Book excerpt: Here is the translation of Khátirát-i-Nuh-Sáliy-i-'Akká, the memoirs of Dr Youness Afroukhteh who served 'Abdu'l-Bahá as His trusted secretary and interpreter from 1900-1909. These were difficult years when the Master was imprisoned in the city of 'Akká, His every move subject to misrepresentation by the Arch-breaker of the Covenant and his associates, and even His life in danger. At the same time the period saw the victories of the construction of the Shrine of the Báb and the House of Worship in 'Ishqábád, and the rise of the Cause of Bahá'u'lláh in the West. This important record, published in 1952 on the instructions of Shoghi Effendi, has been described as 'pre-eminent among those works dealing with the history of Covenant-breaking'. At the same time it chronicles the daily life in 'Akká of 'Abdu'l-Bahá and of the little band of devoted believers whose chief joy in life was to be of service to Him; it also describes the pilgrimages to 'Akká of many eminent early Western Bahá'ís including Thomas Breakwell, Hippolyte Dreyfus, Lua Getsinger and Laura Barney, the compiler of Some Answered Questions. Over those nine years Jináb-i-Khán (the title by which Dr Youness Afroukhteh was honoured by 'Abdu'l-Bahá) served the Master in 'Akká as secretary, translator, envoy and physician. His account of some of the most significant events of the period, his graphic and stirring pen-portraits of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, and the description of his own emotions - all expressed in a lively and at time mischievous language of humour and wit - make this volume uniquely memorable.

Book excerpt: This book presents cutting-edge research on memory in the age of the Internet and social media. The empirical studies reported in the ten chapters address the influence of the digital age on remembering in three broad areas: offloading memory and the associated costs, benefits, and boundary conditions; autobiographical memory online; and false memory at a time of fake news and misinformation. These studies employ innovative and rigorous methodological approaches that are ecologically valid in the online context. Their findings reveal complex and dynamic characteristics of human memory in a digitally mediated world that shapes our learning, our sense of self, and our beliefs and decision making. Collectively, the chapters in this volume provide rich theoretical insights into the workings and functions of memory. This book ushers in a new era of research on memory in the age of digitization. Memory Online will be a beneficial read for students and scholars of Psychology, Cognitive Science, Communication, and Media Studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Memory.

Download or read book Unsung written by Jared Maxwell and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even in our appearance, the apathy was starting to become apparent, as we all had already accepted death and just continued to do our jobs and wait for our numbers to be up, hoping it would be quick. At a time when the country was focused on Iraq, a brave few were enduring life in the Valley of Death, the Korengal Valley, Afghanistan. Jared Maxwell, a U.S. Army infantryman, articulates the darkness of war in a poetic memoir that speaks of brutality, cruelty, and the ruthlessness of war. From graphic memories of wounded, dying comrades to painfully eloquent perspectives on the hidden wounds of war, including posttraumatic stress syndrome, Jared Maxwell's cathartic memoir is a glimpse into the horrors of war, as well as the touching relationships and permanent bonds formed between men who were fighting a largely unknown and misunderstood war. Unsung is about finding your way back from hell, from the brink of death, and from the brink of insanity. It is about escaping death, escaping the nightmares, and finding your strength, even when your mortality is staring directly into your eyes. And it is about valor and the pursuit of victory, even when victory is as distant as hope. As Maxwell so beautifully expressed, Death. We found it, we created it, we endured it, and we braved it. About the Author After experiencing the horror of the September 11 attacks in his high school senior year, Jared Maxwell enlisted in the U.S. Army and spent the next nine years in service to his country. Between March 2006 and June 2007, Jared fought on the frontlines in a heavily forested, mountainous area of Northeast Afghanistan. Unsung Memoirs of an Infantryman is a first-person account of this time in his life and of the history and stories behind fighting in Afghanistan's deadliest province as a young man. Jared also details his deeply personal account of developing posttraumatic stress syndrome due to three tours in combat. Although originally from New York, Jared has spent most of his life as a Florida resident. Upon leaving the military in 2011, he began attending college and is currently a college student and aspiring novelist. Unsung is his first novel.

Download or read book Mason Dixon Memories written by Stacia Roberts Pangburn and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-06-12 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In essence this is the continuous coming-of-age story about a fragile family during the fifties, sixties, and beyond who spent years crossing the Mason-Dixon Line in search of the truth, new beginnings, redemption, and the best way to live their lives. This nostalgic look back at first loves and friendships that last a lifetime speaks to the strength and continuity of the invisible thread of unity which kept them connected through time and place, even after their family fractured. When two Southern brothers from New Roads, Louisiana married two Northern sisters from New England, the roots of these Mason-Dixon matches were planted in the fertile soil along the great Mississippi. Although one of the only things that they had in common was the word 'new' in their places of origin, the author's young and impetuous parents decided to elope nine days after they were introduced by their older siblings! They then began to build the foundation of our lives in a little cypress shotgun cabin under the beautiful cathedral ceiling of an oak alley on a piece of land called Live Oak. For thirteen years they tried to make their marriage last, but it eventually shattered when Mama left Daddy behind without any warning and took their daughters back to her home in Massachusetts. On the day that we were taken so far away from Daddy and Live Oak, the 'before and after' days of our youth began. We spent years crossing the lines of our lives going back and forth from South to North and back to Dixie again where we eventually spent summers with Daddy and renewed our childhood friendships. Through time most of the relationships from both places stood the test of time and, in the end, after we had all finally come-of-age we eventually returned to the place where our story had begun. Through everything we each grew to see the blessings that were right before us all along. Every day people are impacted by abuse, alcoholism, divorce, murder, mental and physical illness, and suicide. Our family was touched by all of these, but we were also enveloped by the love, kindness, empathy, support, encouragement, understanding, and compassion of those who surrounded us. These are more than mere words because there is a great deal of meaning behind them. "Mason-Dixon Memories" is the story about who we became while we were carried through our lives by the goodness of others.
