Book Big Orange  Black Storm Clouds and More

Download or read book Big Orange Black Storm Clouds and More written by Ron Leadbetter and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadbetter's book offers behind-the-scenes information in a, here-to-fore, unpublished history from the Office of Associate General Counsel for the University of Tennessee. All events discussed come from his personal knowledge and years of meticious notetaking covering a period from 1967 to the present. The book, over 600 pages in length, takes readers through the years of his life that Leadbetter lived to the fullest. Beginning with his role as a student leader of conservative orientation during the tumultuous years of the late 1960s and early '70s, the book moves to Leadbetter's surprising hire by the University as its first law clerk in the Office of General Counsel, only days after completion of litigation brought against the University by Leadbetter to obtain in-state classification.

Book The Big Cloud

    Book Details:
  • Author : Camille Seaman
  • Publisher : Chronicle Books
  • Release : 2018-05-01
  • ISBN : 1616897228
  • Pages : 179 pages

Download or read book The Big Cloud written by Camille Seaman and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our culture is addicted to weather: hourly forecasts, apps, radio, TV channels, alerts, warnings, and watches. And understandably—our food, clothing, livelihoods, and, increasingly, safety are tied directly to the weather and climate change. In The Big Cloud, photographer Camille Seaman stands in front of tornados, at the edges of lightning storms, and in pelting hail under pitch-black skies to capture supercells and mammatus clouds in their often sublime and terrifying splendor. In these awe-inspiring photographs, Seaman's work is a potent reminder that there is no art more dramatic, in scale or emotion, than that created by nature. Big Cloud includes an introduction by award-winning New Yorker science writer and author Alan Burdick (Out of Eden, Why Time Flies).

Book Scientific Gestalt

  • Author : Ray Edwards
  • Publisher : AuthorHouse
  • Release : 2012-08-15
  • ISBN : 1477214194
  • Pages : 202 pages

Download or read book Scientific Gestalt written by Ray Edwards and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-08-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goldststein, Koffka, Khler, Lewin and Wertheimer were scientists who, at the turn of the 20th century, founded the gestalt approach in psychology. Fritz Perls (1944) recognized the potential of the gestalt approach in psychotherapy and founded what is now the widespread system of gestalt therapy. Perls understanding of gestalt theory was broadened by Zinker with recognition of stages of development of each gestalt so that what is now termed the Cleveland cycle of experience was recognized. Ray Edwards has proposed two innovations. First, it is shown that completion and grounding of the gestalt cycle of events facilitates re-energization of depressed people. Second, attention to Gendlins felt-senses, aided by use of David Groves clean subset of language, facilitates freeing post-trauma patients from the effect of recurrent nightmares and/or fl ash-backs. The relevant felt-senses are termed proto-fi gures and are usually phenomena like butterfl ies in the stomach, lumps in the stomach or throat and/or clouds are hanging over me. This present book sets these innovations in full historical context and reveals the gestalt system to be scientific in character. Malcolm Parlett, Ph,D. First Editor of the British Gestalt Journal commented on an earlier version of this book This is a thought-provoking read, a quirky and vividly argued alternative version of gestalt therapy that challenges most of the assumptions of contemporary Gestalt psychotherapy and will send many a reader fl ying to a computer to type a rebuttal. But Ray Edwards book is defi nitely worth a look at, not least for its acerbic criticisms and references to our past traditions. I recommend the self-published manuscript by an impressive maverick octagenarian gestalt thinker with strong opinions, complete with its copious spelling errors and other forgiveable selfi ndulgences.

Book The Paranormal Story of a Dying Soldier

Download or read book The Paranormal Story of a Dying Soldier written by Ruben Amaro Soriano and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jose Albino Lucio Amaro! A few minutes before his death, his grandson, a young doctor, called him by his name. Upon hearing it, the old man became confused and in his mind flashed the supernatural works of the gray and scaly angels of death he had seen lurking in the war eighty-three years ago, devouring dead French and Mexican soldiers. With these memories deeply etched in his mind, he had been preparing for death in the midtwentieth century. The somber sound of tolling bells from the atrium of Pueblas cathedral announced the death of a war hero and brought him memories of a distant day, May 5, 1862, when the tolling bells announced the commencement of the war. Without realizing that it was his grandson calling him, he cried out in response, Present, General Zaragoza! The voice of the old man quivered in the last breath of life that remained in him. He answered with the same or perhaps greater amount of ardor in his words when he uttered the same words on that unforgettable day of his youth when he was among those forming rows of thousands of peasant soldiers that comprised the disadvantaged Mexican army. All of them held rusting weapons and swore their allegiance to the motherland in front of the Mexican flag that quietly waved in the thin air of the morning inside the strongholds of Loreto and Guadalupe on that cloudy and gloomy Cinco de Mayo.

