Download or read book The Lost Orchard written by Mustafa Kabha and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Palestinian Nakba (catastrophe) of 1948, devastated Palestinian lives and shattered Palestinian society, culture, and economy. It also nipped in the bud a nascent grassroots, binational alliance between Arab and Jewish citrus growers. This significant and unprecedented partnership was virtually erased from the collective memory of both Israelis and Palestinians when the Nakba decimated villages and populations in a matter of months. In The Lost Orchard, Kabha and Karlinsky tell the story of the Palestinian citrus industry from its inception until 1950, tracing the shifting relationship between Palestinian Arabs and Zionist Jews. Using rich archival and primary sources, as well as on a variety of theoretical approaches, Kabha and Karlinsky portray the industry’s social fabric and stratification, detail its economic history, and analyze the conditions that enabled the formation of the unique binational organization that managed the country’s industry from late 1940 until April 1948.

Download or read book The Way of the Stars written by Robert C. Sibley and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since medieval times, pilgrimages have been a popular religious or spiritual undertaking. Even today, between seventy and one hundred million people a year make pilgrimages, if not for expressly religious reasons, then for an alternative to secular goals and the preoccupation with consumption and entertainment characteristic of contemporary life. In The Way of the Stars, the journalist Robert Sibley, motivated at least in part by his own sense of discontent, recounts his walks on one of the most well-known pilgrimages in the Western world—the Camino de Santiago. A medieval route that crosses northern Spain and leads to the town of Santiago de Compostela, the Camino has for hundreds of years provided for pilgrims the practice, the place, and the circumstances that allow for spiritual rejuvenation, reflection, and introspection. Sibley, who made the five-hundred-mile trek twice—initially on his own, and then eight years later with his son—offers a personal narrative not only of the outward journey of a pilgrim’s experience on the road to Santiago but also of the inward journey afforded by an interlude of solitude and a respite from the daily demands of ordinary life. The month-long trip put the author on a path through his own memories, dreams, and self-perceptions as well as through the sights and sounds, the tastes and sensations, of the Camino itself.

Download or read book A Path Unexpected written by Jane Evans and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Jane Evans is a name that has earned enormous respect in Early Childhood Development circles. The fact that ECD is an essential pillar in our country's programme of educational reform owes much to Jane and other activists of the time – many of whom are mentioned in her book. While this is a personal memoir it is also an important record of ECD in South Africa.' – Dr Tshepo Motsepe Jane Evans begins her memoir with her career as a journalist in the big city, then tells of her moving to the small town of Viljoenskroon in the northern Free State with her husband, Anthony Evans, a well-known and respected businessman and farmer. It is here, in the heart of South Africa's maize lands during the height of apartheid, that Jane is moved to create the non-profit organisation Ntataise, marking the start of her activism for early childhood development (ECD) and advocacy for training women in rural communities to become ECD teachers. Eloquently written and told with great sensitivity and humility, this is a memoir about love, loss, finding purpose, and how one woman's unexpected path led to family-like bonds in the unlikeliest of places – and about a dream so profound that it would influence generations of young learners and the women who teach them.

Book excerpt: In Wascana Park, they're ordinary university students. But after midnight, when the park transforms into the magical kingdom of Anfractus, they become warriors, bards, and archers in a real-life role-playing game... The company of heroes has thwarted the plan of the power-hungry basilissa to conquer Anfractus, but not without a cost. Andrew's character, Roldan, died, leaving him cut off from the mystical realm without any memory of its existence. If the others reveal the park's magical nature to Andrew, his banishment will become permanent. So they must hide their nighttime adventures--and hope that his memory returns. Pursued by the basilissa's forces, the rest of the group keeps a low profile in Anfractus until they uncover an unholy alliance between their enemy and the silenoi, satyrlike creatures who hunt humans--an alliance that threatens to cross the barrier into the real world. And while his friends struggle to prevent an invasion in both worlds, Andrew receives a visitor determined to restore his memory of Anfractus by leading him down a very dark path...

