Download or read book Off the Ground written by JR Moores and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2024-11-12 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sympathetic but clear-eyed exploration of Paul McCartney’s work in the 1990s, arguably his most important since the rise of the Beatles. Paul McCartney’s 1990s was an era like no other, perhaps even the most significant decade of his entire career after the 1960s. Following a shakier 1980s, the decade would see McCartney reemerge with greater energy, momentum, and self-belief. JR Moores’s sympathetic but not uncritical new book explores McCartney’s ’90s, with its impressive studio and live albums, colossal tours, unexpected side-projects and imaginative collaborations, forays into classical composition, some new Beatles numbers, and a whole lot more besides. Moores reveals how McCartney’s reputation began to be perceived more generously by the public, and he argues that Macca’s output and activities in the ’90s would uncover more about the person behind them than in any other decade.

Download or read book The Mammoth Who Loved to Paint written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2024-04-13 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mammoth Who Loved to Paint Summary: "The Mammoth Who Loved to Paint," a cute children's book, is about a young mammoth named Marvin who feels alone in a world that values toughness and power more than anything else. Marvin, like the other mammoths in his group, finds that he is very good at painting. This makes him happy and makes him stand out. At the start of the story, Marvin's big, clumsy feet break some bright berries in the forest. He is drawn to a rock with a bright stain from berries that have been crushed. He makes his first painting by spreading the colors with his tail. For Marvin, this is both an exciting and scary time of discovery because he thinks his friends might not be as excited about art as he is. When Marvin meets Ellie, a fellow giant who hides her love of music, he keeps exploring his gift behind closed doors. They become close friends because they help each other out and like the same things. Because of their friendship, which gets stronger over time, Marvin finally gets up the nerve to show his art to the cattle. The story ends with the Full Moon Gathering, a party where the whole community comes together. Marvin chooses to show the herd his art after Ellie tells him to do so. He paints a big, bright picture at the party while Ellie plays a nice song that goes well with his work. The herd is shocked at first, but after being moved by Marvin's painting's beauty and emotion, they start to show their support and thanks for each other right away. The story ends when Marvin's gift is accepted and enjoyed by the group. Marvin and Ellie did a great job and were brave. The old giant tells them that sharing and appreciating their unique gifts makes them very strong. Other mammoths are inspired by Marvin to show off their own hidden skills, which improves the cultural life of the group. "The Mammoth Who Loved to Paint" is a story about friendship, making friends, and finding out who you are. It teaches young readers how important it is to be yourself, have a range of interests, and follow your dreams. Marvin's journey from being alone and scared to being accepted and involved in his community is a powerful reminder that everyone has something special to offer, no matter how strange they may seem. Chapter 1: Marvin's Discovery of Color Marvin was different from the other young mammoths in his group. Littler and nicer, he seemed to be more interested in everything around him. Marvin got lost from his group one bright and sunny morning because he was curious and liked to try new things. Birds singing and leaves rustling were the only sounds you could hear in the woods. He looked around some more and found a bush that stood out from the rest. It was covered in bright red berries that looked so good. As an interested mammoth, Marvin had to touch the strange nuts. He reached out and gave one a soft touch with his trunk. He was shocked when it blew up and bright red juice flew everywhere it touched. The juice had made a pretty, colorful line on the gray rock next to the plant. Marvin was stunned by the beautiful show of colors. It looks like he found a valuable secret inside the common red fruit in there. After making this wonderful find, Marvin had to touch more berries. This time, he swept his big, soft tail through the plants. The red on the rock turned blue, yellow, and green as more berries popped under light pressure. When the colors got close together, they mixed to make new colors like orange, purple, and blue. He swung his tail back and forth, painting the nature scene with each stroke. Marvin was amazed. Marvin learned how much he liked the colors when he used the berries to paint. They were very different from the duller colors of the mammoth group and the normal browns and grays of the forest. His heart was drawn to the bright colors that sparkled in the sun, Marvin thought. Marvin was interested, so he kept trying new things. He squished a lot of berries together to make new colors. He found that some of the berries turned into a happy, bright orange, while others turned into a deep, rich purple. Marvin was thrilled every time he found a new color. Marvin