South From Corregidor: The complete story with new photographs, maps and addendum
|
["John Morrill"]
| 4.42 | 78 | 11 |
Republished by Mike Deal and Tim Deal with new introduction and additional information On the evening of 6 May, 1942, hours after US Army General Jonathan Wainwright surrendered all US and Filipino forces on the island of Corregidor and other fortified islands in Manila Bay to the Imperial Japanese Army, 18 US Navy sailors from USS Quail began their daring escape to freedom. Using a 36 foot motor launch, the 18 sailors, led by Lieutenant Commander John Morrill began their 2000 mile journey through Japanese infested waters.
Their story is one of great audacity, where the generosity and bravery of the Filipino people, along with sheer luck played an integral role in the outcome of events. This World War II escape story was originally published as a series of Saturday Evening Post articles in December, 1942, and then as a book in early 1943. The book was written by Lieutenant Commander Morrill less than a year after the escape.
This republished version of South From Corregidor is as the Skipper, as Lieutenant Commander Morrill is called by his crew, wrote it. Forty maps have been added to help show their journey, as well as six illustrations that were part of the Saturday Evening Post article. In addition, an Addendum is included that tells what happened to the 18 sailors.

The Queen of Hamburger Row
|
["Richard Mason"]
| 4.25 | 4 | null |
Bud turned off the motors, and for a few minutes there was a deathly silence on the rig. Then the sound of drilling mud splashing out on the rig floor broke the silence, and the sub-floor of the derrick began to quiver as the well picked up force. Now heads of mud began to kick up three to four feet above the rig floor.“Get off the floor! She’s comin’ in!” yelled Hays.The first spray of oil surged halfway up the derrick, and, as the well came in, a dull roar like the sound of a passing freight train filled the air. Soon a stream of oil was spewing through the crown of the derrick.Hays screamed and danced in the spray of oil as it covered everything in sight. Bill and the crew, who had never seen anything like this huge fountain of oil, were mesmerized as they stood there, getting drenched. Clyde was the first to realize the obvious. “We’re rich! Rich! Rich! This fuckin’ well has done made us all rich!”***El Dorado, Arkansas is a real town. The roaring gusher that blew in on a cold January day in 1921 was a cataclysmic event for this small, southern Arkansas village. The population skyrocketed from barely 3,500 to over 40,000 in less than two years, and law enforcement officials were overwhelmed. During the first two years of the boom, dozens of buildings, called barrelhouses, were hurriedly thrown up on South Washington Avenue, nicknamed Hamburger Row. Open saloons, where gambling, prostitution, and drugs flourished, lined the street. The hundreds of murders committed by”hijackers, “as the oilfield workers called them, are well-documented, and Jake’s Place, the biggest and wildest of the lot, was a real barrelhouse. Jake, Smiling Jack, Lucky Bob, Weasel, Silvertop, and Big Ed were all part of the lawless crowd that flooded the community. The grim, unsanitary conditions, where mules drowned in the muddy squalor of sewer-filled streets, are factual, and, yes, prostitutes did ride out on horseback to service the rig crews. To accurately document the working and living conditions during the boom, written and oral histories from the Arkansas Museum of Natural Resources have been used. During the early years of the boom, the barrelhouses on South Washington Avenue were home to hundreds of prostitutes, and many of these young women were held against their will. And yes, there is a legend of a beautiful former beauty queen with scarlet hair and light green eyes who was known as The Queen of Hamburger Row. Maybe, through the eyes of beautiful Masha, you will be able to get a glimpse of Hamburger Row and the seamy, violent life that was a part of the raucous oil boom, where thousands rushed in, some to become millionaires, and others to be found murdered in back alleys.

John Donne, Undone
|
["Thomas Docherty"]
| 5 | 1 | null |
Contemporary criticism of Donne has tended to ignore the historical culture and ideology that conditioned his writings, reinforcing the traditionally accepted model of the poet as a humanist of ethical, cultural and political individualism. In this title, first published in 1986, Thomas Docherty challenges this with a more rigorously theoretical reading of Donne, particularly in relation to the specific culture of the late Renaissance in Europe. Docherty locates Donne’s poetry at the crux of the various scientific, legal, domestic and rhetorical discourses that surrounded and informed it. With a broadly post-structuralist approach, this reissue will benefit literature students with an interest in the wider study and context of John Donne’s work.

Ero per loro uno di altre città” ritornato a Napoli per un amore, Erri De Luca si ritrova a rivivere la città dell'infanzia e della fanciullezza con altri occhi, gli occhi di un manovale che suda ogni giorno sotto la pressa del sole, che ritorna a casa con sottobraccio Viaggio al termine della notte, che conosce l'amore e la tentazione amara di accettare un conto che ci è presentato sotto spoglie ingannevoli.

What Did You Do in the Cold War, Daddy?: Personal Stories from a Troubled Time
|
["Ann Curthoys"]
| 3.14 | 7 | 3 |
The Cold War was a turbulent time to grow up in: family ties were tested, friendships were torn apart, and new beliefs forged out of the ruins of old loyalties. In this book, through 12 evocative stories of childhood and early adulthood in Australia during the Cold War years, writers from vastly different backgrounds explore how global political events affected the intimate space of home, family life, and friendships. Some writers were barely in their teens when they felt the first touches of their parents’ political lives, both on the Left and the Right. Others grew up in households well attuned to activism across the spectrum, including anticommunism, workers’ rights, anti-Vietnam War, antiapartheid, and women’s rights. Sifting through the key political and social developments in Australia from the end of World War II to the early 1990s, including the referendum to ban the Communist Party of Australia, the rise of “the Movement” and the Labor split, and postwar migration, this book is a powerful and poignant telling of the ways in which the political is personal.