Download or read book Reagan s Path to Victory written by Kiron K. Skinner and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2004-12-01 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last years of Ronald Reagan's life, his voluminous writings on politics, policy, and people finally emerged and offered a Rosetta stone by which to understand him. From 1975 to 1979, in particular, he delivered more than 1,000 radio addresses, of which he wrote at least 680 himself. When drafts of his addresses were first discovered, and a selection was published in 2001 as Reagan, In His Own Hand by the editors of this book, they caused a sensation by revealing Reagan as a prolific and thoughtful writer, who covered a wide variety of topics and worked out the agenda that would drive his presidency. What was missed in that thematic collection, however, was the development of his ideas over time. Now, in Reagan's Path to Victory, a chronological selection of more than 300 addresses with historical context supplied by the editors, readers can see how Reagan reacted to the events that defined the Carter years and how he honed his message in the crucial years before his campaign officially began. The late 1970s were tumultuous times. In the aftermath of Vietnam and Watergate, America's foreign and domestic policies were up for grabs. Reagan argued against the Panama Canal treaties, in vain; against the prevailing view that the Vietnam War was an ignoble enterprise from the start; against détente with the Soviet Union; against the growth of regulation; and against the tax burden. Yet he was fundamentally an optimist, who presented positive, values-based prescriptions for the economy and for Soviet relations. He told many inspiring stories; he applauded charities and small businesses that worked to overcome challenges. As Reagan's Path to Victory unfolds, Reagan's essays reveal a presidential candidate who knew himself and knew his positions, who presented a stark alternative to an incumbent administration, and who knew how to reach out and touch voters directly. Reagan's Path to Victory is nothing less than a president's campaign playbook, in his own words.

Download or read book Aces and Orange Peels written by Jennifer Charlinski and published by Jennifer Charlinski. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aces and Orange Peels is the soul-stirring story about an intuitive Cuban woman named Spirit Leonard, a single mother from Toronto, Canada, who is compelled to make good on an eighteen-year-old promise-to unite her son, Jace, with his father, Lucas Moreno, in Sevilla, Spain. There's a reason Spirit left Lucas, and the seductive allure of Sevilla all those years ago-unspoken intuition. And now, her instincts can't bear the thought of Jace, whom she has single-handedly raised to near adulthood, becoming ensnared in Lucas's web of deception. Jace has the heart of an athlete and is fueled by discipline and determination. He's transcended Lucas's precarious path but a two-week trip to Spain could ruin everything. As such, Spirit intuits a heart-stopping tarot card message. Still, there's no reneging on her promise to the ever-persistent, Lucas Moreno. 'A broken promise doth have consequences, ' he'd say. Regardless of Spirit's strong intuition urging her to cancel their upcoming trip to Sevilla, Spirit knows Lucas will find a way to cross paths with Jace; at least while on the trip together, she can do her best to shield Jace from anything that might impede his well-being and scholarly future. While basking in Sevillian ambiance, an escalation of nightmarish visions and conflicting guidance from the ethereal coincide with the temptation of Lucas's sexual advances and, it's not long before Spirit falls prey to her former lover's persuasiveness, again, regardless of his past misgivings (after all, she is on the brink of midlife, teetering on the edge of empty-nester-hood, and well aware of the looming solitude). A rekindled romance, coupled with Jace's half-baked decision to trade higher education and long-term soccer aspirations for the affections of an exotic Sevillian Flamenco dancer, would seem Lucas is about to regain control of everything he'd once lost. In a world marred by misogyny and corruption, Spirit's reality erupts into chaos. A desperate mother is catapulted into a blinding reservoir of awareness- forced to grapple with the enigmatic aspects of higher self. To save her son, Spirit must place her trust in forces larger than her wildest imaginings and harness her innate gifts-even the nightmarish ones.
