Book excerpt: Hi, my name is Tracy Burch and I came from a family of five, three sisters and two brothers born in Detroit. My book addresses a very serious concern in our society. It is being abused and used by men; first of all we need to end this cycle of abuse. I am qualified to write this because my sister has been abused and used by men all her life, and she is the person who inspired me to write these self-help non-fiction short stories, the inspirational guide. Langston Hughes has inspired me also to continue to write about the personal, social problems in our society, especially domestic violence toward women and children. I hope my poetry and short stories will inspire other writers to write about their experiences. Theres nothing that gives me as much happiness as knowing that I gave each and every person some hope and lifted their spirits. The cover shows beautiful butterflies symbolizing women to open their wings and fly away from abuse into a better way of life.

Download or read book The Amazing Discoveries of Ibn Sina written by Fatima Sharafeddine and published by Groundwood Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-03-25 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life story of Ibn Sina (980-1037), one of the greatest philosophers, scientists and physicians of the Islamic world. Born in Persia more than a thousand years ago, Ibn Sina was one of the greatest thinkers of his time — a philosopher, scientist and physician who made significant discoveries, especially in the field of medicine, and wrote more than one hundred books. As a child, Ibn Sina was extremely bright, a voracious reader who loved to learn and was fortunate to have the best teachers. He memorized the Qur’an by the age of ten and completed his medical studies at sixteen. He spent his life traveling, treating the sick, seeking knowledge through research, and writing about his discoveries. He came up with new theories in the fields of physics, chemistry, astronomy and education. His most famous work is The Canon of Medicine, a collection of books that were used for teaching in universities across the Islamic world and Europe for centuries. Ibn Sina’s story, told in the first person and beautifully illustrated, provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of the great intellects of the past.

Download or read book The Discovery of Slowness written by Sten Nadolny and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1997-06-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Discovery of Slowness, German novelist Sten Nadolny recounts the life of the nineteenth-century British explorer Sir John Franklin (1786-1847). The reader follows Franklin's development from awkward schoolboy and ridiculed teenager to expedition leader, governor of Tasmania, and icon of adventure. Everyone with whom he came into contact sensed that he was a rare man, one who was “out of his time” and who moved to a different, grander beat. That beat eventually led Franklin to sail once more—on his final, fateful voyage—into the Arctic in search of the Northwest Passage. The Discovery of Slowness is both a riveting account of a remarkable and varied life, and a profound and thought-provoking meditation on time.

They would gather at nearby watering holes—eating, drinking, and trying not to become someone else’s lunch. But one day, in what we now know as Nebraska, everything changed. The explosion of a supervolcano a thousand miles away sent a blanket of ash that buried these animals for millennia. Until 1953, when a seventeen-year-old farm worker made an unbelievable discovery. Rhinos in Nebraska tells the story of the Ashfall Fossil Beds, where more than two hundred perfectly preserved fossils have been found.

Download or read book Zondor the Great written by John Greenridge and published by Author House. This book was released on 2010 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The events depicted in this book have all been adapted and embellished in order to create this science fiction novel (spot the join, if you can). However, most of the content espouses a more-or-less true record of time travels by the author. The scientific theory embodied within the novel should give cosmic scientists a nudge in the right direction. It offers a brand new hypothetical understanding of how the Universe actually operates. John knows that, as normal living and breathing human beings (rather than the Mechanical, Intelligent Memory Units (MIM Units), as described by Zondor), you wont be tempted to believe this story. That is, until it happens to you - the average sane, human reader. Yet recent scientific discoveries offer some credence to the tale. Those new theories, while similar to my experience, depend on the idea of the projection of the Universe as a hologram - and modern scientists owe some sympathy to the idea. They have not had the dubious benefit of my experiences as a guide, however. So the idea of projecting serial electronic pictures across a time-continuum and onto an event horizon has not hit the new-science headlines so far, even though the technology exists for such events! Like all new science, my idea will have its arm-chair critics. The reader of this book is about to become one of those critics. To the sceptic, I would ask the question, 'How long is it since radio and television were invented/discovered? If you wrote a book about radio and television in the 19th Century, would you have ended up in the loony-bin? Most likely. John Greenridge 2009
