Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After reading this book, you'll be able to walk in the shoes of some of Alaska's most infamous killers and you'll see the things they saw during their brutal, heinous acts. By interviewing and living with these killers, I've been able to walk their bloody trail and listen to their victim's screams. You as a reader can now search for what most police departments are too overwhelmed to notice: the patterns. You'll learn to look beyond the background noise of everyday crimes, of routine blood-shed and begin to see the hot spots. When you live each day with these killers, you begin to see them re-live their gruesome crimes within their own mind; this is what makes the difference between a man convicted of murder and a true murderer.
Download or read book The Voice of Water written by Sue Lovegrove and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Voice of Water is a collection of 30 miniature paintings and poems which celebrate and pay homage to the beauty and ephemeral life of wetlands, by artist, Sue Lovegrove and poet, Adrienne Eberhard. With exquisite attention to detail Lovegrove and Eberhard reveal the fragility and fleeting nature of life at the heart of a lagoon - the embrace of its reaches, the constantly shifting light patterns, its melancholy darkness and the movement of wind imprinting on both water and the feathery expanse of grasses as well as the sound track of place from frog call to the tapping of insect legs and grasses. The intimacy and intensity of the miniature form used throughout the book draws the reader into observing the miniscule things that are often overlooked and unseen while simultaneously evoking a grander scale bringing the vision and experience of water into a micro moment. In our increasingly climate-stressed environment, water is becoming more ephemeral and transient. This book is a timely reminder of the preciousness of wetlands, their richness, fecundity and the life they support, is because of the presence of water.All the miniature paintings are reproduced actual size, either 8 x 12 cm or 8 x 24 cm. The publication is an object of beauty and contemplation that encourages people to slow down and spend time considering the aesthetics of life in water.

Download or read book This Is the Voice written by John Colapinto and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestselling writer explores what our unique sonic signature reveals about our species, our culture, and each one of us. Finally, a vital topic that has never had its own book gets its due. There’s no shortage of books about public speaking or language or song. But until now, there has been no book about the miracle that underlies them all—the human voice itself. And there are few writers who could take on this surprisingly vast topic with more artistry and expertise than John Colapinto. Beginning with the novel—and compelling—argument that our ability to speak is what made us the planet’s dominant species, he guides us from the voice’s beginnings in lungfish millions of years ago to its culmination in the talent of Pavoratti, Martin Luther King Jr., and Beyoncé—and each of us, every day. Along the way, he shows us why the voice is the most efficient, effective means of communication ever devised: it works in all directions, in all weathers, even in the dark, and it can be calibrated to reach one other person or thousands. He reveals why speech is the single most complex and intricate activity humans can perform. He travels up the Amazon to meet the Piraha, a reclusive tribe whose singular language, more musical than any other, can help us hear how melodic principles underpin every word we utter. He heads up to Harvard to see how professional voices are helped and healed, and he ventures out on the campaign trail to see how demagogues wield their voices as weapons. As far-reaching as this book is, much of the delight of reading it lies in how intimate it feels. Everything Colapinto tells us can be tested by our own lungs and mouths and ears and brains. He shows us that, for those who pay attention, the voice is an eloquent means of communicating not only what the speaker means, but also their mood, sexual preference, age, income, even psychological and physical illness. It overstates the case only slightly to say that anyone who talks, or sings, or listens will find a rich trove of thrills in This Is the Voice.
Download or read book The Voice Over written by Maria Stepanova and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maria Stepanova is one of the most powerful and distinctive voices of Russia’s first post-Soviet literary generation. An award-winning poet and prose writer, she has also founded a major platform for independent journalism. Her verse blends formal mastery with a keen ear for the evolution of spoken language. As Russia’s political climate has turned increasingly repressive, Stepanova has responded with engaged writing that grapples with the persistence of violence in her country’s past and present. Some of her most remarkable recent work as a poet and essayist considers the conflict in Ukraine and the debasement of language that has always accompanied war. The Voice Over brings together two decades of Stepanova’s work, showcasing her range, virtuosity, and creative evolution. Stepanova’s poetic voice constantly sets out in search of new bodies to inhabit, taking established forms and styles and rendering them into something unexpected and strange. Recognizable patterns of ballads, elegies, and war songs are transposed into a new key, infused with foreign strains, and juxtaposed with unlikely neighbors. As an essayist, Stepanova engages deeply with writers who bore witness to devastation and dramatic social change, as seen in searching pieces on W. G. Sebald, Marina Tsvetaeva, and Susan Sontag. Including contributions from ten translators, The Voice Over shows English-speaking readers why Stepanova is one of Russia’s most acclaimed contemporary writers.
