Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invincible. It was one thing to say that word. It was another thing entirely to actually feel it. Landon Henley is content to do his radio show from his basement despite his family’s attempts to get him to leave his home and rejoin society. Face-to-face encounters are too risky. They might lead to meeting people. To possibly falling in love with people. To potentially losing people in horrible accidents caused by irresponsible drivers. He wouldn’t survive that. Not a second time. Landon’s best option is to hide away and limit his contact with the outside world. That includes getting rid of a puppy who has decided Landon’s backyard is a great place to call her own. A dog is the last thing he needs. Dogs need walks, and he definitely doesn’t do walks. When this pupper crashes Aliza Danahy’s outdoor yoga class, however, the dog won’t be the only one panting. But Aliza isn’t ready to trust another man. Not after divorcing her drug lord of a husband and moving back to Vermont. Her heart has taken a beating, and she’s got the nightmares to prove it. Is one kind walk enough to bring broken hearts back to life?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leah had a plan in place for this new phase of her life and she’d stick to it. Over six feet of Dakota Brenton wasn’t going to change that. Teaching fourth grade at Maplehaven Elementary School deep in the woods of Vermont is Leah Greenstead’s chance to hide and heal. It hurt too much to stay in New York City where every corner café, every friend, every sunrise reminded her of all she’d lost. Some people get to have everything they’ve ever wanted. Some don’t. Leah will stick to her rules about not getting close to anyone—about not falling in love again—and preserve what little is left of her heart. Except Dakota Brenton sets his sights on Leah. Maplehaven’s most beloved adventure guide isn’t easy to resist either. And he knows it. He uses his sense of humor, his charming family, and mathematical dirty talk to make it difficult for Leah to ignore him. Letting him in, however, is a big risk. If she dates him, she might like him. If she likes him, she might love him. If she loves him… she might lose him. Is one kind heart enough to change Leah’s mind about love?

Download or read book Visual Experience written by Wylie Breckenridge and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wylie Breckenridge offers a fresh understanding of the character of visual experience by deploying the methods of semantics. He develops a theory of what we mean by the 'look' sentences that we use to describe the character of our visual experiences, and on that basis develops a theory of what it is to have a visual experience with a certain character. The result is a new and stronger defence of a neglected view, the adverbial theory of perception.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would someone accustomed to the glamour of Hollywood and the bustle of New York think about tiny, simple Maplehaven? Charlene Moyen isn’t looking for a nice guy. With her teasing barbs and badass chopper pilot skills, she needs someone who won’t flinch every time she unleashes her quick wit and daredevil instincts. Unfortunately, Charlie’s small hometown doesn’t have any guys like that. It’s probably for the best. Her parents’ relationship hasn’t provided a rock-solid example of what love is. She wouldn’t even know how to be someone’s true other half. Charlie is an expert at maneuvering her helicopter though. When an opportunity to feature her chopper in a movie being shot locally arises, she enters her name. She never expects to be filming with her favorite action-adventure actor, Austin Rayhill. Austin is surprised as well. He thought having a female pilot in the movie would be a good marketing move, but Charlie proves to be so much more than that. She pulls him out of his Hollywood world and gives him the dose of reality he needs. After Charlie lends a hand to Austin during an accident on set, the off-screen chemistry between them soars. Until Charlie’s extreme flying pokes at the one thing Austin fears most. Is one kind hand enough to bridge two worlds? One Kind Hand is a meeting-your-movie-star-crush, small-town, contemporary romance that features a tomboy heroine and a famous, big-screen hero who have more in common than they realize.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian probably attracted the attention of supermodels. Nicole was no supermodel. She isn’t enough. She isn’t worthy. No one will ever want her. Nicole Travers believes this to her core. Her older sister made sure to remind Nicole of these truths on a daily basis when they were kids. Now, many years later, her sister’s voice still rings in her ears every time a guy catches her eye. She’s better off focusing on waitressing and tending bar. At least she knows how to do those two things. Attracting a soul mate? Forget it. Although watching her best friend meet her true love makes Nicole wish for the same. Too bad she doesn’t have what it takes. When her only option to get to her best friend’s wedding is to accept a ride with sexy farmer Christian Henley, Nicole’s self-doubts heckle her from the back seat. Loudly. But she promised to be the maid of honor, and she’s not going to bail on the bride. Besides, a handsome Vermont mountain man with a body full of muscles won’t even notice someone like her. Except he does, and when Christian comes to her rescue on a busy Boston street, Nicole can’t help noticing everything about him. It’s going to be a long drive. Is one kind soul enough to quiet the voices? One Kind Soul is a one-night-stand, forced-proximity, small-town, contemporary romance that features a bartending heroine and a farmer hero who rescue each other in every sense of the word.

