Download or read book Nothing but Waves and Wind written by Christine Montalbetti and published by Deep Vellum Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A musty bar in off-season Cannon Beach, Oregon, provides the setting for an unsuspecting Frenchman’s introduction to the many ways life can go wrong for the unlucky in America. He listens as the barflies nightly recount their tales of woe—betrayal, broken families, financial ruin. Though they seem at first to tolerate the newcomer’s presence and sympathy, a tide of violence is rising, one he perceives only dimly until it is too late to escape. Made doubly powerful by her poetic fascination with the violence and volatility of the American landscape itself, Montalbetti’s novel is a thrilling study of the senseless cruelty disappointed men are capable of.

Book excerpt: A collection of nine short stories reflecting on various characters' relationships with "The River." Ranging in time from the early 20th century to the present, Wind Water Waves chronicles how a varied cast of characters' lives are tied to "The River." The collection begins with "The Last of the Old Timers," the story of four individuals pulling a boat in the fall and recollecting their lives together. Four of the stories, told from different points of view, revolve around a group of young adults grappling with the death of a friend while also realizing that their season of youthful play in a summer wonderland is ending as they are forced to limit their time at the river and test their relationships with each other. "With the River and In the Wind" recalls a harrowing trip across the winter ice when a horse-drawn sleigh crashes through, killing the horses and forcing young Ben into an abandoned cabin until the storm passes. Later, he must confront death again when he recovers the body of a close family friend. "The Midnight Lady" recounts the attempt of two brothers to rob a riverside bank by boat in a fog. "Mom Makes River a Garden" reflects a memory that has blossomed with time. The book ends with "River Murmurs," a glance back to an event in the lives of the characters from the first story.

Download or read book The Life of Imagination written by Jennifer Anna Gosetti-Ferencei and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagination allows us to step out of the ordinary but also to transform it through our sense of wonder and play, artistic inspiration and innovation, or the eureka moment of a scientific breakthrough. In this book, Jennifer Anna Gosetti-Ferencei offers a groundbreaking new understanding of its place in everyday experience as well as the heights of creative achievement. The Life of Imagination delivers a new conception of imagination that places it at the heart of our engagement with the world—thinking, acting, feeling, making, and being. Gosetti-Ferencei reveals imagination’s roots in embodied human cognition and its role in shaping our cognitive ecology. She demonstrates how imagination arises from our material engagements with the world and at the same time endows us with the sense of an inner life, how it both allows us to escape from reality and aids us in better understanding it. Drawing from philosophy, cognitive science, evolutionary anthropology, developmental psychology, literary theory, and aesthetics, Gosetti-Ferencei engages a spectacular range of examples from ordinary thought processes and actions to artistic, scientific, and literary feats to argue that, like consciousness itself, imagination resists reductive explanation. The Life of Imagination offers a vital account of transformative thinking that shows how imagination will be essential in cultivating a future conducive to human flourishing and to that of the life around us.

Drawn from a sermon that has electrified listeners, here is a concise, powerful meditation on the nature of creativity from Episcopal priest and radical theologian Matthew Fox. Creativity is Fox at his most dynamic: It is immensely practical and leaves the reader with a message to put into action in life. Fox tantalizingly suggests that the most prayerful, most spiritually powerful act a person can undertake is to create, at his or her own level, with a consciousness of the place from which that gift arises.

This book was released on 2024-04-02 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered about the story behind the clouds? Have you marvelled at their formations, their shapes, and their ever-changing nature? Clouds, often seen as transient and ephemeral, hold within them a geological tale that spans millions of years. In this book, we delve into the fascinating world where geology meets meteorology, exploring the intricate relationship between rocks and clouds. From the towering cumulonimbus to the wispy cirrus, each cloud formation is a result of complex processes that begin deep within the Earth's crust. One of the key players in this geological drama is feldspar, a mineral that plays a crucial role in cloud formation. Through the ages, feldspar and other rocks have been weathered and eroded, releasing particles into the atmosphere that serve as nuclei for cloud droplets. These mineral particles, along with other natural and human-made aerosols, influence cloud properties such as size, shape, and lifespan, ultimately impacting weather patterns and climate. As we explore the geology of clouds, we also uncover the broader implications of these processes. Understanding how clouds form and evolve not only enriches our appreciation of the natural world but also deepens our awareness of the intricate interplay between Earth's systems. Top of Form Waves are the rhythmic heartbeat of the oceans and seas, a language spoken by the waters that has captivated human imagination for centuries. From the gentle lapping of wind waves against the shore to the awe-inspiring power of storm surges, each wave tells a story of nature's raw beauty and immense power. In this book, we delve into the world of ocean and sea waves, exploring the different types of waves that grace our planet's vast bodies of water. From the familiar wind waves that dance playfully on the surface to the mysterious rogue waves that lurk beneath, we uncover the secrets of these fascinating phenomena. Through detailed explanations and vivid descriptions, we unravel the science behind waves, examining the forces that shape them and the factors that influence their behaviour. We explore how waves are formed, how they travel across vast distances, and how they interact with the environment around them. But waves are more than just a scientific curiosity; they are a force of nature that has a profound impact on our world. We discuss the role of waves in shaping coastlines, influencing weather patterns, and even driving ocean currents. We also explore the ways in which waves are harnessed for human use, from surfing and sailing to renewable energy generation. As we journey through the world of ocean and sea waves, we invite you to join us in marvelling at the beauty and complexity of these natural wonders. Whether you are a scientist, a sailor, or simply someone with a love for the sea, we hope that this book will deepen your appreciation for the fascinating world of waves. This book is a journey through the skies, guided by the lens of geology. It is an invitation to look beyond the surface of clouds and discover the geological forces that shape our atmosphere. So, join us as we disclose the mysteries of clouds and uncover the hidden stories written in the sky. So come, dive in, and let the waves carry you away on a journey of discovery and wonder.
