Book excerpt: Time & Again is part two of a continuing story that began with Until Time Do Us Part. After months of working like a woman possessed, Nika Morris kept her promise. Coleman House is finished. It’s gorgeous. Spectacular. Brilliant. It’s breaking her heart. Because once the new owners move in, she’ll be cut off from the time portal to 1909, where she met and fell in love with Eli Coleman. Now stranded in her own time, she’s waited months for the key to reappear in its hiding place. Only it hasn’t. Which means Eli must have believed the terrible things she was accused of. Back in 1909, Eli is stunned at his best friend’s deathbed confession of a shocking betrayal. Nika—his Daisy, his time-traveling wonder—was innocent. Once he finds the key, he wastes no time stepping through the portal, determined to make things right. But the moment Eli stumbles into her shiny, noisy, confusing future, he realizes reconciliation won’t be simple. There is more than one emotional bridge to rebuild before he and Nika can return to the time their love was born—and live their destiny out to the fullest.

Book excerpt: "Astonishingly important.” —Alex Kotlowitz, The Atlantic Through the stories of five American families, a masterful and timely exploration of how hope, history, and racial denial collide in the suburbs and their schools Outside Atlanta, a middle-class Black family faces off with a school system seemingly bent on punishing their teenage son. North of Dallas, a conservative white family relocates to an affluent suburban enclave, but can’t escape the changes sweeping the country. On Chicago’s North Shore, a multiracial mom joins an ultraprogressive challenge to the town’s liberal status quo. In Compton, California, whose suburban roots are now barely recognizable, undocumented Hispanic parents place their gifted son’s future in the hands of educators at a remarkable elementary school. And outside Pittsburgh, a Black mother moves to the same street where author Benjamin Herold grew up, then confronts the destructive legacy left behind by white families like his. Disillusioned braids these human stories together with penetrating local and national history to reveal a vicious cycle undermining the dreams upon which American suburbia was built. For generations, upwardly mobile white families have extracted opportunity from the nation’s heavily subsidized suburbs, then moved on before the bills for maintenance and repair came due, leaving the mostly Black and Brown families who followed to clean up the ensuing mess. But now, sweeping demographic shifts and the dawning realization that endless expansion is no longer feasible are disrupting this pattern, forcing everyday families to confront a truth their communities were designed to avoid: The suburban lifestyle dream is a Ponzi scheme whose unraveling threatens us all. How do we come to terms with this troubled history? How do we build a future in which all children can thrive? Drawing upon his decorated career as an education journalist, Herold explores these pressing debates with expertise and perspective. Then, alongside Bethany Smith—the mother from his old neighborhood, who contributes a powerful epilogue to the book—he offers a hopeful path toward renewal. The result is nothing short of a journalistic masterpiece.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight-year-old Nika candidly tells the story of her life growing up in a Caribbean ghetto in the eighties. Nika is unintentionally funny, unbelievably clever, and kicks butt when she needs to. Nika's dilemma is simple. She wants to exist without torture but life in the ghetto makes this an unrealistic desire. Being the twelfth child of fifteen, Nika finds a way to get the attention she needs. Her cute, little black face sheds light on the woes of a Caribbean ghetto. Despite abject poverty, violence, and physical abuse, Nika maintains a hopeful demeanor that is far too mature for her age. She stands up to bullies, outsmarts sexual predators, and puts an end to her desire to cheat and steal. After her most horrific experience, Nika finds a diary of a visitor to her Caribbean island that tells the story of Meredith. Meredith is a successful criminal defense lawyer with many burdens, struggles, and secrets. Will Meredith's heart-rending story help Nika uncover the "happily-ever-after" in the ghetto? Or will the ghetto destroy Nika's resilient spirit?

