Download or read book The Hood written by Quietstrength and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This marvelous autobiography chronicles the unbelievable life of its author from his troubled childhood in Scotland through his glorious golden years in Whistler to his traumatic fall from grace in Vancouver, Canada. This magnificent manuscript is a true, factual real-life story that highlights and challenges pretty much everything we all take for granted in our modern lifestyles. Through his incredible journey, the author not only gives a blow-by-blow narrative of his roller-coaster life but also, from these experiences, presents a whole different perspective on this thing we all call life. It really is an astonishing story that the very few that have heard it compelled him to write as it could not only become an inspirational self-help book for those experiencing similar struggles in their own life but also a drastic warning of what can really happen in a heartbeat to anyone, anywhere, anytime on this planet we call home. Put simply, this is a phenomenal must-read autobiography novel that no matter who you are—male or female, rich or poor, sick or healthy, CEO or garbage collector—yes, everyone should read. From his genuinely sensational life story, Andrew explores the very core of our civilization and presents a very different perspective on what we all now use as measures of success like power, wealth, must-have toys, etc. His trials and tribulations, that simply have to be read to be believed, offer a very different alternative course for humanity to gain what we all privately seek deep down inside us all, namely acceptance, friendship, confidence, faith, hope, true happiness, and pure love, which in reality fly in the face of the more materialistic goals. But rather than being some naive, idealistic, ivory tower novel, everything is based on the real world. It is truly a monumental masterpiece that even the Hollywood scriptwriters would have a hard time of dreaming up. A truly wonderful book for the ages, and if it doesn’t change the world, it might just change your world.

Download or read book Epic Stories written by Mirela Roznoveanu and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-06-21 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the human being duty and what is the source of my restlessness, of my metaphysical impatience? Could it be that exile has made me a woman of no fixed abode? These questions are coming from a woman with hybrid origins who lived in a communist dictatorship country; fought injustice and censorship and was punished by the secret police; was involved in Romania’s 1989 Revolution; witnessed the post-communist nomenclature and secret police stealing back the country; wrote the history of the world fiction, a comparative study in Romanian; at the age of 44 she left both her home and her language behind and settled into the US and into English as she saw herself as an exile not just from her country but from her mother tongue too; founded GlobaLex, an iconic research tool, at the NYU School of Law Hauser Global Program; and has collected multiple honors in Romania and in the US, including Romania’s Officer of the National Order for Faithful Service. She uses her European literary references as an enhancement for her range of American tonalities. The daughter of Hrisula Limona, a woman belonging to an ancient Armân/Vlach clan from the Pindus Mountains, and Iancu Roznowski, of Polish descent, whose ancestors once lived at the Imperial Court of Habsburgs in Vienna, Mirela Roznoveanu was born on April 10, 1947 in the Kingdom of Romania. A few months later (December 1947) the Communists forced Romania’s King to abdicate and the country surrendered to the Communist USSR. Mirela lives in many languages at once and multiple expressions of literary forms. She is a cosmopolitan writer. Her slogan is “I am curious therefore I am”. For Mirela forgetting is an impossible task and she turns this inability into memorable stories. Her knowledge of philosophy, fiction writing, literary criticism and theory is endlessly rich. Mirela is not only a literary critic, novelist, and a poet but also a journalist and an intellectual with an incisive intelligence and a great sense of social justice. Epic Stories gathers for the first time under the same covers all Mirela Roznoveanu’s literary voices from poetry and literary criticism to journalism, fiction, and travel writing. The reader becomes a witness and a participant into the making of a new life in exile and of the transformation of a foreign language into one that becomes part of the writer’s native language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combat Engineer, Pacific Theater looks at the daily lives of ordinary young men who found themselves with a unique job to do at an extraordinary time and place in history. It tells the mostly untold story of the armys combat engineering battalions in the Pacific in World War II. As their name implies, the role of these soldiers was unique. They were trained both in construction and in combat, and were called upon to do both. With every step of the way contested, their job was to build an infrastructure for crossing the worlds biggest ocean, to take the fight to an implacable enemy where he lived. The focus is the experiences of the men in the ranks of the Thirty-Fourth Engineer Combat Battalion. Part of the Armys Twenty-Seventh Infantry Division, the battalion participated in two of the three largest and bloodiest amphibious assaults in military history, those of Saipan and Okinawa.

Download or read book Valerius Flaccus and Imperial Latin Epic written by Stover and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length study of the reception of Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica in the epic poems of Silius Italicus (Punica), Statius (Thebaid, Achilleid), and Claudian (De Raptu Proserpinae). It sheds new light on the importance of Valerius' poem and enhances our understanding of the intertextual richness of imperial Latin epic. The readings offered in this book provide new evidence to support the view that Valerius' Argonautica predates the Punica and Thebaid, thus helping to clarify the literary history of the Flavian period (69-96 CE). Stover shows how Silius, Statius, and Claudian use programmatic allusion to the Argonautica to present themselves as Valerius' epic successors. Silius, Statius, and Claudian rework Valerian material to achieve various effects; analysis of these effects is organized by the primary function of allusive interactions, such as 'reversal', 'enrichment', and 'contrast'. This study is essential for scholars of Latin epic poetry. Yet the Greek and Latin of its close readings are translated, making it accessible to all readers interested in intertextuality, comparative literature, and other related topics.

