Book Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere

Download or read book Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere written by Julie T. Lamana and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ten-year-old girl learns the importance of family and community in this tale of love and hope set during the Hurricane Katrina disaster. Armani Curtis can think about only one thing: her tenth birthday. All her friends are coming to her party, her mama is making a big cake, and she has a good feeling about a certain wrapped box. Turning ten is a big deal to Armani. It means she’s older, wiser, more responsible. But when Hurricane Katrina hits the Lower Nines of New Orleans, Armani realizes that being ten means being brave, watching loved ones die, and mustering all her strength to help her family weather the storm. A powerful story of courage and survival, Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere celebrates the miraculous power of hope and love in the face of the unthinkable. Praise for Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere “Lamana goes for and achieves realism here, carefully establishing the characters and setting before describing in brutal detail, beyond what is typical in youth literature, the devastating effects of Katrina—loss of multiple family members, reports of attacks in the Superdome, bodies drifting in the current and less-than-ideal shelter conditions. An honest, bleak account of a national tragedy sure to inspire discussion and research.” —Kirkus Reviews “I recommend the book because I think it does a good job of capturing what life was like in New Orleans both before and after Katrina and because Armani’s journey will give readers a lot to think about and discuss. But parents will want to know that it doesn’t flinch when describing the death and destruction that hit New Orleans during that time and be cautious with younger, sensitive readers.” —Cindy Hudson, author of Book by Book

Book Upside Down Debate  A Deeper Why to Persuasion

Download or read book Upside Down Debate A Deeper Why to Persuasion written by Isaiah McPeak and published by Ethos Publications. This book was released on 2016-06-13 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want to learn to debate without all the jargon (and without losing your soul) Upside Down Debate is for you. You'll be introduced to debate by learning how to listen before you speak, construct a persuasive argument (or "case") for change, connect with your audience, draw on centuries-old wisdom from classical rhetoric, and engage thoughtfully with your opponents. Experienced coaches of both competitive debaters and business clients, Isaiah and Betsy McPeak bring a wealth of debate war stories and real life anecdotes that make Upside Down Debate anything but theoretical. Whether you're a novice, a veteran debater, or a curious outsider to the debate world, you will grasp what it means to master the art of persuasion with one's honor intact. Why "Upside Down?" Communicators often speak from a self-focused perspective--I want to sound good, feel in charge, and get what I want. But this misplaced focus is often the cause of communication breakdowns. Upside Down communication is all about putting your audience first by listening well, thinking well, and only then, speaking well in a disciplined way. You will learn: Multi-format debating: this book teaches value and policy debate at the same time How to build persuading arguments from shared assumptions Six types of arguments that refute at a macro level Six types of arguments that refute at a micro level How to "make a case" for anything, with several alternate structures The deep meaning of the four parts of a debate - topic, sides, audience, and format - with a chapter on each How to transfer debate skills to everyday conversations and business meetings Over 50 examples that illustrate theory with practical experience "The reader will learn not only the building blocks of debate, but more importantly how to debate with integrity and an eye on persuading others in a manner that will serve beyond high school forensics, into college classes, board rooms and even personal relationships." - TJ Harding, champion debate coach "Upside Down Debate does more than just teach you how to debate. It makes the all-too-often overlooked connection between academic debate and real life." - Chris Jeub, Founder and CEO of TrainingMinds.org; educator, author, speaker

Book Bury Us Upside Down

  • Author : Rick Newman
  • Publisher : Presidio Press
  • Release : 2007-12-18
  • ISBN : 0307414701
  • Pages : 497 pages

Download or read book Bury Us Upside Down written by Rick Newman and published by Presidio Press. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They had the most dangerous job n the Air Force. Now Bury Us Upside Down reveals the never-before-told story of the Vietnam War’s top-secret jet-fighter outfit–an all-volunteer unit composed of truly extraordinary men who flew missions from which heroes are made. In today’s wars, computers, targeting pods, lasers, and precision-guided bombs help FAC (forward air controller) pilots identify and destroy targets from safe distances. But in the search for enemy traffic on the elusive Ho Chi Minh Trail, always risking enemy fire, capture, and death, pilots had to drop low enough to glimpse the telltale signs of movement such as suspicious dust on treetops or disappearing tire marks on a dirt road (indicating a hidden truck park). Written by an accomplished journalist and veteran, Bury Us Upside Down is the stunning story of these brave Americans, the men who flew in the covert Operation Commando Sabre–or “Misty”–the most innovative air operation of the war. In missions that lasted for hours, the pilots of Misty flew zigzag patterns searching for enemy troops, vehicles, and weapons, without benefit of night-vision goggles, infrared devices, or other now common sensors. What they gained in exhilarating autonomy also cost them: of 157 pilots, 34 were shot down, 3 captured, and 7 killed. Here is a firsthand account of courage and technical mastery under fire. Here, too, is a tale of forbearance and loss, including the experience of the family of a missing Misty flier–Howard K. Williams–as they learn, after twenty-three years, that his remains have been found. Now that bombs are smart and remote sensors are even smarter, the missions that the Mistys flew would now be considered no less than suicidal. Bury Us Upside Down reminds us that for some, such dangers simply came with the territory.

Book At the End of Holyrood Lane

Download or read book At the End of Holyrood Lane written by Dimity Powell and published by EK Books. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flick is just like any other youngster. She loves to chase butterflies and jump in autumn leaves. But life at the end of Holyrood Lane is often violent and unpredictable due to the constant storms that plague her home, causing her to cringe with dread and flee whenever they strike. Flick tries her best to quell her fears and endure the storms’ persistent wrath until, one day, with nowhere left to hide Flick summons the courage to face her fears by asking for help to overcome them. At the End of Holyrood Lane provides a sensitive glimpse into one aspect of domestic violence and how it can affect young lives. Designed to be visually arresting, emotionally incisive, and ultimately uplifting, it is a tale of anxiety shown through the eyes of a small child with an intense dislike for thunderstorms — a fear shared by many young children. This clever duality of meaning is able to evoke a gentle awareness for young readers who may be suffering their own domestic torment but who are too scared or unsure of how to seek help and shelter from their own storms, whatever their nature. This is the second book by the acclaimed author–illustrator team of Dimity Powell and Nicky Johnston, who specialise in handling difficult subjects with sensitivity and hope.
