Download or read book Uncle written by Irena McCammon Scott and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the most comprehensive biographical study of John Purdue (c. 1802-1876) to date, Purdue's great-great-grandniece describes her travels to the diverse places where Purdue had lived in order to learn about the mysterious relative known in her family as Uncle. Using fresh, unpublished source materials-including Purdue's personal correspondence, business ledgers, and the family oral histories-the author examines Purdue's beginning among illiterate, immigrant, Pennsylvania mountain-hollow folks. Uncle challenges a commonly held belief that Purdue was a cold-hearted business mogul. Instead the author shows Purdue as a human being and as a generous family man with a visionary nature.
Book Synopsis The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics by :
Download or read book The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics written by and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the most popular and enduring band ever: “Even the most hardcore Deadheads will be impressed by this obsessively complete look at the Grateful Dead’s lyrics” (Publishers Weekly). The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics is an authoritative text, providing standard versions of all the original songs you thought you knew forwards and backwards. These are some of the best-loved songs in the modern American songbook. They are hummed and spoken among thousands as counterculture code and recorded by musicians of all stripes for their inimitable singability and obscure accessibility. How do they do all this? To provide a context for this formidable body of work, of which his part is primary, Robert Hunter has written a foreword that goes to the heart of the matter. And the annotations on sources provide a gloss on the lyrics, which goes to the roots of Western culture as they are incorporated into them. An avid Grateful Dead concertgoer for more than two decades, David Dodd is a librarian who brings to the work a detective’s love of following a clue as far as it will take him. Including essays by Dead lyricists Robert Hunter and John Perry and Jim Carpenter’s original illustrations, whimsical elements in the lyrics are brought to light, showcasing the American legend that is present in so many songs. A gorgeous keepsake edition of the Dead’s official annotated lyrics, The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics is an absolute must-have for the fiftieth anniversary—you won’t think of this cultural icon the same way again. In fact, founding band member Bob Weir said: “This book is great. Now I’ll never have to explain myself.”

Book Synopsis My Uncle Fulton Sheen by : Joan Sheen Cunningham
Download or read book My Uncle Fulton Sheen written by Joan Sheen Cunningham and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2020 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joan Sheen Cunningham was happily growing up with her family in Illinois when her uncle Bishop Fulton Sheen offered her the opportunity of a lifetime: to attend a private school in New York City. With the blessing of her parents, she eagerly accepted, and Fulton Sheen became a second father, a role model, and a lifelong friend. In this memoir, Joan describes many formative experiences she had with Fulton Sheen—from shopping for a winter coat to meeting Al Smith, the governor of New York. She fondly recollects how her uncle guided her courtship, helped her and her new husband find an apartment, and baptized their children and grandchildren. Sheen is most known for his popular television show, Life Is Worth Living. The Sheen that Joan presents, however, is not only a polished television personality, but a man of prayer, generosity, and missionary zeal who interacted with count- less people from all walks of life. In one story after another, she illustrates that this great man’s chief concern was sharing the mercy of God with everyone.

Download or read book My Life written by Joe Gregorio and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-05-16 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joe Gregorio was born in 1929, on the cusp of the Great Depression. His father abandoned their small family before Joe was born, and his mother passed away due to tuberculosis not long after his birth. Gregorio and his brother then became charges of the State of New York and spent their childhood and adolescence in a series of foster homes, which brought Gregorio life-changing experiences, to say the least. In his autobiography, My Life, Joe Gregorio presents his times of overwhelming difficulty as well as his victories, his darkest despair as well as the guiding lights who led him into a plentiful life. Gregorios path took him from orphanages to service in the Korean Warresulting in severe panic attacks. After his time in the military, he continued to lead a life that valued hard work as well as deep connections to family and friends. Tortuous as it seemed at times, his path was aided by a number of people who shared with him mutual appreciation, love, and spirit. Our present days of strained economic times bear great similarity to the early 1930s, and Gregorios story of hope and faith can, in turn, be a guiding light for all of us as we move into the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From John A. Russo: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD was a hard act to follow but in 1990 George Romero, Russ Streiner and I decided to give it our best shot, with Tom Savini directing a cast of enthusiastic and highly talented actors, including Tony Todd, Patricia Tallman, Tom Towles, Bill Butler, McKee Anderson, and Katie Finneran. It was an audacious and exhilarating adventure. While making the movie, I took about a thousand photos, and many of them are published here for the very first time, documenting our trials, tribulations, and triumphs in words and pictures. This book is my tribute to all who worked on the movie. Whether you are a fan or an aspiring filmmaker, you will enjoy this revealing on-location look inside the making -- or re-making -- of a horror classic!

Download or read book WHO AM I NOW written by Sirshree and published by WOW PUBLISHINGS PVT LTD. This book was released on 2016-08-08 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent times, the practice of mindfulness has been gaining a lot of momentum. Mindfulness is the practice of observing the breath, noticing the body sensations, and watching the mind. Through this book, you will learn a simple yet powerful method of not only watching the mind, but of moving beyond mindfulness into the no-mind state. This is done through the power of four words: WHO AM I NOW? Self Enquiry is an ancient practice for attaining Self realization. However, with the passage of time its finer nuances have gone missing and it has become one of the most misunderstood of practices. Presented in a profound yet simple Q/A format, this book presents Self Enquiry – with Understanding. Understanding is the crucial element that helps you to recognize the missing links and gain the knowledge of Self, which in turn facilitates in reaching your true self, easily and definitively. “Who am I?” is the question asked in Self Enquiry that will lead you to the experience of the Self. And “Who am I Now?” is a unique method that will help you stay in that experience, in and through your daily affairs. This will dismantle the daydream of who you believe yourself to be and enable you to get established in the experience of pure consciousness. Amazement and eternal bliss awaits you!
