Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God knows that we are all sinners, however, He also said that every single one of us has a HOPE. He promised to forgive any sin, if we are willing to repent and try our best not to repeat it. This book teaches what the future holds for the mankind. It also teaches what does the God want. Learn it because knowledge is power. You will then have the power to confront the evil inside you and give you the chance to overpower it. If you overpower the evil inclination inside you, and harness it to work for your benefit, you will be saved. I know that anyone can do it [because God said so]. I know I did. Who is God? What are dreams? What is a human soul? These and many more questions are answered here. The Messiah is about to arrive soon. Invest in yourselves.

Download or read book The World Vs Todd McFarlane written by Daniel Best and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It'd be hard to find anyone interested in comic books and their history who hasn't heard of Todd McFarlane's legal woes, but very few outside of McFarlane's immediate circle know just how many legal fights he was facing as the 1990s closed. Virtually all of McFarlane's court cases came down to three decisions, made by him alone. The first was to name a mobster in his Spawn comic after a hockey player, Tony Twist. The second was to hire Neil Gaiman to write a single issue of Spawn and the third came when he decided to buy all the remaining assets from Eclipse Comics at their bankruptcy sale. The first decision led to the Tony Twist trial, last two choices lead to Neil Gaiman filing suit and, ultimately, winning a portion of the Spawn universe and the hotly sought after, by some, character Miracleman.The Tony Twist trial was the beginning of a long, long period of uncertainty for Todd McFarlane and very nearly brought down the empire that he'd worked so hard to build. At its worst point, McFarlane was fighting to save his companies, to keep his characters and simply to survive. He was facing battles from several fronts, from people he did not previously personally know in the form of Tony Twist, to those whom he'd collaborated with, in the form of Neil Gaiman and also in bankruptcy courts. Clearly the fight that cost him the most, in pure financial terms, was that brought against him by Tony Twist. It would take years, and millions of dollars, to finally resolve. But the fight that potentially hurt him the most, both personally and professionally, was the one brought by Gaiman, as it gave the impression that McFarlane had appropriated characters created by Gaiman (albeit within the confines of the Spawn universe, along with Miracleman - but that's a book in itself) without proper accounting, permission or payments. This, to the comic book industry at large, showed McFarlane to be no better than the corporations that he'd spent years rallying against - Marvel and DC Comics. It would take the better part of two decades before McFarlane would emerge free and clear from these fights. He came out of it battered, bruised, facing charges of hypocrisy and with a serious hit to his reputation, but he wasn't totally beaten. Despite those who wished to see McFarlane fall completely from grace, he emerged relatively intact.

Download or read book William Blake vs the World written by John Higgs and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wild and unexpected journey through culture, science, philosophy and religion to better understand the mercurial genius of William Blake. Poet, artist, and visionary, William Blake is an archetypal misunderstood genius. His life passed without recognition and he worked without reward, often mocked, dismissed and misinterpreted. Yet from his ignoble end in a pauper's grave, Blake now occupies a unique position as an artist who unites and attracts people from all corners of society—a rare inclusive symbol of human identity. Blake famously experienced visions, and it is these that shaped his attitude to politics, sex, religion, society, and art. Thanks to the work of neuroscientists and psychologists, we are now in a better position to understand what was happening inside that remarkable mind and gain a deeper appreciation of his brilliance. His timeless work, we will find, has never been more relevant. In William Blake vs the World we return to a world of riots, revolutions, and radicals; discuss movements from the Levellers of the sixteenth century to the psychedelic counterculture of the 1960s; and explore the latest discoveries in neurobiology, quantum physics, and comparative religion. Taking the reader on a wild adventure into unfamiliar territory, John Higgs places the bewildering eccentricities of a most singular artist into fascinating context. And although the journey begins with us trying to understand him, we will ultimately discover that it is Blake who helps us to understand ourselves.

