Download or read book Congotronic written by Shane Book and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2014-09 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At once original, strange, funny, and unnerving, Shane Book’s Congotronic takes the reader into unstable territory, where multiple layers of voice, diction, and music collide. Some of these poems have the sparse directness of a kind of bleak prayer; others mingle the earthbound rhythms of hip-hop with the will-to-transcendence of high Romanticism. Harnessing techniques of the cinematic and audio arts, Book’s poems splice, sample, collage, and jump-cut language from an array of sources, including slave narratives, Western philosophy, hip hop lyrics, and the diaries of plantation owners. In fusing disparate texts, each poem in this collection attempts to create a community in language. Thus, at its core, the project is utopic—or more precisely, to borrow from Duke Ellington—the project is “blutopic.” The book’s anchoring series contains an apocryphal narrative grounded in the journey of the Middle Passage and an older mythic history from the West African epic of Sundiata. Here elements of Afrofuturism coagulate with an R&B grin as social forces challenge a sense of personhood, prompting free-jazz inflected conversations between the pieces of a shattered, polyvocal self. Here is a world poet of the Sonic Global South sheathed in a Northern Hemispheric glow suit, high “on Coltrane, on Zeus” but also on the old and new schools of Descartes, M.I.A., Cecil Taylor, Gilbert Ryle, Freud, and Jay Z, among others—or as one poem puts it, the “aural truths.”
Download or read book Dream Teams written by Shane Snow and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning entrepreneur and journalist Shane Snow reveals the counterintuitive reasons why so many partnerships and groups break down--and why some break through. The best teams are more than the sum of their parts, but why does collaboration so often fail to fulfill this promise? In Dream Teams, Snow takes us on an adventure through history, neuroscience, psychology, and business, exploring what separates groups that simply get by together from those that get better together. You'll learn: * How ragtag teams--from soccer clubs to startups to gangs of pirates--beat the odds throughout history. * Why DaimlerChrysler flopped while the Wu-Tang Clan succeeded, and the surprising factor behind most failed mergers, marriages, and partnerships. * What the Wright Brothers' daily arguments can teach us about group problem solving. * Pioneering women in law enforcement, unlikely civil rights collaborators, and underdog armies that did the incredible together. * The team players behind great social movements in history, and the science of becoming open-minded. Provocative and entertaining, Dream Teams is a landmark work that will change the way we think about people, progress, and collaboration.

Download or read book Shane written by Sandra Alex and published by Sandra Alex. This book was released on 2024-12-23 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A broken promise. An ill child. A heartbreaking betrayal. And a Christmas miracle that could save a life and a long-lost love…or risk them both. The day that Shane came back into my life was the day that the sky flew open. His cocky attitude and overinflated ego haven’t changed since high school. Painfully, he’s also still as sexy as he was back then. The problem is, he has no idea the effect that he’s having on me. He’s the perfect distraction from what’s going on. Until he accidentally meets what’s going on behind the scenes. And then he inadvertently learns my secret. I never wanted him to find out that my life isn’t all sunshine and roses. It’s easier letting him think that. But when my life stands before him, right before Christmas, singing carols beautifully, there’s no denying his care and concern, as much as he tries to. And then he tries too much...and it all falls apart. *** I have no interest in Amy beyond work, and that’s only because we’re forced to do projects together. It’s not like I can tell anyone what really happened. And with all this holiday merriment going on, it’s tough to keep a stiff upper lip. Amy and I were supposed to be together forever, until she broke my heart, but I got over it. That’s what I’ve been telling myself. Until I see my own eyes one day in a donut shop, and my whole life flashes before me. With two forces of nature working against me, I try my best to do what’s right, but I never know if I’ve chosen wrong, until it’s too late. And as I stare at the mistletoe wrapped above the hospital bed, I’m still unsure, until I hear a voice...and it isn’t Santa Claus...
