Download or read book Welcome to My Country written by Laklak Burarrwanga and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Come and spend some time with us at Bawaka. Get a taste of what it is like at different times of the year, and listen to our stories. Laklak Burarrwanga and family invite you to their Country, centred on a beautiful beach in Arnhem Land. Its crystal waters are full of fish, turtle, crab and stingray, to hunt; the land behind has bush fruits, pandanus for weaving, wood for spears, all kinds of useful things. This country is also rich with meaning. 'We can go anywhere and see a river, hill, tree, rock telling a story.' Here too is Laklak's own history, from her long walk across Arnhem Land as a child to her people's fight for land rights and for a say in their children's schooling. She and her family stand tall, a proud and successful Indigenous community. In the Yolngu world, we have a library in the land. You can't destroy it. If you burn it, it grows again. The land is full of more knowledge than you can imagine. 'Welcome to My Country is a beautifully warm, inviting experience. As soon as I read 'When the moon goes past you can see its reflection (in the water) like the inside of your heart', I knew this would be a very special read. Being immersed in an 'experience' is the way I would describe this book. It is an enticing journey into the heart of Yolngu life, in all its wonder across the physical, artistic and spiritual world. I love the conversational style - we walk, talk and sit down with family on every page. Lovely.' - Ros Moriarty, author of Listening to Country

Download or read book An Irish Country Welcome written by Patrick Taylor and published by Forge Books. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Irish Country Welcome is a charming entry in Patrick Taylor's internationally bestselling Irish Country series. In the close-knit Northern Irish village of Ballybucklebo, it’s said that a new baby brings its own welcome. Young doctor Barry Laverty and his wife Sue are anxiously awaiting their first child, but as the community itself prepares to welcome a new decade, the closing months of the 1960s bring more than a televised moon landing to Barry, his friends, his neighbors, and his patients, including a number of sticky questions. A fledgling doctor joins the practice as a trainee, but will the very upper-class Sebastian Carson be a good fit for the rough and tumble of Irish country life? And as sectarian tensions rise elsewhere in Ulster, can a Protestant man marry the Catholic woman he dearly loves, despite his father’s opposition? And who exactly is going to win the award for the best dandelion wine at this year’s Harvest Festival? But while Barry and Dr. Fingal Flahertie O’Reilly and their fellow physicians deal with everything from brain surgery to a tractor accident to a difficult pregnancy, there’s still time to share the comforting joys and pleasures of this very special place: fly-fishing, boat races, and even the town’s very first talent competition! Welcome back to Ballybucklebo, as vividly brought to life by a master storyteller.

Download or read book Welcome to New Country written by David A. Westbrook and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to New Country shows (as opposed to argues) how and why commercial new country music is a major collective achievement, on par with jazz and the Broadway musical. A traditionally Southern and working class idiom has been transformed into a national and middle class mode of expression that articulates many of the hopes and concerns of life in America today. At its most interesting, new country music is music for the middle: middle class, middle aged, and often in the middle of the country.Welcome to New Country is written for anybody who can follow a serious country song -- which is a lot of people. It is also written sympathetically, as a small contribution to ameliorating some of the divides that run through this nation.Using copious quotation from hits, straightforward explication, and a bit of memoir, the book shows how new country music articulates an American mythos. Country music not only expresses an imaginary (small towns, cars, fields, etc.), but also meditates on life, from birth to death, home to politics to being out on the lake to God.Politically, country music reflects changing ideas of America itself, which may be caricatured as a shift from experiment in self governance to appreciation of American experiences. America is reinventing herself, and this music is a way to start talking, in very plain language, about how.Psychologically, new country music is on occasion what in another context was called existential: it queries, sometimes rather desperately, the significance of often ordinary lives. Indeed, there are a number of country music songs (and a chapter of the book) about "life" itself, and how we stand vis-a-vis our days. Middle aged concerns. So country music is popular and commercial and so forth, but that is not to be confused with unserious.I hope you enjoy the book; it has been a good long journey.

Book excerpt: After many years of researching, studying and learning about simple everyday life situations we go through and listening to others, I finally made it to the point where I’m able to share a more personal look inside of my life and the lives of everyday normal people. As you read, “A Part Of Me, You & Us”, you’ll see life is not always a bed of roses as some would have You to believe, but it is a blessing. As I open up and expose a part of who I really am; a part I’ve kept hidden or at least I thought it was hidden; a part of Me that now wants to speak on its own terms. I realized my blessing isn’t just for Me, it’s also for those who God has brought and will bring into my life to assist Me in their own unique way and share their own stories. You’re going to read about some of the events that have helped Us get to this point in our lives. This is a look inside the minds of a few people who are willing to share their stories with the intent of helping others who may be on similar journeys. These are stories about Me, You and things we did together. That’s how Me and You became US and how our stories came into existence. So, here’s the next step to finding out who we really are and the journeys that got Us here. I hope when You read my book it enlightens your journey. Enjoy!
