Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Point of It All is a collection of poems grounded in the writer's experiential and vicarious experiences. To the poet, poems are designed to raise, respond and react to points that reach deep into the soul, because therein lies a person's innermost thoughts, emotions and instincts about right and wrong. This poet's vision reflects how deeply she feels about ideas and issues that force humans to question themselves and their behavior. Some of the poems although not intended to be didactic serve as reminders for everyone to be forever conscious of the embedded messages in society that might threaten their values and change their points of emphasis. She offers that it is imperative that everyone must use their voices, poetic or otherwise to forever remain true to their moral vision.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I know I have to answer the call that God has given me, but many times I ask myself, “What's the point!” I contemplate the timing. Relationships with natural and spiritual parents make me wonder if I am worth it. In trying to reach completion with things in life, I have often felt that God has taken His hand off me. As I move past personal limitations, I am able to see the Sovereignty of God; and that being grateful for death and pain is an appropriate spiritual response. In the end and through the strength of God, I will live without the bags that were weighing me down.
Download or read book The Point of It written by John McGreal and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2015-02-28 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Point of It is part of a series of three Artists’ Books that represent three stages of an artistic journey in the years 1995-2006 exploring the dialectic of mark, word and image. A recurrent theme in each is that of surprise. The Point of It describes a further surprise in 1999 involving a shift into the art of punctuation. Prints likewww// where to begin?//.com explore the aesthetic possibilities of the standard marks of punctuation in the space of writing. The emergent concept of The Punctage has facilitated a typology of forms also opening up the affinity of punctuation with musical notation and hence the musicality of textuality. The three books show how working through these stages in visual art was a condition for the spacial writing and reading of both sound and silence in my it to you (2013), The Book of It (2010) as well as In The Face of It (2013).

Download or read book What Is the Point of It All written by Warren Roaf and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-02-09 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a time and interdimensional traveler, Harry Lovely has experienced thousands of strange and exciting events throughout his journey, but nothing prepared him for his current leap into the body of a developing fetus on the planet earth. As he matures, he learns the true nature of his mission and discovers his own purpose for life. As his growth and learning becomes entwined with the ever-present battle of good versus evil, Harry is to play a critical role in the fate of the universe. The world he is born into has become polarized, and the existence of values he had thought were permanent had begun to fade. Who would have thought that concepts like justice, liberty, and even the value of life itself would be replaced by envy, naivete, and a socialized utopia? Will the example of Harry, the final prophet, bring society safely through the pivotal point in time, or will it take the assistance of a mysterious stranger watching from afar to save the day? And if there is a successful outcome, what will be the cost of the sacrifice that is necessary to reach a positive conclusion? What Is the Point of It All will challenge the reader to question one’s own basic values if it is read with an open mind and willingness to see all that exists from another point of view. The author does not claim to have all the answers but invites you to join him on his journey to find them.

Download or read book Martin Creed written by Martin Creed and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive survey of the work and career of London-based artist Martin Creed Renowned for his straightforward approach to making art and his deft economy of means, Martin Creed has produced sculptures, installations, drawings, films, performances, music, and text, each of which has found its inspiration in the objects and activities of everyday life. This extensive volume documents some 800 works produced over twenty years and selected by the artist himself. Always in search of the essential nature of things, Creed uses the simplest materials to create a world in which reality appears transformed by conceptual rules, as well as by the unexpected breaking of those rules. His work is simultaneously subtle and spectacular, austere, and playful—whether it be a sheet of paper crumpled into a ball, a protrusion from the wall, a door opening and closing, the lights going on and off, or a soundtrack inside a moving elevator. Conceived and designed in close collaboration with the artist, the book features a foreword by the artist and accompanying texts by Germaine Greer, Colm Toibin, Barry Humphries, and others, supplemented by an exhibition history, bibliography, and biography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From America’s preeminent columnist, named by the Financial Times the most influential commentator in the nation, a must-have collection of Charles Krauthammer’s essential, timeless writings. A brilliant stylist known for an uncompromising honesty that challenged conventional wisdom at every turn, Krauthammer dazzled readers for decades with his keen insight into politics and government. His weekly column was a must-read in Washington and across the country. Don’t miss the best of Krauthammer’s intelligence, erudition and wit collected in one volume. Readers will find here not only the country’s leading conservative thinker offering a passionate defense of limited government, but also a highly independent mind whose views—on feminism, evolution and the death penalty, for example—defy ideological convention. Things That Matter also features several of Krauthammer’s major path-breaking essays—on bioethics, on Jewish destiny and on America’s role as the world’s superpower—that have profoundly influenced the nation’s thoughts and policies. And finally, the collection presents a trove of always penetrating, often bemused reflections on everything from border collies to Halley’s Comet, from Woody Allen to Winston Churchill, from the punishing pleasures of speed chess to the elegance of the perfectly thrown outfield assist. With a special, highly autobiographical introduction in which Krauthammer reflects on the events that shaped his career and political philosophy, this indispensible chronicle takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the fashions and follies, the tragedies and triumphs, of the last three decades of American life.
Download or read book What s the Bloody Point of it All written by Chris West and published by CWTK. This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘To thine own self be true!’ These words light up the imagination of previously quiet student Stella Tranter in conformist mid-1970s London. Throwing herself into a study of the arts and philosophy, she embarks on a quest to find out exactly what they mean. She reads Nietzsche. She gets into punk. She falls in love. None of these works out quite as expected, however… Maybe what she really wants is just to be grown-up… She settles down in pleasant, tree-lined Dulwich with unimaginative but well-meaning Bobby. Is this really her? Her discontent begins to grow. The opportunity for escape presents itself. It proves irresistible – but costly. Freedom, she discovers, can be lonely and terrifying. It can destroy as well as liberate. This is a snappily written, witty but also serious 40,000 word novella about culture, ideas, love, music (punk and Mozart), making choices, and the fact that authenticity is not an easy option. "Clever, intriguing," said prizewinning novelist Dame Beryl Bainbridge about this book, adding, "Stella is an excellent voice."

Book excerpt: Point processes and random measures find wide applicability in telecommunications, earthquakes, image analysis, spatial point patterns, and stereology, to name but a few areas. The authors have made a major reshaping of their work in their first edition of 1988 and now present their Introduction to the Theory of Point Processes in two volumes with sub-titles Elementary Theory and Models and General Theory and Structure. Volume One contains the introductory chapters from the first edition, together with an informal treatment of some of the later material intended to make it more accessible to readers primarily interested in models and applications. The main new material in this volume relates to marked point processes and to processes evolving in time, where the conditional intensity methodology provides a basis for model building, inference, and prediction. There are abundant examples whose purpose is both didactic and to illustrate further applications of the ideas and models that are the main substance of the text.
