Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience the sights and sounds of 1930s Brooklyn and Coney Island through the eyes—and ears—of a hearing boy and his deaf parents. A Brooklyn family takes an outing to Coney Island, where they enjoy the rides, the food, and the sights. The father longs to know how everything sounds. Though his son does his best to interpret their noisy surroundings through sign language, he struggles to convey the subtle differences between the "loud" of the ocean and the "loud" of a roller coaster. When the family drops in at the library after dinner, the boy makes a discovery. Perhaps the words he needs are within reach, after all. Myron Uhlberg's story, based on his own childhood experiences, covers the almost unique topic within children's books of children raised by deaf parents. Ted Papoulas beautifully and sensitively portrays the family's day and brings the whole experience to life for readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * National Bestseller and winner of the 2014 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award * Hailed by Edmund White as "a brilliant new novel" on the cover of the New York Times Book Review * Lauded by Jonathan Franzen, E. L. Doctorow and many others From a global literary star comes a prize-winning tour de force – an intimate portrayal of the drug wars in Colombia. Juan Gabriel Vásquez has been hailed not only as one of South America’s greatest literary stars, but also as one of the most acclaimed writers of his generation. In this gorgeously wrought, award-winning novel, Vásquez confronts the history of his home country, Colombia. In the city of Bogotá, Antonio Yammara reads an article about a hippo that had escaped from a derelict zoo once owned by legendary Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar. The article transports Antonio back to when the war between Escobar’s Medellín cartel and government forces played out violently in Colombia’s streets and in the skies above. Back then, Antonio witnessed a friend’s murder, an event that haunts him still. As he investigates, he discovers the many ways in which his own life and his friend’s family have been shaped by his country’s recent violent past. His journey leads him all the way back to the 1960s and a world on the brink of change: a time before narco-trafficking trapped a whole generation in a living nightmare. Vásquez is “one of the most original new voices of Latin American literature,” according to Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa, and The Sound of Things Falling is his most personal, most contemporary novel to date, a masterpiece that takes his writing—and will take his literary star—even higher.

Download or read book All Things to All People Confessions of a Rebellious Preacher s Son written by Begees McFree and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All Things to All People is an introverted narrative penned by the son of a Gospel preacher and his alter ego, Begees McFree. This playfully written autobiography of a simple, quiet, and peaceable man guides the reader through depression-induced insomniac confessions. Looking deep into the often-hidden places of the heart and mind, these confessions freed the writer from lies and misunderstandings that had been buried deep within. All Things to All People shares the spiritual struggle of a man after a divorce broke apart his life and separated him from his children. Begees uses freewriting to disentangle his poor choices from his good intentions, gaining more selfcontrol and growing closer to God while strenuously pushing unbelief out of his mind.

A joyful moment of reflection on our noisy, cacophonous world.” —School Library Journal Informative and endlessly fascinating, this book makes visible that which we otherwise only hear and feel as vibrations: SOUND. Authors and artists Romana Romanyshyn and Andriy Lesiv achieve a remarkable fusion of a scientific exploration of the phenomenon of sound with a philosophic reflection on its nature that will appeal to inquisitive children looking to learn more about science and how our bodies work. Stunning infographics provoke the reader to listen, learn, and think. Whether it’s hearing noise, music, speech—or silence—no one will come away from these pages without experiencing sound with new ears and a fresh understanding. Winner (with its companion volume, Sight), Bologna Ragazzi Award, Best Nonfiction Book of the Year “This attention-grabbing informational book starts with a bang: a rapid-fire tour of all things sound. Chock-full of whimsical infographics . . . A quiet meditation on hearing, listening, silence, communication, and understanding.” —The Horn Book Magazine “This vibrant picture book is particularly wonderful when the text focuses on music and melody; the music of life is everywhere, from speech to nature, from trombones to gramophones, from rumbling bellies to crying babies. The absence of sound is explored as well—communicating in sign language, meditating, or simply being present in quiet moments with loved ones. . . . A great discussion-starter for elementary school children.” —School Library Journal “A compelling foray into the many aspects of sound.” —Publishers Weekly
