Download or read book More Memories and More Knowledge of My Family and Me written by James E. Daughtridge and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-01-06 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My book is about everything that I know about my family, both about my mother’s and father’s side of the family in addition to my interactions towards or with each of them. I was inspired by a late great maternal uncle to pursue such a project. First, I re-collected everything that I could about various family members. It was simply a matter of thinking about what I know and what I could jot down on paper in the comfortable setting of my home or automobiles. I conducted a vast number of interviews from members of each side of the family. This was after I organized a family tree and decided to proceed from that. Those interviews led me to further interviews. Wherever and whenever I could, I got many telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. Sometimes, I researched the Internet when given information about their affiliations or personal pursuits. I utilized other sources in addition to interviews. Some sources included obituaries, books, magazines, newspaper articles, and just plain statistics regarding whatever endeavors they had, such as with my only child. Pursuing this type of manuscript required hard work, devotion, and perseverance. This book serves as an encouragement to others to do family research and record whatever they find. One should only seek the positive and sidestep the negative. One derives a great deal of joy and satisfaction from engaging in such a project. This work is a reflection of you and how you see things in the lenses of your life. I hope that many who read this book take it upon themselves to do the same as I have done. Doing this work was truly a joy and a blessing.

Download or read book Not in My Family written by Roger Frie and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2018 Western Canada Jewish Book Award Winner of the 2017 Canadian Jewish Literary Award Even as the Holocaust grows more distant with the passing of time, its traumas call out to be known and understood. What is remembered, what has been imparted through German heritage, and what has been forgotten? Can familiar family stories be transformed into an understanding of the Holocaust's forbidding reality? Author Roger Frie is uniquely positioned to answer these questions. As the son of Germans who were children during World War II, and with grandparents who were participants in the War, he uses the history of his family as a guide to explore the psychological and moral implications of memory against the backdrop of one of humanity's darkest periods. From his perspective of a life lived across German and Jewish contexts, Frie explores what it means to discover the legacy of a Nazi past. Beginning with the narrative of his grandfather, he shows how the transfer of memory from one German generation to the next keeps the Holocaust at bay. Not in My Family is rich with poignant illustration: Frie beautifully combines his own story with the stories of others, perpetrators and survivors, and the generations that came after. As a practicing psychotherapist he also draws on his own experience of working with patients whose lives have been directly and indirectly shaped by the Holocaust. Throughout, Frie proceeds with a level of frankness and honesty that invites readers to reflect on their own histories and to understand the lasting effects of historical traumas into the present.

Download or read book Find Your Path written by Daniel Goodman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists offer personal accounts of the challenges, struggles, successes, U-turns, and satisfactions encountered in their careers in industry, academia, and government. This insightful book offers essential life and career lessons for newly minted STEM graduates and those seeking a career change. Thirty-six leading scientists and engineers (including two Nobel Prize winners) describe the challenges, struggles, successes, satisfactions, and U-turns encountered as they established their careers. Readers learn that there are professional possibilities beyond academia, as contributors describe the paths that took them into private industry and government as well as to college and university campuses. They discuss their varying preferences for solitary research or collaborative teamwork; their attempts to achieve work-life balance; and unplanned changes in direction that resulted in a more satisfying career. Women describe confronting overt sexism and institutional gender bias; scientists of color describe the experience of being outsiders in their field. One scientist moves from startup to startup, enjoying a career of serial challenges; another spends decades at one university; another has worked in academia, industry, and government. Some followed in the footsteps of parents; others were the first in their family to go to college. Many have changed fields, switched subjects, or left established organizations for something new. Taken together, these essays make it clear that there is not one path to a profession in science, but many.

Download or read book I See Movies in My Head written by Phillip D. Reisner and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-08 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Phillip Reisner has been seeing movies and writing poetry in his head his entire life, from his childhood years on a midwestern farm to his first venture out in the world as an adult. He learned efficiency of thought, action, and description from his father, who was a man of few words. His poetry collection, I See Movies in My Head takes place over a period of twenty years, beginning before Phillip gained self-awareness and coming up to a point of true-life realization. Phillip remembers his life experiences through movies in his head and poetically describes his personal history of growing up. His innocence is pure early in his life, but living gradually chips away with personal awareness and worldliness. Concise and to the point, the free-verse poems of I See Movies in My Head seek to remind us that simplicity teaches while complexity awaits understanding. I wish I could go back in time with more than organic films in my head, and feel sweet, special and innocent again. I wish I could be six years old again, and ignorantly unique without worldly knowledge to clutter my heart, mind, and soul.
Download or read book Semper Indomitus written by Robert W. Brady, Jr and published by Robert W Brady, Jr. This book was released on 2018-12-22 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Randy Morden was tricked by the dying god, Anubis, into converting to the Death God's religion. The first thing Anubis did was to trade him to another god, War, in a land called Fovea, where magic is real and men ride horses into war, and justice is often at the point of a sword. The god War instructed him, "Lead a successful life," and Randy made of himself a Duke, in the nation of Eldador, and he turned Eldador into the economic powerhouse of the known world. But that wasn't enough. So Randy made himself a King, and Eldador into an Empire, and that empire into the juggernaut that ruled land and sea - but that wasn't enough. Not for the hungry god, War. Other gods brought other champions to Fovea from Earth - an older man, a young girl, and they, too, became powerful. A prophesy was sung, telling of an impending war, of a fight to late to win, of weapons against the One. We took an Intermission, and we learned of the Randy's children, how powerful they'd become, of the adventures they had. Now, in the final story, we learn it all. Who is this mysterious Druid and what is his secret? What is the power of Latin here? Most importantly, what is Randy's 'success,' and what is its terrible price? Set yourself aside a block of time, because you're not going to want to put down Semper Indomitus, and you'll NEVER believe how this adventure ends!

Download or read book Autoethnography in the 21st Century Volume II written by Lisa Ortiz-Vilarelle and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-13 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autoethnography in the 21st Century offers interpretive, analytic, interactive, performative, experiential, and embodied forms of autoethnography from around the globe. Volume II, Genealogy, Memory, Media, Witness examines hybrid ethnographic life-writing genres, including genealogical memoir, cultural autotheory, and family narrative. Contributors actively blur the distinction between emic and etic classifications of ethnographic experience to position themselves as both the active bearers of and critical witnesses of culture to produce and analyze expressive rather than data-driven depictions of selfhood and culture that emerge in the spaces between traditionally self-effacing scientific methods and literary narrative. It features autobiographical and anthropological poetics, autotheory, and fieldwork grounded in Trinidad, Jordan, Mexico, Italy, Australia, Canada, Scotland, Egypt, Turkey, and the United States. The book will be of interest to students and researchers in the fields of critical autoethnography, communication, cultural and gender studies, and other related disciplines. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Life Writing.
Download or read book Indigenous Motherhood in the Academy written by Robin Zape-tah-hol-ah Minthorn and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-19 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous Motherhood in the Academy highlights the experiences and narratives emerging from Indigenous mothers in the academy who are negotiating their roles in multiple contexts. The essays in this volume contribute to the broader higher education literature and the literature on Indigenous representation in the academy, filling a longtime gap that has excluded Indigenous women scholar voices. This book covers diverse topics such as the journey to motherhood, lessons through motherhood, acknowledging ancestors and grandparents in one’s mothering, how historical trauma and violence plague the past, and balancing mothering through the healing process. More specific to Indigenous motherhood in the academy is how culture and place impacts mothering (specifically, if Indigenous mothers are not in their traditional homelands as they raise their children), how academia impacts mothering, how mothering impacts scholarship, and how to negotiate loss and other complexities between motherhood and one’s role in the academy.
