Download or read book Mago s Dream written by Ilchi Lee and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have forgotten how to breathe out. Caught in a materialistic matrix, humanity has become trapped in an unsustainable pattern of living, breathing in until we are ready to implode. The Earth is laboring under the burden. The time to exhale has arrived. You are an extraordinary person because you are living during an extraordinary time in history. Humanity has reached a critical juncture in its collective development, and many critical issues now demanding our immediate attention: global warming, population growth, culture clash, and more. In Mago's Dream, you will learn to connect to the essence of Mago, the nurturing spirit of the Earth. In the process, you will feel that her essence is your essence, and that through her you can connect to your own highest self. In the book, Ilchi Lee contends that the earth itself should become a central tenant of our human identity. By recognizing ourselves as 'Earth-humans' we can learn to transcend the cultural and national identities that keep us from living as a single, united humanity. And, by placing the Earth herself at the center of our common value system, we can learn to live in balance with the source of life itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From bestselling author of the remarkable memoir, The Distance Between Us comes an inspiring account of one woman’s quest to find her place in America as a first-generation Latina university student and aspiring writer determined to build a new life for her family one fearless word at a time. “Here is a life story so unbelievable, it could only be true” (Sandra Cisneros, bestselling author of The House on Mango Street). As an immigrant in an unfamiliar country, with an indifferent mother and abusive father, Reyna had few resources at her disposal. Taking refuge in words, Reyna’s love of reading and writing propels her to rise above until she achieves the impossible and is accepted to the University of California, Santa Cruz. Although her acceptance is a triumph, the actual experience of American college life is intimidating and unfamiliar for someone like Reyna, who is now estranged from her family and support system. Again, she finds solace in words, holding fast to her vision of becoming a writer, only to discover she knows nothing about what it takes to make a career out of a dream. Through it all, Reyna is determined to make the impossible possible, going from undocumented immigrant of little means to “a fierce, smart, shimmering light of a writer” (Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild); a National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist whose “power is growing with every book” (Luis Alberto Urrea, Pultizer Prize finalist); and a proud mother of two beautiful children who will never have to know the pain of poverty and neglect. Told in Reyna’s exquisite, heartfelt prose, A Dream Called Home demonstrates how, by daring to pursue her dreams, Reyna was able to build the one thing she had always longed for: a home that would endure.

Book excerpt: It was one of the most harrowing and incredible times in recorded history. The Roman Republic's desire for absolute power made it a lightning rod for those seeking to cause its downfall. IThe Lion of Africa: Hannibal of Carthage follows the Carthaginian's battles with the Roman army and his quest to topple the republic he despises. Hannibal Barca leads an army on a surprise attack of Italy. With 100,000 men and beast, including 37 war elephants, following his path, Hannibal crosses the Alps in the height of winter to tackle the Romans. And tackle he does. After merging with the tribes of Gaul, his forces slaughter 100,000 Romans within the first two years of engagement. His genius as a war strategist becomes evident as he defeats the Romans again at Trebia and on the shores of Lake Trasimene. His infamous win at Cannae leaves 60,000 Romans slain on a single afternoon. Told by an elderly storyteller, The tale follows Hannibal's brutal war with Rome and his experience in the field, including those of his brothers Mago, Hasdrubal and Hanno, and those of his Roman adversary the young Captain Scipio.

Download or read book An Introduction to Silius Italicus and the Punica written by John Jacobs and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a much-needed comprehensive introduction to Silius Italicus and the Punica, Jacobs offers an invitation to students and scholars alike to read the epic as a thoughtful and considered treatment of Rome's past, present, and (perilous) future. The Second Punic War marked a turning point in world history: Rome faced her greatest external threat in the famous Carthaginian general Hannibal, and her victory led to her domination of the Mediterranean. Lingering memories of the conflict played a pivotal role in the city's transition from Republic to Empire, from foreign war to civil war. Looking back after the events of AD 69, the senator–poet Silius Italicus identified the Second Punic War as the turning point in Rome's history through his Punica. After introductory chapters for those new to the poet and his poem, Jacobs' close reading of the epic narrative guides students and scholars alike through the Punica. All Greek and Latin passages are translated to ensure accessibility for those reading in English. Far more than simply a retelling of Rome's greatest triumph, the Punica challenges its reader to make sense of the Second Punic War in light of its full impact on the subsequent course of the city's history.
Download or read book Can s Tago Mago written by Alan Warner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally, a brilliant exploration of the German rock band Can's 1971 album Tago Mago. This hugely unique and influential album deserves close analysis from a fan, rather than a musicologist. Novelist Alan Warner details the concrete music we hear on the album, how it was composed, executed and recorded--including the history of the album in terms of its release, promotion and art work. This tale of Tago Mago is also the tale of a young man obsessed with record collecting in the dark and mysterious period of pop music before Google. Warner includes a backtracking of the history of the band up to that point and also some description of Can's unique recording approach taking into account their home studio set up. Interviews with the two surviving members: drummer Jaki Liebezeit, keyboardist Irmin Schmidt and bassist Holger Czukay make this a hilariously personal and illuminating picture of Can.

Book excerpt: Suddenly, clouds of smoke billowed in front of the two friends, with sparks of fire popping. The stench of ash and sulfur pervaded the stalls, alarming the animals. Mago had to calm them down. Satan emerged from the smoke, preceded by his chortling. "Hello, hello, hello, Satan greeted them with a veneer of glee. "I knew I could find you here, my friend Lugo. It seems you anticipated my visit. The time of tribulation has passed, and the Saints of the Earth live in peace and harmony. And yet, even in this respite from seven millennia of turmoil and havoc, there are those who cavort with their sinful nature. Drunken with their bloated egos, they wander far from the Triune God until they fall of the cliff of rebellion. Too late to turn back, they are too befuddled to realize that they have rejected Paradise in exchange for their own self-centered desires. Matt has fortune and fame as an athlete and a technician. He is contented; with no strong feelings about life and God. He is not aware that he needs a spiritual rejuvenation or that battle lines are being drawn all around him. His family, the Transformed Ones, and the Legate Commander Joshua (sent by King Jesus) tried to lead him to the Triune God, to no avail, it seems. Who else and under what circumstances could move him from the path he is taking? Will Matt realize that his choices may have eternal consequences? Will he turn back to the truth and take his rightful place in the army of God before it is too late? Find out as the human race moves Beyond Apocalypse.
