Book Synopsis Contemplations and Other Ramblings by : R.K. Louis
Download or read book Contemplations and Other Ramblings written by R.K. Louis and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-12-22 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contents of this book of poems and other ramblings was the furthest thing from my mind when I first decided to do a project. In all my travels around the world, there were so many inspiring people and places that it would be next to impossible to include them all in one little book such as this. Contemplating loves and loving moments were and still are the innermost cravings of my heart. Lost loves and the pain of separation from them is the nucleus from which most of these words came. But I must add that there were many joyful times that are just as unforgettable. It was so stimulating and exciting gathering thoughts and feelings from so many different sources, which I will never forget. Some were educational as well too. There is at least another book in the works at this point in time. My only regret is that this one is already finished and the fun ended way too soon. Ive discovered that every heart has a little something to offer, and that each heart is a blessing in more ways than one.

Book Synopsis Ramblings of a Simpleton by : S. V. Prabhath
Download or read book Ramblings of a Simpleton written by S. V. Prabhath and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ramblings of a Simpleton is a collection of narratives that represents author Dr. S.V. Prabhath's attempts to pen down a few of his various experiences, observations, and anecdotes from his journey of life. Some sections deal with workday experiences, others with episodes from the author's personal life, while others are recollections of younger days. While the book has some philosophical reflections, balancing light musings on the commonplace with occasional forays into the darker recesses of the unconscious, it is meant only for light reading. Unlike many books of a similar philosophical bent, Ramblings of a Simpleton is intended to elicit smiles and occasional chuckles as much as an odd moment of reflection or inward contemplation. The narratives in the book are grouped into six sections, forming a melting pot of memoirs that attempt to depict the rainbow of emotions that profile the author's life. The author draws upon his diverse background in various fields of research, teaching, publishing, and world travel to present the reader with a colorful palette of experiences and anecdotes that are amusing and also enlightening.Possessing what he describes as a wholesome academic background, author Dr. S.V. Prabhath is a scholar, a man of letters, and a contributor to various journals and publications. Along the route of his well-travelled life, he has edited numerous books including Gandhi Today and Youth and Rural India. On the front cover is a picture of his father who is in his 90s. The book's title Ramblings of a Simpleton is aptly epitomized by his photograph, which captures him in a contemplative mood on a Sunday evening. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/SVPrabhat
Book Synopsis The Solace of Fierce Landscapes by : Belden C. Lane
Download or read book The Solace of Fierce Landscapes written by Belden C. Lane and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-02-26 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of Kathleen Norris, Terry Tempest Williams, and Thomas Merton, The Solace of Fierce Landscapes explores the impulse that has drawn seekers into the wilderness for centuries and offers eloquent testimony to the healing power of mountain silence and desert indifference. Interweaving a memoir of his mother's long struggle with Alzheimer's and cancer, meditations on his own wilderness experience, and illuminating commentary on the Christian via negativa--a mystical tradition that seeks God in the silence beyond language--Lane rejects the easy affirmations of pop spirituality for the harsher but more profound truths that wilderness can teach us. "There is an unaccountable solace that fierce landscapes offer to the soul. They heal, as well as mirror, the brokeness we find within." It is this apparent paradox that lies at the heart of this remarkable book: that inhuman landscapes should be the source of spiritual comfort. Lane shows that the very indifference of the wilderness can release us from the demands of the endlessly anxious ego, teach us to ignore the inessential in our own lives, and enable us to transcend the "false self" that is ever-obsessed with managing impressions. Drawing upon the wisdom of St. John of the Cross, Meister Eckhardt, Simone Weil, Edward Abbey, and many other Christian and non-Christian writers, Lane also demonstrates how those of us cut off from the wilderness might "make some desert" in our lives. Written with vivid intelligence, narrative ease, and a gracefulness that is itself a comfort, The Solace of Fierce Landscapes gives us not only a description but a "performance" of an ancient and increasingly relevant spiritual tradition.

Book excerpt: Fifteen-year-old math prodigy Seth Gordon knows exactly what he wants to do with his life—play video games. Every spare minute is devoted to honing his skills at Starfare, the world's most popular computer game. His goal: South Korea, where the top pros are rich and famous. But the best players train all day, while Seth has school and a job and divorced parents who agree on only one thing: "Get off that damn computer." Plus there's a new distraction named Hannah, an aspiring photographer who actually seems to understand his obsession. While Seth mopes about his tournament results and mixed signals from Hannah, Team Anaconda, one of the leading Korean pro squads, sees something special. Before he knows it, it's goodbye Kansas, goodbye Hannah, and hello to the strange new world of Korea. But the reality is more complicated than the fantasy, as he faces cultural shock, disgruntled teammates, and giant pots of sour-smelling kimchi. What happens next surprises Seth. Slowly, he comes to make new friends, and discovers what might be a breakthrough, mathematical solution to the challenges of Starcraft. Delving deeper into the formulas takes him in an unexpected direction, one that might just give him a new focus—and reunite him with Hannah.

