Book excerpt: This is a metaphorical story, based on a true story, of a Woodpecker in his search for freedom and purpose. What he did not realize that freedom had a price that almost cost his life on more than one occasion. In the Woodpeckers journey from childhood being discontent that he had to live in a hole and with his arrangement of feathers He sought out many different birds. One summer afternoon the young Woodpecker and two Geese that he had became friends with discovered the forbidden fruit of young fowl, the Grape (alcohol). The Grape was the answer to all the fears in the world. The Grape had power and gave him freedom from his mind. After the Woodpeckers first escape from reality He was addicted to Grapes. In his pursuit of what He thought happiness was, like things of this material world, for instance, gold, diamonds, and seed which is money. The Woodpeckers becomes dishonest to himself and others, therefore, erects the walls of jails. Being a jailbird with contempt prior to investigation he learns to resent and hate Blackbirds from other birds that were not black and known as "Peckerwoods." Hence, He becomes a "Peckerwood" as well. After getting out of jail the Woodpecker finds himself in a deep and always progressive state of addiction. He resents everything in this vast world and is beyond buzzed. The place where the Grape use to take him, joyous intimacy with friends, grandiose ideas, and freedom was not there. He often proceeded to go beyond boundaries set in the normal society of birds who could partake in the Grape. After the Woodpeckers second trip to see the Grey Parrots (doctors). The Parrots inform him that he has chronic Grapism (alcoholism) and that there is no cure for thisdisease. Although, there is hope and it is called "Grapes anonymous." There He meets a Blackbird the very one he learned to hate in jail yet never knew why. The Blackbird informs him that the only solution to addiction is from a loving God. After going through the same spiritual steps the Blackbird went through to recover. He's overcome with God's grace; joy, love, and peace flow within him, He feels unconditional love for the blackbird. He sees love in the very air that gives him life. The Woodpecker became to believe in God, utterly abandons himself to God and discovers himself, whom He always was, a child of God. "Peckerwood Grape the Woodpecker" In His tumultuous journey from fear to faith He was given a new life and transformed into a breathtaking new world where even the broken paths he flew made sense. He finds purpose in a life that was merely an existence. He takes action and uses his pecker to carve stories and peck pictures to help others know about and to recover from this fatal disease. It's by giving the gifts he has received through God, the fruits of the spirit and a life where all things are new he is blessed. As a result of loving God with all his heart mind body and soul He receives an incredibly abundant life beyond His hearts desires.

Download or read book The Language of Ethnic Conflict written by Irving L. Allen and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available for the first time in English, this is the definitive account of the practice of sexual slavery the Japanese military perpetrated during World War II by the researcher principally responsible for exposing the Japanese government's responsibility for these atrocities. The large scale imprisonment and rape of thousands of women, who were euphemistically called "comfort women" by the Japanese military, first seized public attention in 1991 when three Korean women filed suit in a Toyko District Court stating that they had been forced into sexual servitude and demanding compensation. Since then the comfort stations and their significance have been the subject of ongoing debate and intense activism in Japan, much if it inspired by Yoshimi's investigations. How large a role did the military, and by extension the government, play in setting up and administering these camps? What type of compensation, if any, are the victimized women due? These issues figure prominently in the current Japanese focus on public memory and arguments about the teaching and writing of history and are central to efforts to transform Japanese ways of remembering the war. Yoshimi Yoshiaki provides a wealth of documentation and testimony to prove the existence of some 2,000 centers where as many as 200,000 Korean, Filipina, Taiwanese, Indonesian, Burmese, Dutch, Australian, and some Japanese women were restrained for months and forced to engage in sexual activity with Japanese military personnel. Many of the women were teenagers, some as young as fourteen. To date, the Japanese government has neither admitted responsibility for creating the comfort station system nor given compensation directly to former comfort women. This English edition updates the Japanese edition originally published in 1995 and includes introductions by both the author and the translator placing the story in context for American readers.

This book was released on 2012-10-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retired corruption investigator Charlie Eastman can't help it. He looks like a Texas Ranger and he's a magnet for everything he wants to avoid: Crazy people, dead people, people who kill people, love, and death. Set in West Texas today, two boys from different ethnic backgrounds unwittingly video their own murders on a river bottom during an ice storm. Lacking clues, a sheriff begs Eastman's help, but he declines, citing mental problems. Unfortunately, one of the wealthiest women in Texas, and a mysterious tattoo artist scam Eastman into searching for her brother whom she hasn't seen in decades. During the search, Eastman partners up with Doc Page, the red-haired town doctor who wields a terrible, swift tongue and smells of Noxzema cleansing cream, an aroma that drives him wild. A bizarre statue in the town square that locals call Gooberhenge, and a cockeyed promise Eastman makes atop a windmill, sets off an uncontrollable chain reaction of violence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most inspiring stories in wrestling history, Cheating Death, Stealing Life sees Eddie Guerrero recount his saga in remarkably candid fashion, chronicling a life of heartbreaks and painful personal struggles in frank, graphic detail. Guerrero was born into Mexico's first family of sports entertainment, and his life story spans three generations of the wrestling business. His father, Gory Guerrero, was among the greatest legends of lucha libre—Mexican wrestling. Before Eddie was twenty, he was competing in the border town of Juarez, going on to work throughout Mexico. The family name made him an instant sensation but also cast a large shadow from which he would spend years trying to emerge. Paired with the late Art Barr, Guerrero cofounded what became the most hated—and popular—tag team in lucha libre, the infamous Los Gringos Locos. Cheating Death, Stealing Life offers a no-holds-barred glimpse behind the curtain into the secret world of wrestling, from the harsh realities of a lifetime spent in hotels and rental cars, to the politics that permeate the dressing room. Of course, tight-knit friendships are also forged. Guerrero tells of his personal bonds with such Superstars as Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko. It's also the story of Guerrero's private struggle, of a son caught in the shadow of a larger-than-life father and three older brothers, of a marriage that reached the brink of disintegration before being reborn as a more powerful and fulfilling relationship. Throughout, Eddie Guerrero pulls no punches describing his battles with self-doubt and inner darkness. In the end, Cheating Death, Stealing Life is a story of great courage and personal redemption, of Guerrero's bravery in facing his disease and fighting to become a better man in every light.

A story of land grabs, loss, wounded families, bitterness, hypocrisy, violence and revenge in the changing South, Fall Line is populated by complex characters who want to do the right thing but don’t know how. Joe Samuel Starnes’s novel is a memorable, beautiful, and heartbreaking tale of a backwater hamlet’s damaged people and its transformed landscape.
