Download or read book Is This the Fun Part written by Wayne Berry and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is This The Fun Part?, is an anthology of seven short stories dealing with life and the many unexpected and often life altering events that seem to happen all too frequently. The title is tongue-in-cheek, in that life can frequently be less than fun. These stories portray many of these unfunny scenarios; adultery, betrayal, murder, isolation and obsession, with a few supernatural and science fiction twists just for fun. How will the discovery of an often life changing secret affect an unsuspecting young man? How will it change his life going forward? What will it take for a model son to come to grips with his own identity? Can he withstand the rigors of military service while repressing who he really is? How far can a stepmother push her stepson before he strikes back? Will a lifetime of being odd man out be the impetus for tragedy? Can an antique mirror hold the secret to happiness for a wealthy, reclusive, compulsive "junk" collector? How will advice from total strangers, and his departed mother, from within the mirror send love his way? Can an aging, heartbroken, ailing polio victim find healing from a very unlikely source? Can a lifetime of self imposed isolation after physical impairment, tragic loss and personal disappointment end on a high note? Could an unseen alien presence use one of the most warped of human minds to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting world? Could superstition be the cause of one's demise? Can belief make it so?

Download or read book Skip to the Fun Parts written by Dana Jeri Maier and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect companion for anyone struggling to keep their sense of humor while staring at a blank page, Skip to the Fun Parts offers next-to-zero creative advice, and is instead filled with cartoons, commiserations, and jokes about the creative process. Like you, syndicated cartoonist Dana Maier wants a creativity shortcut—a magical fairy who will both come up with brilliant ideas and grant the energy and discipline to churn them out. This book is not that magical shortcut—you won't find stirring literary quotes or a foolproof system for sparking inspiration here—but it does provide commiseration, comics, jokes, and reflections about the often-painful act of making something original. Drawing on her experience as a cartoonist for The New Yorker and other publications, Maier explores topics such as embracing the agony of the creative process, how the pandemic has affected creative people in different ways, and the power of channeling your inner six-year-old. While more traditional creativity guides often make readers feel judged, Skip to the Fun Parts offers amusing insights about the realities of the creative process—highly entertaining for artists of all kinds and 100% advice-free! "Of all the books I've ever read on the creative process (and I've read every one), this is by far the most useful, for its ability to remind me why we make art in the first place. I know I will turn to it again and again whenever I need to re-ignite the spark of childlike joy that fuels creativity." —Mari Andrew, New York Times bestselling author of Am I There Yet? and My Inner Sky "A funny, irreverent sendup of creative self-help and a comforting depiction of the agony and ecstasy in the creative process." —Austin Kleon, New York Times bestselling author of STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST

Ever since her intern season fifteen years ago, it's been nothing but early mornings, late nights, barely-dodged inappropriate advances, and relationships lost with boyfriends who didn't get it. That's why Poppy relies on the Women Against Groping Shitheads, a support network that knows her far better than her own family. In-house counsel for an NBA team, a celebrated reporter--all of the W.A.G.S. are high-ranking women in sports who need a release from the indignities and frustrations that come with navigating the ultimate boys’ club. But on the very same morning that Poppy’s legendary head coach is found dead in his home, five notes threatening tell the truth or pay the consequences hit the W.A.G.S. like 300-pound linemen. Who's aware of the little group they've tried their best to keep under wraps, and what reason would they have to threaten it? As long-buried secrets are brought to light, Poppy is forced to revisit a dangerous mistake from the start of her career that puts everything she's built at risk. An unmissable novel about responsibility, regret, clouded moral compasses, and the ins and outs of professional football.

Download or read book Environment Ethics and Cultures written by Kay Stables and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-27 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This collection engages environmental, ethical and cultural values perspectives to show how Design and Technology (D&T) Education actively contributes to the significant educational goal of attaining sustainable global futures. An international collection of authors representing all levels of education articulate how D&T research, curriculum theory, policy, and classroom practices can synergise to contribute positively to the education of children for sustainable global futures. The book offers a spectrum of theorised curriculum positions, political and policy analysis, and case studies of successful school practice. A key word in the title is that of contribution which is construed in several senses: first, of D&T as a vehicle for understanding the range of political and social values that arise with such a major educational challenge; second, of D&T as an agent of critical and practical action for students as global citizens; third, by taking global and multiple perspectives (rather than, say, Western or mono-cultural positions); and, fourth, by demonstrating D&T’s capacities for working in holistic and integrative cross-curricular ways. The authors show how students can not only learn about their potential as humans-as-designers but can also develop designerly capacities that enable them to contribute meaningfully in practical ways to their communities and to wider society, that is, as global citizens who can apply design capability in ethical ways that are respectful of peoples, cultures and environments alike."
