Download or read book Brooklyn Birth written by F. Anthony D'Alessandro and published by . This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I tapped my fingers rhythmically as I waited my turn to speak at Dr. Ray Heitzman''s annual writers' conference at Villanova University. The speaker behind the podium captivated me when talking about the legacy of his writing. To paraphrase him, he noted that when he was gone, he did not want children, grandchildren, loved ones, friends and others interested in him or his body of work, to waste time and energy trying to find him in a stone-filled memorial park. If they wanted to find him, he suggested that they rummage his writings, both published and unpublished. Those words provoked me to write this book filled with my poetry. So many of my ideas had been securely folded up and stored away in the caverns of my mind or in dust-filled garages, trapped in sealed and taped boxes. The time had come to unwrap this patch quilt of rich and warm experiences, and deliver them to sunlight to be shared with others. They are now nestled within the bindings of this book. Anytime any of my loved ones wants to find me, whether I'm around here or elsewhere, all they need do is to arrange a rendezvous with my writings. I am grateful to that Villanova speaker for inadvertently influencing me to complete this heartfelt project. All writers live eternally in their words, whether or not they are published. The poetry in this book presents a verbal canvas of my days, from my preteen days spent on commercial fishing boats with earthy Sicilian fishermen, to late night summer stickball games on steamy Brooklyn streets, to waffle Wednesday dining with elementary school friends, and to savory spaghetti Sundays surrounded by tasty food and a most wonderful, caring, and generous family. This verbal travelogue captures the discovery of my one and only romantic dream love, the breathtaking and exciting births of each and every one of my children and grandchildren, and it chronicles the joy and lessons that I've learned from thousands of students and teachers that I was blessed to have taught and trained. Brooklyn Birth: Sicilian Soul captures the winding and wondrous journey and essence of this humble writer.

Download or read book The Cot in the Living Room written by Hilda Eunice Burgos and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young Dominican American girl in New York City moves from jealousy to empathy as her parents babysit children whose families work overnight shifts in this honest and warm picture book debut. Night after night, a young girl watches her mami set up a cot in the living room for guests in their Washington Heights apartment, like Raquel (who's boring) and Edgardo (who gets crumbs everywhere). She resents that they get the entire living room with a view of the George Washington Bridge, while all she gets is a tiny bedroom with a view of her sister (who snores). Until one night when no one comes, and it's finally her chance! But as it turns out, sleeping on the cot in the living room isn't all she thought it would be. With charming text by Hilda Eunice Burgos and whimsical illustrations by Gaby D'Alessandro, The Cot in the Living Room is a celebration of the ways a Dominican American community takes care of one another while showing young readers that sometimes the best way to be a better neighbor is by imagining how it feels to spend a night sleeping on someone else's pillow.

Download or read book The Killer Across the Table written by John E. Douglas and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legendary FBI criminal profiler, number-one New York Times bestselling author, and inspiration for the hit Netflix show Mindhunter delves deep into the lives and crimes of four of the most disturbing and complex predatory killers, offering never-before-revealed details about his profiling process, and divulging the strategies used to crack some of America’s most challenging cases. The FBI’s pioneer of criminal profiling, former special agent John Douglas, has studied and interviewed many of America’s most notorious killers—including Charles Manson, ”Son of Sam Killer” David Berkowitz and ”BTK Strangler” Dennis Rader—trained FBI agents and investigators around and the world, and helped educate the country about these deadly predators and how they operate, and has become a legend in popular culture, fictionalized in The Silence of the Lambs and the hit television shows Criminal Minds and Mindhunter. Twenty years after his famous memoir, the man who literally wrote the book on FBI criminal profiling opens his case files once again. In this riveting work of true crime, he spotlights four of the most diabolical criminals he’s confronted, interviewed and learned from. Going deep into each man’s life and crimes, he outlines the factors that led them to murder and how he used his interrogation skills to expose their means, motives, and true evil. Like the hit Netflix show, The Killer Across the Table is centered around Douglas’ unique interrogation and profiling process. With his longtime collaborator Mark Olshaker, Douglas recounts the chilling encounters with these four killers as he experienced them—revealing for the first time his profile methods in detail. Going step by step through his interviews, Douglas explains how he connects each killer’s crimes to the specific conversation, and contrasts these encounters with those of other deadly criminals to show what he learns from each one. In the process, he returns to other famous cases, killers and interviews that have shaped his career, describing how the knowledge he gained from those exchanges helped prepare him for these. A glimpse into the mind of a man who has pierced the heart of human darkness, The Killer Across the Table unlocks the ultimate mystery of depravity and the techniques and approaches that have countered evil in the name of justice.
Download or read book Stanley Kubrick and Me written by Emilio D'Alessandro and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This intimate portrait by his former personal assistant and confidante reveals the man behind the legendary filmmaker—for the first time. Stanley Kubrick, the director of a string of timeless movies from Lolita and Dr. Strangelove to A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Full Metal Jacket, and others, has always been depicted by the media as the Howard Hughes of filmmakers, a weird artist obsessed with his work and privacy to the point of madness. But who was he really? Emilio D'Alessandro lets us see. A former Formula Ford driver who was a minicab chauffeur in London during the Swinging Sixties, he took a job driving a giant phallus through the city that became his introduction to the director. Honest, reliable, and ready to take on any task, Emilio found his way into Kubrick's neurotic, obsessive heart. He became his personal assistant, his right-hand man and confidant, working for him from A Clockwork Orange until Kubrick's death in 1999. Emilio was the silent guy in the room when the script for The Shining was discussed. He still has the coat Jack Nicholson used in the movie. He was an extra on the set of Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick's last movie. He knew all the actors and producers Kubrick worked with; he observed firsthand Kubrick's working methods down to the smallest detail. Making no claim of expertise in cinematography but with plenty of anecdotes, he offers a completely fresh perspective on the artist and a warm, affecting portrait of a generous, kind, caring man who was a perfectionist in work and life.

Download or read book Developmental Neuropsychology written by Vicki Anderson and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses key issues in child neuropsychology but differs from other books in the field in its emphasis on clinical practice rather than research issues. Although research findings are presented, they are described with emphasis on what is relevant for assessment, treatment and management of pediatric conditions. The authors have chosen to focus on a number of areas. First, the text examines the natural history of childhood CNS insult, highlighting studies where children have been followed over time to determine the impact of injury on ongoing development. Second, processes of normal and abnormal cerebral and cognitive development are outlined and the concepts of brain plasticity and the impact of early CNS insult discussed. Finally, using a number of common childhood CNS disorders as examples, the authors develop a model which describes the complex interaction among biological, psychosocial and cognitive factors in the brain injured child. The text will be of use on advanced undergraduate courses in developmental neuropsychology, postgraduate clinical training programmes, and for professionals working with children in clinical psychology, clinical neuropsychology, and in educational and rehabilitation contexts.