Book Synopsis The Canadian Alternative by : Dominick Grace
Download or read book The Canadian Alternative written by Dominick Grace and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributions by Jordan Bolay, Ian Brodie, Jocelyn Sakal Froese, Dominick Grace, Eric Hoffman, Paddy Johnston, Ivan Kocmarek, Jessica Langston, Judith Leggatt, Daniel Marrone, Mark J. McLaughlin, Joan Ormrod, Laura A. Pearson, Annick Pellegrin, Mihaela Precup, Jason Sacks, and Ruth-Ellen St. Onge This overview of the history of Canadian comics explores acclaimed as well as unfamiliar artists. Contributors look at the myriad ways that English-language, Francophone, Indigenous, and queer Canadian comics and cartoonists pose alternatives to American comics, to dominant perceptions, even to gender and racial categories. In contrast to the United States' melting pot, Canada has been understood to comprise a social, cultural, and ethnic mosaic, with distinct cultural variation as part of its identity. This volume reveals differences that often reflect in highly regional and localized comics such as Paul MacKinnon's Cape Breton-specific Old Trout Funnies, Michel Rabagliati's Montreal-based Paul comics, and Kurt Martell and Christopher Merkley's Thunder Bay-specific zombie apocalypse. The collection also considers some of the conventionally "alternative" cartoonists, namely Seth, Dave Sim, and Chester Brown. It offers alternate views of the diverse and engaging work of two very different Canadian cartoonists who bring their own alternatives into play: Jeff Lemire in his bridging of Canadian/US and mainstream/alternative sensibilities and Nina Bunjevac in her own blending of realism and fantasy as well as of insider/outsider status. Despite an upsurge in research on Canadian comics, there is still remarkably little written about most major and all minor Canadian cartoonists. This volume provides insight into some of the lesser-known Canadian alternatives still awaiting full exploration.

Download or read book Combat Mindset written by Matei Florin and published by Matei Florin "Griffin". This book was released on 2024-07-04 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today’s unpredictable and often dangerous world, the ability to protect oneself and others is invaluable. Developing a combat mindset is essential for those who wish to face potential threats with confidence and decisiveness. This book aims to provide you with the comprehensive knowledge, techniques, and exercises needed to cultivate a mindset prepared for combat. Whether you are a member of the military, law enforcement, a martial artist, or a civilian concerned with personal safety, this book will guide you through the process of developing a superior combat mindset. The Dual Approach to Mental Fortitude This book explores two complementary paths to building a robust combat mindset: Scientific Modern Methods: Drawing on different researches in psychology, neuroscience, and tactical training, we delve into practical, evidence-based techniques to enhance mental resilience, situational awareness, and decision-making under stress. These methods include cognitive behavioral strategies, stress inoculation training, and visualization techniques, all designed to condition the mind for the rigors of combat. Spiritual Practices in Christianity: Alongside scientific approaches, we delve deeply into the rich spiritual traditions of Christianity. This includes prayer, meditation, and rituals aimed at strengthening the warrior spirit. By grounding oneself in faith and invoking divine protection, particularly through the intercession of figures like Archangel Michael, a warrior can draw on a profound source of inner strength and purpose. While these paths may seem distinct, they converge in their ultimate goal: to prepare the individual to face combat with unwavering courage and clarity. Scientific methods provide the tools to understand and manage the psychological demands of combat, while spiritual practices offer a transcendent foundation, imbuing the warrior with a sense of mission and moral clarity. In this book, the spiritual dimension is rooted in Christian traditions. Christianity offers a wealth of practices aimed at fortifying the soul and spirit. From the disciplined routines of prayer and fasting to the powerful invocations of protection and strength, these practices have been honed over centuries by warrior monks and soldiers of faith. By integrating these spiritual disciplines, a warrior can achieve a state of mental and spiritual preparedness that transcends the physical realm. This book is structured to provide a balanced integration of both approaches. Each section offers practical exercises, meditations, and rituals alongside scientific explanations and training techniques. Whether you are a soldier, a law enforcement officer, or anyone seeking to develop a combat-ready mindset, this guide will equip you with the tools necessary to face any challenge with strength and resilience. As you embark on this journey, remember that the forging of a combat mindset is not merely about preparing for battle—it is about cultivating a way of life that embraces discipline, faith, and unwavering resolve. By harnessing the power of both science and spirituality, you will be prepared to face any adversary, confident in the strength of your mind and the depth of your spirit. May this book serve as a beacon of guidance and inspiration, helping you to forge a mindset that is as formidable in peace as it is in war.
