Download or read book Letitia Baldrige s New Manners for New Times written by Letitia Baldrige and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-11-24 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO MANNERS, REVISED AND UPDATED TO ACCOMODATE TODAY'S HIGH-SPEED LIFESTYLES, SHIFTING VALUES, AND EVER-EVOLVING DEFINITION OF FAMILY. Letitia Baldrige is universally recognized as the country's leading authority on executive, domestic, and social manners. She began writing on manners and protocol during her diplomatic service in 1949, and she has been hailed on the cover of Time magazine as "America's leading arbiter of manners." Originally published in 1989, her Complete Guide to New Manners has now been thoroughly revised and updated to incorporate the changing social conventions and enormous technological advances of the past fifteen years. Baldrige was the first etiquette writer to advise extensively on the subject of manners in the workplace. With her legendary background in both the government and business worlds, she remains the prime authority on the integration of goals that often seem at odds with one another -- namely, family, work, and pleasure. Baldrige provides fresh guidelines on etiquette at work and in every form of communication, from letters to emails to cell phone calls. She also updates the way we approach the traditional rites of passage -- weddings, funerals, religious ceremonies, gatherings large and small. Here are authoritative answers to the etiquette questions and issues involved in nontraditional family relationships -- stepfamilies, adult children returning home, elderly parents moving in, gays and lesbians in the family, dating for the newly single, and the myriad complications that spring from divorce. Through it all, Baldrige does not forget the essence of manners: they are an expression of love and care, and they are under our control. New Manners for New Times is a comprehensive encyclopedia that will lead readers confidently and correctly through the maze of lifestyles, customs, business, and ways of relating to others in this new, complex millennium. But it is, above all, a very personal statement.

Book excerpt: Edith Gwendolyn Barrington entered the world on All Fools' Day, 1865. She grew into a beautiful woman, haughty and unapproachable. In spite of this, she undertook marriage several times, but her husbands had the unhappy knack of dying on her. Was she a serial killer or merely a victim of circumstance? Why had this aloof lady consented to enter wedlock so willingly and so often? Inspector Dufret of the Metropolitan police is unsure, and unsuccessfully attempts to have the bodies of the deceased exhumed. A year later, Edith issues a curse before she dies, which is carried down through the generations. It is now 1959, and a series of murders in close proximity to Lincoln have occurred which seem to be the acts of a serial killer. Superintendent Robert Dale and his assistant, Detective Sergeant David Kingston, of the Murder Squad, are sent to Lincoln to try and prevent the continuing slaughter of local residents. They arrest a likely suspect who, under hypnosis, claims to be the reincarnation of the late Edith Gwendolyn Barrington, who has returned to exact vengeance on such persons directly related to those who had wronged her during her previous lifetime. The killing doesn't stop upon the arrest, however, and the final solution to the case rests on whether one believes in ghosts and reincarnation. Alex Binney's psychological thriller will have you on the edge of your seats...

Download or read book The Deepest Peace written by Zenju Earthlyn Manuel and published by Parallax Press. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautiful glimpse into the mind of a modern Zen priest shows us how we can cultivate and experience peace through silence, stillness, and practice. “A balm for our troubled hearts and minds . . . soulful, warm, and welcoming, and—at times—heartbreaking.” —Lion's Roar While there is suffering in the world and in each of us, there is also the possibility and the experience of peace. As Zenju Earthlyn Manuel—a Zen priest and disciple of Thich Nhat Hanh who has written at length on race, gender, sexual orientation, and homelessness—writes in the introduction: “I have testified many times of my suffering. Before I die, I must speak of peace.” The Deepest Peace is a poetic, lyrical ode to the ways contemplative practice illuminates daily life. It is at once a window into Zenju’s personal practice and an invitation to begin our own.

Download or read book Provincial Lives written by Timothy R. Mahoney and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-01-28 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provincial Lives tells the story of the development of a regional middle class in the antebellum Middle West. It traces the efforts of waves of Americans to transmit their social structures, behavior, and values to the West and construct a distinctive regional middle-class culture on the urban frontier. Intertwining local, regional, and national history with social, immigration, gender and urban history, Mahoney examines how a succession of settlers from "good" society--farmers, entrepreneurs, professionals, and "genteel" men and women from the urban East--interacted with, accommodated, and compromised with those already there to construct a middle-class society.