Animal Movement Across Scales
|
["Lars-Anders Hansson"]
| 5 | 1 | null |
Movement, dispersal, and migration on land, in the air, and in water, are pervading features of animal life. They are performed by a huge variety of organisms, from the smallest protozoans to the largest whales, and can extend over widely different distance scales, from the microscopic to global. Integrating the study of movement, dispersal, and migration is crucial for a detailed understanding of the spatial scale of adaptation, and for analysing the consequences of landscape and climate change as well as of invasive species. This novel book adopts a broad, cross-taxonomic approach to animal movement across both temporal and spatial scales, addressing how and why animals move, and in what ways they differ in their locomotion and navigation performance. Written by an integrated team of leading researchers, the book synthesizes our current knowledge of the genetics of movement, including gene flow and local adaptations, whilst providing a future perspective on how patterns of
animal migration may change over time together with their potential evolutionary consequences. Novel technologies for tracking the movement of organisms across scales are also discussed, ranging from satellite devices for tracking global migrations to nanotechnology that can follow animals only a millimetre in size.
Animal Movement Across Scales is particularly suitable for graduate level students taking courses in spatial animal ecology, animal migration, and 'movement ecology', as well as providing a source of fresh ideas and opinions for those already active within the field. It will also be of interest and use to a broader audience of professional biologists interested in animal movements and migrations.

A Light Unto My Path: An Exposition of Psalm 119
|
["J.D. Watson"]
| 3.75 | 4 | 1 |
Part of the incomprehensible miracle of inspiration is that God used the personality, experiences, and even words of each Scripture writer so that the result was not only what the writer wanted to say but also exactly what God wanted to say. There is no better example of this than in the Psalms. We see the whole gamut of human experience—the positives and the negatives—but God is in it all and controlling it all. Sometimes we see a psalmist at the absolute lowest point of his life, and at other times at the highest, but God used it all to convey His truth with absolute precision. Psalm 119 is such a psalm. We see the writer lofty and low, diligent and discouraged, fearless and frightened, victorious and vanquished. The more we read, however, we discover his secret. While many Christians today are looking for the newest trend for their excitement, or seeking the answers to problems by reading the latest self-help book, the psalmist always went to the Word of God: only there did he find everything. This magnificent Psalm is devoted to praising the virtues, merits, and sufficiency of the Word of God and demonstrates the author’s total commitment to it. The present, the, is a complete, verse-by-verse, usually word-by-word, exposition. Based on a series of messages preached on consecutive Lord’s Day mornings from July 2007 through January 2008, it is rich in word studies, clearly outlined, and carefully applied. It is meant to be an encouragement, challenge, and source of growth to God’s people.

["Adam Moon"]

You can now buy the entire eight episode collection for 0.99. It's called Seeder Saga ( B00F28A4F6) and available on Amazon and enrolled in Kindle Unlimited.
Based on responses regarding the size of these episodes, I've decided to discontinue them as of 9/8. To make sure everyone reading through them gets a good deal, I've dropped the Seeder Saga from 3.99 to 0.99 for a limited time which is the price of each individual episode.
Adam Moon
Crusoe has discovered that Jason Rodriguez may not be human. When they wake him from stasis, he tells them a terrible tale.
During a bloody interrogation, he tells them about his people and their plans for the Seeder.
Jason has sealed their fate. But Crusoe and the crew prove to be far more resourceful than he had anticipated.

After All These Years: Our Story

["Mick Foster"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
This is the combined life story of Mick Foster and Tony Allen, revealing how these most unlikely of stars toured the world and entered the record books. A charming narrative told with heaps of Celtic charm, it is filled with nostalgic reminiscences about growing up in rural Ireland in the 1950s and 60s, and spans the breadth of their long career, including appearing on Top of the Pops alongside Bob Geldof and being feted by Terry Wogan, and the extraordinary moment when they found themselves at the very top of the charts, beating Take That to the number-one slot.

The Bark Before Christmas

["Laurien Berenson"]

Melanie Travis has her hands full with her two young sons, a part-time job, and a half dozen Poodles to her name. But even with the busy holiday season approaching, she still has time to sniff out a Christmastime killer…
There’s nothing lovelier than Christmas in Connecticut, but Melanie can scarcely find a moment to enjoy the festivities. With her youngest son approaching toddlerhood, she’s decided to return to her old job at Howard Academy, a posh private school attended by the children of Greenwich’s well-heeled gentry. Balancing work, motherhood, and the hectic dog show circuit takes some fancy footwork, especially when the headmaster taps her to be the chairman of the school’s Christmas Bazaar.
The Christmas Bazaar is Howard Academy’s biggest and most important fundraiser, so Melanie feels the pressure to make it a huge success. She even enlists her long-suffering sister-in-law Bertie to help with the Santa Claus and Pets Photo Booth. But everything goes awry when a prize show dog goes missing and Santa turns up dead. The dog’s owner is one of the school’s most perfectly pedigreed alums, and she enlists Melanie to help find the purloined pooch. But just as Melanie starts pawing at the truth, she digs up a sleighful of sinister secrets that leaves everyone feeling less than merry…

