Book excerpt: A children's book for adults and children alike.Peter the Skeeter is a story about a young mosquito living in Goochland, Virginia. Peter lives at the Pond with his Mama, Papa and 147 brothers and sisters. While playing tag with his two brothers, Peter winds up in the car of the Harlup family (the humans who own the land that the pond sits on) and is on his way to New York City. Peter, who has never left the pond, is confused and scared yet eager to find out what life is like beyond the pond. He has a run in with a truck driver at a rest area, which unknowingly kidnaps Peter in his hat and takes Peter into his truck where he meets a family of fleas. Peter finds his way back to the Harlup's car, with the help of the "flea circus", hoping that if he stays with the Harlup family, they will eventually go home. While Peter is being unwillingly transported to New York, his Papa and two brothers devise a plan to find him and bring him home. Meanwhile, Mama Skeeter, who always watches the TV through the Harlup's kitchen window, hears that a big machine will be spraying mosquito killer throughout New York that very evening Peter will arrive. Upon Peter's arrival to New York, Peter forgets his plan to stay with the Harlups and starts flying towards the bright lights of Broadway. There he bumps into Barbara, a glamorous skeeter actress who becomes very annoyed that this young, country skeeter interrupted her scene. Bernadette, a large skeeter actress with bright red lipstick consoles Peter as Barbara becomes overly dramatic. Sir Frederick, another skeeter actor, introduces himself to Peter and explains to him that he has just met the "world famous Thespian Skeeters of Broadway". While Peter is getting to know the Thespian Skeeters, Papa, Buddy and Tom are exiting the bus into the bustling streets of New York. They quickly realize that their chances of finding Peter in this big city are very slim. They contrive an ingenious method of searching for him without losing each other. Peter again realizes that his only hope of returning home is with the Harlups so he begins a mission to find them. He heads to Central Park, at the direction of the Thespian Skeeters, to see if he could find the Harlups and food. Along the way he encounters a street wino, The West Nile Gang, (a group of rough female skeeters), The Skugs (a group of mobster skeeters from Little Italy), and even his family for a brief moment before being threatened by the deadly mosquito spray truck. Peter was saved at the last minute from the giant truck by a mysterious female skeeter, Sandra. Together they wind up on in the West Village having to hide from the "big machine". There, Peter meets some of Sandra's friends like Al who lives at the 4th Street basketball courts and Begga, a small homeless mosquito. Peter and Sandra campout inside a building at the New York University campus, to stay away from the dangerous poison the giant machine is spraying. Peter is anxious to continue his quest to find a way home but Sandra explains to him that they have to stay in doors until the sun comes up. Always one step behind him, Peter's family continues to track him courageously through the big city while befriending native mosquitoes who offer to help them find Peter. Some of the New York mosquitoes, however, have their own unsavory reasons for helping Papa, Buddy and Tom. Escaping their clutches becomes another of the adventures that all of them must survive to reunite as a family and return to their beloved Virginia pond. Even after the families escape from the giant machine's poison and the Skugs, Sandra and Peter find themselves at the start of another adventure.

Download or read book Trust written by Iyanla Vanzant and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Learning to trust is one of life's most difficult lessons. That’s because trust is not a verb; it’s a noun. But what if the real problem is not that we can’t trust other people; it’s that we can’t trust ourselves?" In this compelling volume, filled with illuminating and heartrendingly powerful stories of broken trust, betrayal, and triumph, Iyanla demonstrates why the four essential trusts—Trust in Self, Trust in God, Trust in Others, and Trust in Life—are like oxygen: without them, none of us can survive. Mastering these four essential trusts requires both a process and a practice: Life gives you the process through your experiences; people provide you the opportunity to practice. Iyanla explores what trust really is and reveals why some of the most shocking trust violations offer us profound opportunities for personal growth and healing. Her pragmatic trust prescriptions—rooted in self-awareness, intuition, communication, and spiritual practice—will challenge you to face your deepest fears and free you to cultivate new levels of increased authenticity, greater resilience, renewed peace, and joy.

Download or read book Race ing Intercultural Communication written by Dreama Moon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Race(ing) Intercultural Communication signals a crucial intervention in the field, as well as in wider society, where social and political events are calling for new ways of making sense of race in the 21st century. Contributors to this book work at multiple intersections, theoretically and methodologically, in order to highlight relational (im)possibilities for intercultural communication. Chapters underscore the continuing importance of studying race, and the diverse mechanisms that maintain racial logics both in the U. S. and globally. In the so-called ‘post-racial’ era in which we live, not only are disrupting notions of colour-blindness crucially important, but so too are imagining new ways of thinking through racial matters. Ranging from discussions of new media, popular culture, and political discourse, to resistance literature, gay culture, and academia, contributors produce incisive analyses of the operations of race and white domination, including the myriad ways in which these discourses are reproduced and disrupted. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of International and Intercultural Communication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Told with humor and affection, String Too Short to Tie tells the story of the powerful ties of land and family. The author, called Dalinda in this memoir, rumbles down the dusty Texas road where she grew up, struggling with ambivalence toward proud family and friends who stayed while she left. Life has changed since the bustling time of the ’50s and ’70s when Buddy Holly was a sensation down the road in Lubbock and her rural town of Tumbleweed bustled with energy, plentiful water, and her beloved farm families prospered. What will she and her classmates have in common as they work to plan their 50th class reunion? How will they feel about the Midwestern teacher she became versus the Texas farm girl they knew? How will she ever work with her headstrong sister to figure out how to honor their family farm? Laugh and cry as Dalinda works to resolve conflicting values over land, entitlement and lifestyle, unearthing small nuggets of delight and redemption that come when each of us tumble back home and remember a time when we were all “raised with guilt and red Jell-O.”

Book excerpt: When fourteen-year-old wannabe cowboy Noah Odell and his widowed mother leave rainy Gold Hill, Oregon, to join Noah’s flamboyant uncle Bud on a ranch in New Mexico, they find themselves in the middle of nowhere with daily temperatures in excess of 100 degrees; enough rattlesnakes, buzzards, and hungry coyotes to start a zoo; a dozen scrawny steers; and a smelly outdoor toilet overrun with black widow spiders. When Bud presents Noah with a cantankerous mule named Brimstone, the adventures begin. Accompanied by his new best friends—an unlikely cowboy philosopher named Marvin Couch and a precocious tomboy prodigy named LaDonna Hawthorne—Noah and his mule encounter some of the Chihuahuan Desert’s strangest characters. Green space monsters, eccentric Apache college professors, jackalopes, royal Spanish ghosts, and an inept gang of local bullies assure that the days are never dull, especially when the U.S. Army lawyers and MPs try to confiscate Bud’s ranch to expand a top-secret rocket-testing facility at nearby White Sands Proving Ground.