Book Synopsis The Wagon and Other Stories from the City by : Martin Preib
Download or read book The Wagon and Other Stories from the City written by Martin Preib and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Preib is an officer in the Chicago Police Department—a beat cop whose first assignment as a rookie policeman was working on the wagon that picks up the dead. Inspired by Preib’s daily life on the job, The Wagon and Other Stories from the City chronicles the outer and inner lives of both a Chicago cop and the city itself. The book follows Preib as he transports body bags, forges an unlikely connection with his female partner, trains a younger officer, and finds himself among people long forgotten—or rendered invisible—by the rest of society. Preib recounts how he navigates the tenuous labyrinths of race and class in the urban metropolis, such as a domestic disturbance call involving a gang member and his abused girlfriend or a run-in with a group of drunk yuppies. As he encounters the real and imagined geographies of Chicago, the city reveals itself to be not just a backdrop, but a central force in his narrative of life and death. Preib’s accounts, all told in his breathtaking prose, come alive in ways that readers will long remember.

Book Synopsis A Story as Sharp as a Knife by : Robert Bringhurst
Download or read book A Story as Sharp as a Knife written by Robert Bringhurst and published by Douglas & McIntyre. This book was released on 2011 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A seminal collection of Haida myths and legends; now in a gorgeous new package. The linguist and ethnographer John Swanton took dictation from the last great Haida-speaking storytellers, poets and historians from the fall of 1900 through the summer of 1901. Together they created a great treasury of Haida oral literature in written form. Having worked for many years with these century-old manuscripts, linguist and poet Robert Bringhurst brings both rigorous scholarship and a literary voice to the English translation of John Swanton's careful work. He sets the stories in a rich context that reaches out to dozens of native oral literatures and to myth-telling traditions around the globe. Attractively redesigned, this collection of First Nations oral literature is an important cultural record for future generations of Haida, scholars and other interested readers. It won the Edward Sapir Prize, awarded by the Society for Linguistic Anthropology, and it was chosen as the Literary Editor's Book of the Year by the Times of London. Bringhurst brings these works to life in the English language and sets them in a context just as rich as the stories themselves one that reaches out to dozens of Native American oral literatures, and to mythtelling traditions around the world.

Book excerpt: Jack was the revolution’s contingency plan. With the assault on the Macron City Military Base shattered, she was to assassinate Governor Andromeda Macron and revert Capernica back to Capernican control. But she failed, the revolution lies in ashes, and the one person she loves more than anyone in the world has betrayed her. Alone in Brunay, Jack becomes an anonymous cog in the vast Bruelim slave economy, where callous wardens aren’t the only threat to her safety. The labor compound she’s been assigned to contains an inmate hierarchy dominated by descendants of the Provocation’s original victims, and they don’t welcome newcomers. But Jack also finds friendship among the displaced laborers, and like her grandmother, Ruby, she burns with the desire to see them all home. More importantly, Jack discovers the key to freeing Capernica from Bruel aggression forever. But even if she managed an escape, how could she leave Will in Brunay, trapped in the body of a Berkam?

Book Synopsis Songs in Their Heads : Music and Its Meaning in Children's Lives by : Patricia Shehan Campbell Professor of Music Education University of Washington
Download or read book Songs in Their Heads : Music and Its Meaning in Children's Lives written by Patricia Shehan Campbell Professor of Music Education University of Washington and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1998-03-19 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the musical interest and needs of children in their daily lives. Based upon their expressed thoughts and actual "musicking" behaviors, this text examines the songs they sing, the rythyms they make, and the roles that music plays for them. Blending standard education field experiences with ethnographic techniques, Dr. Campbell demonstrates how music is personally and socially meaningful to children and what values they place on particular musical styles, songs, and functions. He explores musical behaviors in various contextual settings, and presents in notated and narrative forms some of the "songs in their heads," balancing music learned with music "made," and intentional, purposeful music with natural musical behavior. Songs in Their Heads is a vivid and engaging book that bridges the disciplines of music education, musicology, ethnomusicology, and folklore. Designed as a text or supplemental text in a variety of music education method courses, as well as a reference for music specialists and classroom teachers, this book will also appeal to parents interested in understanding and enhancing music making in their children.
