Download or read book Reflections on the Name of the Rose written by Umberto Eco and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1984 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book which stems from the author's account of the genesis of his celebrated novel, The Name of the Rose, but which, like the novel itself, goes far beyond the particular. Eco's investigation of the mechanics of fiction expands into a debate that encompasses, in a small space, the workings of the imagination, the responsibilities of the novelist, and the blend of invention, research, and distilled commonsense that goes to make up the modern novel. Along the way, he touches on bad books, ideal readers, historical form, and the metaphysics of the detective story.

Download or read book On Reflection written by Ellen Rose and published by Canadian Scholars’ Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ellen Rose seeks to initiate a much-needed discussion about what reflection is and should be. The word crops up repeatedly in the discourse of teaching and learning, but its meaning is often vague. True reflection -- deep, sustained thought that takes place in conditions of solitude and silence -- has been undermined by new technologies that speed up the flow information and the pace of life, as well as by contemporary schooling that unreflectively embraces technological and market imperatives in the name of outcomes, efficiencies, and the preparation of a global workforce. Drawing on a wide range of thinkers, past and present, Rose outlines the important role reflective thought can play in the classroom and in the world at large, and makes a powerful case for slowing down and returning to our thoughts.

Book excerpt: In this quirky, funny, and moving book, Annie, a wannabe Master Gardener, travels back and forth with us between her present backyard in California and her past growing up in New York City.

Along with some wonderful and some turbulent memories, she is forced to face the demons of her past and present: a difficult childhood with parents from oppressive backgrounds and the alliance she and her three sisters formed to protect themselves from parental conflict; a drawn-out, internal struggle with the idea of marriage; the frustration of trying to turn an unruly yard into her dream garden; and a new, closer relationship with her father upon his retirement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deeply moving novel about a woman who thought she never wanted to be a mother—and the many ways that life can surprise us “An ode to possibility” — The Washington Post Rose Napolitano is fighting with her husband, Luke, about prenatal vitamins. She promised she'd take them, but didn't. He promised before they got married that he'd never want children, but now he's changed his mind. Their marriage has come to rest on this one question: Can Rose find it in herself to become a mother? Rose is a successful professor and academic. She's never wanted to have a child. The fight ends, and with it their marriage. But then, Rose has a fight with Luke about the vitamins--again. This time the fight goes slightly differently, and so does Rose's future as she grapples with whether she can indeed give up the one thing she thought she knew about herself. Can she reimagine her life in a completely new way? That reimagining plays out again and again in each of Rose's nine lives, just as it does for each of us as we grow into adulthood. What are the consequences of our biggest choices? How would life change if we let go of our preconceived ideas of ourselves and became someone completely new? Rose Napolitano's experience of choosing and then choosing again shows us in an utterly compelling way what it means, literally, to reinvent a life and, sometimes, become a different kind of woman than we ever imagined. A stunning novel about love, loss, betrayal, divorce, death, a woman's career and her identity, The Nine Lives of Rose Napolitano is about finding one's way into a future that wasn't the future one planned, and the ways that fate intercedes when we least expect it.
