Download or read book THE JOURNEY written by Niama Leslie Williams, Ph.D. and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-07-11 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be young, Black, female, intelligent, gifted with second sight, on your way to a Ph.D. and in love for the first time? The Journey presents us with exactly this young woman. The pivotal question becomes is she sane and he deceitful, or has she lost her mind? The answer is both. Not an easy, cohesive ride, the narrative thread of an African American female mystic falling deeply in love with a white psychiatrist is complicated by a gently suggested history of abuse, graduate school, and the subtle racism of still largely white academia. The Journey strokes the American psyche from within a very personal story of love and vision: she is in love; he is not, but he leads her in a merry dance, never quite revealing what emotion lies behind his warm brown eyes.

Download or read book She Called Herself Jess written by Joann Pfeifer and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When her beloved daughter, Jessie, took her life three weeks before graduating college, it left the family and all who knew Jessie stunned. Jessie was a vivacious, privileged child who was dearly loved, and she was raised by a loving village, but even that was not enough to get Jessie through her darkest night. Jessie's mom had written letters to her daughter beginning at her birth and decided to share Jessie with the world after her daughter's death. Suicide needs to be brought out of the shadows and talked about with all young adults. Anyone who chooses death over life needs to be fully aware of the destruction that they will leave behind. Suicide is not romantic. Suicide means that you will never walk on this earth again with those who love you. Proceeds from this book will be shared with nonprofit organizations which Jessie would have wanted to support: animals, conservation efforts, children, national parks, and-one that her mom wants to support-suicide prevention.

Download or read book Looking Back written by Bob Greeley and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-07-14 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I started this project about a year ago, with the intent to show some of my life experiences of fifty-five years to whoever decides to read this book. I started out as a very naive, innocent fourteen-year-old boy not knowing what life held in store for me. I never finished my second year of high school as my father passed away and being the only male in our family (I have three great sisters), decided to help run our family business. Along the way, left to deal with some situations I sometimes wondered if I could cope with, it all has helped me to become a better person. If the Lord is willing, and there is interest in this writing, I plan on a sequel about some of the most interesting characters and wonderful people I encountered along my path in life . . .

Download or read book Darwin s First Theory written by Rob Wesson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everybody knows—or thinks they know—Charles Darwin, the father of evolution and the man who altered the way we view our place in the world. But what most people do not know is that Darwin was on board the HMS Beagle as a geologist—on a mission to examine the land, not flora and fauna.Tracing Darwin’s footsteps in South America and beyond, geologist Rob Wesson sets out on a trek across the Andes, repeating the nautical surveys made by the Beagle’s crew, hunting for fossils in Uruguay and Argentina, and explores traces of long vanished glaciers in Scotland and Wales. By following Darwin’s path literally and intellectually, Rob experiences the landscape that absorbed Darwin, followed his reasoning about what he saw, and immerses himself in the same questions about the earth. Upon Darwin’s return from the five-year journey, he conceived his theory of tectonics—his first theory. These concepts and attitudes—the vastness of time; the enormous cumulative impact of almost imperceptibly slow change; change as a constant feature of the environment—underlie his subsequent discoveries in evolution. And this peculiar way of thinking remains vitally important today as we enter the Anthropocene.
