Download or read book Neighbors in Need written by Francis Green and published by Human Rights Watch. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Life's no more than a balancing act, with each of us on stage / No rights or wrongs, ifs, ands or buts; we react and turn the page," writes poet Dennis Gray. His newest work, Thoughts on Life in Rhyme and Sculpture, certainly reveals these thoughts in a meditation on the complexities, joys, and tribulations of being alive--from the stress of traffic to the troubling state of the environment and finding one's purpose amidst the craziness and uncertainty of life in our times. Mr. Gray expresses some "dark and troubling" concerns regarding the human condition and the harmful ways in which men and women treat one another and the environment. Dennis Gray's poetry gives great hope and inspiration, urging people to move beyond their innate tendencies toward selfishness and material greed to enhance their compassion and love for their fellow man. Thoughts on Life in Rhyme and Sculpture is an original, refreshing, and sometimes disconcerting look at life by an artist of great insight, wit, and empathy.

Book excerpt: Based on a popular New York Times Op-Ed piece, this is the quirky, heartfelt account of one man's quest to meet his neighbors--and find a sense of community. **As seen in Parade, USA Today, The Washington Post, The Chicago Sun-Times, and more. **Winner of the Zocalo Square Book Prize, and recently named a first selection by Action Book Club. "It's impossible to read this book without feeling the urge to knock on neighbors' doors." -Chicago Sun-Times Journalist and author Peter Lovenheim lived on the same street in suburban Rochester, NY, most of his life. But it was only after a brutal murder-suicide rocked the community that he was struck by a fact of modern life in this comfortable enclave: No one knew anyone else. Thus begins Peter's search to meet and get to know his neighbors. An inquisitive person, he does more than just introduce himself. He asks, ever so politely, if he can sleep over. In this smart, engaging, and deeply felt book, Lovenheim takes readers inside the homes, minds, and hearts of his neighbors and asks a thought-provoking question: Do neighborhoods matter--and is something lost when we live among strangers?

Download or read book The Ambiguous Figure of the Neighbor in Jewish Christian and Islamic Texts and Receptions written by Marianne Bjelland Kartzow and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-09-12 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines an undertheorized topic in the study of religion and sacred texts: the figure of the neighbor. By analyzing and comparing this figure in Jewish, Christian and Islamic texts and receptions, the chapters explore a conceptual shift from "Children of Abraham" to "Ambiguous Neighbors." Through a variety of case studies using diverse methods and material, chapters explore the neighbor in these neighboring texts and traditions. The figure of the neighbor seems like an innocent topic at the surface. It is an everyday phenomenon, that everyone have knowledge about and experiences with. Still, analytically, it has a rich and innovative potential. Recent interdisciplinary research employs this figure to address issues of cultural diversity, gender, migration, ethnic relationships, war and peace, environmental challenges and urbanization. The neighbor represents the borderline between insider and outsider, friend and enemy, us and them. This ambiguous status makes the neighbor particularly interesting as an entry point into issues of cultural complexity, self-definition and identity. This volume brings all the intersections of religion, ethnicity, gender, and socio-cultural diversity into the same neighborhood, paying attention to sacred texts, receptions and contemporary communities. The Ambiguous Figure of the Neighbor in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic Texts and Receptions offers a fascinating study of the intersections between Jewish, Christian and Islamic text, and will be of interest to anyone working on these traditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes home is the most dangerous place to be. All Cintra Coutinho wants is to win her family back. After she tells her teenage son a despicable lie, her husband asks for a trial separation. She must go six months without a single fib. That’s harder than it sounds for a compulsive liar. Cintra moves in with an old college pal, and befriends the sociable couple next door, who have a young boy staying with them while his mother is “in Europe.” Then she spots a note on their door: “I’m being held” written in a childish scrawl, with a drawing of a boy with a gun to his head. Add in the eerie sounds she hears through their shared wall, and Cintra suspects they’ve kidnapped the boy. To unravel the truth of what’s happening in apartment 3D, Cintra must return to her lying ways. What she discovers proves the most dangerous people can be the ones living right next door. Fans of The Couple Next Door and Behind Closed Doors won’t see this stunning twist coming. Praise for The Neighbors in Apartment 3D: “Mysterious sounds on the other side of a borrowed bedroom wall had me hooked from the get-go. Compelling characters, an unusual diagnosis, and a tightly-woven plot kept me glued to the story and to the protagonist, as she pushed through Brooklyn streets and through the lives of enigmatic neighbors. Twiles does an excellent job of balancing relationships, insights, and suspense, making The Neighbors in Apartment 3D one to read with your lights on and your doors locked.” —Susan Crawford, international bestselling author of The Pocket Wife and The Other Widow “Gripped me so tightly, I didn’t skip over even the most insignificant word.” —Book Rant Reviews “The Neighbors in Apartment 3D kept me guessing throughout the story and I enjoyed the character development as well. I would definitely recommend this one.” —The Towering TBR
