Book excerpt: "In the age of fake news, understanding who we trust and why is essential in explaining everything from leadership to power to our daily relationships." -Sinan Aral We live in a world where proven facts and verifiable data are freely and widely available. Why, then, are self-confident ignoramuses so often believed over thoughtful experts? And why do seemingly irrelevant details such as a person's appearance or financial status influence whether or not we trust what they are saying, regardless of their wisdom or foolishness? Stephen Martin and Joseph Marks compellingly explain how in our uncertain and ambiguous world, the messenger is increasingly the message. We frequently fail, they argue, to separate the idea being communicated from the person conveying it, explaining why the status or connectedness of the messenger has become more important than the message itself. Messengers influence business, politics, local communities, and our broader society. And Martin and Marks reveal the forces behind the most infuriating phenomena of our modern era, such as belief in fake news and how presidents can hawk misinformation and flagrant lies yet remain.

Book excerpt: In the dazzling conclusion to the Greystone Secrets series from New York Times bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix, the Greystones and their doubles, the Gustanos, must team up to save the alternate world—before both worlds are lost. All secrets are revealed in this page-turning, suspenseful story that shows the importance of teamwork, telling your story, and taking action when it matters most. As book three of the Greystone Secrets series opens, the Greystone kids have their mother back from the evil alternate world, and so does their friend Natalie. But no one believes the danger is past. Then mysterious coins begin falling from unexpected places. They are inscribed with codes that look just like what the Greystones’ father was working on before he died. And with the right touch, those symbols transform into words: PLEASE LISTEN. And FIND US, SEE US, HELP US. . . . The coins are messengers, telling the Greystones and their allies that their friends in the alternate world are under attack—and that the cruel, mind-controlling forces are now invading the better world, too. After another spinning, sliding journey across worlds, the Greystone kids must solve mysteries that have haunted them since the beginning: what happened when the Gustanos were kidnapped, what created the alternate world, and how a group of mismatched kids can triumph once and for all against an evil force that seems to have total control.

Download or read book The Messengers Speak written by E. Marie Ward and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been written that anyone who attempts to write a Bible story is forced to explore his or her motives when face with the importance and weight that biblical messages carry. The goal of The Messengers Speak is to provide viewers with profound biblical stories from the sixty-six books of the Holy Bible that can be presented through theatrical fellowship. These stories unfold with the characters in the bible being portrayed by an array of constantly revolving cast (messengers) consisting of individuals whose sole purpose is to deliver God's faith-based life-changing messages. Introducing the Bible in the form of stories is not a new idea. When an adult wants to impact important information to a child, it is often best related in a story because it is more easily understood and enjoyed. The Messengers Speak is designed to deliver inspiring earthly stories that deliver heavenly messages and bring God's Holy Word to life. The Messengers Speak uses the text from the Holy Bible. / It has been designed, written, formatted, and presented in the form of a movie script/play and is not intended to replace the reading of the original scriptures. Although it is not totally possible to translate all sixty-six books of the Bible into a script/play, but through years of study, the use of various authorized Bible versions and an attempt to make the language simpler enough without deviating from the text nor sacrificing the dignity of God's message, The Messengers Speak is designed to be another innovated way to deliver God's Word. God knows we can't do without one another. Some of the most important words used throughout the Bible are fellowship, partnership, communion, participation, and "giving to one another." God uses all kinds of tools and people to deliver His message to the world, The Messengers Speak, purpose and desire is to be one of God's successful tools.

Download or read book Hard Bop Academy written by Alan Goldsher and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 2002 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers was one of the most enduring, popular, reliable and vital small bands in modern jazz history. Blakey was not only a distinguished, inventive and powerful drummer, but along with Duke Ellington and Miles Davis, he was one of jazz's foremost talent scouts. The musicians who flowed seamlessly in and out of this constantly evolving collective during its 36-year run were among the most important artists not just of their eras, but of any era. Though their respective innovations were vital to the evolution of bebop, hard bop and neo bop, the recorded work of the Messengers sidemen has never been properly analyzed. Until now. Hard Bop Academy: The Sidemen of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers critically examines the multitude of gifted artists who populated the many editions of the Jazz Messengers. In addition to dissecting the sidemen's most consequential work with Blakey's band, jazz musician and acclaimed novelist Alan Goldsher offers up engaging profiles of everyone from Wynton Marsalis to Terence Blanchard to Hank Mobley to Wayne Shorter to Horace Silver to Keith Jarrett to Curtis Fuller to Steve Davis. And that's only the beginning. Goldsher conducted over 30 interviews with surviving graduates of Blakey's Hard Bop Academy, many of whom spoke at length of their tenure with the legendary "Buhaina" for the first time. Alan Goldsher is a bassist who has recorded with Janet Jackson, Digable Planets, Cypress Hill and Naughty By Nature. His writing has been published in Bass Player, Tower Pulse, Sport and BasketBull: Chicago Bulls Magazine. Goldsher's debut novel, Jam, was published in 2002 by Permanent Press. He lives in Chicago.