Il Vendetta
|
["B. Regan Asher"]
| 5 | 1 | 2 |
Few knew the truth: the world's largest retailer would lie, steal and murder. This secret was protected by a clandestine security group, paid for out of the profits from a trillion dollars in annual sales. Profits also enabled senior managers to enjoy private jets and massive bonuses as they misled employees, customers and shareholders.
At the same time, suppliers and employees struggled to make ends meet. Some factories were pushed into bankruptcy, even forcing Chinese government involvement. Yet the retailer didn’t come under public scrutiny until its own employees were physically attacked.
Mark Davidson learned Star Stores’ dirty little secret while working for a supplier. But once he knew the truth, he also became a target. It would be a race against time to disclose what he knew before the retailer could stop him. And Star Stores would stop at nothing to prevent the truth from getting out, including extortion, kidnapping and murder.
Throw in evil managers, weak buyers, innocent suppliers, vindictive employees, and this is a story not to be missed.
This edition includes corrections to the original Kindle version.

“What child hasn’t wondered what it would be like to magically transform into a favorite animal? Squiggle , another great read from Wurge, takes us on such an adventure and will encourage children to use their imaginations, while teaching valuable life lessons.”—Jo Gilmour, teacher and children’s book reviewer, Brooklyn Elementary School, Wisconsin Praise for Billy and the Birdfrogs : “ Billy survives by the sheer weight of its own insane internal logic. . . . There’s definitely an element of Dahl’s fondness for weirdness in this pup. . . . For those funny-book junkies out there, Billy fulfills a need. Downright weird, and that’s a-okay with me, it’s worth a gander.”— School Library Journal “Mystery, suspense, and conflict build a plot of nonstop adventure. . . . Superb character development . . . clever illustrations, delightful humor, a marvelous story . . . with an appeal for all ages. Entertaining, downright funny, and highly imaginative. A great read.”— Midwest Book Review When her soul becomes lodged in a stuffed-toy monkey, nine-year-old Lobelia embarks on an outrageous series of New York and Paris adventures, helped by an odd but kindly scientist, before becoming a girl again and being reunited with her family at the top of the Eiffel Tower. B.B. Wurge began writing children’s books after leaving his first career as an orangutan in a primate house. He says, “I’ve been told the world is crazy. That may be true, but children can navigate successfully through our crazy world if they stick to fundamental loyalty to family and friends, compassion, and an open imagination.” Wurge lives in an elevator in Manhattan.

Diarmait King Of Leinster
|
["Nicky Furlong"]
| 4.5 | 2 | null |
Putrid while living, damned when dead', has been the epitaph of Diarmait Mac Murchada (Dermot MacMurrough), King of Leinster, the man credited with inflicting 800 years of strife on Ireland. Diarmait ruled in a time of great turbulence, when kingdoms were lost and gained through violent battle and hostage taking, and when it was common for kings to maim or blind the most accomplished of their own sons to avoid competition for the throne. Just such a black picture has built up over the years of Diarmait's outrageous stories of rape, abduction, mutilation and murder, of the fierce hatred he provoked in his enemies, and which ultimately led to his downfall. But behind this also lies the story of a cultured and accomplished ruler, a man who inspired love and loyalty in his family and absolute devotion from his followers, and who became so attracted to church reform that he established monasteries and abbeys for the Cistercians and Augustinians. This is the story of Diarmait, King of Leinster, one of the foremost kings of Ireland, and a key figure in Irish history. Nicholas Furlong is a journalist, historian and author from County Wexford. He has written and edited several books including The Women of 1798, Young Farmer Seeks Wife and Wexford in the Rare Oul' Times.

The Cost of Not Educating the World's Poor: The new economics of learning
|
["Lynn Ilon"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
In The Cost of Not Educating the World’s Poor , Lynn Ilon observes from her 30 years of travel and work in some 20 developing countries, how global instability, problems of environmental degradation, spread of global disease, migration and political instability are a cost of viewing the uneducated poor as separated from a networked of fast-growing global knowledge. This book shows how powerful global learning systems are rapidly forming and linking the rich world with the world of the poor and developing nations. Using a narrative voice interleaved with concise introductions to the underlying theories (economics, development, learning, technology and networks) it shows us how changing our ways of thinking can lead to new possibilities. The Cost of Not Educating the World’s Poor is based on an emerging theory of development economics and the author’s own vast experiences and stories. It also discusses, among other This inter-disciplinary assessment of international learning inequality and the methods to overcome it will appeal to researchers concerned with emerging concepts of global learning networks and their effects on development. It will also be of interest to students and policymakers studying national inequality, economics, and global development.

In this book, you will learn the causes, the results, and the solutions to a crisis in standards and belief which, unfortunately, is rapidly engulfing us. In a time like this, our leaders need prayer. We all need prayer!
First, there is an urgen need for a book which can effectively identify the primary problems confronting us in our denomination today, so they can be eliminated. Second, there is an equally great need for information on how, individually, we can return to the higher standards of earlier years, as well as to be able to obtain a better understanding of our historic beliefs which modernists are denying.

From the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, this thrilling story deals with kings, queens, knights, religious wars, saints, Revolutionary and Civil War heroes, explorers, settlers, farmers, poets, businessmen, and even spirit mediums. It has 95 illustrations and photos, many of which have never been published.It even covers never before published information on the Stone Age ancestors of the Houghtons that can be traced back over 300,000 years by using modern DNA testing and new archeology and paleoanthropology findings. I trust that I have captured some of the achievements, hopes, dreams, lives, and even sorrow and anguish of our forefathers so that they will not be forgotten by future generations.

