Download or read book Where the Wolf written by Sally Rosen Kindred and published by Diode Editions. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sally Rosen Kindred’s third book, Where the Wolf, is a wood where a girl-turned-woman, a daughter-turned-mother, goes walking, searching for the warm fur, the hackles and hurts—past and future—inside her. These poems explore how stories—fairy tales, family memories, myths, and dreams—tell us, and let us tell each other, who we are, and what’s wild and sacred in our connections. From “the beast your mother made/ who scans hood and bed,” to the ghost-guard summoned by a child on the night her family fractures, to the teenage son who transforms into “beauty, his dread-body,” the beings in these poems are themselves stories, spells: alchemized through language, always becoming, bearing hope and loss. They fragment in anxiety, and form into new wilderness. They open themselves to reconstruction, redemption. Through it all, “Wolf is the ghost of a hurt remembering itself. Is She. You can hear Her between trees.” These poems are a calling out—through meadows, emptied houses, dark skies—to wolf and self, parent and child, girl and woman, love and grief.
Download or read book Home to Roost written by Bob Sheasley and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2008-07-08 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each day, Bob Sheasley leaves Lilyfield Farm and heads into the city. And each day, he brings along a basket of eggs for his coworkers at The Philadelphia Inquirer. Depending on the breed of hen, these eggs may be white, green, rose, blue, or as brown as chocolate. And they are all deliciously fresh, a taste of the rural way of life that people have enjoyed for millennia, one in which chickens have played a supporting role for nearly as long. In Home to Roost, Sheasley tells of the intertwined relationship between humans and chickens. He delves into where chickens came from, what their DNA tells us about our kinship, how we’ve treated our feathered fellow travelers, and the roads we’re crossing together. This is a story of agriculture and human migration, of folk medicine and technology, of how we dreamed of the good life, threw it away, and want it back. Modern farming has changed the lives of both bird and man over the past century. But backyard farmers like Sheasley offer hope for a return to the pleasures of locally grown food, as diverse as the chickens he’s raised on Lilyfield Farm. With wit and personal insight, Home to Roost examines of how our lives can be changed for the better, with something as simple as a backyard coop.

Download or read book Mein Kampf written by Adolf Hitler and published by ببلومانيا للنشر والتوزيع. This book was released on 2024-02-26 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Madman, tyrant, animal—history has given Adolf Hitler many names. In Mein Kampf (My Struggle), often called the Nazi bible, Hitler describes his life, frustrations, ideals, and dreams. Born to an impoverished couple in a small town in Austria, the young Adolf grew up with the fervent desire to become a painter. The death of his parents and outright rejection from art schools in Vienna forced him into underpaid work as a laborer. During the First World War, Hitler served in the infantry and was decorated for bravery. After the war, he became actively involved with socialist political groups and quickly rose to power, establishing himself as Chairman of the National Socialist German Worker's party. In 1924, Hitler led a coalition of nationalist groups in a bid to overthrow the Bavarian government in Munich. The infamous Munich "Beer-hall putsch" was unsuccessful, and Hitler was arrested. During the nine months he was in prison, an embittered and frustrated Hitler dictated a personal manifesto to his loyal follower Rudolph Hess. He vented his sentiments against communism and the Jewish people in this document, which was to become Mein Kampf, the controversial book that is seen as the blue-print for Hitler's political and military campaign. In Mein Kampf, Hitler describes his strategy for rebuilding Germany and conquering Europe. It is a glimpse into the mind of a man who destabilized world peace and pursued the genocide now known as the Holocaust.
Download or read book God s Person and Eternal Plan written by Fred Beck and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because the book is based on selected stories from the entire Bible, readers discover many insights of the person of God and how He patiently and lovingly works in and through His people. Moses asked God, "Show me Your Glory." So the Lord, concealed by a cloud. passed by Moses and revealed His moral attributes--holy, righteous, compassionate, gracious, and abounding in loving kindness and truth (integrity to His own moral character). God also forgives iniquity (perversity), transgression (rebellion against God and His morals), God forgives sin (missing the target God sets for us). God is slow to anger, yet He will punish the guilty (those who refuse to repent and to acknowledge Him as Savior and Lord). The author seeks to tell the stories in ways that are true to Scripture; all stories have many quotes from Scripture. The author also seeks to read between the lines and to reveal history, settings, beliefs, and emotions. Such things help anchor the stories to real life and enable readers relate God's stories to their own lives. While reading the OT stories, readers will experience "mini revelations," as God interacts with different people, situations, and cultures. Thus, readers are prepared for God's full revelation of Himself in Jesus. As readers enter the NT stories of Jesus, they grow close to Him. Then the crucifixion, resurrection and ascension of Jesus makes many ask, "What now?" Then the Holy Spirit bursts on the scene, just like Jesus promised. As readers continue through the stories of Acts and Apostles, they discover the spread of faith and the growth of the church. Those Bible stories become pieces of a big puzzle revealing the person of God and His eternal plan for us. That realization begins to take over the readers' hearts and minds. The author prays that this book will be discovered by Christians whose spiritual growth has been stopped due to their confusion and fear brought about by the growing culture of unbelief in our nation. The church is under siege across the world. However, God is God, and His word guarantees victory.
Download or read book The Book of the Damned written by Charles Fort and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Time travel, UFOs, mysterious planets, stigmata, rock-throwing poltergeists, huge footprints, bizarre rains of fish and frogs-nearly a century after Charles Fort's Book of the Damned was originally published, the strange phenomenon presented in this book remains largely unexplained by modern science. Through painstaking research and a witty, sarcastic style, Fort captures the imagination while exposing the flaws of popular scientific explanations. Virtually all of his material was compiled and documented from reports published in reputable journals, newspapers and periodicals because he was an avid collector. Charles Fort was somewhat of a recluse who spent most of his spare time researching these strange events and collected these reports from publications sent to him from around the globe. This was the first of a series of books he created on unusual and unexplained events and to this day it remains the most popular. If you agree that truth is often stranger than fiction, then this book is for you"--Taken from Good Reads website.
