Download or read book Ramblings of a 21st Century Human written by I. M. Human and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-02 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ramblings are said to be meandering talks that go from one subject to another without any clear purpose or direction. This might indeed be true in the case of this series, however even though the subjects might not be related to one another, the purpose of them is one; to give something back to the reader that can be shared with other humans. There are countless undisputed truths here, but also a few open questions. This is a different kind of book. Everybody has that one friend that you end up learning a thing or two from every time you meet, and if you don't have one, you really should! Each book in the series is full of thoughts, facts, opinions, puzzles, ideas, quotes, riddles, jokes, games, tips, tricks, recipes and anything else that can be absorbed or conjured up by the mind of a 21st century human. At the end of each book there is also a quiz which can be attempted alone, but would be even better organized as a competition with other humans who have read the book as well as those who have not.

Download or read book Ramblings written by Blind at the Wheel and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-04 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OVER 600 PHILOSOPHICAL ONE-LINERS, APHORISMS, MAXIMS The contemporary version of MAXIMS by Duke de La Rochefoucauld, Maxims for Revolutionists by George Bernard Shaw and other such texts with modern concepts and language relevant to the 21st Century while maintaining timeless insights and suggestions. A book fit for any reader; from the geniuses to the masters, the creators, the professionals, the teachers, the workers, the plebs and even the knuckle-dragging pithecanthropoid droolers and mouth breathers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This book was written over a year or two and compiled patiently and scrupulously as new knowledge and perspectives were uncovered throughout a young man's spiritual and philosophical journey in the quest for insights and answers to life's deeper questions. Just as the great teachers of the past preferred to use proverbs and metaphor as a catalyst to evoke deeper thought and realisation, this book seeks to do the same. Such methods seem to encourage the reader to connect the dots for themselves and come to their own conclusions rather than being led to water like a donkey. If any ideas or concepts put forward in this book should offend you in any way... good! You should remember that offence is always taken, and never given. The reader is encouraged to be skeptical about the contents of this book and to challenge the positions held there in. Enjoy my ramblings.
Download or read book 21st Century Yokel written by Tom Cox and published by Unbound Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Glorious – funny and wry and wise, and utterly its own lawmaker' Robert Macfarlane 'A rich, strange, oddly glorious brew' Guardian Longlisted for the Wainwright Golden Beer Book Prize 2018 21st-Century Yokel is not quite nature writing, not quite a family memoir, not quite a book about walking, not quite a collection of humorous essays, but a bit of all five. Thick with owls and badgers, oak trees and wood piles, scarecrows and ghosts, and Tom Cox's loud and excitable dad, this book is full of the folklore of several counties – the ancient kind and the everyday variety – as well as wild places, mystical spots and curious objects. Emerging from this focus on the detail are themes that are broader and bigger and more important than ever. Tom's writing treads a new path, one that has a lot in common with a rambling country walk; it's bewitched by fresh air and big skies, intrepid in minor ways, haunted by weather and old stories and the spooky edges of the outdoors, restless and prone to a few detours, but it always reaches its destination in the end.
Download or read book Ramblings of a Haunted Mind written by Lauren Ipsome and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is NOT your lit-professor's poetry, this is a nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat adventure. From "Abandoned" to "Zombie" it's all in here (yes, I said: zombie poetry!). There's something for everyone in this compilation of works, from the true complexities of poetic nature to the absolutely absurd and wild ramblings of the author via vignettes. Modern, 21st Century poetry is accessible to all readers as urban or spoken word, free-verse and traditional fixed forms, "prosetry," and prose vignettes (short story "snapshots"). These works are thought-provoking and run the gamut from the easy-read to the intense and complex. The author holds nothing back, exploring from the mundane to the taboo, and takes the reader's hand down a tangled path of picking through stones and bones to find the tiny diamonds of wisdom thrown in for good measure. A true cacophony of voices that are the ramblings of a parade of characters and things that haunt and skitter though an author's cluttered mind. "We [writers] don't know where they come from, those proverbial critters that go bump in the night, we're just the messengers. Tragic by nature."