La cabellera de la Shoá
|
["Félix Grande"]
| 4.25 | 4 | null |
Tal como relató Félix Grande, antes de visitar el campo de Auschwitz-Birkenau, ya había viajado en otras dos ocasiones a Polonia, pero no había acudido al campo de concentración “quizá por cobardía”. Cuando lo hizo “creía que conocía prácticamente todo el horror que había allí”, pero no fue así. Lo que más le sobrecogió fue la enorme mata de pelo de mujer que se exponía en un escaparate de cristal a la mirada del visitante. La Guía del Museo de Auschwitz lo describe como sigue: “El Ejército Soviético encontró en los almacenes, al proceder a la liberación del Campo, cerca de 7000 kg de pelo humano, empaquetado en sacos de papel. Era solo un resto que las autoridades del Campo no tuvieron ya tiempo de enviar a las fábricas situadas en Baviera, para su transformación […]. Con el pelo se fabricaba una especie de sayal.” Esos cabellos humanos son el origen de La cabellera de la Shoá. Si el silencio es una alternativa cuando la palabra miente, como señalaba Steiner, también el lenguaje puede desvelar la verdad de lo inenarrable. Frente al silencio, el horror de Auschwitz habla a través de las esquirlas de lenguaje del poeta para decirnos su verdad.

Spatial Data Analysis: Models, Methods and Techniques
|
["Manfred M. Fischer"]
| 4 | 3 | null |
The availability of spatial databases and widespread use of geographic information systems has stimulated increasing interest in the analysis and modelling of spatial data. Spatial data analysis focuses on detecting patterns, and on exploring and modelling relationships between them in order to understand the processes responsible for their emergence. In this way, the role of space is emphasised , and our understanding of the working and representation of space, spatial patterns, and processes is enhanced. In applied research, the recognition of the spatial dimension often yields different and more meaningful results and helps to avoid erroneous conclusions. This book aims to provide an introduction into spatial data analysis to graduates interested in applied statistical research. The text has been structured from a data-driven rather than a theory-based perspective, and focuses on those models, methods and techniques which are both accessible and of practical use for graduate students. Exploratory techniques as well as more formal model-based approaches are presented, and both area data and origin-destination flow data are considered.

Murder in Skarhamn A Swedish Crime Novel
|
["Ramona Fransson"]
| 3.17 | 84 | 5 |
On the west coast of Sweden, in Skärhamn on Tjörn, Chief Inspector Greger Thulin thinks he lives at an idyllic spot. But even the most beautiful painting can have a faulty stroke of the brush. Hiding behind the walls of Bleket School, are bullying and drug addicted students. Homeroom teacher, Jonas Blomgren, lives on Rönnvägen. Amanda Durén and Belinda Wallin are pupils in his class. Amanda wears designer clothes, spreads money around and lives in a mansion, while Belinda’s family is grateful if there’s enough money to cover their basic needs. Belinda’s mother, Margit Wallin, has a bad feeling about her daughter’s teacher. Could he be following Belinda, and if so, why? At the same time love is in the air between some of the detectives. When the first murder victim shows up on Lyckebacken in Skärhamn, Greger Thulin is convinced that it won’t take long for them to find the murderer, but starts to get discouraged when the investigation drags on. Inspector Katarina Linde and Forensic Detective Charlotte Engman are called in and try to put the pieces of the puzzle together from the clues they manage to find. It turns out the victim had an apartment on Eklandagatan in Gothenburg. What was he doing there? Soon Katarina starts to suspect that behind the victim’s family façade, is a man who may be capable of even more than beating his wife. Greger Thulin is forced to ask the unavoidable question; has the peace and quiet of Skärhamn been put in a backpack, thrown on board a boat, and been transported out to sea?

["Dallas Lore Sharp"]
| 4 | 3 | null |
Dallas Lore Sharp was born in 1870 in Haleyville, Cumberland County, New Jersey. After a childhood spent exploring the fields, forests, and swamps of South Jersey, he attended Brown University and eventually became Professor of English at Boston University. Writing in the first quarter of the twentieth century, Sharp was among the most popular nature writers of his time. He mused on aspects of nature that could be found in one's backyard - native birds, small mammals, creeks, trees and loose fall leaves - successfully translating the wild world into his readers' living rooms. The present volume is a selection of essays from The Whole Year Round, originally published as four shorter texts, each based on a season. In these essays Sharp concentrates upon the small scale of the natural world, a focus that highlights the grandness of nature as a whole.

Open the gate to Fairacre, America’s favorite English village.
The English village of Fairacre may appear idyllically peaceful to passersby, but those who live among its shady lanes always have problems to untangle. When a terrible rumor emerges — that the Fairacre School is to be closed and the children bused to nearby Beech Green — the village is up in arms at once. The schoolmistress, Miss Read, suffers agonizing indecision at the prospect, and her situation is made worse when her infants’ room teacher decides to leave and the short-tempered Mrs. Pringle becomes more contrary than ever.

Am nächsten Morgen findet Loretta einen toten Mann, ausgerechnet in ihrer Strandburg. Noch schlimmer: Es ist der unsympathische Typ, mit dem sich ihr Kumpel Frank am Vorabend angelegt hat. Und leider kann sich Frank an nichts erinnern. Klar, dass er jetzt der Hauptverdächtige ist. Loretta setzt alle Hebel in Gang, um seine Unschuld zu beweisen. Doch der friesische Kommissar lässt sich so leicht nicht von seiner Meinung abbringen. - Rasant, herzlich und sehr komisch! Im dritten Band der Loretta-Luchs-Reihe läuft die Protagonistin wieder einmal zu Hochform auf.