got lost in the berries and forgot how much time had passed. As the sun moved across the sky, it brought out the beauty of his rock art. The colors sparkled in the warm afternoon sun, and Marvin was so happy that he had turned some ordinary berries from the trees into something so beautiful. Marvin thought this was a turning point. He had a hidden love for painting and colors that came easily to him, like how he naturally swung his trunk and blew trumpets. There was, however, a hint of uneasiness. How did those around it see it? Instead of being creative and coming up with new ideas, they valued being big and strong. Even though Marvin knew his new love was special, it brought him a lot of happiness. He was scared, but Marvin decided he couldn't give up drawing, which he had recently become very interested in. He couldn't have ignored the colors or how much happiness they gave him. He made up his mind to come back to this spot with the bright berries and keep painting whenever he could get away from the crowd. When Marvin went back to see his family that day, he felt good inside and his steps were easy. He began to understand a very important truth about himself as he discovered the joys of color and art. He learned that it was okay to be different and that being interested and willing to try new things can sometimes lead to amazing finds. Even though Marvin was small, he had a big heart and an even bigger love for painting. He had a lot of good days ahead of him after this trip. Each color he made was a step toward accepting himself, and each flick of his tail across the stones in the forest was a step toward living out his unique fate. Chapter 2: The First Wisp. Marvin was a big, creative young man who was always coming up with new ideas. Having fun with berries in the woods had made him love colors, and he couldn't wait to try something even better. He found a big, flat rock that looked like it would be great for his first piece of art. Marvin went up to the rock with interest and purpose, and the berries were still dripping down his tail. As Marvin stood in front of the rock, he dug his tail into a new spot of broken berries. Then he started painting very slowly and without much care. With such ease, his tail moved across the rock's surface, leaving behind beautiful color streaks. With each stroke, he drew wavy lines that moved across the rock like bright rivers. Bright blue streaks and bright yellow made a green that looked like it sparkled in the sun. As the color changed from red to purple, Marvin thought of the flowers that bloomed for a short time in the spring. A small bird had flown down to check things out, but Marvin was drawing and didn't see it. The bright colors on the rock caught the bird's eye, and it moved quickly toward it. It got closer when it saw a mammoth using its tail as a brush. With a curious chirp, the bird turned its head to the side to look at Marvin's picture. It asked, "What are you doing?" Marvin stopped, and his tail was an array of colors. He turned around and saw a small bird watching him. Marvin, excited to have an audience, said, "I'm painting! I found these berries and saw that they could make beautiful colors, so I decided to use them to make something special." The bird hopped closer, its little beak opening a little in surprise.
Download or read book A Big Enough God written by Sara Maitland and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Big-Enough God continues the author's literary challenge by offering Christians a path for spiritual journey that encourages belief in a deity that is larger than our imagination. Free from the constraints of doctrine or ecclesiology, the author comes to her task, the joys of revelation, armed with a fresh feminist perspective. Writing as a Christian and a feminist, Maitland approaches the subject of a big-enough God that is beyond gender or image--but not beyond choice--to define theology as the art of telling--and listening to--stories about the divine. If God exists, it is as a being which wishes above all to reveal itself in its work and which labors constantly in its relationships with its creations.

This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who were the world’s most successful pirates, and why? “Interesting and very readable . . . Little clearly knows his subject well.” —International Journal of Naval History More than just simple retellings of tried-and-true stories of buccaneers on the high seas, this book focuses on pirating tactics of the 1500s through the 1800s to give an in-depth view of how pirates functioned through history. Stories of the thirteen most famous pirates as they raid major ships and pillage coastal villages reveal how the pirates approached such invasions—and how they managed to elude authorities and sometimes whole navies. In addition, vivid firsthand descriptions recreate the excitement, fear, and fury of the most famous raids by these outlaws of the ocean. Delving deep to show piracy’s profound impact on trade, politics, military strategy, culture, and individual lives, the book sifts truth from myth, carefully reconstructs the geopolitical context of each story, and analyzes the tactics that brought the pirates glory, or led to their downfall. Also included are archival images gathered from around the world by the author, a former Navy SEAL and consultant on maritime security.