Download or read book Epic Rivalry written by Von Hardesty and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2007-09-18 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon in 1969, they personified an almost unimaginable feat—the incredibly complex task of sending humans safely to another celestial body. This extraordinary odyssey, which grew from the rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, was galvanized by the Sputnik launch in 1957. To mark the fiftieth anniversary of Sputnik, National Geographic recaptures this gripping moment in the human experience with a lively and compelling new account. Written by Smithsonian curator Von Hardesty and researcher Gene Eisman, Epic Rivalry tells the story from both the American and the Russian points of view, and shows how each space-faring nation played a vital role in stimulating the work of the other. Scores of rare, unpublished, and powerful photographs recall the urgency and technical creativity of both nations' efforts. The authors recreate in vivid detail the "parallel universes" of the two space exploration programs, with visionaries Wernher von Braun and Sergei Korolev and political leaders John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev at the epicenters. The conflict between countries, and the tense drama of their independent progress, unfolds in vivid prose. Approaching its subject from a uniquely balanced perspective, this important new narrative chronicles the epic race to the moon and back as it has never been told before—and captures the interest of casual browsers and science, space, and history enthusiasts alike.

There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say.

Download or read book Think Black written by Clyde W. Ford and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Powerful memoir. . .Ford’s thought-provoking narrative tells the story of African-American pride and perseverance.” –Publisher’s Weekly (Starred) “A masterful storyteller, Ford interweaves his personal story with the backdrop of the social movements unfolding at that time, providing a revealing insider’s view of the tech industry. . . simultaneously informative and entertaining. . . A powerful, engrossing look at race and technology.” –Kirkus Review (Starred) In this thought-provoking and heartbreaking memoir, an award-winning writer tells the story of his father, John Stanley Ford, the first black software engineer at IBM, revealing how racism insidiously affected his father’s view of himself and their relationship. In 1947, Thomas J. Watson set out to find the best and brightest minds for IBM. At City College he met young accounting student John Stanley Ford and hired him to become IBM’s first black software engineer. But not all of the company’s white employees refused to accept a black colleague and did everything in their power to humiliate, subvert, and undermine Ford. Yet Ford would not quit. Viewing the job as the opportunity of a lifetime, he comported himself with dignity and professionalism, and relied on his community and his "street smarts" to succeed. He did not know that his hiring was meant to distract from IBM’s dubious business practices, including its involvement in the Holocaust, eugenics, and apartheid. While Ford remained at IBM, it came at great emotional cost to himself and his family, especially his son Clyde. Overlooked for promotions he deserved, the embittered Ford began blaming his fate on his skin color and the notion that darker-skinned people like him were less intelligent and less capable—beliefs that painfully divided him and Clyde, who followed him to IBM two decades later. From his first day of work—with his wide-lapelled suit, bright red turtleneck, and huge afro—Clyde made clear he was different. Only IBM hadn’t changed. As he, too, experienced the same institutional racism, Clyde began to better understand the subtle yet daring ways his father had fought back.

Download or read book Liberty Epic of Shadows written by L. A. Espriux and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberty Epic of Shadows interweaves shades of the past, present, and future into a dynamic tapestry designed on global scale that spans centuries through a trail of human history beginning with the discovery of a New World. What is the connection between the rebirth of the Holy Roman Empire during the dynastic reign of the Spanish Hapsburgs and a small cotton mill town in twentieth century post industrial south? What is the lost meaning of Xeantee Aconee left behind by an obscure North American tribe of Indians and a present day monster named Westbaily? Are both fiendish embodiments of imminent judgment or messenger angels of deliverance? To the locals of 1960 Viet Nam era America, Liberty Swamp is a place laced with unknown dangers, manifesting imagined terror of life's inevitability, a place avoided through slumbered existence. But this epic is not just about fallen dynasties, repetitious wars, or chimeras of shadow. It weaves the mortal fabric of human experience into a lattice of concentric patterns that never really change. It unveils the defined origin of evil in human desire by comparing gifts from Mammon forged of weaker elements to the essence of things made from eternal substance provided by the architect of creation in the fullness of every season. At the twilight of his days, a man named David, reluctantly made a king of Israel, stands humble before the twelve tribes. This after the siege of Jesus, declared Jerusalem, a city dedicated to the God of Covenant, he bows his head and blesses the Lord of heaven and earth: "Both riches and honor come of thee, and thou reigns over all; and in your hand is power and might; and in your hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? For all things come from you and of your own have we given thee. For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding." 1 chronicles chapter 29 Verses 12-15