Download or read book Walking written by Tom Jeffreys and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walking surveys the proliferation of pedestrian practices across contemporary art, taking an avowedly political stance on where and how the three practices of art, walking, and writing intersect. Across the world, walking is a vital way to assert one’s presence in public space and discourse. Walking maps the terrain of contemporary walking practices, foregrounding work by Black artists, Indigenous artists and artists of colour, working-class artists, LGBTQI+ artists, disabled artists and neurodiverse artists, as well as many more who are frequently denied the right to take their places in public space, not only in the street or the countryside, but also in art discourse. This anthology contends that, as a relational practice, walking inevitably touches upon questions of access, public space, land ownership, and use. Walking is, therefore, always a political act. Artists surveyed include Stanley Brouwn, Laura Grace Ford, Regina Jose Galindo, Emily Hesse, Tehching Hsieh, Kongo Astronauts, Myriam Lefkowitz, Sharon Kivland, Andre Komatsu, Steve McQueen, Jade Montserrat, Sara Morawetz, Paulo Nazareth, Carmen Papalia, Ingrid Pollard, Issa Samb, Sop, Iman Tajik, Tentative Collective, Anna Zvyagintseva. Writers include Jason Allen-Paisant, Tanya Barson, André Brasil, Amanda Cachia, Sarah Jane Cervenak, Annie Dillard, Jacques Derrida, Dwayne Donald, Darby English, Édouard Glissant, Steve Graby, Antje von Graevenitz, Stefano Harney and Fred Moten, Elise Misao Hunchuck, Kathleen Jamie, Carl Lavery, JeeYeun Lee, Michael Marder, Gabriella Nugent, Isobel Parker Philip, Rebecca Solnit.
Download or read book One Kind of Everything written by Dan Chiasson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-08-15 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Kind of Everything elucidates the uses of autobiography and constructions of personhood in American poetry since World War II, with helpful reference to American literature in general since Emerson. Taking on one of the most crucial issues in American poetry of the last fifty years, celebrated poet Dan Chiasson explores what is lost or gained when real-life experiences are made part of the subject matter and source material for poetry. In five extended, scholarly essays—on Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop, Frank Bidart, Frank O’Hara, and Louise Glück—Chiasson looks specifically to bridge the chasm between formal and experimental poetry in the United States. Regardless of form, Chiasson argues that recent American poetry is most thoughtful when it engages most forcefully with autobiographical material, either in an effort to embrace it or denounce it.
Download or read book The Art of Taking a Walk written by Anke Gleber and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anke Gleber examines one of the most intriguing and characteristic figures of European urban modernity: the observing city stroller, or flaneur. In an age transformed by industrialism, the flaneur drifted through city streets, inspired and repelled by the surrounding scenes of splendor and squalor. Gleber examines this often elusive figure in the particular contexts of Weimar Germany and the intellectual sphere of Walter Benjamin, with whom the concept of flanerie is often associated. She sketches the European influences that produced the German flaneur and establishes the figure as a pervasive presence in Weimar culture, as well as a profound influence on modern perceptions of public space. The book begins by exploring the theory of literary flanerie and the technological changes--street lighting, public transportation, and the emergence of film--that gave a new status to the activities of seeing and walking in the modern city. Gleber then assesses the place of flanerie in works by Benjamin, Siegfried Kracauer, and other representatives of Weimar literature, arts, and theory. She draws particular attention to the works of Franz Hessel, a Berlin flaneur who argued that flanerie is a "reading" of the city that perceives passersby, streets, and fleeting impressions as the transitory signs of modernity. Gleber also examines connections between flanerie and Weimar film, and discusses female flanerie as a means of asserting female subjectivity in the public realm. The book is a deeply original and searching reassessment of the complex intersections among modernity, vision, and public space.

Download or read book A Kind of Magic written by Edna Ferber and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner Edna Ferber's fascinating second autobiography—a follow-up to her first, A Peculiar Treasure—in which she shares the adventures of her life from 1939 to 1963. Rather than just an autobiography, A Kind of Magic serves as a chronicle of American history from 1939-1963 through the eyes of a highly skilled and sensitive observer. A fan of the fine arts, Ferber offers intimate glimpses into the personalities of performers from James Dean to George S. Kaufman, and goes on to share her uncanny knack for having been consistently where the news of the day was breaking. She was in Washington the day President Roosevelt died, in London when the 8th Air Force launched its first long-range daylight raids, at Buchenwald and Nordhausen shortly after their liberation, and—more happily—in Paris on V.E. Day and in New York on V.J. Day. In these pages she recaptures that black-and-white insanity of that war and all wars, as well as the stifling, post-war complecency which gripped America at the time.

Download or read book I See Men as Trees Walking written by Bryan M. Christman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-10-17 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “He took the blind man by the hand . . . and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, ‘Do you see anything?’ He said, ‘I see men, but they look like trees, walking.’ Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again and he saw everything clearly.” Mark’s account of a blind man needing two healing touches from Jesus graphically depicts the stubborn blindness of his disciples. Peter epitomized this blindness when he was tempted by the popular view that Jesus was the Rome-conquering savior of Israel, rather than the suffering Servant of God. Also, the disciples didn’t understand that Jesus miraculously fed the famished crowds with a few loaves and fish to meet immediate need and provide leftover fragments of food for future need. Salvation was pictured for all time. Essentially, Mark’s Gospel gathered “leftovers,” historical fragments of Jesus’ life to convey God’s salvation across history to those Kierkegaard called “the follower at second hand.” Like Peter, disciples and even the crowds are tempted to false “salvations” where self is lost. But ironically, persons only become a self by taking up their own cross, enabled by Jesus’ second touch.
Download or read book Passions of the Earth in Human Existence Creativity and Literature written by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literature reveals that the hidden strings of the human `passional soul' are the creative source of the specifically human existence. Continuing the inquiry into the `elemental passions of the soul' and the Human Creative Soul pursued in several previous volumes of this series, the present volume focuses on the `passions of the earth', bringing to light some of the primogenital existential threads of the innermost bonds of the Human Condition and mother earth. In Tymieniecka's words, the studies purpose to unravel the essential bond between the living human being and the earth - a bond that lies at the heart of our existence. A heightened awareness of this bond should enlighten our situation and help us find our existential bearings.
