Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 7, 1988, Albie Sachs, an activist South African lawyer and a leading member of the ANC, was car-bombed in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, by agents of South Africa’s security forces. His right arm was blown off, and he lost sight in one eye. This intimate and moving account of his recovery traces the gradual recuperation of his broken body and his triumphant reentry into the world, where his dream of soft vengeance was realized with the achievement of democracy in South Africa. This book captures the spirit of a remarkable man: his enormous optimism, his commitment to social justice, and his joyous wonder at the life that surrounds him.

Download or read book Absolutely Almost written by Lisa Graff and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the National Book Award nominee A TANGLE OF KNOTS comes an inspiring novel about figuring out who you are and doing what you love. Albie has never been the smartest kid in his class. He has never been the tallest. Or the best at gym. Or the greatest artist. Or the most musical. In fact, Albie has a long list of the things he's not very good at. But then Albie gets a new babysitter, Calista, who helps him figure out all of the things he is good at and how he can take pride in himself. A perfect companion to Lisa Graff's National Book Award-nominated A Tangle of Knots, this novel explores a similar theme in a realistic contemporary world where kids will easily be able to relate their own struggles to Albie's. Great for fans of Rebecca Stead's Liar and Spy, RJ Palacio's Wonder and Cynthia Lord's Rules. Praise for Lisa Graff's novels Tangle of Knots (nominated for a National Book Award) * "Combining the literary sensibility of E. B. White with the insouciance of Louis Sachar, Graff has written a tangle that should satisfy readers for years to come."--Booklist, starred review Double Dog Dare "Graff's...story is lighthearted and humorous, but honestly addresses the emotions associated with divorce. Her characters' voices, interactions, and hangups are relatable, as they battle each other and adjust to their families' reconfigurations."--Publishers Weekly

Download or read book Masonry Heaters written by Ken Matesz and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masonry Heaters is a complete guide to designing and living with one of the oldest, and yet one of the newest, heating devices. A masonry heater’s design, placement in the home, and luxurious radiant heat redefine the hearth for the modern era, turning it into a piece of the sun right inside the home. Like the feeling one gets from the sun on a spring day, the environment around a masonry heater feels fresh. The radiant heat feels better on the skin. It warms the home both gently and efficiently. In fact, the value of a masonry heater lies in its durability, quality, serviceability, dependability, and health-supporting features. And it is an investment in self-sufficiency and freedom from fossil fuels. The book discusses different masonry heater designs, including variations extant in Europe, and explains the growth of their popularity in the United States beginning in the late 1970s. For the reader who may be familiar only with open fireplaces and metal woodstoves, Masonry Heaters will bring a new understanding and appreciation of massive heat storage and gentle-but-persistent radiant heat. Masonry heaters offer a unique comfort that is superior to that from convection heat from forced-air systems, and more personal than that offered by “radiant” floors. As Matesz demonstrates, the heat from the sun or from a masonry heater is genuine heat instead of just insulation against the loss of heat. Those who are looking to build, add onto, or remodel a house will find comprehensive and practical advice for designing and installing a masonry heater, including detailed discussion of materials, code considerations, and many photos and illustrations. While this is not a do-it-yourself guide for building a masonry heater, it provides facts every heater builder should know. Professional contractors will find this a useful tool to consult, and homeowners considering a new method of home heating will find all they need to know about masonry heaters within these pages.
Download or read book A Baby for Albie written by Mandy Greenwood and published by NaomiAoki. This book was released on 2023-10-23 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albie had thought pregnancy was an impossibility. Not something he’d ever experience while sleeping with a dhampyre—a turned human male. Yet Albie’s newfound friendship with the porcelain in the bathroom couldn’t be denied. But how could a millennium of history be wrong? Except reality suggested otherwise. And then there was the matter which they’d both chosen to ignore. Dominic had looked forward to his brief respite from his undercover mission. Looked forward to resolving an issue that he and Albie had danced around for months. They both knew it, but neither wanted to admit that their relationship wasn’t casual because the Fates had chosen them for each other. Except this had to be a joke. Did Albie honestly believe that he could stand there with his swollen belly and claim the child was Dominic’s? But sometimes there was a hidden truth lying beneath the fairy tales read to children. A Baby for Albie is a paranormal mpreg novella featuring a vampire too stubborn to do it alone, and a dhampyre too stuck in the pages of history to realise the truth. And when they’re not fighting with Fate, they’re fighting to keep the city of Silverdale safe from their enemies. Second Edition. Previously published under the series title Silverdale Coven.
