Download or read book Who Left That Table There written by Hanoria M C Baranovich and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate aim of this book is to try and raise public awareness of VIPs (visually impaired people). And secondly, to raise much-needed funds for the hundreds of blind societies across the United Kingdom. The book tells about the trials and tribulations that we VIPs have to contend with in our daily life. The book is written from the heart and gives a unique insight to VIPs. The funny things we do, the clangers we drop, gaffes, faux pasyou name it, weve done it! The book shows how resilient VIPs canor, rather, have todeal with our unfortunate impairment. This book was brought about when the author lost her sight and found out just how tough the going was. The anecdotes portray the true extent of the problem, stories told from all ages and creeds, telling of their actual stories. In this book, you will be given an insight as to how VIPs have to live with fact of becoming invisible and the loneliness brought about by the ignorance of the public. I do not think that the public mean to be like they are, but it is through not having any understanding of our dark world. We do very well generally, but it could be so much better without the discrimination and third-rate citizens that we are categorised with and the stigma which goes with our visual impairment. What people think of as a simple task can be a great big problem to VIPs. When you read through this book, I think that it will open peoples eyes and help them appreciate what they have got: sight.

Book excerpt: What makes a nation happy? Is one country's sense of happiness the same as another's? In the last two decades, psychologists and economists have learned a lot about who's happy and who isn't. The Dutch are, the Romanians aren't, and Americans are somewhere in between... After years of going to the world's least happy countries, Eric Weiner, a veteran foreign correspondent, decided to travel and evaluate each country's different sense of happiness and discover the nation that seemed happiest of all. ·He discovers the relationship between money and happiness in tiny and extremely wealthy Qatar (and it's not a good one) ·He goes to Thailand, and finds that not thinking is a contented way of life. ·He goes to the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, and discovers they have an official policy of Gross National Happiness! ·He asks himself why the British don't do happiness? In Weiner's quest to find the world's happiest places, he eats rotten Icelandic shark, meditates in Bangalore, visits strip clubs in Bangkok and drinks himself into a stupor in Reykjavik. Full of inspired moments, The Geography of Bliss accomplishes a feat few travel books dare and even fewer achieve: to make you happier.

Download or read book The City of Grace written by David Wadley and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sweeping appraisal of the urban condition, David Wadley argues that anything less that high-level resolution in modelling the well-being of inhabitants is wasting precious time. Humanity is encountering rising entropy, caused by unsustainable economic and demographic expansion. Supported by a strong interdisciplinary backdrop featuring systems and crisis theories, The City of Grace tackles these obstacles by picturing gracious function and graceful form in a human-scale settlement. In an attempt to salvage things lost in the teleology of urban development over the last 100 years, the outlook is both heterodox and contrarian. How long can we all go on in the present way? In addressing grace, a more elevated concept than those focusing previous urban analyses, this manifesto aims not to placate or please but, instead, to get humanity to face the encompassing realities it tries so hard to forget.

Download or read book Wainwright written by Martin Wainwright and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-06-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wainwright: The Man Who Loved the Lakes is a celebration of the British landscape, and it tells the remarkable story of Alfred Wainwright who in 1952 decided to hand draw a series of guides to the fells of Lakeland. For the next 13 years he spent every weekend walking, and every weekday evening drawing and writing - completing one page per night. The result was Wainwright's Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells. Although initially self published they have now sold over a million copies and are still popular and much loved today. He went on to present a series of TV shows on the BBC about walking in the Lake District that made him even better known. He was an unlikely celebrity, he preferred his own company and thought walking in the countryside should be a solitary rather than group pursuit. Wainwright: The Man Who Loved the Lakes introduces him to a new generation of lovers of the countryside, features some of Wainwright's favourite walks and is lavishly illustrated, including stunning aerial shots of the Lake District.