  • Author : Dennis Mersereau
  • Publisher : Mountaineers Books
  • Release : 2022-04-01
  • ISBN : 168051556X
  • Pages : 329 pages

Download or read book The Skies Above written by Dennis Mersereau and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Skies Above explains nearly any and everything weather-related...enlightening and a worthwhile source" -- Portland Book Review 2022 National Outdoor Book Award Silver Medalist in Nature/Environment Full-color photography and illustrations Details seasonal events, from Nor’easters and northern lights to fire whirls and tornadoes Sidebars dive into fascinating facts, quirky phenomena, historic weather events, myths, and more Written by self-professed weather geek Dennis Mersereau, The Skies Above is designed to inspire equal parts amazement and curiosity. Accessible science, illuminating illustrations, and stunning photography bring the meteorological world to life. From basics such as weather fronts and types of precipitation to more unusual occurrences like polar vortexes, meteor showers, solar eclipses, and the spectacular mammatus clouds that signify a supercell thunderstorm, Mersereau tracks key phenomena across the seasons and demystifies celestial events visible to the naked eye but still enigmatic to most. He also delves into how climate change affects weather, forecasts, and other events, such as devastating wildfires and historic hurricanes churning across the Atlantic Ocean. The Skies Above provides readers with a deeper understanding of the processes and events that fill our skies, which not only soothes the anxiety produced by raucous storms, but instills a stronger and more meaningful appreciation of the beauty of days both stormy and calm.

Book In the Footstep of the Buddha

Download or read book In the Footstep of the Buddha written by Ashvajit Dharmachari and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-08-13 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the footstep of the Buddha is a collection of letters written whilst the author was based in Sri Lanka from 1986-90. They describe the phenomenon of ethnic Buddhism, as witnessed during the author's visits to temples and forest hermitages and his meetings with monks, laymen and laywomen in town and country. We learn of the author's practicing and teaching the principles of individual spiritual evolution, and meet the flora and fauna of the lush tropical landscape. We catch occasional glimpses of the civil war that sorely troubled the Island during those years. The author also tells of his visits to India during the same period, and of the new Buddhist Movement unfolding there some forty years after the great Mass Conversion to Buddhism inaugurated by Dr Ambedkar in Nagpur in 1956.

Book Emerging from the Shadows

Download or read book Emerging from the Shadows written by Gregor Southard and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August of 2009, Gregor Southard was pulled aside by a Human Resources representative and told that the company he worked for was going in another direction. A career that spanned 18 years was suddenly over. Unable to find significant work in his field, things began to fall apart. By the fall of 2012, he found himself living in a house with no utilities (for eight months) after his life savings were exhausted. Finally, in the fall of 2013, he lost his house as well. This memoir is culled from blogs he wrote from May 2012 to October 2014. This book is not a How To book but a look at the process of finding peace in Christ after years of bitterness and despair. It is the authors hope that those who pick up this book will find comfort and clarity if they or someone they know is going through, or has gone through devastating circumstances in their own lives.

But . . . this attack was no accident. What exactly are the pirates looking for? Could it be Nadya they've been after all along? "Nadya Skylung is one smart, sassy, spitfire heroine with gills.

Book Just Doing My Job

Download or read book Just Doing My Job written by James Knight and published by Hachette Australia. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JUST DOING MY JOB is a journey into the lives of the men and women behind the uniform – the cops, firies and ambos. It is an exploration of humanity and the human spirit. Imagine what it must be like to attend a fatal accident in which you know the victim; or to pull a baby out of a fire who is dressed in the same style of pyjamas that your child wears; or to have to knock on a stranger’s door and tell a wife that her husband has been murdered, while in the background, her children are preparing for a slumber party. You may be called on to deliver a child or to help a family cope with the disappearance of a beloved son. At other times a day at work may find you chasing a naked man through a five-star resort; being escorted through a seedy establishment by a six-foot-four transvestite; or assisting a drunken woman who has somehow fallen into a shopping trolley and become stuck. Every day there is a possibility of being shot at, spat at, punched, verbally abused, or hugged and cheered ... The diversity of situations and emotions is surely as great as any person in any line of work ever experiences. JUST DOING MY JOB tells the stories of the unsung heroes of our emergency services. Those who are just doing their job, protecting us, saving us, serving us. Most of us see nothing more than the uniform. These are snapshots of lives and events that will give the reader a better understanding of the men and women behind the uniform.
