Whirling through medical and social abysses, Madz opens her eyes to a world of suffering and unsung heroes. If she fights hard enough, she’ll survive.

Download or read book Giuseppe Rocco written by Ronald L. Ruiz and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 1998-03-31 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a penetrating look at our national myth of rags-to-riches success, Ronald Ruiz tells the gripping story of the rise, unification, and decline of two very American families named Rocco and Martinez. Through his self-made scavenger business and a series of shrewd land investments, Italian immigrant Giuseppe Rocco raises himself from nothing to improbable wealth and political influence in northern California. RoccoÍs money and power allow him to possess a bride of high birth and breeding. Although to her he will never be more than a garbage collector, it is through their loveless marriage that Giuseppe Rocco becomes the patriarch of a dynasty of three sons. When her drug-addicted mother disappears, thirteen-year-old Sally Martinez abruptly becomes the matriarch of her family of six younger brothers and sisters. Over the next several years, Sally manages to keep her family fed, clothed and unbroken through a steely determination equal to that of Giuseppe Rocco. When 19-year-old Sally elopes with 18-year-old Joey Rocco, GiuseppeÍs oldest son, RoccoÍs world undergoes a subtle change. But only as he gradually recognizes his daughter-in-lawÍs considerable strengths does he begin to see her as a means to perpetuate his empire. The result is a subtle recasting of AmericaÍs Horatio Alger myth by ña talented, painstaking and intelligent writerî The Houston Post.

Book excerpt: The founder of HowStuffWorks.com uses objectivity, logic, and critical thinking to explore the question of God’s reality in an honest way. Does God exist? Using an intellectually rigorous, scientific approach, Marshall Brain—the founder of HowStuffWorks.com and author of the How Stuff Works series—sets out to resolve the eternal debate once and for all. With a compelling sense of curiosity, he breaks down mankind’s search for a higher power, tackling such quandaries as: Who is God? What are his attributes? What is God doing and why? How does God interact with humanity? And ultimately, how can humans know with certainty whether God is real or imaginary? How “God” Works is an enlightening journey in critical thinking that challenges readers to boldly approach the subject of personal faith and put aside intuition in favor of objectivity and logic. “Takes readers on a journey of critical thinking . . . it is the combination of all the arguments made and the approach to those arguments that make this book so convincing.” —Skeptic Ink “Brain subjects Christianity to withering analysis . . . He is precise and convincing in his analytical process.” —TheHumanist.com
Download or read book Activity and Sign written by Michael H.G. Hoffmann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-03-04 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advancement of a scientific discipline depends not only on the "big heroes" of a discipline, but also on a community’s ability to reflect on what has been done in the past and what should be done in the future. This volume combines perspectives on both. It celebrates the merits of Michael Otte as one of the most important founding fathers of mathematics education by bringing together all the new and fascinating perspectives, created through his career as a bridge builder in the field of interdisciplinary research and cooperation. The perspectives elaborated here are for the greatest part motivated by the impressing variety of Otte’s thoughts; however, the idea is not to look back, but to find out where the research agenda might lead us in the future. This volume provides new sources of knowledge based on Michael Otte’s fundamental insight that understanding the problems of mathematics education – how to teach, how to learn, how to communicate, how to do, and how to represent mathematics – depends on means, mainly philosophical and semiotic, that have to be created first of all, and to be reflected from the perspectives of a multitude of diverse disciplines.

