Book excerpt: Exchange the lies of hurtful labels and wrong thinking for the truth of who God created you to be! From an early age Alex Seeley was told she was an accident, but she also carried the weight of feeling stupid. Labels like these, sometimes spoken over us by well-meaning people, can cause us to believe lies about ourselves that make us question why we were born and what our purpose on earth could be. Yet, according to Psalm 139, God designed us in His image with a unique DNA and amazing characteristics! We are loved and created for a purpose that only we can fulfill. In Tailor Made, Alex helps us recognize our wrong thinking often brought on by generational patterns, insecurities, circumstances, lack of forgiveness, and an inaccurate view of God our Father, and offers to replace them with a new view of who God says we are. It’s time to find your own sense of belonging and the path to becoming the original, authentic version of you that God intended!
Book Synopsis Chelsea to Cairo-- 'Taylor-made' Water Through Eleven Reigns and in Six Continents by : Gwilym Roberts
Download or read book Chelsea to Cairo-- 'Taylor-made' Water Through Eleven Reigns and in Six Continents written by Gwilym Roberts and published by Thomas Telford. This book was released on 2006 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book records the history of John Taylor and Sons and their predecessors. Gwilym Roberts describes civilisation as a product of engineering. In this book he demonstrates how mankind's dependence on technology goes back to the earliest civilisations, when irrigation systems enabled our ancestors to abandon a nomadic existence and when artisans produced the artefacts needed for both existence and recreation. The author acknowledges that engineers have built on the discoveries and inventions of scientists and converted the earth's natural resources into the energy and goods on which our modern civilisation entirely depends. He describes engineers as the heroes of the nineteenth century, but the unsung heroes of the twentieth who have provided modern clean water supplies, which is one of the principal reasons for our present longevity and good health. The foundations of our modern urban water supply systems had to await the technical developments of the 19th century industrial revolution and the establishment of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1818. These developments permitted such innovations as cast iron mains, steam-driven pumps, upstream abstraction, impounding reservoirs and ultimately, constant service. Chelsea to Cairois an interesting narrative on how today's water and public health engineers have continued to strive and achieve the sophisticated facilities expected by society, and the high standards demanded by legislators. In the developing world, engineers have played a major role in improving living conditions and helping governments cope with the problems caused by phenomenal population growth. From the establishment of the Chelsea Waterworks Company in 1722 to the ongoing multi-billion pound Cairo Wastewater Project, this book describes many large and small projects undertaken by John Taylor & Sons over a three hundred year period. Historians, students and practitioners in the water industry will find this book a valuable and interesting reference source. It chronicles a magical era of expansion of British engineers into overseas markets which has led to engineering design and advice becoming one of the UK's most valuable invisible exports. About the author: Gwilym Roberts joined John Taylor & Sons in 1947 and became a partner in 1956. He played a significant role in developing the firm into a major international consultancy until 1987 when John Taylor & Sons merged with Freeman Fox & Partners to form the Acer Group, where the author became founding chairman. By the time he retired in 1992 the firm had worked in nearly forty countries and staff numbers had grown to over 2,300. Gwilym Roberts was President of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1986 and appointed CBE the following year.
Download or read book This Boy We Made written by Taylor Harris and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Black mother bumps up against the limits of everything she thought she believed—about science and medicine, about motherhood, and about her faith—in search of the truth about her son. "The memoir dedicates important space to the numbing bureaucracy that often accompanies medical visits, particularly as seen through the eyes of a Black woman in the South. Having moved often within White neighborhoods and educational institutions around her home in Charlottesville, Harris is unflinching about her periodic unease in those quarters. . . Harris also brings humor to bear in moments of great adversity."—Karen Iris Tucker, Washington Post One morning, Tophs, Taylor Harris’s round-cheeked, lively twenty-two-month-old, wakes up listless, only lifting his head to gulp down water. She rushes Tophs to the doctor, ignoring the part of herself, trained by years of therapy for generalized anxiety disorder, that tries to whisper that she’s overreacting. But at the hospital, her maternal instincts are confirmed: something is wrong with her boy, and Taylor’s life will never be the same. With every question the doctors answer about Tophs’s increasingly troubling symptoms, more arise, and Taylor dives into the search for a diagnosis. She spends countless hours trying to navigate health and education systems that can be hostile to Black mothers and children; at night she googles, prays, and interrogates her every action. Some days, her sweet, charismatic boy seems just fine; others, he struggles to answer simple questions. A long-awaited appointment with a geneticist ultimately reveals nothing about what’s causing Tophs’s drops in blood sugar, his processing delays—but it does reveal something unexpected about Taylor’s own health. What if her son’s challenges have saved her life? This Boy We Made is a stirring and radiantly written examination of the bond between mother and child, full of hard-won insights about fighting for and finding meaning when nothing goes as expected.

Book Synopsis From Sarah to Sydney by : June Cummins
Download or read book From Sarah to Sydney written by June Cummins and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold life story of All-of-a-Kind Family author Sydney Taylor, highlighting her dramatic influence on American children’s literature This is the first and only biography of Sydney Taylor (1904–1978), author of the award-winning All-of-a-Kind Family series of books, the first juvenile novels published by a mainstream publisher to feature Jewish children characters. The family—based on Taylor’s own as a child—includes five sisters, each two years apart, dressed alike by their fastidious immigrant mother so they all look the same: all-of-a-kind. The four other sisters’ names were the same in the books as in their real lives; only the real-life Sarah changed hers to the boyish Sydney while she was in high school. Cummins elucidates the deep connections between the progressive Taylor’s books and American Jewish experiences, arguing that Taylor was deeply influential in the development of national Jewish identity. This biography conveys the vital importance of children’s books in the transmission of Jewish culture and the preservation of ethnic heritage.

Download or read book Here We Are written by Benjamin Taylor and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the National Jewish Book Award A deeply felt, beautifully crafted meditation on friendship and loss in the vein of A Year of Magical Thinking, and a touching portrait of Philip Roth from his closest friend. I had a baseball question on the tip of my tongue: What was the name of "the natural," the player shot by a stalker in a Chicago hotel room? He gave me an amused look that darkened in-to puzzlement, then fear. Then he pitched forward into the soup, unconscious. When I entered the examining room twenty minutes after our arrival at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, Philip said, "No more books." Thus he announced his retirement. So begins Benjamin Taylor's Here We Are, the unvarnished portrait of his best friend and one of America's greatest writers. Needless to say, Philip Roth's place in the canon is secure, but what is less clear is what the man himself was like. In Here We Are, Benjamin Taylor's beautifully constructed memoir, we see him as a mortal man, experiencing the joys and sorrows of aging, reflecting on his own writing, and doing something we all love to do: passing the time in the company of his closest friend. Here We Are is an ode to friendship and its wondrous ability to brighten our lives in unexpected ways. Benjamin Taylor is one of the most talented writers working today, and this new memoir pays tribute to his friend, in the way that only a writer can. Roth encouraged him to write this book, giving Taylor explicit instructions not to sugarcoat anything and not to publish it until after his death. Unvarnished and affectionately true to life, Taylor's memoir will be the definitive account of Philip Roth as he lived for years to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yvonne Pitts explores nineteenth-century inheritance practices by focusing on testamentary capacity trials in Kentucky in which disinherited family members challenged relatives' wills, claiming the testator lacked the capacity required to write a valid will.
