Download or read book Gripes Swipes and Giggles written by David Killam and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-05-24 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardly hidden even beneath the thick skin of country vernacular Killams keen intellect and droll Yankee wit repeatedly endorse common sense and practicality. His northern New England sense of humor oft comes across with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Little sympathy is shown for business representatives who after utterly failing to address your problem apologetically proceed to ask if there is anything else they can do for you. Focus recurrently pinpoints the lost art of listening, service personnel who fail to provide service and the irony and diffi culty of communicating via modern technology wielding the capacity but not the brainpower. Fun is poked at our current propensity for serving rules and regulations rather than each other. Yet overriding all is an innate concern and compassion for people, particularly for young folk. In this new collection of poems, essays and stories Killam is quick to evoke tears, pathos, laughter; -----to preach or to ridicule; ----- but above all to entertain.

Download or read book The Kissing Bug written by Daisy Hernandez and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in a New Jersey factory town in the 1980s, Daisy Hernández believed that her aunt had become deathly ill from eating an apple. No one in her family, in either the United States or Colombia, spoke of infectious diseases. Even into her thirties, she only knew that her aunt had died of Chagas, a rare and devastating illness that affects the heart and digestive system. But as Hernández dug deeper, she discovered that Chagas—or the kissing bug disease—is more prevalent in the United States than the Zika virus. After her aunt’s death, Hernández began searching for answers. Crisscrossing the country, she interviewed patients, doctors, epidemiologists, and even veterinarians with the Department of Defense. She learned that in the United States more than three hundred thousand people in the Latinx community have Chagas, and that outside of Latin America, this is the only country with the native insects—the “kissing bugs”—that carry the Chagas parasite. Through unsparing, gripping, and humane portraits, Hernández chronicles a story vast in scope and urgent in its implications, exposing how poverty, racism, and public policies have conspired to keep this disease hidden. A riveting and nuanced investigation into racial politics and for-profit healthcare in the United States, The Kissing Bug reveals the intimate history of a marginalized disease and connects us to the lives at the center of it all.

Download or read book The Winter s Tale Paraphrased written by Curtis Mosley and published by Cambridge Fidelity. This book was released on 2023-09 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Winter's Tale, Paraphrased. This book converts William Shakespeare's famous play into contemporary English. Modern terms and language replace the renowned playwright's antiquated references and phrases. You don't need to dig up obscure expressions to understand the gist of Shakespeare's dialogue. The impact remains intact without all the baggage. This paraphrasing demystifies the archaic lingo of the 1600's but retains the spice of Shakespeare's cut-and-thrust dialogue and raucous comedy. It is easy to read but hard to put down. Additionally, 90 pictures set the stage for the time when kings, queens, and noblemen ruled the land. These vivid images, most of which are masterpieces, frame the successes and failures of the story’s heroes, villains, and fumbling stooges. The old becomes alive, tangible and tasty. You will be refreshed and enlightened to discover this window to the author and his acclaimed tragicomedy. It brings the charm and panache of long ago to modern times. "The Winter's Tale, Paraphrased" is a friend to all who love the stage and entertaining adventures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Church Folk and Second Sunday comes a hilarious and affecting novel about a god-loving, 40-something woman's quest for love. Theresa Elaine Hopson, 46, owner of Miss Thang's Holy Ghost Corner and Church Women's Boutique is puzzled. She can't, for the life of her, figure out why even Baby Doll Henderson, despite her false teeth and her navy-blue-socks-with-yellow-jelly-sandals-wearing self, can find a man and she, Theresa, can't. Theresa's been looking all of her life, and it seems like the only thing she finds are things that need to say lost. Like, for example, her on and off "friend" and sometime escort, the sneaky businessman, Reverend Parvell Sikes. So, when church mother Queen-Esther Green reacquaints Theresa with the older woman's backslidden player nephew, Lamont Green, it seems like the same old story. But this time, Theresa decides to listen to God and what she hears soon brings a smile to her face with the realization that the Holy Ghost has been in her love corner all along.
Download or read book Trailer Girl and Other Stories written by Terese Svoboda and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2001-02-09 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I talk like a lady who knows what she wants” is how the vagrant begins her story in “Trailer Girl”. As she struggles to rescue what she says is a wild girl hiding in the gully, the neighbors become more certain than ever that the child is imaginary--until there’s a murder. Stark and disturbing, “Trailer Girl” is the story of cycles of child abuse and the dream to escape them. In “Psychic”, a clairvoyant knows she’s been hired by a murderer, in “Leadership” a tiny spaceship lands between a boy and his parents, in “Venice”, a woman performs the Heimlich maneuver on an ex-husband, then flees by gondola, and in “White”, a grandfather explains to his grandson how a family is like a collection of chicken parts. Frequently violent, always passionate, these often short short stories are full-strength, as strong and precise as poetry.
Download or read book If Your Monster Won t Go To Bed written by Denise Vega and published by Knopf Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of How to Babysit a Grandpa comes a tongue-in-cheek story that is a step-by-step manual for putting your monster to bed. If you have a monster that won’t go to bed, don’t bother asking your parents to help. They know a lot about putting kids to bed, but nothing about putting monsters to bed. It’s not their fault; they’re just not good at it. Read this book instead. It will tell you what to feed your monster before bed (it’s not warm milk), and what to sing to your monster (it’s not a soothing lullaby), and what to read to your monster to send him off to dreamland in no time (the scarier, the better). Just make sure you don’t get too good at putting monsters to bed—or you might have a BIG problem on your hands! Praise for Zachariah OHora: “The text is pitch-perfect, and the art is its match.” —Chicago Tribune (Wolfie the Bunny) “Picture books with hip, quirky illustrations that are not just funny but also have plenty of heart are hard to find. The stylish My Cousin Momo by Zachariah OHora has it all.” —The Boston Globe (My Cousin Momo) [set star] “OHora’s acrylic paintings are the heart of this tale. They clearly show everyone’s feelings . . . and there are brilliant bits of humor and whimsy.” —School Library Journal, starred review (Wolfie the Bunny) “OHora could paint stones in the street and make them funny.” —Publishers Weekly (My Cousin Momo)
