my Church and I'm not leaving," "Change will only happen if people like me stay and fight," and "The Church's work for social justice is more important than the issues that concern me as a feminist." Yet in a post-#MeToo, #ChurchToo moment, when the Church seems disconnected from struggles for racial justice and LGBTQ inclusion, those answers sound increasingly insufficient. Today, tensions between Catholicism and feminism are more visible and ties to Catholic communities are increasingly weak. Can Catholic feminism survive? Julie Hanlon Rubio argues that it can. But if it is going to do so, it is necessary to rethink how women and men who experience the pull of feminism and Catholicism can credibly claim both identities. In Can You Be a Catholic and a Feminist? Rubio argues that Catholic feminist identity is only tenable if we frankly acknowledge tensions between Catholicism and feminism, bring forward shared concerns, and embrace the future with ambiguity and creativity. Rubio explores the potential for synergy and dialogue between Catholics and feminists through various lenses, including sexual violence, gender theory, pregnancy and pre-natal loss, work-life balance, relationships and family life, spirituality, conscience, and what it means to be human. This book gives those who struggle to balance Catholicism and feminism a credible path to authentic belonging.
Download or read book Losing It written by Simon Barnes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-02 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand Anna Karenina, Mellors, Molly Bloom, Dante, Romeo, Juliet and Bridget Jones you must also have loved and lost and won. To understand sport in the greatest arenas of them all you too must have played and lost and won, known shame, hope, joy, horror and glory. Simon Barnes has taken part in seven summer Olympic Games, five World Cups and ten Ashes series. Well, not exactly taken part, but certainly he was there and writing hard. And always, behind every victory and every defeat he ever recorded, there was the reference of his own sporting career, in which the bitter beauties of failure were occasionally varied with the intoxication of success. At school he was – at least at first – the opposite of a rebel without a cause: he was a sporting fool in search of a game he could excel at, alas finding none. When he was nine he thought he would somehow be miraculously good at sport. Sadly he never was. But the sporting fool within him never died and in his late 20s he tried again – a second sporting career, in which the triumph of hope over experience was more or less a rout. The dream had only slightly modified: he now thought he would be somehow miraculously competent. So he co-founded a football team and at last found himself the first-choice goalkeeper. Then he co-founded a cricket team, on the grounds that by doing so he would always be sure of a game. And at the same time, he got horsiness and discovered he was actually quite good at riding in competition. All these adventures taught him about sport: why we do it, what is required to be very good at it. He learned about the relationship of physical and mental skills, about fear and courage and physical pain. He learned about funk, about Zen-like calm, about the team thing, about the "me" thing. His sporting failure has been a joyous and profoundly informative part of his life, and here he tells the story of it.

Book Synopsis The Wheel of Ideals by : David Bishop
Download or read book The Wheel of Ideals written by David Bishop and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wheel of Ideals shows three families of ideals, the heroic, civic and altruistic, that sometimes work together and sometimes conflict. Every ideal has its true believers, and unbelievers: some people believe in it strongly, others less strongly, and others not at all--or so they claim. As ideals divide, people also divide. We can't all get along, perfectly, all the time, even with ourselves. Why not? Do we need conflict to make progress? Is perfect peace too peaceful? As ideals can be ignored or betrayed, they can also be carried too far, into decadence: dionysian overheating and the apollonian deep freeze. If you carried an ideal too far, how would you come to realize your mistake? How would you feel the gravity, the balancing pull, of the ideal calling you home? Without failure, without going too far, what is lost? What is the good of all these ideals, and these forms of decadence? The Wheel of Ideals suggests that we will go on asking these questions.

Download or read book Ancient of Genes written by Dan Gallagher and published by StoriesAmazing. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using Fossil Gene Redemption (FGR), geneticist Kevin G. Harrigan experiments with genes from a frozen Ice Man. His work prompts Iraqi leader, Ismail Mon, to provide resources for exciting research, enabling Harrigan’s team to regenerate extinct Ice Age “cryptids” and human sub-species. But FGR can be the basis for genetic weapons of mass destruction. United States intelligence and defense leaders must act! Radically distinct from Jurassic Park, Ancient of Genes shows new regeneration methods by which the only prophecy held in common among major religions and myth traditions could manifest. Once considered junk DNA, personality genes and other traits archive in lineages. These genes await a virus vector to re-express them: a resurrection cascade in subsequent generations. Will FGR enable Ismail Mon to inherit the earth? Harrigan’s frightening choice can lead to redemption… or the terrifying sunset of humanity!

Book excerpt: "There have been many good writers of short stories in New Zealkand, and the 1940s were a particularly productive time for them. ... Gaskell is a realistic writer, as most of his generation were. His stories grow from and reflect the society around him. His style is vigorously idiomatic. His range is varied: life in the forces and the home guard, on playing fields ..., in small towns, city offices. Within these settings his observations of character are unusually acute, rising, in a story like 'Holiday', to a penetrating psychological study. ..."--Back cover.
