Download or read book The Latehomecomer written by Kao Kalia Yang and published by Coffee House Press. This book was released on 2010-12-15 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In search of a place to call home, thousands of Hmong families made the journey from the war-torn jungles of Laos to the overcrowded refugee camps of Thailand and onward to America. But lacking a written language of their own, the Hmong experience has been primarily recorded by others. Driven to tell her family’s story after her grandmother’s death, The Latehomecomer is Kao Kalia Yang’s tribute to the remarkable woman whose spirit held them all together. It is also an eloquent, firsthand account of a people who have worked hard to make their voices heard. Beginning in the 1970s, as the Hmong were being massacred for their collaboration with the United States during the Vietnam War, Yang recounts the harrowing story of her family’s captivity, the daring rescue undertaken by her father and uncles, and their narrow escape into Thailand where Yang was born in the Ban Vinai Refugee Camp. When she was six years old, Yang’s family immigrated to America, and she evocatively captures the challenges of adapting to a new place and a new language. Through her words, the dreams, wisdom, and traditions passed down from her grandmother and shared by an entire community have finally found a voice. Together with her sister, Kao Kalia Yang is the founder of a company dedicated to helping immigrants with writing, translating, and business services. A graduate of Carleton College and Columbia University, Yang has recently screened The Place Where We Were Born, a film documenting the experiences of Hmong American refugees.

Book excerpt: Her heart was thudding in her chest. She was afraid it rocked so hard acand loud that it would betray her hiding spot. She was crouched behind the back of the fountain, out of sight, she hoped, from the snarling, raging giant that stormed the courtyard. She could even feel the massive stones of the wall she was wedged against jolt and shift with each impact of her father's fist or foot. The sounds were the worst. They always were—the screams, the noise of breaking, tearing flesh. "Amah! Amah!" the voiceless words repeated in her mind. "Amah!" When the earth was new, young Lelah, part human and a granddaughter of the chief Watcher Samjaza, struggles with prejudice and hatred, life, love, and forgiveness. Her life and the lives of her loved ones become entwined with unlikely deliverers. Her mother is delivered from slavery and she from something far worse. Enter the Antediluvian world where "the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful, and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose," the life spans are ten times those of modern times, great beasts roam the earth, and where, as in every time, battles are not merely physical, but spiritual as well. Will Lelah learn to turn her hatred over to the only One who can forgive her? Find out in Reign of the Watchers.

Book excerpt: Sorry to whoever wrote the scripts for the fairytales I grew up watching in movies as a kid, but bro, you got it all wrong. Fabulous, floor-length gowns and fairy godmothers don’t appear out of nowhere, promising to fix your problems when you’re at your lowest, crying on a bench in a torn dress. Random animals have never cleaned anything I’ve ever owned, and though I would bend over backward to have a pet dragon that breathes fire, the best I can hope for is a small bearded dragon. Knights in shining armor can be real, but they don’t just appear out of nowhere, either. They don’t ride in on a white horse, reaching a gloved hand down so they can whisk you away into the sunset. They drive up on Harleys, hand you a helmet, tell you to hold on tight, and f*ck your world up in the best way possible. Too bad I had to go through a certified villain before I learned this… before I finally woke up to reality.

Download or read book Leveraging written by David M. Anderson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-04 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the current domestic and global political and economic landscape and will show that there are three different but related kinds of leverage that together have emerged as the dominant strategy in economics, politics and international relations. The economic crisis of 2008-09 was called by most economists a crisis of “over-leverage.” Yet no one has argued that there has also been a leverage crisis or at least a “leverage challenge,” in other aspects of life. The This book argues that there is a “leverage mean” in between the extremes of too little leverage and too much leverage that provides the basis for resolving the various crises and challenges. This book, which grows out of a Brookings Institution paper “The Age of Leverage,” will analyze bargaining leverage, resource leverage and economic investment leverage and should draw the attention of students and teachers in political and economic philosophy.

Download or read book Legal Writing in Plain English written by Bryan A. Garner and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-08-26 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This easy-to-follow guide is useful both as a general course of instruction and as a targeted aid in solving particular legal writing problems.” —Harvard Law Review Clear, concise, down-to-earth, and powerful—all too often, legal writing embodies none of these qualities. Its reputation for obscurity and needless legalese is widespread. For more than twenty years, Bryan A. Garner’s Legal Writing in Plain English has helped address this problem by providing lawyers, judges, paralegals, law students, and legal scholars with sound advice and practical tools for improving their written work. The leading guide to clear writing in the field, this indispensable volume encourages legal writers to challenge conventions and offers valuable insights into the writing process that will appeal to other professionals: how to organize ideas, create and refine prose, and improve editing skills. Accessible and witty, Legal Writing in Plain English draws on real-life writing samples that Garner has gathered through decades of teaching. Trenchant advice covers all types of legal materials, from analytical and persuasive writing to legal drafting, and the book’s principles are reinforced by sets of basic, intermediate, and advanced exercises in each section. In this new edition, Garner preserves the successful structure of the original while adjusting the content to make it even more classroom-friendly. He includes case examples from the past decade and addresses the widespread use of legal documents in electronic formats. His book remains the standard guide for producing the jargon-free language that clients demand and courts reward. “Those who are willing to approach the book systematically and to complete the exercises will see dramatic improvements in their writing.” —Law Library Journal