Download or read book God vs Money Satan and the World written by Bonnell Leon Patrick and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your Actions Speak Louder than Your Words: Hell Is Waiting for You! About This Book: This book will tell you and teach you everything that you need to know about God and his Son and also about Satan and his son. This world has always been dark, and many of us have spent our whole lives walking and living in the dark, because we refuse to turn on that light inside of us. This book will remind many of you where you are headed if you don't open your eyes, and let your light shine so you can see what's in front of you. This book will tell you why Satan is here and why God put us here with Satan. It will tell you why God allows all these good things and bad things to happen to us, or what we think is good but may be bad. And what we think is bad may not be as bad as what we think. This book will tell you and everyone who reads it the reason we treat people the way we do when it comes to hurting someone or helping someone, and why we should love everyone. It will tell you why your husband, your wife, your family, your friends, and everyone you love treat you so bad when you're trying so hard to be good to them, or why they are so good to you no matter how bad you treat them. This book will also show and tell you what to do when you don't know what else to do, and what you should think about when you have nothing but bad thoughts. This book will tell you why the people of this world will try taking everything you got until there's nothing left. It will also tell you why family, friends, and loved ones kill themselves. This world is not what you think it is! It's a fantasy land for the ones who are blind, but it's a death trap for the ones who can see. This book will tell you why 90 percent of the people in this world serving Satan and why only 10 percent truly serve God, it will also tell you everything you need to know about the law, God's laws and Satan laws. And why the people who live by God's laws suffer, and why the ones who obey Satan laws live so well. This book will tell you why our flesh will never heal, and why our Spirit will never die. This book has all the answers to life that you can think of or need to know while living here on earth. But a lot of you may not like the answer that will be given to you, because it's the truth, and a lot of you can't handle the truth because Satan will not let you. It's only because you were not told the truth, which means this world is lost and a lot of you don't really know God. You just think you do! A about This Book: The reason that I choose any title for my books is that the truth will set you free, and also because there's nothing great about no book in the whole wide world if God is not a part of that book. Anyone who writes about God or tells anyone anything about God but does not live for God themselves, there's nothing in this world great about them either. And they all will pay a very heavy price for telling and living a lie. And no one, no matter who you are, no one can spread the good news about God and his Son and receive Money, glory, or praises for their works if it's a gift from God, who lives in heaven. Not even a nation leader who serve the gods of this world, no matter what religion you are, and especially a church leader whom Jesus calls the kings of the earth, who chose to become the enemies of God. And no one can say that they love and honor God if they're living by the evil laws, rules, and regulations of this world. The Bible teaches us that if anyone who has received the gift of God has been chosen by God, all the schools in the world can't teach us anything about God unless he wanted them to know about him. You can't pay for a gift that only God can give, which comes from heaven. Because we are taught by the Holy Spirit, not by man! That's why we give all glory, praises, and honor to God, and our reward is in heaven, not on earth! Satan shouldn't be paying you for something that God gave you, but he does, every day, because if you didn't know, all talent comes from God. And when God gives anyone or has given anyone any kind of talent, it is all good, but the evil and sinful desires of this world have taken that talent that God has given us to serve Satan. Anything that's not good comes from the world, everything that we learn in school about the world comes from the holy spirit, but everyone who chooses to live for the world will become one with the world, and everyone who becomes one with the world are the ones who are caught in the trap of trying to get the best of everything in the world. They go to the best school to get the best jobs or an occupation that pays a lot of Money so they can live a good life here on earth, which brings destruction. They are the ones who are searching for a better career and future here on earth. But I got news for you and everyone who think just like you. There isn't one! Never has been! Life doesn't begin until the time and date that God has already planned. This sinful life is temporary. We are only here to choose the one we want to live our future with, and a lot of us will not have a job, occupation, career, or future because many of you choose to serve Satan and his son and the world! The reason that so many of you have chosen to serve them is because we took God out of the schools, the church buildings, and the world a long, long time ago. Everything we learn from God is a gift from God, which comes from heaven. This is why we can't serve God for Money and we can't serve God with Money and we can't serve God and Money. But there will be very many in hell with Satan because God showed me that this world is very much in love with Money. Everywhere I go, the people are calling out Satan's son name all over the world. (Money, Money, Money, Money, Money, Money, Money.) The church leaders of this world are now using God and his Son as a front to make all kinds of Money from the people who are lost, but why! When some of them want very much and trying very hard to find God and his Son. So if someone receiving Money to make a living by telling you something good or bad that they say God gave them to give to the world to make their life better might not have come from God, who's in heaven. Because there's nothing to laugh or smile about when someone discovers the truth. If the Holy Spirit tells or shows someone that everyone is doing what Satan wants instead of doing what God wants, that along is devastating. How do you explain to your Creator how much you love Money and the world, which are his enemy? If you were told something that you didn't know or were shown something that others can't see will bring tears to anyone's eyes, if only they knew the truth. Every time I leave my house, I walk around with tears in my eyes all day long because I hardly see anyone out there or on TV living for God. I even see church leaders and churchgoers who should be close to God but are now very far from God than anyone; it's because Satan has blinded them all and leading them down the wrong road. It doesn't take an educated person or a lot of books with a lot of educated words to tell the ones who are lost and unfaithful to God where they're headed if they don't turn back to God. It just takes the truth! It takes a true servant that is chosen by God to tell the ones who are lost the truth. The whole truth and nothing but the truth! I am your servant, who was chosen by God, not by man! And I write only what is true to help everyone get through the narrow gate that leads to God. That's more love than anyone can ever give to one another or to anyone in the whole wide world. It's because he's the only way to heaven. This world is now filled with all kinds of temptation that it's almost unstoppable to the flesh. What that means is; if the people of this world are already lost, then so will the ones who are coming in the world will also be lost, because it will be hard for them to see, hear, or understand anything with all this garbage that Satan's people keep coming up with. God said it himself that if he doesn't send his Son soon, Satan will have more followers than there are grains of sand along the beach. And now until this day, Satan has more followers than man can count. But God knows every last one by name. And if you or your family, friends, and loved ones choose to live for the world, most likely the names of everyone you love may be among that list. This book will give you the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of true life, a life that only a few have ever experienced outside the flesh here on earth. But to get this gift, you will have to give up the world and everything that belongs to the world for God, the greatest love of all. So please, before you read this book, I would like to ask you to go somewhere private in your home or somewhere that you won't be interrupted, because you will need to focus on the gift that the Holy Spirit gives you to fight Satan. Get down on your hands and knees, and from the bottom of your heart, I want you to ask God to give you the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of his will. It may not come right away, but it will come. And also, take a Bible with you that you can understand; we are not here to prove to anyone how smart we are by reading big words that we can't understand. Believe or not, 90 percent of the people in this world can't understand the Bible as it is. If they did, the world wouldn't be in the shape it's in today. People with all the knowledge of the world can't understand the Bible, only the ones that are chosen, to get the Word out. So if you claim to be one of the chosen ones, or a follower of Christ, then do your job! Give up this world and give God your heart, AMEN! To all who call themselves a servant of God who's in heaven? Please quit changing, adding, and taking away what's in God's will. All I ask is for you to correct the ones who do wrong and help the ones who need our help. I write what a lot of people can't see, hear, or understand yet, but the time will come when all shall know God. Sometime it's best to get piss off than to get piss on, I know who you are! Be very careful Satan!