Book excerpt: In the sprawling expanse of the cosmos, Eulǝr a Syganoid holds a mundane but nevertheless sacred duty: safeguarding the Universe Code for Humanity. His world spirals into turmoil when a tear in the fabric of existence reveals missing data from the human file. Now, armed with determination and driven by impending doom, he undertakes a dangerous journey. His destination? The most perilous realm of all: Planet Earth. In a world where alliances are forged and ideologies clash, Eulǝr must navigate a treacherous landscape, stripped of his advanced biomechanics and facing existential threats. His once-mundane task transforms into a race against time, where the stakes are nothing short of the annihilation of humanity itself. Can he restore the missing data and salvage the very essence of human existence before it's too late? "Starzel" weaves an enthralling tapestry of near-future science fiction, taking you through war-ravaged North American territories and a clash of ideologies that reshapes the course of history. Set against a backdrop of a gas planet's floating domed cities, Mark Bertrand's "Starzel" beckons to readers of speculative fiction and alternative history, reminiscent of the works of Philip K. Dick. This gripping fantasy book saga plumbs into uncharted territories, exploring the horrors of extremism and materialism while uncovering the profound meaning of human life. With a narrative that propels you through uncertainty, "Starzel" is an invitation to voyage into the unknown, where every decision shapes the destiny of not just one man, but the entire universe. The storyline threads around visionary fiction, intricately intertwining themes of political manipulation, feminism, the psychological impact of mass media, post-apocalyptic survival, and enigmatic secret societies subtly shaping the waking world, their influence hidden from all but the most astute observers. "Starzel" is a testament to Mark Bertrand's ability to craft a compelling narrative that probes the depths of human potential and the power of choice. This futuristic adventure book for adults stands out with its thought-provoking themes of epigenetics and unity against suffering. Mark's storytelling prowess captures the essence of the speculative fiction genre, inviting readers into a journey that mirrors our own struggles and triumphs. Fans of dystopian books and space opera will find themselves immersed in a world that leaves an everlasting imprint. Join Eulǝr's race against time to save human history in 'Starzel' – an engrossing sci-fi ride of intrigue and self-discovery! “… extremely clever, and much of the book reads like source code itself; this is, in the main, sci-fi in its purest, geekiest form (and I mean that affectionately, with no offence). Bertrand is a smart, hard-working and intellectual writer.” Matt McAvoy, MJV Literary Author Services “Despite being humanoid but not human, Eulǝr is easy to relate to and someone I ultimately found myself rooting for. The descriptions of his experiences are immersive and extremely well depicted … “Overall, this is a thought-provoking and thoughtful novel that will likely delight lovers of intelligent visionary fiction.” Jamie Michele, Readers Choice
Download or read book I Am from Iceland written by Edith Andersen and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This childhood memoir takes place in Iceland, a country just below the Arctic Circle. It's a story of a girl whose ancestors- farmers, murderers, poets, and priests--can be traced to the ninth century. It's a story about living, laughing, hurting, and growing up. Edith, the youngest of six, was born to an Icelandic mother and a Danish father. Her mother said she was a change-of-life baby; her father said she was an old soul. Early on in life, Edith looked to nature (and candy) for comfort. She found solace in the waves cresting on the Atlantic, the northern lights in the winter sky, wading over glacier rivers, and Esra, her very favorite mountain-always in view. (She could smell chocolate meters away.) Placed in a sanatorium at the age of eight, she had to make a new life for herself. At twelve she looked destined to repeat sixth grade forever. At fourteen, she considered joining the monastery. At sixteen her parents sent her to England to learn English. She learned more. This is a story that will make you laugh, sometimes cry, but a story you will want to read through to the last episode"--P. [4] of cover.
Download or read book Capo written by Peter Watson and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young Sicilian immigrant rises through the ranks of the Mafia in this “mesmerizing” novel that “gives Puzo a run for his money” (Publishers Weekly). Sicily, 1879: After successfully smuggling a severed human ear past the police, Silvio Randazzo completes his dangerous first rite of passage—from peasant boy to Mafia soldier. The ear is a chilling ransom demand from Antonino Greco, Italy’s most famous and feared Mafioso. But it’s not until Randazzo commits his first vendetta killing that he truly “makes his bones” as a worthy member of the society that values honor above all . . . and rewards betrayal with death. New Orleans, 1880: By exterminating the rivals of Angelo Priola—the most powerful gangster in America’s most decadent city—the newly arrived Randazzo makes his mark in the fledgling underworld of his new homeland. As the law closes in on the notorious Greco, and dangerous new players vie for Priola’s territory, the cunning, ruthless, and ever more ambitious Randazzo watches the path clear for his own ascension to the throne of capo—boss of bosses. In the tradition of The Godfather, this “absorbing, historically authentic tale,” inspired by real events, brings to vivid life the bloody and brutal world of the Mafia (The Observer).