["Lucille Bellucci"]

"In her stories, Lucille Bellucci covers the world, where she has lived, with her peculiar off-center view. Her humor is a just treatment of comedy, and no one can deliver a grim look at history as she has lived it. Seven of Bellucci's stories and essays have won first-place awards. They make you laugh because you can see the thoughts, action and inner tremors. They are unrehearsed Life. There is plenty of sadness and drama, as well, and she does not flinch at those in the perplexities of that same life.
Her favorite humorist is James Thurber, and it shows. Oddly, her other favorite reading is novels on war, because the good ones have no time for artifice. Her own novels are exactly that. Ride along with her and see inside her head, if you can."

The Pursuit of Perfection: The Promise and Perils of Medical Enchancement
|
["Sheila M. Rothman"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
What does it mean to live in a time when medical science can not only cure the human body but also reshape it? How should we as individuals and as a society respond to new drugs and genetic technologies? Sheila and David Rothman address these questions with a singular blend of history and analysis, taking us behind the scenes to explain how scientific research, medical practice, drug company policies, and a quest for peak performance combine to exaggerate potential benefits and minimize risks. They present a fascinating and factual story from the rise of estrogen and testosterone use in the 1920s and 1930s to the frenzy around liposuction and growth hormone to the latest research into the genetics of aging. The Rothmans reveal what happens when physicians view patients’ unhappiness and dissatisfaction with their bodies—short stature, thunder thighs, aging—as though they were diseases to be treated. The Pursuit of Perfection takes us from the early days of endocrinology (the belief that you are your hormones) to today’s frontier of genetic enhancements (the idea that you are your genes). It lays bare the always complicated and sometimes compromised positions of science, medicine, and commerce. This is the book to read before signing on for the latest medical fix.From the Hardcover edition.

Temporary Price Reduction
Hello, my name is Glynnis Stuart. I am 11 years old.
I gathered these recipes from my friends parents as part of a school heritage project. My teacher, Miss Stuart, said that recipes are often lost if they are not shared with the next generation.
I got an A on the assignment and then comes summer break and a suggestion to stretch ourselves over the break and report our results when the new school year starts.
My mother suggested that I gather these recipes into a book and sell it on Kindle with proceeds going into my college fund. So, please give me good feedback and suggest your friends buy this book so that I can afford to go to college.
The holidays are rapidly approaching and you still have vivid memories of trying to feed the hungry crowds of family and visitors. You probably ran out of some kind of dessert.
This cookbook for prepare ahead cookies will keep that from happening ever again.
Prepare the cookie dough up to four weeks ahead of time, store in the refrigerator, add a few ingredients at the last minute and you have fresh cookies with little mess and no fuss.
You will be able to impress your friends and family with a half dozen types of cookies that you can prepare in minutes. They will all want to know your secret to your new found baking expertise. Will you share your secrets? It is up to you.
For all cookie doughs, you will need one gallon plastic storage bags and a marker. Use the marker to write the name of the cookie dough on the bag before you add the ingredients.
For ease of last minute baking, none of these recipes use a mixer and all can be stirred by hand.
These prepared cookie dough mixes make excellent gifts. Just be sure to share the final preparation directions with the recipient.
NOTE FROM GRANDMA - I helped my 11 year old granddaughter - Glynnis assemble this book from recipes she got from one of her grandmothers (not me). Since Glynnis is only 11, this book is published under my account.
Thank you.

Berberstudien & A Sketch of Siwi Berber
|
["Werner Vycichl"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
Werner Vycichl (1909–1999) was among the foremost specialists in Berber historical linguistics. Taking a broad comparative view, his studies of Berber historical phonetics and morphology incited much interest and often provided fertile ground for discussions. Among the largest projects he envisaged was a “Handbuch der Berbersprachen”, an overview of Berber historical linguistics, phonetics and morphology. Although he worked on this for over twenty-five years, he was not able to finish it. The first part of this edition is an extract of his manuscript. It contains article-like chapters dealing mainly with Berber language materials in antique sources, historical phonetics and morphology of the Berber languages. The second part of this volume is a hitherto unpublished sketch of the Berber language of Siwa (Egypt). Based on fieldwork undertaken over many years, it provides us with a full overview of Siwan morphology, as well as with important insights into its phonology and syntax. — In 2012 Christfried Naumann published his PhD thesis on the tonology of Siwi in this series, see the following “Acoustically Based Phonemics of Siwi (Berber)” (Berber Studies vol. 36, ISBN 978-3-89645-936-7).

