Download or read book Wednesday Wanders written by Mark Bowden and published by Grosvenor House Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-22 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wednesday Wanders is a book about walking; not a guidebook with detailed route descriptions and maps, but the journal of a walker looking to broaden his horizons by seeing what could be achieved with an early start and still be home for tea (or supper more often). Weekly adventures setting out from northwest London to explore some of the long-distance footpaths of southeast England. Written in a light-hearted, humorous, but sometimes thoughtful style, it's a journal of determination and achievement sitting alongside not a little folly, with some inept navigation and unrealistic plans. More importantly, it's about what happened along the way, the fascination of places visited, the people met, the animals encountered, and perhaps most significantly, discovering the unexpected beauty and varied countryside in this corner of the country. Each chapter covers one of the seven routes attempted. Starting with the London LOOP, although this was the last walk completed. Chapter two returns to the beginning with a naïve walker setting out on the first stage of the North Downs Way from Farnham to Guildford on a wet and travel-disrupted day in early November. That chapter finishes five months later, on a bright but windy spring day, along the cliff tops into Dover. Proving that you can indeed complete a long-distance path in day trips. Five more routes are covered: the Ridgeway, Icknield Way Path, the Chiltern Way, Greensand Way, and the Hertfordshire Way. Some walks were interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic or the onset of winter when the days were too short to complete their further reaches, but all were eventually finished. A thousand miles of walking recalled in a diary entry format. Each outing is dated, and the location and mileage given.

Download or read book Advanced Academic English written by Dr Dina Awad and published by Grosvenor House Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-22 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is very helpful for university students because it has short phrases that can be copied directly into essays and term papers. There are no grammatical rules, descriptions or instructions. It is a reference book that can be consulted for any subject, major, or discipline because the language is functional and suitable for essays, reports and literature reviews. It is particularly handy for MA and MSc dissertations. The quick ready-made phrases can be projected by ESL and TESOL teachers as slides for writing and revision sessions. Authors and researchers can also benefit from this handbook if they are not certain about certain expressions or formats. This book is a good practical guide to all university students whose first language is not English, but it is also helpful for native speakers whose writing is usually more casual and informal. Unlike many textbooks and websites that try to explain the rules or overwhelm students with linguistic jargon, the glossary part of the book offers formal and academic alternatives to common everyday English. The glossary can be used as an academic editor that checks drafts after being written. It distinguishes clearly between secondary school writing and the style used at university research level. Since academic English is no one's first language, it is time to identify the unspoken traditions of the writing craft known in higher education.

Book excerpt: The business of life is to live and to live well. But in this day and age we know almost everything about life except how to live it.

Stanley Jones, discover not only how God desires more for us than we could ever think or imagine, but freely gives us that abundant life of body, mind, and spirit. Abundant Living, the sequel to Victorious Living, continues the journey toward extraordinary life through trusting God and self-surrender.

Download or read book The Good Priest written by Tina Beattie and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Father John is the parish priest of Our Lady of Sorrows in Westonville, but when the ordered tranquillity of his life is shattered by a stranger walking into the confessional on Ash Wednesday, he finds himself on a Lenten journey of increasing dread and horror. And when he is confronted with memories of his historic abuse, John discovers that what he thought to be forgiven and forgotten still lurks deep in his memory. A pattern of murders unveils terrifying associations between the stranger’s appearances, John’s own past, and the murders. Could the stranger be the cardinal who abused him during his time in Rome, and who is rumoured to have died in the 9/11 attacks? Is he a ghost emanating from the same world as Sarah, the ghost of a little girl whose benign appearances are a protective presence in John’s life? Or is the man in the confessional not really dead? Through the increasing traumas of Lent, John struggles with the temptations and fears that begin to assail him wherever he turns. The Good Priest is a story of faith and doubt, of real and imagined hauntings, of the epic dramas that lurk beneath the surface of an ordinary Catholic parish, and of the devastating power of violence and terror to rip apart relationships, friendships and loyalties. At once a thriller and a theological exploration, the book takes the reader into a world of altered realities where nothing is quite what it seems...

Download or read book Mock Modernism written by Leonard Diepeveen and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How was the modernist movement understood by the general public when it was first emerging? This question can be addressed by looking at how modernist literature and art were interpreted by journalists in daily newspapers, mainstream magazines likePunch and Vanity Fair, and literary magazines. In the earliest decades of the movement – before modernist artists were considered important, and before modernism's meaning was clearly understood – many of these interpretations took the form of parodies. Mock Modernism is an anthology of these amusing pieces, the overwhelming majority of which have not been in print since the first decades of the twentieth century. They include Max Beerbohm's send-up of Henry James; J.C. Squire's account of how a poet, writing deliberately incomprehensible poetry as a hoax, became the poet laureate of the British Bolshevist Revolution; and theChicago Record-Herald's account of some art students' “trial” of Henri Matisse for “crimes against anatomy.” An introduction and headnotes by Leonard Diepeveen highlight the usefulness of these pieces for comprehending media and public perceptions of a form of art that would later develop an almost unassailable power.

Download or read book Wanderers written by Chuck Wendig and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 962 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A decadent rock star. A deeply religious radio host. A disgraced scientist. And a teenage girl who may be the world’s last hope. From the mind of Chuck Wendig comes “a magnum opus . . . a story about survival that’s not just about you and me, but all of us, together” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). NOMINATED FOR THE BRAM STOKER AWARD • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, NPR, The Guardian, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Polygon Shana wakes up one morning to discover her little sister in the grip of a strange malady. She appears to be sleepwalking. She cannot talk and cannot be woken up. And she is heading with inexorable determination to a destination that only she knows. But Shana and her sister are not alone. Soon they are joined by a flock of sleepwalkers from across America, on the same mysterious journey. And like Shana, there are other “shepherds” who follow the flock to protect their friends and family on the long dark road ahead. For as the sleepwalking phenomenon awakens terror and violence in America, the real danger may not be the epidemic but the fear of it. With society collapsing all around them—and an ultraviolent militia threatening to exterminate them—the fate of the sleepwalkers depends on unraveling the mystery behind the epidemic. The terrifying secret will either tear the nation apart—or bring the survivors together to remake a shattered world.
