Download or read book A Bird That Couldn t Fly written by Tony Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a little book about two big questions, the two greatest questions in all of Western theological thought. Does God exist, and is Jesus God? There are no easy answers to these questions and, certainly, they cannot be addressed in such a small work. The answers are a work of a lifetime. Mr. Jungers has devoted twenty-one books to this subject so far, and he feels that he is only skimming the surface. Thomas Aquinas wrote twenty-one large volumes in Latin trying to answer these questions, and, at the end, said that all his writings seemed like straw. Like the Angelic Doctor, Mr. Jungers attempts to answer both questions in the affirmative. Most of the eight billion people in the world would answer the first question, "Does God Exist", with a yes; however, only about one-forth of the people in the world have ever even entertained the second question, "Is Jesus God"? Certain highlights stand out in this book: a series of e-mails on the birth and early years of the life of Jesus of Nazareth (written around the 2004 Christmas season); Jesus in the eyes of the Jews and the Romans; and the meaning of the Lord's Prayer, when it was said early on by his own disciples. One is invited to read this book with the eyes of faith, in the spirit of St. Paul: "If you confess with your lips That Jesus is Lord And believe in your heart That God raised him from the dead, You will be saved." (Rm 10:9)

Download or read book Vesper Flights written by Helen Macdonald and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling author of H is for Hawk explores the human relationship to the natural world in this “dazzling” essay collection (Wall Street Journal). In Vesper Flights, Helen Macdonald brings together a collection of her best loved essays, along with new pieces on topics ranging from nostalgia for a vanishing countryside to the tribulations of farming ostriches to her own private vespers while trying to fall asleep. Meditating on notions of captivity and freedom, immigration and flight, Helen invites us into her most intimate experiences: observing the massive migration of songbirds from the top of the Empire State Building, watching tens of thousands of cranes in Hungary, seeking the last golden orioles in Suffolk’s poplar forests. She writes with heart-tugging clarity about wild boar, swifts, mushroom hunting, migraines, the strangeness of birds’ nests, and the unexpected guidance and comfort we find when watching wildlife.
Download or read book Lecturing Birds on Flying written by Pablo Triana and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-06-09 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LECTURING BIRDS ON FLYING For the past few decades, the financial world has often displayed an unreasonable willingness to believe that "the model is right, the market is wrong," in spite of the fact that these theoretical machinations were largely responsible for the stock market crash of 1987, the LTCM crisis of 1998, the credit crisis of 2008, and many other blow-ups, large and small. Why have both financial insiders (traders, risk managers, executives) and outsiders (academics, journalists, regulators, the public) consistently demonstrated a willingness to treat quantifications as gospel? Nassim Taleb first addressed the conflicts between theoretical and real finance in his technical treatise on options, Dynamic Hedging. Now, in Lecturing Birds on Flying, Pablo Triana offers a powerful indictment on the trustworthiness of financial theory, explaining—in jargon-free plain English—how malfunctions in these quantitative machines have wreaked havoc in our real world. Triana first analyzes the fundamental question of whether financial markets can in principle really be solved mathematically. He shows that the markets indeed cannot be tamed with equations, presenting a long and powerful list of obstacles to prove his point: maverick unlawful human actions rule the markets, unexpected and unimaginable events shape the markets, and historical data is not necessarily a trustworthy guide to the future of the markets. The author then examines the sources of origin of many prevalent theories and mathematical dictums. He details how the field of financial economics evolved from a descriptive discipline to an abstract one dedicated to technically concocting professors' own versions of how such a world should work. He goes on to explain how Wall Street and other financial centers became eager employers of scientists, and how scientists became eager employees of financial firms. Triana concludes with an in-depth discussion of the most significant historical episodes of theory-caused real-life market malaise, with a strong emphasis on the current credit crisis. In the end, Lecturing Birds on Flying calls for the radical substitution of good old-fashioned common sense in place of mathematical decision-making and the restoration to financial power of those who are completely unchained to the iron ball of classroom-obtained qualifications.

Download or read book Caged Birds Don t Fly written by Ashley Newman and published by Austin Macauley. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prison, a time served, a glance at living behind bars from an artistic eye and a poetic voice. Describing everyday ordeals and ideals that have to be compensated for. How perspectives and perceptions change after crossing a social boundary. Prison having an 'out of sight, out of mind', or 'brushed under the carpet' ethos, do you ever really give a thought to what some go through, living a life away from the world's eyes but right in the middle of society still revolving? Probably not, until a family member or friend faces such a circumstance. I'm no ambassador for changing everyone's views. I paint a picture with poetic words so as to see how such a challenge can affect maybe the common few. No glorifications. I'm merely lending you my eyes, my ears and my soul in my little book of poetic thought and experience.
