But this afternoon is unlike the chain of summer days before, and the shocking events that precede the guests’ arrival tear Patrick’s world in two.

Download or read book Nirvana written by WEDDLE and published by Acc Art Books. This book was released on 2021-09-13 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - Publishing on the 30th Anniversary of the release of Nevermind by Nirvana, 24 September 2021 - 150 color and black & white photos throughout. Many unseen - Commentary, quotes and text throughout, including Kirk Weddle (photographer), Steven Walker (owner, Modern Rocks Gallery USA), Steve Fairclough (journalist and writer of 'The all-time greatest album covers'), and Kurt St. Thomas (radio DJ who first played the band) and more When lists are made and articles are written about rock and roll's greatest album covers - there's a consistent name at the top: Nevermind by Nirvana; Nirvana's breakthrough 1991 record that cemented the band's legacy into legend. The image of the baby floating towards a dollar bill on a fish-hook is instantly recognizable as iconic. Now - for the first time in book form - the photographer behind the lens shares his memories from that day along with his nearly 140 outtakes, includes promo shots of the band. Kirk Weddle, an up-and-coming photographer specializing in "submerged humans," was called by the album's art director Robert Fisher with the brief. Weddle went to work and over the course of a few days produced not only the album's iconic cover, but also a series of images of the band that were not used at the time. They are all reproduced in the book. The stories from Weddle of the days shooting - first a series of babies, then a series of the band - paint a picture of a band at the brink of superstardom. Tired from touring, they arrived 'surprised' to discover that they, too, would have to dive into the pool. "It was a cold, overcast day in Los Angeles. It wasn't the ideal swimming situation" remembers Weddle. Nirvana: Never Mind the Photos will be the first time the photographs will be published as a whole. The book showcases these extraordinary shots, examining just how difficult photographing an underwater baby turned out to be, nevertheless photographing an underwater band. These images of Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic capture the band as they dive in and submerge themselves into the rock icon stratosphere. With contributions, essays and quotes throughout, including Steven Walker, owner of Modern Rocks Gallery (USA), journalist Steve Fairclough, album art director Robert Fisher, coupled with Weddle's own commentary, makes this one-of-a-kind book an insightful celebration of one of the world's most iconic images.

Book excerpt: If one wants to remain in the moment, what does one do about the mind? Never mind! The mind does what the mind does.

His teaching hammers away at the basic misconceptions that bring about human suffering -- I could have and should have done it differently. I am flawed.

According to Wayne, everything is the perfect manifestation of the Source and it is in the acceptance of everything that peace is revealed.

For seventh grade, brainy Meg is attending ultra-competitive Fischer, while freewheeling Edward goes to an alternative school downtown. But it's just when they're finally out of each other's shadows that the trouble begins. Meg's aspirations for popularity and a boyfriend combine with Edward's devious planning and lack of singing ability to set off a showdown the likes of which twindom has never before seen. Why is this final showdown so much fun? Could it be that Meg and Edward are more alike than they thought?

Download or read book From Never Mind to Ever Mind written by Robert Rosenthal and published by Gildan Press. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The self-help literature is rife with works that promise to teach us the secret to health, wealth and happiness, which almost always involves the power of positive thinking. These books fail to address the fundamental problem that lies at the core of our dissatisfaction. We don't know what we want. So we bounce from one desire to the next, in search of a better job, an alluring relationship, an investment that will make us rich, or someone who will share her spiritual secrets to happiness with us. From Never Mind to Ever Mind takes a different approach, based on the teachings of A Course in Miracles. We can't find happiness because we don't know where or how to look! Happiness comes from truth and truth resides within. We must first recognize our true identity, which, according to A Course in Miracles, is Spirit. Only when we recognize and remove the obstacles to our true nature-to the presence of love within us, and within all beings-will we know the truth of who we are. From Never Mind to Ever Mind will lead the listener on a journey of undoing, informed by the teaching of A Course in Miracles. It will demonstrate conclusively the false assumptions from which our current sense of self is constructed so that we can gently release them and experience instead the refreshing, cleansing breeze of Spirit blowing into our lives. We don't know what will make us happy, but our true self does. And it will gladly reveal itself and show us the way, quite miraculously, if and when we let it.

Download or read book Never Mind the Bosses written by Robin Ryde and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-09-24 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades, power, information and resources have moved from being concentrated in the hands of a few, to being disbursed across many. We need look no further than events on the world stage to see the heat signature of this – from the arrival of Wikileaks, the Arab Spring of 2011 and the Occupy movements, to the social media revolution and flashpoints such as the British Members of Parliament expenses scandal. All are examples of deep change occurring. This book is about what this means for the workplace and for management. The proposition offered here is that our organisations need to catch up, and that the “death of deference” that we are seeing elsewhere in society needs to be accelerated in the workplace. Systems of deference slow down organisational performance. Deference prevents organisations from learning. It stops them from being agile, innovative and ethical. Deference is the enemy of organisational success and it needs to be dismantled so that in its place we can build modern organisations with a new breed of managers and leaders. This book offers a solution to a problem that belongs in the last century, and a game plan for nothing short of a workplace revolution. "If deference is dead, this book is about the resurrection of the effective manager in a world where nothing is quite the way it used to be. Powerful and thought-provoking from start to finish." - Jeremy Vine, BBC Presenter and Author “Never Mind the Bosses is a refreshing type of management book, it advocates that deference to authority figures needs to go if we are to have engaged workforces.” - Cary L. Cooper, CBE, Distinguished Professor of Organizational Psychology and Health at Lancaster University Management School "An engaging and entertaining romp through the post punk world. By going beyond the boundaries of most business books, Ryde gives us all food for thought about how organisations are, or are not, dealing with a rapidly changing society and workforce." - Jo Owen, bestselling author of ‘How to Manage’ and 'How to Lead' “If you are looking for a book that will shake up your thinking about how to improve your organization’s performance – or worried that your competitors will find it first! – try this one.” - Professor Dutch Leonard, Harvard Business School & Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government

Book excerpt: "What we all hope for our children's education is undiminished curiosity and creativeness, and solid practical preparation for adult work. Today, there's no doubt that easy access to computers is vital for students. Bob Johnstone has brilliantly and passionately told the story of the worldwide struggle to make today's equivalent of the pencil accessible to all students." -Victor K. McElheny, author of "Watson and DNA" If every kid had a laptop computer, what would difference would it make to their learning? And to their prospects? Today, these are questions that all parents, teachers, school administrators, and politicians must ask themselves. Bob Johnstone provides a definitive answer to the conundrum of computers in the classroom. His conclusion: we owe it to our kids to educate them in the medium of their time. In this book he tells the extraordinary story of the world's first laptop school. How daring educators at an independent girls' school in Melbourne, Australia, empowered their students by making laptops mandatory. And how they solved all the obstacles to laptop learning, including teacher training. Their example spread to thousands of other schools worldwide. Especially in America, where it inspired the largest educational technology initiative in US history-the State of Maine issuing laptops to every seventh-grader in its public school system. This lively, intriguing, anecdote-rich account is based on hundreds of interviews. In it, you'll meet the visionary leaders, inspirational principals, heroic teachers, and their endlessly-surprising students who showed what computers in the classroom are really for.
