Forced to work with him while he decides the fate of the property she's come to love, she struggles against her own past mistakes, reluctant to accept Robert's effort to define what matters most to him in life. Can Meri and Robert ignore the power of their own attraction? Not when Meri's ex-lover arrives to blackmail her and a shocking catastrophe demands Robert and Meri make choices, for both the property and themselves. You can run but you can't hide.
Download or read book Manifold Mirrors written by Felipe Cucker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most works of art, whether illustrative, musical or literary, are created subject to a set of constraints. In many (but not all) cases, these constraints have a mathematical nature, for example, the geometric transformations governing the canons of J. S. Bach, the various projection systems used in classical painting, the catalog of symmetries found in Islamic art, or the rules concerning poetic structure. This fascinating book describes geometric frameworks underlying this constraint-based creation. The author provides both a development in geometry and a description of how these frameworks fit the creative process within several art practices. He furthermore discusses the perceptual effects derived from the presence of particular geometric characteristics. The book began life as a liberal arts course and it is certainly suitable as a textbook. However, anyone interested in the power and ubiquity of mathematics will enjoy this revealing insight into the relationship between mathematics and the arts.

Book excerpt: Neuropsychologist Offers Hope to Those Struggling with Depression As a board-certified neuropsychologist, Dr. Michelle Bengtson sees the devastation of depression. Early on, she practiced the most effective treatments and prescribed them for her clients. But when she experienced depression herself, she found that the treatments she had recommended were lacking. Her experience showed her the missing component in treating depression. In Hope Prevails, Dr. Bengtson writes with deep compassion, blending her training and faith, to offer readers a hope grounded in God's love and grace. She helps readers understand what depression is, how it affects them spiritually, and what, by God's grace, it cannot do. The result is an approach that offers the hope of release, not just the management of symptoms. For those who struggle with depression and those who want to help them, Hope Prevails offers hope for the future.

Download or read book Japanese Philosophy in the Making Crossing paths with Nishida written by John C. Maraldo and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2. The second of three volumes of essays that engage Japanese philosophers as intercultural thinkers, this collection critically probes seminal works for their historical significance and contemporary relevance. It shows how the relational ethics of Watsuji Tetsurō serves as a resource for new conceptions of trust, dignity, and human rights; how forgiveness empowers the repentance and the sense of responsibility advocated by Tanabe Hajime, and how Kuki Shūzō’s philosophy of contingency puts a fortuitous twist on normative ethics. The author also re-examines the controversy about Kyoto School wartime writings so as to uncover the covert side of today’s empires, and reflects on the hidden consequences of seeing nature as the non-human world. Underlying these investigations is a consistent style that interrogates philosophers for what lies undisclosed and that exposes decisive questions that arise between us and them.

Book excerpt: Crossing paths with a black cat is said to bring bad luck. But crossing paths with The Fox is a whole other story . . . SOME SAY THE FOX IS GOOD LUCK In the mountain village of Fox Crossing, Maine, everyone knows the story of The Fox. According to local legend, one of the town’s founders crossed paths with a curious-looking fox with a distinctive white ear and paw. The unusual fox sighting not only inspired the town’s name, it sparked a fantastical piece of folklore that’s been passed down for generations. Some people say that whoever sees The Fox will be rewarded with good fortune, love, and happiness. Others say it’s just a silly folk tale . . . WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY? Annie Hatherley doesn’t believe The Fox legend—even though it was her great-great-great-grandmother who spotted the critter centuries ago. But now it’s part of Annie’s legacy, along with her family business, Hatherley’s Outfitters. For years, Annie’s been selling gear to hikers on the Appalachian Trail. But she’s never seen The Fox—until now. Out of nowhere, this little white-eared vixen leads her to Nick Ferrone, a woefully unprepared hiker who needs her help. The Shoo Fly Bakery owner also spots the sly creature—who takes him to a homeless dog that needs his love. Annie can’t deny that something magical is happening—because she’s starting to fall for a certain foxy hiker named Nick . . .

Download or read book A Crossing of Paths written by Ron Crisp and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you like first person accounts of true crime stories, you will love this book. I invite the reader to follow me through my investigation of the Leslie Barry murder; the trial of Art Anzures for the murder; the evidence that led me to my 3 suspects; how my investigation of the Barry murder led me to the defense of Angelo Buono in the Hillside Strangler case; and what happened in my personal life as a result of my attempts to expose the systematic cover-up in California V. Angelo Buono. The single most important clue in the case came from the statement of a 14 year old boy on the night of the Barry murder. I wasn't at the crime scene that night, but would read the statement in police reports a week and a half later. When I read it, I was astonished that the police seemed to be showing no interest in this remarkable 16 word statement from a friend of the victim. The cops ignoring evidence that could help crack a case that had baffled them for 18 months, caused me to wonder if they were so stupid they couldn't connect these two simple dots or if something more sinister was going on. A dozen books or more have been written about the Hillside Strangler case, and taking a cue from the books, screenwriters have used the case in movies and TV cop shows to lend an air of credibility to their fictitious story lines. The Irony hasn't escaped me that these writers are using a fiction to give credibility to a fiction. However, these movies and cop shows have kept the myth that Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono were the Hillside Stranglers alive. I've heard rumors that in recent years the LAPD destroyed all the evidence from their Hillside Strangler investigation. If these rumors are true, you can bet the farm that it wasn't done to save space, but to protect the guilty. I've reduce that statement by the 14 year old boy to 4 words and made it the title of this book. A Crossing of Paths is the true story of the Hillside Strangler case.

Book excerpt: Celebrated art critic and curator, Guy Brett is a leading writer who has made a significant contribution to art criticism and curating, in particular to the development of art internationally. From the 1960s onwards he has championed influential and experimental artists across the world through some key exhibitions and publications.The fourteen essays in this book bring together a unique gathering of artists, tracing their diversity and singularity to reveal the uniqueness of each one. Many of these artists make works which arise out of their response to the situation or the environment in which they find themselves, a process that draws on the hundreds of ways people connect, the countless interactions people have in any place, in any medium, and in any real or imaginary way.Brett's writing has a unique tone - lucid and widely researched, free of a narrow academicism. He has published widely in the art press and has produced numerous essays, including those in this book, addressing topics such as the relationship between art and life, ideas about the participation of the spectator, performance art, and the importance of a kind of visual wit to both artists and writers.The Crossing of Innumerable Paths includes essays on Ana Mendieta, Dias & Riedweg, Javier Téllez, Jimmie Durham, Monika Weiss, Len Lye, Gianni Colombo, Liliane Lijn, Gego, Anne Bean, Aubrey Williams, Victor Grippo, Peter Kennard and Lygia Pape.Guy Brett is Curator of the Takis exhibition currently on show at Tate Modern, London (3 July- 27 October 2019).