Download or read book Common Sense vs the World written by Ronald J. Plachno and published by Ronald J. Plachno. This book was released on 2022-02-06 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 21st century, we are engulfed by tidal waves and tsunamis of information. Television, Internet, Public Speakers, and other media can either bring us great knowledge that the world has never seen before this time in history, or just give us instead false messages. Business commercials want us to buy their products, and political commercials want our votes. Added to this, some of the media may disagree so much as to say opposite seeming things. Clearly, when some news sources say opposite things, logically they all cannot be right. In fact, it is slightly possible that perhaps none of them are simply correct. How to survive in this confusion and still seek wisdom? While some people will simply believe what they hear, from one source, or multiple sources, others of us want more. And we have something more powerful than the media tidal waves. We can choose to be open minded and to think for ourselves. Many people seem to doubt the power of the human mind, and even their own thinking abilities. However, I find human thinking power often much greater than many people might imagine. There is perhaps more truth, more logic power, more ethics and morality in our own thinking than is easily available in the media. Trust in yourself. While there are some logic examples in this book, they are not the point. You may begin your own thinking, or have better inside information, and reach a different conclusion, and that is more than okay. That gives us thinking people something to discuss respectfully. The important thing is how we each can "Learn how to learn," and then perhaps become continuous students for our entire lives and seek wisdom. I find that people who achieve being open minded and think are often the brightest, the most fun to talk to, and also seldom are given to the disrespect and hate so prevalent in today’s society. And best wishes - Ron Plachno

The book covers five categories of values, including core values, driving values, enabling values, performance values, and the regulating value of moderation.