Real Natural Meditation: 17 Practical Meditation Techniques To Get Out Of Your Head And Into The Here Now
|
["Vincent Vinturi"]
| 4 | 4 | 3 |
This short book is a collection of 17 practical meditation techniques that you can begin using immediately to quiet down the chatter of your mind and to center yourself in the present moment.
Each of these techniques have evolved from years of experimentation. They are not theoretical or intellectual but purely existential and practical. They were chosen because they are easy, accessible and they work for a large cross-section of people.
There are many misconceptions about what meditation IS. Meditation isn't something you can do. Because meditation is the stoppage of all doing, thinking, projecting, worrying. It is simply being - existing - in the present moment with total awareness and ease.
Chances are, you've experienced moments of meditation in your life. Moments in which you witnessed your mind and body's functioning like a 3rd party observer. Moments in which you were completely present to your experience, taking it all in without interpretation. This witnessing may happen in the throes of an orgasm, or while playing a musical instrument, or while hiking in the woods.
If you've known this feeling, you know that words don't quite do it justice. But the modern man and woman is so stressed, that we NEED some reliable tools in our toolbox to get us out of our heads and into our bodies, here and now.
Even if you only pick up 2 or 3 of these meditation techniques, you'll be light years ahead of the average person. You'll have some spiritual technology that you can use to reliably calm your mind, relax your body, and cultivate a deep awareness and sensitivity to life itself.
Osho has said that meditation is the art of opening your eyes. It's very tempting to keep our eyes closed because life in its full intensity can be overwhelming. So meditation is an act of courage, a gesture of awakening.
Here are some of the things you can expect from an honest foray into
- Your intelligence will grow and expand
- You will begin to think less about life and experience and live it more
- You will find yourself able to handle difficult situations in your life with more grace and acceptance
- You will become a much better listener
- You will begin to find tremendous joy and beauty in all things, big and small
- You will find your ego dissolving
- You will learn how to better let go of the past and embrace the unknown of the present
- You will grow a deep awareness in your being
- You will become more responsive and responsible
- You will come to know yourself
Unlike psychotherapy or Western modalities, meditation uses a no-mind approach to arrive at truth. The mind, the ego, the concepts we have of life, all interfere with the actual LIVING of life. And meditation doesn't require you to sit around in a lotus position or chant a mantra. It's extremely practical and you only need to play with the various techniques to be convinced of it's effectiveness.
Some of the techniques may work for you. Others may not. Since you are a unique human being, it's natural that certain techniques suit you better than others. Almost nobody in the whole history of the world who has experimented with meditation has found that he didn't receive some benefit from it.
But a word of meditation won't solve all of your problems. If you are unhealthy because you don't take care of your body, you can't meditate this away. But in meditation, you'll become so aware of these kinds of issues, that you can't help but do something about them because you see them so clearly.
So meditation awakens courage, strength, awareness and many other beautiful qualities in your being. And it can be done anywhere, any time. Give yourself the gift of presence. The gift of living in the here and now. As Osho has said, "take a courageous jump into the ocean of life" and try these meditation techniques!

Con la mia valigia gialla
|
["Stefania Bergo"]
| 4.55 | 20 | 14 |
"Con la mia valigia gialla" è il racconto di un viaggio. Del mio primo viaggio in terra d’Africa, da sola, come volontaria in un ospedale rurale del Kenya. È il racconto dei piccoli eventi quotidiani (solo apparentemente banali) accaduti in quelle tre settimane, conditi con una manciata di riflessioni sulle diverse abitudini e sulla cultura locali. È la fotografia della natura spettacolare di cui mi sono innamorata, di una realtà che mi ha cambiata, intervallata alla trascrizione dei messaggi telefonici inviati da Matiri al mio amico Marco, che lui ha conservato a mia insaputa come un diario di aggiornamenti di stato.

Black Market Baby: An Adopted Woman's Journey
|
["Renee Clarke"]
| 3.49 | 477 | 32 |
alternate cover edition of ISBN: 9780933294066
Half the U.S. population (140 million Americans) have an adoption in their immediate family. There is an estimated seven million, or one-third of the Canadian population, involved in the triad of adoption. The thread of this book is adoption through which the fascinating twists of Clarke's life are woven: divorce, "dropping out," living in the wilderness, overcoming cancer, estrangement of her children, and finding a soul mate. "Black Market Baby" chronicles the life journey and search for birth parents, evolving into an epic tale of illegitimate babies sold illegally through adoption rings operating in Montreal, Quebec, and the northeast United States during the 30s, 40s and early 50s. This intriguing account is told against a backdrop of historical events from 1940 to the present day. "Renee Clarke writes of her solace found in the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains, her deep and abiding love for three daughters and her lengthy, life-changing search for her natural mother ... the roots she never knew.

Madame Bovary + Salammbô + Sentimental Education
|
["Gustave Flaubert"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
This carefully crafted ebook: “Madame Bovary + Salammbô + Sentimental Education (3 Unabridged Classics)” contains 3 books in one volume and is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.Madame Bovary, written by Gustave Flaubert, was published in 1857. The story focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Though the basic plot is rather simple, even archetypal, the novel's true art lies in its details and hidden patterns. Salammbô (1862) is a historical novel by Gustave Flaubert. It is set in Carthage during the 3rd century BC, immediately before and during the Mercenary Revolt which took place shortly after the First Punic War. Sentimental Education (1869) is a novel by Gustave Flaubert, and is considered one of the most influential novels of the 19th century. The novel describes the life of a young man living through the revolution of 1848 and the founding of the Second French Empire, and his love for an older woman. The novel's tone is by turns ironic and pessimistic; it occasionally lampoons French society. The main character, Frédéric, often gives himself to romantic flights of fancy.Gustave Flaubert (1821 – 1880) was an influential French writer who is counted among the greatest novelists in Western literature. He is known especially for his first published novel, Madame Bovary (1857), for his Correspondence, and for his scrupulous devotion to his art and style.

