Download or read book Mendelssohn is on the Roof written by Jiří Weil and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julius Schlesinger, aspiring SS officer, has received orders to remove from the roof of Prague's concert hall the statue of the Jewish composer Felix Mendelssohn. But which of the figures adorning the roof is the Jew? Remembering his course on racial science, Schlesinger instructs his men to pull down the statue with the biggest nose. Only as the statue they have carefully chosen begins to topple does he recognize that it is not Mendelssohn; it is Richard Wagner. Thus begins a story of disarming simplicity that traces the transformation of ordinary lives in Nazi-occupied Prague. Death abetted by the petty malevolence of Nazi functionaries wins all the battles but ultimately loses the war, defeated by the fragile flowering of courage and defiance.

Book excerpt: This is the book that restarted the James Dean cult by celebrating him as the cool, defiant visionary of pop culture who made adolescence seem heroic instead of awkward and who defined the style of rock ’n’ roll’s politics of delinquency. The only book to fully show how deliberately and carefully Dean crafted his own image and performances, and the product of still unequalled research, vivid writing, intimate photographs, and profound meditation, James Dean: The Mutant King has become almost as legendary as its subject.
Download or read book Beyond Books written by Jenn Carson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-10-28 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Books: Adult Library Programs for a New Era takes us out of the stacks and past the traditional walls of the library to reach underserved and overworked adults in our communities -- adults who might not think they need the library in their lives. Readers are introduced to the concept of adult programming through a multifaceted approach based on a solid foundation of behavioral science, real-life library experience, and data on current trends in libraries and other institutions. This book posits that offering diverse adult programs is an important catalyst for fostering community connection and individual wellness, and that no librarian needs to deliver them alone. Partnerships are not only helpful; they are essential to preventing librarian burnout. Themes of the book center on passive versus active programs, the importance of intergenerational involvement, and programs that touch a variety of topics divided by the following sections: Food & Drink, Arts & Crafts, Books & Writing, Technology & Media, Health & Wellness, Business & Finance, and Nature & Gardening. This book provides clear, step-by-step models and strategies for delivering adult programs (both in-person and online), including where to find funding, getting administrative and municipal buy-in, creating partnerships in the community, addressing possible legal issues, marketing tactics, training staff and volunteers, and how to evaluate programs. Whether you’re a student, a brand new recruit, or a seasoned public or academic librarian, there will be something in this book to inspire you to move your adult library programs beyond book clubs (without losing those too!).

Your father subsequently fails as a parent. How can you then transcend the pain and find meaning in all that has passed? Poignant and honest, Anne Lim’s memoir moves the soul. As you read this evocative text, fresh dimensions will unfold before your eyes and you will be transported to realms of deep understanding.” ~ Verena Tay, writer and storyteller “This work demonstrates the healthful and life-giving power of artistic creation, in particular, the power of the word. ... The search for a personal truth based on but going beyond objective truth, drives this narrative. “ ~ Anne Lee Tzu Pheng Recipient of the Singapore Cultural Medallion, 1985

Book excerpt: Father Noah Godfrey is no stranger to turmoil. A former soldier turned priest and son of an acclaimed exorcist; he struggles to find work. Living life under his father’s shadow is taking its toll on him. He needs money to survive, but with few viable prospects, his chances aren’t looking good. Father Zachariah, a religious zealot, separated St. Agatha’s Church from the church body and reestablished a new physical church in the middle of Texas. His return from a mission trip in Brazil raises questions. The once beloved priest is a shadow of his former self and is believed to have gone mad. Despite his bizarre behavior, he’s amassed a huge following and has taken his evangelism to the airwaves. People have flocked to The Foundation. His captive audience has even gathered an elite group of believers who spend time at the compound. When the congregation draws attention for all the wrong reasons, the Church dispatches Noah to investigate and report back on the validity of the rumors. Soon, Noah finds himself ensnared in what could be the greatest hoax the world has ever seen…or the location for the final showdown between God and the devil himself. Will Noah uncover the horrifying secrets and expose the truth, or will the congregation’s unwavering and deadly loyalty stop him in his tracks?