Download or read book Edge of Eternity written by Ken Follett and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 1122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ken Follett's extraordinary historical epic, the Century Trilogy, reaches its sweeping, passionate conclusion. In Fall of Giants and Winter of the World, Ken Follett followed the fortunes of five international families—American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh—as they made their way through the twentieth century. Now they come to one of the most tumultuous eras of all: the 1960s through the 1980s, from civil rights, assassinations, mass political movements, and Vietnam to the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis, presidential impeachment, revolution—and rock and roll. East German teacher Rebecca Hoffmann discovers she’s been spied on by the Stasi for years and commits an impulsive act that will affect her family for the rest of their lives. . . . George Jakes, the child of a mixed-race couple, bypasses a corporate law career to join Robert F. Kennedy's Justice Department and finds himself in the middle of not only the seminal events of the civil rights battle but a much more personal battle of his own. . . . Cameron Dewar, the grandson of a senator, jumps at the chance to do some official and unofficial espionage for a cause he believes in, only to discover that the world is a much more dangerous place than he'd imagined. . . . Dimka Dvorkin, a young aide to Nikita Khrushchev, becomes an agent both for good and for ill as the United States and the Soviet Union race to the brink of nuclear war, while his twin sister, Tanya, carves out a role that will take her from Moscow to Cuba to Prague to Warsaw—and into history.
Download or read book Ramblings of a Lowcountry Game Warden written by Ben McC. Moïse and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this colorful memoir, a South Carolina game warden recounts a quarter-century of adventure patrolling the woods and waters of the Palmetto State. Ben McC. Moïse served with distinction as a South Carolina game warden for nearly a quarter century. In this career-spanning memoir, the cigar-chomping, ticket-writing scourge of lowcountry fish-and-game-law violators chronicles grueling stakeouts, complex trials, hair-raising adventures, and daily interactions with a host of outrageous personalities. With a lawman's eye for fine details, a conservationist's nose for the aroma of pluff mud, and a seasoned storyteller's ear for the rhythms of a good southern yarn, Moïse recounts his stout-hearted and steadfast efforts to protect the lowcountry landscape and bring to justice those who would run roughshod over fish and game laws on the Carolina coast. Along the way he paints a vivid portrait of evolving attitudes and changing regulations governing coastal conservation.
Download or read book The Reproach of Hunger written by David Rieff and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed as “invaluable…a substantial work of political thought,” (New Statesman) in a groundbreaking report, based on years of reporting, David Rieff assesses whether ending extreme poverty and widespread hunger is truly within our reach, as is increasingly promised. Can we provide enough food for nine billion people in 2050, especially the bottom poorest in the Global South? Some of the most brilliant scientists, world politicians, and aid and development experts forecast an end to the crisis of massive malnutrition in the next decades. The World Bank, IMF, and Western governments look to public-private partnerships to solve the problems of access and the cost of food. “Philanthrocapitalists” Bill Gates and Warren Buffett spend billions to solve the problem, relying on technology. And the international development “Establishment” gets publicity from stars Bob Geldorf, George Clooney, and Bono. “Hunger, [David Rieff] writes, is a political problem, and fighting it means rejecting the fashionable consensus that only the private sector can act efficiently” (The New Yorker). Rieff, who has been studying and reporting on humanitarian aid and development for thirty years, takes a careful look. He cites climate change, unstable governments that receive aid, the cozy relationship between the philanthropic sector and giants like Monsanto, that are often glossed over in the race to solve the crisis. “This is a stellar addition to the canon of development policy literature” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). The Reproach of Hunger is the most complete and informed description of the world’s most fundamental question: Can we feed the world’s population? Rieff answers a careful “Yes” and charts the path by showing how it will take seizing all opportunities; technological, cultural, and political to wipe out famine and malnutrition.

Download or read book Stories I Tell Myself written by Juan F. Thompson and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hunter S. Thompson, “smart hillbilly,” boy of the South, born and bred in Louisville, Kentucky, son of an insurance salesman and a stay-at-home mom, public school-educated, jailed at seventeen on a bogus petty robbery charge, member of the U.S. Air Force (Airmen Second Class), copy boy for Time, writer for The National Observer, et cetera. From the outset he was the Wild Man of American journalism with a journalistic appetite that touched on subjects that drove his sense of justice and intrigue, from biker gangs and 1960s counterculture to presidential campaigns and psychedelic drugs. He lived larger than life and pulled it up around him in a mad effort to make it as electric, anger-ridden, and drug-fueled as possible. Now Juan Thompson tells the story of his father and of their getting to know each other during their forty-one fraught years together. He writes of the many dark times, of how far they ricocheted away from each other, and of how they found their way back before it was too late. He writes of growing up in an old farmhouse in a narrow mountain valley outside of Aspen—Woody Creek, Colorado, a ranching community with Hereford cattle and clover fields . . . of the presence of guns in the house, the boxes of ammo on the kitchen shelves behind the glass doors of the country cabinets, where others might have placed china and knickknacks . . . of climbing on the back of Hunter’s Bultaco Matador trail motorcycle as a young boy, and father and son roaring up the dirt road, trailing a cloud of dust . . . of being taken to bars in town as a small boy, Hunter holding court while Juan crawled around under the bar stools, picking up change and taking his found loot to Carl’s Pharmacy to buy Archie comic books . . . of going with his parents as a baby to a Ken Kesey/Hells Angels party with dozens of people wandering around the forest in various stages of undress, stoned on pot, tripping on LSD . . . He writes of his growing fear of his father; of the arguments between his parents reaching frightening levels; and of his finally fighting back, trying to protect his mother as the state troopers are called in to separate father and son. And of the inevitable—of mother and son driving west in their Datsun to make a new home, a new life, away from Hunter; of Juan’s first taste of what “normal” could feel like . . . We see Juan going to Concord Academy, a stranger in a strange land, coming from a school that was a log cabin in the middle of hay fields, Juan without manners or socialization . . . going on to college at Tufts; spending a crucial week with his father; Hunter asking for Juan’s opinion of his writing; and he writes of their dirt biking on a hilltop overlooking Woody Creek Valley, acting as if all the horrible things that had happened between them had never taken place, and of being there, together, side by side . . . And finally, movingly, he writes of their long, slow pull toward reconciliation . . . of Juan’s marriage and the birth of his own son; of watching Hunter love his grandson and Juan’s coming to understand how Hunter loved him; of Hunter’s growing illness, and Juan’s becoming both son and father to his father . . .
