Book excerpt: When a beautiful young Frenchwoman and a brilliant American actor meet in wartime Paris, their love begins like a fairy tale but ends in tragedy. Suddenly orphaned, their three children are cruelly separated. Megan, the baby, adopted by a family of comfortable means, becomes a doctor in the rural Appalachia. Alexandra, raised in lavish wealth, marries a powerful man whose pride is in his pedigree and who assumes that Alexandra is her parents' natural offspring. Neither of them has the remotest suspicion that she is adopted, or what turbulent tragedy lurks in her past. And Hilary, oldest of the Walker children, remembers them all, and the grief that tore them apart and cast them into separate lives. Feeling the loss throughout her life, and unable to find her sisters, she builds an extraordinary career and has no personal life. When John Chapman, lawyer and prestigious private investigator, is asked to find these three women, he wonders why. Their parents' only friend, he did nothing to keep them together as children and has been haunted by remorse all his life. The investigator follows a trail that leads from chic New York to Boston slums, from elegant Parisian salons to the Appalachian hills, to the place where the three sisters face each other and one more final, devastating truth before they can move on.

A pair of runaways are left to endure these and other such tales after stealing away into the night and stowing away in the dank confines of a locomotive freight car.

Kaleidoscope pulls out of the station and moves along rails that carry it from the darkest depths of the netherworld to the wildest wonders in the heavens above, never forgetting to make a few scheduled stops along the way.
Download or read book The American Kaleidoscope written by Lawrence H. Fuchs and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the John Hope Franklin Prize (1991) Winner of the Theodore Saloutos Award from the Immigration History Society (1993) Do recent changes in American law and politics mean that our national motto — e pluribus unum — is at last becoming a reality? Lawrence H. Fuchs searches for answers to this question by examining the historical patterns of American ethnicity and the ways in which a national political culture has evolved to accommodate ethnic diversity. Fuchs looks first at white European immigrants, showing how most of them and especially their children became part of a unifying political culture. He also describes the ways in which systems of coercive pluralism kept persons of color from fully participating in the civic culture. He documents the dismantling of those systems and the emergence of a more inclusive and stronger civic culture in which voluntary pluralism flourishes. In comparing past patterns of ethnicity in America with those of today, Fuchs finds reasons for optimism. Diversity itself has become a unifying principle, and Americans now celebrate ethnicity. One encouraging result is the acculturation of recent immigrants from Third World countries. But Fuchs also examines the tough issues of racial and ethnic conflict and the problems of the ethno-underclass, the new outsiders. The American Kaleidoscope ends with a searching analysis of public policies that protect individual rights and enable ethnic diversity to prosper. Because of his lifelong involvement with issues of race relations and ethnicity, Lawrence H. Fuchs is singularly qualified to write on a grand scale about the interdependence in the United States of the unum and the pluribus. His book helps to clarify some difficult issues that policymakers will surely face in the future, such as those dealing with immigration, language, and affirmative action.
Download or read book Kaleidoscope written by Literary Arts Forum and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-08 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We each have a story to tell and a unique perspective from which to tell it. The same event becomes a thousand different realities when sung by a host of crescendoing voices. Yet, ironically, the sweeping scope of each perspective is equaled only by its familiar undercurrent of commonality. It is this idea of humanity's sameness that is the basis for this book. Kaleidoscope: A Collection of Writings contains a wonderfully diverse body of work from many different authors, yet one essential message comes shining through: that only in a kaleidoscope of being and blending does our life take on purpose and validation. We cannot experience or extend healing in a state of fragmentation. Indeed, transformation comes only to the whole. And of all man's most worthy aims, transformation must be the zenith of tomorrow's horizon.
Download or read book Unleash written by Marv Nelson and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As older church leaders, we’ve been told a million times that the Millennials and Gen Xers who are coming up behind us don’t think like we think. We don’t get it and it frustrates us. Guess what? We need to get over it and let it go. Because, get this: it’s up to us to mentor and empower the generations that follow us into church leadership. Sadly, many of us are doing just the opposite; we’re turning them away. So, not only do we need to let go of our ways of doing things, we need to release our young leaders…release them to be the leaders they know they can be. Unleash provides thought-provoking ideas and practical, real-time examples that will help us learn to know, equip, and expectantly release our younger church leaders into the future with trust and confidence. I am completely weary of dismissive and demeaning articles and books focused on the weak, lazy, entitled character of Millennials and Gen Z.This book is different -- it's helpful and hopeful. I'm glad to have a book to recommend to people leading younger generations into their full capacities - Mark Oestreicher, Partner, The Youth Cartel Marv Nelson knows that unleashing young leaders must come from an accurate awareness of their emotional, mental and spiritual capabilities plus the right amount of equipping, encouragement and trust. This book is a valuable resource. - Michael Frost, author, Surprise the World
Download or read book The Playwrights Kaleidoscope written by Milton Ferreira Verderi and published by Author House. This book was released on 2012-06-04 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Free from the restraints of the structure, convention, and assumptions of realistic drama, these works show us characters with complex proven identities. Theatre in these works is not a slick metaphor for illusion. A theater is the mirror of role-playing and stereotyping gay men experience everyday. It reflects in complex and multinucleate identities of people who have created their affirming persona. These plays can not solve the problems of heterosexism or AIDS, but it can offer a liberating vision of what it means to be gay. The works and story line is what the playwright wishes to convey on the audience as a whole by helping to cause the audience or reader to be moved with thought provoking means to stir the mind to think about this side of life. Wesley L. Crane WE ARE ARTISTS IN A VERGE OF A MADCAP WITH ARTS IN GENERAL Milton Ferreira Verderi Any placetwo people...one speaks, one listensThis is theatre at its most essential, whither gathered around a campfire to tell stories century ago or gathered around the electric light of the most modern play house, it is theatre is all its form and beauty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why another leadership book? The Leader’s Kaleidoscope grapples with this question and leads readers through a compelling narrative that transcends traditional leadership wisdom. What comes to your mind when I say leader or leadership? Traditionally the ideas around leadership revolve around a pattern centered on leadership qualities and outcomes. However, a groundbreaking third dimension is the 'leadership perspective.'

As the book takes readers on a voyage through seven profound perspectives: Diversity, Equity and inclusion, Reimagining Workplace Dynamics, Sustainability, Customer-centricity, Employee Centricity, Work-Life Balance, and Innovation, it offers more than just insights. The book is a kaleidoscope, presenting a vibrant bouquet of perspectives that demand internalization. Navigate the seven interconnected yet independent perspectives at your own pace, and let the final chapter guide you in synthesizing these perspectives into your leadership journey. "The Leader’s Kaleidoscope" isn’t just a book; it's an invitation to embark on an impactful reading experience that transforms your understanding of leadership. Are you ready for the journey?