And Eat It Too

["Habu"]

Andy and his pregnant young wife, Sandi, arrive at a Richmond, Virginia, B&B from Norfolk on a business assignment for Andy. He suspects that it requires him to cast aside his denial of a gay/bisexual past, in favor of a normal family life, to close the business deal.
Sandi has her own lesbian/bisexual past she’s given up for marriage and motherhood. At the Richmond B&B, though, the two fall into the clutches of a swinger bisexual older couple, a naval admiral and his siren of a wife, as well as the temptations of a luscious black bisexual B&B host and his submissive male partner.
As the admiral, who has recognized Andy from his previous life as a pole dancer at a naval dockside gay bar, pushes a philosophy of having your cake and eating it too, the young couple are sorely tempted to fall irrevocably back into an every-which-way lifestyle.
Warnings: Contains casual pansexual sex, gay sex, group sex, interracial sex, and pregnant sex.

Hacking the Digital Print: Alternative image capture and printmaking processes with a special section on 3D printing
|
["Bonny Pierce Lhotka"]
| 4.13 | 8 | 1 |
Don't bother reading this book unless you're ready to get your hands dirty. In "Hacking the Digital Print, " artist Bonny Lhotka redefines what it means to be a photographer. For one thing, you don't always need Photoshop to alter the reality you capture through your lens. In this book, you'll learn how to create unique images using tools you make and modify yourself. Lhotka shows you how to use analog distortion filters, custom textures, and lens modifiers to create images that look like "you" made them, not an app. You'll also learn how to re-create classic printmaking techniques using non-toxic digital alternatives, including a water-based transfer solution that's safe to use anywhere, whether it's the studio, classroom, or kitchen counter. Anyone can push a button and create a nice print-there is little challenge in getting a high-quality image out of a desktop printer these days. Lhotka shows you how to take your work to the next level by printing on materials such as wood, glass, plastics, and metal. For the truly adventurous, Lhotka shares her custom techniques for taking photographs and applying them to 3D-printed objects created with popular consumer 3D printers. Part artist/part mad scientist, Lhotka has spent many hours experimenting, hacking, and tearing things apart to discover new ways to take, make, and print images. She encourages you to take the techniques you'll learn in this book, hack them, and make them your own. With some techniques you will fail. It will be messy. You will try and have to try again. But in the process, you will make your own exciting discoveries, find solutions to your own problems, and create a body of work that is uniquely yours.

Churches and Charity in the Immigrant City: Religion, Immigration, and Civic Engagement in Miami
|
["Alex Stepick"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
In addition to being a religious countryùover ninety percent of Americans believe in God--the United States is also home to more immigrants than ever before. Churches and Charity in the Immigrant City focuses on the intersection of religion and civic engagement among Miami's immigrant and minority groups. The contributors examine the role of religious organizations in developing social relationships and how these relationships affect the broader civic world. Essays, for example, consider the role of leadership in the promotion and creation of "civic social capital" in a Haitian Catholic church, transnational ties between Cuban Catholics in Miami and Havana, and several African American congregations that serve as key comparisons of civic engagement among minorities.This book is important not only for its theoretical contributions to the sociology of religion, but also because it gives us a unique glimpse into immigrants' civic and religious lives in urban America.

Shock and Awe: Glam Rock and Its Legacy, from the Seventies to the Twenty-first Century
|
["Simon Reynolds"]
| 3.99 | 695 | 108 |
From the acclaimed author of Rip It Up and Start Again and Retromania—“the foremost popular music critic of this era (Times Literary Supplement)—comes the definitive cultural history of glam and glitter rock, celebrating its outlandish fashion and outrageous stars, including David Bowie and Alice Cooper, and tracking its vibrant legacy in contemporary pop.
Spearheaded by David Bowie, Alice Cooper, T. Rex, and Roxy Music, glam rock reveled in artifice and spectacle. Reacting against the hairy, denim-clad rock bands of the late Sixties, glam was the first true teenage rampage of the new decade. In Shock and Awe, Simon Reynolds takes the reader on a wild cultural tour through the early Seventies, a period packed with glitzy costumes and alien make-up, thrilling music and larger-than-life personas.
Shock and Awe offers a fresh, in-depth look at the glam and glitter phenomenon, placing it the wider Seventies context of social upheaval and political disillusion. It explores how artists like Lou Reed, New York Dolls and Queen broke with the hippie generation, celebrating illusion and artifice over truth and authenticity. Probing the genre’s major themes—stardom, androgyny, image, decadence, fandom, apocalypse—Reynolds tracks glam’s legacy as it unfolded in subsequent decades, from Eighties art-pop icons like Kate Bush through to twenty-first century idols of outrage such as Lady Gaga.
Shock and Awe shows how the original glam artists’ obsessions with fame, extreme fashion, and theatrical excess continue to reverberate through contemporary pop culture.

Gods of the Sun
|
["Jeffrey Cook"]
| 4.65 | 17 | 10 |
In 1816, Gregory Conan Watts's chronicle of the adventures begun in Dawn of Steam: First Light continues – as does the Year Without a Summer. The crew of the airship Dame Fortuna travel to four continents and are embroiled in combat on three of them: conflict with New Spain in Britain's American colonies, an ambush in Machu Picchu, and entanglement in the Maori Potato Wars in New Zealand. As they progress through darkened skies, Gregory gradually discovers that nothing at all was as he thought it was. All his assumptions are cast into doubt: what their orders are, which tales of foreign lands are true, and what parts of the social order as he knows it really are natural. Also in doubt is whether they will all survive the experience. Dawn of Steam: Gods of the Sun is an alternate-history, early-era Steampunk epistolary novel.