Download or read book Post45 Vs The World Literary Perspectives on the Global Contemporary written by William G. Welty and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the work done on the Post45 literary field carries an implicitly Americanist perspective. Even the name of the field suggests a certain literary history, with certain assumptions and blind spots about national spaces, identities, and histories. But what would Post45 look like when considered from outside of the United States? How do the current contours of the field exclude certain voices, either in the United States or elsewhere in the world? And how would such new perspectives shift the beginning and possible endpoint of that literary period? What new narratives of the contemporary emerge if we begin telling the story in a different year or from a different national or global perspective? This collection attempts to re-frame the discussions in Post45 by engaging with non-American writers, texts, and perspectives. Additionally, productive conversations emerge by attempting to think of canonical American writers like Mark Twain and Ishmael Reed from other national and global perspectives. The authors consider both the ways texts themselves as well as their reception histories approach and challenge our understandings of the contemporary. Ultimately, the collection interrogates prevailing narratives of history, culture, identity, and space within the Post45 field. In so doing, it re-considers the historical periodization of the field, which currently covers approximately 75 years of literary history. The resulting essays thus work towards a new intertwined narrative about what defines the contemporary and how national and global literatures fit into that moment of world history.

This book was released on 2022-07-21T22:59:00Z with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The English lawyer Henry Crabb Robinson met the English painter and printmaker William Blake at a dinner party in London in 1825. Over the course of the evening, he became fascinated by Blake’s casual conversation about his relationship with the spirit world. #2 Robinson was initially confused by Blake, but he couldn’t bring himself to dismiss him as a simple madman. He felt there was something important and vital about his worldview, even if it was frustratingly obscure. #3 The story of the clash between the world and William Blake seems straightforward. Blake had lacked the ability to respond to the pressures and challenges of contemporary life and society, and as a result, he spent his life impoverished and misunderstood. #4 In 2018, people went to the grave of William Blake to pay their respects to his memory. The Blake Society had raised money for a flat piece of Portland stone, carved by the stonecutter Lida Cardozo Kindersley, which was set into the grass.

Download or read book Man vs Ocean One Man s Journey to Swim The World s Toughest Oceans written by Adam Walker and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-05 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam Walker is not your everyday record-breaking sportsman. He took on arguably the toughest extreme sport on the planet – to swim non-stop across seven of the world’s deadliest oceans wearing only swim trunks, cap and goggles. It is not a test for the faint-hearted. In 2007, Adam, then a toaster salesman, was inspired by a film about a man attempting to change his life by swimming the English Channel to try to emulate the feat. After a year of rigorous training without a coach, Adam achieved his goal in 11 hours 35 minutes, despite a ruptured bicep tendon leading to medical advice to give up long-distance swimming. In 2011, after two operations and a change to his swimming style to take pressure off his injured shoulder, he became the first Briton to achieve a two-way crossing from Spain to Morocco and back. In the process, he broke the British record one way. Shortly afterwards, the Ocean’s Seven challenge was born, a gruelling equivalent to the Seven Summits mountaineering challenge. At first it seemed that injury would prevent Adam from participating but, ignoring medical advice, he developed an innovative technique – the Ocean Walker stroke – that would enable him to continue with the ultimate aim of completing this seemingly impossible feat. Whether man would triumph over ocean, or fail in the attempt, forms the core of this extraordinary autobiography. Always intriguing, sometimes terrifying, and occasionally very funny, Adam’s story is about sport in its truest form: rather than competitions between teams and individuals, it is about man against nature – and against his own failings and demons. In that, it is truly inspirational.
