Download or read book Sour Face written by M. J. Cox and published by Chipmunka Publishing. This book was released on 2008-09 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description Written in the first person, Sour Face is a powerful account of the life of a victim involved in a domestic abusive relationship. As the story progresses the author links various theories of domestic abuse to incidents described in the text, as the victim tires to make sense of what is happening to her. The book attempts to educate the reader regarding the complex psychological issues regarding control and domestic abuse. The book also gives hope as the author relates the transformation of the main character from a victim, in to a survivor of domestic abuse. About the Author Mari Jayne Cox is in her forties and lives in Birmingham. Involvement in a two year turbulent all consuming abusive relationship resulted in the destruction of Mari's confidence and self esteem. In order to combat these feelings of inadequacy Mari discovered writing as a form of therapy. As a result of these notes, plus extensive research of domestic violence and contact with fellow survivors, the manuscript "Sour Face" developed. Mari wrote Sour Face for two reasons. The first one was to help victims realise that that is in fact what they are, victims. The second reason was to raise awareness of an issue that continues to be hidden away in the 21st century by British society. Mari originally trained as a nurse. She now works at a management level within the health care profession.

Book excerpt: "Every great man is a unique". R.W Emerson told us that Self-confidence is always about independence : "What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude."

Download or read book Natural Abundance written by Ralph Waldo Emerson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-03-29 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Ruth L. Miller interprets a few essential essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson that tell us how the world always responds to our thoughts, words, and actions, and what we can do to ensure that our life is truly joy-filled in all aspects. In clear, simple language, she gives us a direct sense of what Emerson felt, saw, and struggled to share with his fellow human beings. Emerson transcended the limitations of his day. Using common sense, a love of nature, and his own particular genius, he expressed a higher truth about who we are and how the world gives us exactly what we demand from it. Yet, perhaps because he was so popular, and because so much of what was popularized focused on the need to transcend materialism and reconnect with Nature, some of his core ideas were lost to later generations. They were there, buried in the long sentences and extended paragraphs of his often-overlooked essays—but were discovered only by the few who were willing to take the time and seek them out. These few became great teachers in their own right, the founders and leaders of institutions and movements that have changed history. Natural Abundance makes the hidden treasures of Emerson’s wisdom accessible to 21st century readers. Through it, this great man’s alignment of his heart’s knowing and his intellect’s understanding can lead all of us to a more abundantly fulfilling life, today.

Book excerpt: Transcendentalism was the first major intellectual movement in U.S. history, championing the inherent divinity of each individual, as well as the value of collective social action.

There are also reflections on the movement by Charles Dickens, Henry James, Walt Whitman, Louisa May Alcott, and Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction by Mary Oliver Commentary by Henry James, Robert Frost, Matthew Arnold, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Henry David Thoreau The definitive collection of Emerson’s major speeches, essays, and poetry, The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson chronicles the life’s work of a true “American Scholar.” As one of the architects of the transcendentalist movement, Emerson embraced a philosophy that championed the individual, emphasized independent thought, and prized “the splendid labyrinth of one’s own perceptions.” More than any writer of his time, he forged a style distinct from his European predecessors and embodied and defined what it meant to be an American. Matthew Arnold called Emerson’s essays “the most important work done in prose.” INCLUDES A MODERN LIBRARY READING GROUP GUIDE