A Different Kind of AIDS: Folk and Lay Theories in South African Townships
|
["David Dickinson"]
| 4.5 | 4 | null |
This book explores how HIV/AIDS is understood in South African townships, where infection continues apace despite extensive educational efforts and where AIDS deaths continue despite the availability of antiretroviral treatment. The book focuses on nonscientific or alternative understandings of AIDS—the folk and lay theories that circulate within African communities. It describes how these local theories constitute a plural belief structure that underlies and supports the de facto plural health-care system operating in South Africa, a system that is readily acknowledged but rarely seriously engaged. Three major folk theories of AIDS are explored: religious, traditional African, and racial constructions of the disease. A range of lay theories, primarily ways of outsmarting the disease, are also described and explained. The book teases out the construction of these varied beliefs within the lives of township residents by weaving together an action research project in which HIV/AIDS peer educators reported on what was being said about HIV/AIDS in their communities and from in-depth accounts from township residents infected or affected by AIDS. The book’s approach constitutes a respectful, engaging, and unsettling investigation into how the wide spectrum of alternative explanations of AIDS continue to flourish despite massive and prolonged public health campaigns based on and promoting the biomedical understanding of the disease. This is a wake-up call over the comfortable but flawed approaches to AIDS education that have delivered so little for three decades.

Just Life: Bioethics and the Future of Sexual Difference
|
["Mary C. Rawlinson"]
| 4 | 2 | 1 |
Just Life reorients ethics and politics around the generativity of mothers and daughters rather than the right to property and the sexual proprieties of the oedipal drama. Invoking two concrete universals―everyone is born of a woman and everyone needs to eat―Rawlinson rethinks labor and food as relationships that make ethical claims and sustain agency. Just Life counters the capitalization of bodies under biopower with the solidarity of sovereign bodies.

Brenda is feeling lost and unhappy in her college biology course – a course she really needs to pass! David is her brilliant, hot, and passionate professor. She has been attracted to him since the first day she walked into class. Now she’s all alone with him in his office, and her tutoring session is going to turn into a lesson in uncontrollable lust.WARNING: This 4,700+ word erotic story contains a young woman’s sexually explicit encounter with her college professor in his office. All characters are over the age of eighteen.Excerpt:"Never say that again, okay?" he said. "I don't think that about you, and I don't want you thinking it either."He looked down at her so intensely that she didn't know what to think. Her hands wanted to reach out and slip across his chest so very badly. She couldn't do that though, could she? His eyes were soft and warm, and his hand never left her. He was just cupping her chin now, and staring back down at her.When their lips met, it happened so suddenly and fiercely that she wasn't sure who started it.She realized she was finally free to touch him. Free to explore that hard, warm torso she had been looking at all day. He drew in a sharp breath when her hand met his chest, and pressed itself against him through the fabric of his shirt.Their lips touched, parted, tongues probed and flicked against one another. She didn't want to open her eyes because she was afraid of breaking the spell.Then his hand found her breast. She gasped when he cupped it, and squeezed it very gently.She was suddenly growing very warm and wet. It almost never happened that fast. Usually she needed a man to coax and caress her gently and patiently before she started to grow squishy for him. Not here though. There was already a warm ball growing deep in her belly, a heat that wanted him inside of her, soon.She pulled back and looked up at him now. He looked back at her with open lust, his hand still on her breast. If she pulled away now, what would he do? Probably stop. Maybe even be embarrassed that he'd gone over the line in the teacher-student relationship. Did she want that?No. Not at all.

Nueva Cuenta
|
["Freddy Gutierrez"]
| 5 | 3 | 1 |
Gutierrez's poems illuminate parallels between a personal sense of indigenized identity and the legacy of colonialism via the California Mission system and its impact on the local ecology. "Our people need new prayers from our first tongues. NUEVA CUENTA shows that a soul in its lucid wandering is both the presentation of mathematical brilliance and visceral mystery; that the poet is the incarnation in a circle of instructors who crafts reminders that origin is future and every line of our story is food for beauty and resistance. Here is a song to take with you on our fight for liberation; to take with us on all of our returns to earth and essence. Be fit for the run...rise en masse."--Tongo Eisen-Martin, author of SOMEONE'S DEAD ALREADY (Bootstrap Press, 2015) "In Freddy Gutierrez's poetry, language skips and repeats like the past, in all its disastrous beauty, in order to sing a new future into being. He sings for himself and always others. In NUEVA CUENTA, a song of the land emerges, the story of European arrivals and indigenous resistance, the particularity of plants, the pain of history, the possibility of recovery, and the dream of a world that could be otherwise."--Stephanie Young, author of URSULA OR UNIVERSITY (Krupskaya, 2013).

Gold: A Different Point of View
|
["Paul McGowan"]
| 4 | 5 | 1 |
Should you invest in gold?More to the point, can you afford to?This book argues that you cannot NOT afford to, in terms of safety and return, but also that anyone can start investing in gold. Gold is not just ingots. The common response to gold is that it is only for the those heavy bars, alluring though they may be, are simply unaffordable. But gold comes in more attractive Coins. This book explains not only the value of gold in itself, but also demonstrates that gold coins are the affordable way to start investing in the precious metal.From the Preface by Bill Bonner :“Gold will be in a bubble someday. But it doesn’t appear to be in one yet. Real interest rates are negative. Central banks are committed to further acts of monetary vandalism. The bubble will come later. When more people realise what is happening to their paper money and their national finances. In the meantime, gold coins are a simple way to protect yourself.”
