Download or read book No Reason to Complain written by Captain Henry T. Olden and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The series of events related herein are intended to provide an outline of my 48 years as a working man." No Reason to Complain captures Captain Henry T. Olden's thoughts, feelings and experiences of his working life, providing much more than an outline of the formative years of New England aviation. From the 1910 Squantum air meet onward, he describes the flying machines and aviation pioneers of his day, and captures the inspiration that propelled so many like him into the skies. This first hand account chronicles his own inauspicious beginnings as a student pilot at Dennison Airport, through his retirement from Northeast Airlines thirty-five years later. What lies in the pages in between is the story of a man who embraced the joy of flight and passed it on to many others. From the arctic air bases of Greenland to the small airports and seaplane bases of Massachusetts, Henry portrays the life of an aviation pioneer with all the positivity and candor the title reflects, capturing hardships and good fortunes with the same modest memorial. His family appreciates the opportunity to publish his story for the interested reader, especially those whose lives he touched.

Download or read book Complaint written by Sara Ahmed and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-09 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Complaint! Sara Ahmed examines what we can learn about power from those who complain about abuses of power. Drawing on oral and written testimonies from academics and students who have made complaints about harassment, bullying, and unequal working conditions at universities, Ahmed explores the gap between what is supposed to happen when complaints are made and what actually happens. To make complaints within institutions is to learn how they work and for whom they work: complaint as feminist pedagogy. Ahmed explores how complaints are made behind closed doors and how doors are often closed on those who complain. To open these doors---to get complaints through, keep them going, or keep them alive---Ahmed emphasizes, requires forming new kinds of collectives. This book offers a systematic analysis of the methods used to stop complaints and a powerful and poetic meditation on what complaints can be used to do. Following a long lineage of Black feminist and feminist of color critiques of the university, Ahmed delivers a timely consideration of how institutional change becomes possible and why it is necessary.
Download or read book Descartes Meditations on First Philosophy written by René Descartes and published by Agora Publications, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-09-07 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: · René Descartes is often described as the first modern philosopher, but much of the content of his Meditations on First Philosophy can be found in the medieval period that had already existed for more than a thousand years. Does God exist? If so, what is his nature? Is the human soul immortal? How does it differ from the body? What role do sense experience and pure reason play in knowing? Descartes stands out from his predecessors because of the method he developed to treat these and other fundamental questions. Drawing on his study of mathematics, he searches for a way to establish absolutely certain conclusions based on indubitable premises. His importance in modern philosophy lies in the challenge he offers to every subsequent thinker in philosophy and science.

Download or read book Symbolic Confrontations written by NA NA and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-24 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donal Cruise O'Brien is a leading authority on Islam in Africa. This is a collection of his writing over the last 30 years, some significantly rewritten to render this a coherent book to use for teaching about the interplay between politics and Islam in Africa. The author's main argument is that much of politics in Africa is negotiated through use of symbols, and can not be separated from the religious origins and the systems of belief from which they originate. The book focuses on Senegal, a fascinating example of the spread of Muslim brotherhoods and their overarching influence on the construction and decision-making processes of the state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepare yourself for a journey through the world of Patton Oswalt, one of the most creative, insightful, and hysterical voices on the entertainment scene today. Widely known for his roles in the films Big Fan and Ratatouille, as well as the television hit The King of Queens, Patton Oswalt—a staple of Comedy Central—has been amusing audiences for decades. Now, with Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, he offers a fascinating look into his most unusual, and lovable, mindscape. Oswalt combines memoir with uproarious humor, from snow forts to Dungeons & Dragons to gifts from Grandma that had to be explained. He remembers his teen summers spent working in a movie Cineplex and his early years doing stand-up. Readers are also treated to several graphic elements, including a vampire tale for the rest of us and some greeting cards with a special touch. Then there’s the book’s centerpiece, which posits that before all young creative minds have anything to write about, they will home in on one of three story lines: zombies, spaceships, or wastelands. Oswalt chose wastelands, and ever since he has been mining our society’s wasteland for perversion and excess, pop culture and fatty foods, indie rock and single-malt scotch. Zombie Spaceship Wasteland is an inventive account of the evolution of Patton Oswalt’s wildly insightful worldview, sure to indulge his legion of fans and lure many new admirers to his very entertaining “wasteland.”
