Book excerpt: BEFORE WE WERE FIVE Poetry for Children Ages 2 - 5 When writing for 2 to 5 year olds, I try to return my head to when I was 2 to 5. Reading to my grandson from age 1 till he could read himself at 5, was a reminder that books at first are just pictures with scribbles. Then they become friendlier scribbles, 'til one day those scribbles become the words being spoken. For youngsters, books need to be fun the first time they're seen so they'll "read" them time and again. Frank Furlong's playful drawings are a great help. He and I began partnering 30 years ago when our TV commercials led to an Office of Education/HEW contract to make Educational Films. Now retired, "Before We Were Five," is our 3rd children's book, following "Pop-Pop'sMagic Chair," and "The Loch Lomond Monster."

Download or read book The Last Seat in the House written by John Kane and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2020-01-27 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known as the "Father of Festival Sound," Bill Hanley (b. 1937) made his indelible mark as a sound engineer at the 1969 Woodstock Music and Arts Fair. Hanley is credited with creating the sound of Woodstock, which literally made the massive festival possible. Stories of his on-the-fly solutions resonate as legend among festivalgoers, music lovers, and sound engineers. Since the 1950s his passion for audio has changed the way audiences listen to and technicians approach quality live concert sound. John Kane examines Hanley’s echoing impact on the entire field of sound engineering, that crucial but often-overlooked carrier wave of contemporary music. Hanley’s innovations founded the sound reinforcement industry and launched a new area of technology, rich with clarity and intelligibility. By the early seventies the post-Woodstock festival mass gathering movement collapsed. The music industry shifted, and new sound companies surfaced. After huge financial losses and facing stiff competition, Hanley lost his hold on a business he helped create. By studying both his history during the festivals and his independent business ventures, Kane seeks to present an honest portrayal of Hanley and his acumen and contributions. Since 2011, Kane conducted extensive research, including over one hundred interviews with music legends from the production and performance side of the industry. These carefully selected respondents witnessed Hanley’s expertise at various events and venues like Lyndon B. Johnson’s second inauguration, the Newport Folk/Jazz Festivals, the Beatles' final tour of 1966, the Fillmore East, Madison Square Garden, and more. The Last Seat in the House will intrigue and inform anyone who cares about the modern music industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A jaded young lawyer starts a church on a lark, to exploit the growing trend of religious exemptions from common-sense laws. He stumbles into backing from a curmudgeonly billionaire and a powerful K Street law firm, leading to success beyond his wildest dreams. His “Secret Plan,” as he calls it, is to self-destruct by carrying the basic concept of religious privilege that he despises to (and well past) a logical extreme. But the self-destruction unfolds in a way he did not envision, as he is sucked steadily deeper into a quagmire of deceit. Luis Granados, author of Damned Good Company, co-editor of A Jefferson Bible for the Twenty-first Century, and “Rules Are for Schmucks” columnist for TheHumanist.com takes us on a wild ride to a place let’s hope we never reach.

Download or read book Somniloquarry Dreams Drawings written by Kevin Millsap and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As might be expected, the inspiration for this introduction came to me in a dream. Now, finally, I know the book is complete. It represents a long tenacious labor of many small quiet moments collected into a form that I hope you will enjoy. The text holds all the dreams (::) that I have written down. I began that recording process in the spring of 1981 at the age of 22. They span from my fourth year up to my forty-fifth, 1963 to 2004. These are actual nocturnal visions that were given to me in sleep. I have polished on them intensely all spring and feel that they have become a worthy set of image poems. The ink drawings (”) were done while awake. They are grouped to improve the flow of reading. Those sections do mark the moment in time of their actual public showings. Interspersing each of them into its chronological place would not do justice to the hundreds of other things that I have doodled and failed to capture. In total they present the story of a life. The narration and art are only (mostly) from the usually silent unconscious. Mundane events and needs have caused large gaps in the time-line. This work can be seen as a true novel or as an odd autobiography. Each entry is a crumb from my dreaming mind. I welcome you to the feast.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time of the War Mages - humans with magic flowing through their blood - has long passed. While they once determined the outcome of conflicts between rival kingdoms, the industrial revolution has rendered the use of magic on the battlefield unnecessary. And so, they fade away into the background... Damian Spires is a slacker of sorts, content with sliding through life on the odd job of fortifying homes or ridding trees of pesky imps. But when he stumbles upon an unconscious elf in an alley on his walk home from weekly poker night, he faces a variety of questions: Who is this woman? Where did she come from? Is someone looking for her? Focusing on helping the strange woman to adapt to the terrifying new world she finds herself in, Damian decides to protect her from those who seek to do her harm. As they learn more about each other, they discover some truths about themselves as well. What they don't know is that there is another power at play, stalking in the shadows. Someone is responsible for the elven woman entering their world, and they are more ready to expend whatever resources are required to regain their bounty.
