Download or read book Life s Lessons written by Jay Thomas Willis and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In going through life one learns many of life’s lessons. This book points out some of the lessons the author has learned. He also gives some of his personal thoughts and ideas. The author begins his life on a small-dirt farm in East Texas, plowing a mule from sunup to sunset: he then receives an inadequate education from a rural-all-Black school, where he was neglected and abused; after which, he goes to college in East Texas, where he was out of place; later to the military; back to graduate school in Houston; and then settles in a South Suburb of Chicago, where he experienced cultural shock. These sayings, personal thoughts, and ideas are derived from his seventy-three years of experience.
Download or read book Into the Cosmos written by James T. Andrews and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2011-09-25 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The launch of the Sputnik satellite in October 1957 changed the course of human history. In the span of a few years, Soviets sent the first animal into space, the first man, and the first woman. These events were a direct challenge to the United States and the capitalist model that claimed ownership of scientific aspiration and achievement. The success of the space program captured the hopes and dreams of nearly every Soviet citizen and became a critical cultural vehicle in the country's emergence from Stalinism and the devastation of World War II. It also proved to be an invaluable tool in a worldwide propaganda campaign for socialism, a political system that could now seemingly accomplish anything it set its mind to. Into the Cosmos shows us the fascinating interplay of Soviet politics, science, and culture during the Khrushchev era, and how the space program became a binding force between these elements. The chapters examine the ill-fitted use of cosmonauts as propaganda props, the manipulation of gender politics after Valentina Tereshkova's flight, and the use of public interest in cosmology as a tool for promoting atheism. Other chapters explore the dichotomy of promoting the space program while maintaining extreme secrecy over its operations, space animals as media darlings, the history of Russian space culture, and the popularity of space-themed memorabilia that celebrated Soviet achievement and planted the seeds of consumerism.

But one day, they've both gained mysterious markings on their arms and the ability to talk to animals. They soon discover that they were raised in the human world for their safety and that their parents have been hiding a dangerous secret from them. When mutant animals destroy their home and kidnap their parents, they enter a mysterious hidden world full of talking animals and wereanimals--a race that has the ability to communicate with animals and shape shift into them. Harriet and Harper soon learn that they and their parents are wereanimals and they also learn more about the three kingdoms: the Dog Kingdom, the Cat Kingdom, and the Bird Kingdom. However, there are ruthless people in the wereanimal world called chimeras, which are a race of animallike people whose main goal is to create more mutant animals and take over the three kingdoms. To prevent that from happening, Harriet and Harper need to learn more about the wereanimal world, travel across the Wereanimal Kingdoms, and gather their most powerful items--the Dog's Paw, the Cat's Claw, and the Bird's Talon--and combine it with the Chimera's Staff to wipe them out forever. The twins know that this will be a difficult task, but during their time in the wereanimal world, they enroll in the WAR--a military boarding school that teaches them about the wereanimal world. They meet Mabel, Jayden, and Lago at the WAR and team up together. With their new friends, knowledge of their new environment, and the Chimera's Staff in their possession, they go on a mission to unite the three kingdoms' most powerful items to save the Wereanimal Kingdoms and rescue their parents.

Download or read book Sandra Beck written by John Lavery and published by House of Anansi. This book was released on 2010 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No writer in Canada today is more in love with the English, and French, languages than John Lavery. That love is gloriously requited. In inventive, incantatory prose, Sandra Beck, his long-awaited first novel, paints a very unusual portrait of a lady. This is a book about many things: the struggling antics of adolescence, the banal delusions of solitude, the city of Montreal. But it is, above all, a deeply moving tribute to a woman who is both present and absent on every page. Who is Sandra Beck? She is a mother, a wife, a musician, a manager; but, too, she is the ghost in the seat behind us, always just outside the edges of easy description. Her story is told in the voices of others - namely, her daughter, the wordstruck and lovestruck Josee and her husband, the police chief and TV personality P. F. Bastarache. In a book that embraces paradox and defies the expected limits of what a novel can do, language is at once a gleeful celebration and a crutch, a trick. Despite their keen investigative powers, the "testimony" of Josee and her father is often untrustworthy, even contradictory: self-interest hobbles their understanding. Sandra herself becomes a crutch for them both - a crutch they must learn to live without.
