Download or read book Waiting For Snow In Havana written by Carlos Eire and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A childhood in a privileged household in 1950s Havana was joyous and cruel, like any other-but with certain differences. The neighbour's monkey was liable to escape and run across your roof. Surfing was conducted by driving cars across the breakwater. Lizards and firecrackers made frequent contact. Carlos Eire's childhood was a little different from most. His father was convinced he had been Louis XVI in a past life. At school, classmates with fathers in the Batista government were attended by chauffeurs and bodyguards. At a home crammed with artifacts and paintings, portraits of Jesus spoke to him in dreams and nightmares. Then, in January 1959, the world changes: Batista is suddenly gone, a cigar-smoking guerrilla has taken his place, and Christmas is cancelled. The echo of firing squads is everywhere. And, one by one, the author's schoolmates begin to disappear-spirited away to the United States. Carlos will end up there himself, without his parents, never to see his father again. Narrated with the urgency of a confession, WAITING FOR SNOW IN HAVANA is both an ode to a paradise lost and an exorcism. More than that, it captures the terrible beauty of those times in our lives when we are certain we have died-and then are somehow, miraculously, reborn.

Download or read book Taking the Top written by Jessie G and published by Jessie G Books Inc. This book was released on with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two men from rival MCs hellbent on revenge. Everyone expects them to fail—not fall in love—but that only makes them more dangerous. Family man, entrepreneur, member of an outlaw motorcycle club—can one man really have it all? Carlos was close but while corruption was destroying Devils Pride, cancer was wreaking havoc on his home, stealing his wife, and leaving him to raise their children alone. Angela was the love of his life and he never thought he could have that with someone else, much less the too-pushy-to-be-serious son of his enemy. Mateo’s life was forever changed the day he watched his mother get gunned down by a rival motorcycle club. Hidden from the world by an angry father and groomed for revenge, pain is the one thing he can rely on. The constant that becomes comfort and strength, and a coping mechanism that becomes less effective with every lash. This isn’t the life he’s meant to lead, but with no way to break free, Mateo has two choices: do what he’s told or die. When a third option presents itself, he isn’t expecting a happy ending. At best, he thinks they can have a moment. A small pocket of time to be seen and accepted, cared for and wanted, by a man strong enough to stop him from doing the unthinkable, while allowing him the revenge he’s more than earned. It would be a solid plan if not for one tiny problem. Mateo didn’t know he was capable of love and Carlos won’t let it be taken from him again.

Book excerpt: After your faith has fractured, let what takes its place be the real thing . . . at last. Somewhere along the way, the Christianity you knew began to crumble. You began to suspect your faith was misplaced. Disillusionment set in. Churches hurt you. Their people failed you. Christian institutions were exposed as fake. And in it all, God was silent. Is He gone? Or is God really there, waiting for you to find Him instead of the counterfeits? If you’re walking this difficult spiritual path, Lina AbuJamra understands you. After experiencing the near deconstruction of her own faith, Lina had to rebuild something more solid when the faith she once knew let her down. With her diagnostic style that comes from her training as an ER doc, Lina helps you grapple with questions like: Where is God in my pain? Is this how Christians are supposed to act? Why did my story end up this way? Is this the normal Christian life? Why is it so hard for Christians to love? Let Fractured Faith help you find your way back to God. You just might discover that the real God has been waiting for you all along.

Download or read book On Becoming a Consumer written by James McNeal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-02-19 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book demonstrates how consumer development is intertwined with cognitive and motor development; each of the three dependent on the other two. Showing consumer behavior being responsible for body and mind development is new thinking; yet, the examples are clearly presented so that any interested person can grasp them. Presenting consumer behavior in stages of development, while logical, is essentially new also. We are familiar with cognitive development, for example, being described in stages, but not CB. In fact, stages of cognitive development are sometimes used as a framework for explaining consumer behavior but not its development as such. In this sense then, the book might be considered cutting edge as compared to one that offers a slightly different approach to the existing thought on consumer behavior.

Download or read book The Aphasia Therapy File written by Sally Byng and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aphasia Therapy Files represent a practical resource for people who work with individuals with aphasia, either as therapists or as researchers. An overview of issues associated with current practices is combined with a study of the practicalities of determining, designing and implementing therapies. This second volume continues to explore the possibility of bridging the gap between therapy in a clinical setting and the practical issues faced by the person living with aphasia. Each author presents one or more of their clinical practices in order to share their therapy experiences and reasoning with others. These contributions provide an insight into the complex issues that face both the practitioner and the person with aphasia, including discussion of subjects such as: Revealing competence and rethinking identity for people with severe aphasia using drawing and a communication book Respecting the rights of a person with aphasia to their own life choices: a longitudinal therapy study A group approach to the long-term rehabilitation of people with acquired head injury within the community Lexical and functionally based treatment: effects on word retrieval and conversation While each of the chapters is of considerable interest on its own, the final chapter offers readers a method of describing and capturing what happens in therapy and why, to enable comparisons between therapies and application by readers themselves. Written by speech and language therapists working in clinical practice, the studies included in this unique resource reflect the realities of everyday practice and will appeal to therapists, students and researchers in aphasia.
