But as Jodi struggles to be the mother she knows her daughter deserves, she will ask Khaki the ultimate favor... Written to baby Carolina, by both her birth mother and her adoptive one, this is a story that proves that life circumstances shape us but don’t define us—and that families aren’t born, they’re made... “Dear Carolina is Southern fiction at its best....Beautifully written.”—New York Timesbestselling author Eileen Goudge

Download or read book Words Without Music A Memoir written by Philip Glass and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2015-04-06 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller An NPR Best Book of the Year Winner of the Chicago Tribune Literary Award Finalist for the Marfield Prize, National Award for Arts Writing "Reads the way Mr. Glass's compositions sound at their best: propulsive, with a surreptitious emotional undertow." —Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim, New York Times Philip Glass has, almost single-handedly, crafted the dominant sound of late-twentieth-century classical music. Yet in Words Without Music, his critically acclaimed memoir, he creates an entirely new and unexpected voice, that of a born storyteller and an acutely insightful chronicler, whose behind-the-scenes recollections allow readers to experience those moments of creative fusion when life so magically merged with art. From his childhood in Baltimore to his student days in Chicago and at Juilliard, to his first journey to Paris and a life-changing trip to India, Glass movingly recalls his early mentors, while reconstructing the places that helped shape his creative consciousness. Whether describing working as an unlicensed plumber in gritty 1970s New York or composing Satyagraha, Glass breaks across genres and re-creates, here in words, the thrill that results from artistic creation. Words Without Music ultimately affirms the power of music to change the world.

Some sample entries: ARNOLD is a boy's name which has two anagrams which are also boys' names - ROLAND and RONALD. DESSERTS is the longest word which forms another word when spelled backwards, STRESSED. IGNORAMUS - nowadays, a stupid person, but originally a jury verdict meaning 'we do not know' from the Latin ignoramus. OPOSSUM the only North American marsupial gets its name from the native American Powhatan language where it means white dog. Skunk, coyote, raccoon, moose, woodchuck, and caribou are other animals whose names come from native American tongues.

"I can hardly imagine you falling asleep while reading, but if you do, the proverbs are bound to color your dreams" "The folly of life" is a book of proverbs containing original sayings by Michael F. Kaufmann. This is his third book in this genre, written - upon request, after the success of his first two books. Smile if you can, laugh if can't "The folly of life" presents an ironic and funny outlook on the true nature of life. It addresses a number of different disciplines which will widen and enrich the readers' perspective on reality. Humor is an intrinsic part of Kaufmann's writing and is either presented directly - "If you're dead serious than you're seriously dead", or indirectly - as an advice "if you want to guarantee the popularity of your next book, be sure to insert in it as many flattering photos of its readers". "Like an exquisite drink" The recommendation of the first few readers was to try and resist the temptation of "swallowing" its pages and finishing it in one read. They suggested to treat the book as if it was an exquisite drink which is treasured and tasted in small doses. Thus, to slowly digest the diversity, to challenge the insights, to smile, laugh and enjoy! The book is an easy read intended for readers who can smile with one eye and shed a tear with the other.
