Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Shepard may be the best lesser-known film critic." —The New York Times Book Review The first book of nonfiction from one of our great fiction writers. Given that most Americans proudly consider themselves non-political, where do our notions of collective responsibility come from? Which self-deceptions, when considering ourselves as actors on the world stage, do we cling to most tenaciously? Why do we so stubbornly believe, for example, that our country always means well when intervening abroad? The Tunnel at the End of the Light argues that some of our most persistent and destructive assumptions, in that regard, might come from the movies. In these ten essays Jim Shepard weaves close readings of film with cultural criticism to explore the ways in which movies work so ubiquitously to reflect how Americans think and act. Whether assessing the “high-spirited glee of American ruthlessness” captured in GoodFellas, or finding in Lawrence of Arabia a “portrait of the lunatic serenity of our leaders’ conviction in the face of all evidence and their own lack of knowledge,” he explores how we enter into conversations with specific genres and films—Chinatown, The Third Man, and Badlands among others—in order to construct and refine our most cherished illusions about ourselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reality is that very few of our loved ones will make it through addiction without huge costs. Some of them won t survive, and some of us won t survive to see them come through. I decided to give myself a motto to follow: What I cannot control will not control me. Judy Tomczak faced some heartbreaking experiences in her adult years, but nothing challenged her faith, health and spirit more than her daughter s battle with addictions. Judy faced losing her daughter again and again to the dangerous lifestyle that kept pulling her downwards. The guilt, shame, and fear that a mother feels while watching her child fight this battle is more than anyone can bear alone. This is the story of one mother s struggle to overcome that which she cannot control." "I read Judy s book in one sitting. I couldn t help myself. Her honest, candid description of life as the mother of an (entirely loved) addict drew me in, making me mad, making me laugh, making me hope that this time the change would stick. But it didn t. Over and over again, it didn't. But what did stick is a mother s love in the midst of unconscionable heartache and the Presence of a faithful, loving God whose specialty is healing hearts that seem beyond repair." - Ann Mainse, former co-host of "100 Huntley Street "and founder of" Full Circle. "If all Christian non-fiction writers would dare be this real, they would fill the bestseller lists every year. - Kerry McKibbon, Pastor s wife, Evangel Pentecostal Church, Brantford, Ontario" "This book is a must-read for any person that has had their life turned upsidedown because of a loved one s addiction. As a mother of a daughter with an addiction, Judy bravely outlines this journey and also captures the central role her faith played during this time. - Lindsay Serbu, Family Intervention Specialist/Concurrent Disorders Outreach Team Supervisor, St. Leonard s Community Services Addiction and Mental Health Programs " About the Author Judy Tomczak is the youngest daughter of Rev. Lorne Shepherd, founder of Heart to Heart Family Ministries. Life was relatively calm until her adult years but nothing challenged her faith and well-being more than watching her daughter fight the battle of addiction. Judy has committed herself to being a conversation starter and storyteller to do her small part in lifting the veil of guilt and shame that often surrounds mental illness and addiction. Knowing you are not alone is often the first step in seeking help."
Download or read book Building Seattle s State Route 99 Supertunnel written by Catherine Bassetti and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-20 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building Seattle's State Route 99 Supertunnel: Journey from light to light is a photojournalistic book documenting the building of the State Route 99 deep-bore tunnel in Seattle, Washington-a historical transportation megaproject. 'Bertha' was the largest-diameter Earth Pressure Balance Tunnel Boring Machine at the time of delivery, and this project is the largest-diameter completed tunnel to-date.The underground drive ran beneath the downtown of Seattle for approximately two miles. This project provided the city with a new safe route, replacing the 65-year-old Alaskan Way Viaduct. The Viaduct was a major highway but was damaged during the 2001 Nisqually earthquake and deemed unsafe should future earthquakes occur. Though intended to be completed in two years, the endeavor was complicated as the TBM suddenly halted shortly after starting her journey, due to overheating and damage to the machine. The TBM was rescued from 120 feet below ground, via an Access Shaft. Once repaired, returned underground, and tested, it continued its route until reaching the final exit zone at the North Portal near the Seattle Center complex, on April 4, 2017. Governor Jay Inslee and other officials inaugurated the new SR 99 tunnel with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on February 2, 2019. The Alaskan Way Viaduct, a city fixture for 65 years, was demolished over the summer of 2019. Now the waterfront is unobstructed and plans for the renovation of the area commenced. Catherine Bassetti was the official on-site photographer for the project. This book covers all aspects of this Project from 2014-2019, including six work zones, all major events, and milestones. Also included are interviews with both key personnel and crew members of many trades. It includes narratives from the Labor Union workforce. Statements include those of State officials and major firms responsible for key engineering aspects. This book includes photographs of high quality and unique coverage following both the building of this high profile underground tunnel and the human stories of those who ultimately made it a success. This is a hardcover 'coffee table' First Edition with dust jacket in full color throughout. Concept, design, and photographs by the author, Catherine Bassetti.

Download or read book The Light at the End of the Tunnel written by Shawn Harper and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2006-06-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Light at the End of the Tunnel is a poetic journey that allows the reader into the dark and sorrowful world of the author. The poems in the beginning are sad, depressive, self-loathing, and often bitter and angry. Here the author shares her most personal moments of heartache, depression, self-loathing, and suicide attempts. It is not for the weak of heart. The book then moves into a gray area that is more exploratory of the authors soul. She ponders the color of the sky to the power in the color of a childs eyes and the hold they have over her. Finally, we begin to see a glimmer of hope. There is a light up ahead and she follows it. The reader follows along with the author through love poems and admiration of nature, music, and art to the final poem where, at last, she finds where she belongs.
