Download or read book But That s Absurd written by Gordon John Harrison and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-08-08 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul is an ordinary lad who on waking up on an ordinary day, just cannot talk normally, mouthing occasional words but mostly struck dumb. A diagnosis from a top consultant informs him that his complaint is simply an inability to say out loud any word containing that most common sign in our ABC (it's found twixt "d" and "f"). A not uncommon affliction, as Paul quickly finds out. Coping with this incapacity finds Paul going through many alarming trials and tribulations-a walkout by his girl, a hair-raising trip in a wayward bus, a liaison with a prior Russian spy, implication in purloining a vast hoard of gold, absconding abroad with journalists on his tail and finally coaching high-ranking staff in a Paris Ministry with a similar vocal handicap. A litany you should find amusing-and simply absurd. In writing this ficticious diary (it's known as a "lipogram"on account of its total lack of that "sign") our protagonist has constant support from Oulipo - an actual artisitic organisation promoting such constraints in composition.
Download or read book But That s Ridiculous written by Philip Holt and published by New Wordsworth Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended for people who like to think, discuss, argue. Its theme is human error. Unfortunately this is ever-present; it occurs throughout our history, in all areas. The errors targeted here are quite 'ordinary'. They are ones that can occur to thoughtful people through reading the news, watching TV, going to work, discussion with friends and colleagues, and generally just pondering. Topics discussed range from everyday things like sport, education and transport, to a few more serious subjects like religion and the moral law. Readers will almost certainly have had similar (and no doubt similarly critical) thoughts to the author on some if not all of these matters.Quite often the stance is deliberately controversial, provocative - thinking, or arguing, 'outside the box'. But - as the title implies - an attempt is always made to show that the normal, standard way of looking at things is flawed, irrational. Readers will not always agree with the line taken, but it is hoped that considering the arguments will be challenging and enjoyable.Dr Philip Holt has taught philosophy, mathematics and physics, and is the recipient of the Joad Prize for philosophy. He is the author of a recent book, God: The Case Against, published by Sussex Academic Press.

Kids (like the rest of us) handle change best if they know what to expect, both on a day-to-day basis and long-term. Join Mia and her stuffed giraffe Stuart as they explain changes big and small, and they affect a kid's day-to-day life. Using an illustrated calendar to explain how changes affects a child's daily routine, Nothing Stays the Same But That's Okay focuses on the child's experience and removes unknowns from the equation. "Most of the time we do the same things in the mornings. We wake up. We eat breakfast. (I like apples. Stuart only eats bugs.) . . . But our days can be different. Some days we go to school, and some days are the weekend! We can see the different days on a calendar like this one. When something goes from one thing to being a different thing, it's called a change.".

It aims to empower kids with knowledge, which is proven to help kids through hard situations. Aimed at families with kids ages 4 to 10, this method of teaching is based on decades of solid science about how kids learn and cope with the major day-to-day changes that result from life's toughest stuff.

Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.
Download or read book My Husband Has Died but That S Not the Funny Part written by Debra J. Blood and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-02-19 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Losing her husband Dennis unexpectedly in 2011, at the young age of 47, Debra was faced with handling grief in the only way she knew how, with strength, grace and much laughter. Debra worked through her tears by posting to her husband each day (for one year) on a social media website after his passing. She credits her seeing the light of day by sharing funny stories of their time together and walking through the pain, not alone, but with her ever growing unshakeable faith in God and the resounding love of many who have taken this journey each day with her. Through her stories, her daily blog (thehappywidow.com) and her posts she has used her distinctively unique humor, desire to honor the love of her life, and her ability to tell it like it is to inspire, lift, and encourage others in a way seldom seen. Losing the one you love suddenly is like being put on a roller coaster ride (and I have always hated those). You rise slowly, fall fast, hold on for dear life, and scream not so nice words that you hope those around you didnt hear. But when you get off this ride, while you may not want to buy another ticket, you are so proud of yourself for just being able to say you let go, threw your hands in the air the entire time and you indeed lived through it. You will laugh, you will cry, at time you will pray you never personally know how she truly feels, but after you read this book that was written to her sweet husband Dennis and for her children Timothy and Sarah, you will believe that just maybe there is a way to face death and come out smiling.

Download or read book We re Not Broken written by Eric Garcia and published by Houghton Mifflin. This book was released on 2021 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is a message from autistic people to their parents, friends, teachers, coworkers and doctors showing what life is like on the spectrum. It's also my love letter to autistic people. For too long, we have been forced to navigate a world where all the road signs are written in another language." With a reporter's eye and an insider's perspective, Eric Garcia shows what it's like to be autistic across America. Garcia began writing about autism because he was frustrated by the media's coverage of it; the myths that the disorder is caused by vaccines, the narrow portrayals of autistic people as white men working in Silicon Valley. His own life as an autistic person didn't look anything like that. He is Latino, a graduate of the University of North Carolina, and works as a journalist covering politics in Washington D.C. Garcia realized he needed to put into writing what so many autistic people have been saying for years; autism is a part of their identity, they don't need to be fixed. In We're Not Broken, Garcia uses his own life as a springboard to discuss the social and policy gaps that exist in supporting those on the spectrum. From education to healthcare, he explores how autistic people wrestle with systems that were not built with them in mind. At the same time, he shares the experiences of all types of autistic people, from those with higher support needs, to autistic people of color, to those in the LGBTQ community. In doing so, Garcia gives his community a platform to articulate their own needs, rather than having others speak for them, which has been the standard for far too long.
Download or read book It s Not Where You Start but Where You Finish That Counts written by Rev. Charles W. Quann and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the power of God. God can intercede in any life, and turn it all the way around, regardless of the situation. The power of God that is working in our world today is sometimes overlooked because of all of the poverty, dysfunctional families, and violence we see every day. Yet, we know God moves with a hand of mercy and a heart of love, and brings about miraculous changes in the lives of His people. Faith in God is one of the major factors of this book, such as the ability to rise above ones circumstances and achieve God given goals to break the strongholds of life that have enslaved so many; to really believe that God has the power to work things out according to His way and to His will, and that all things work together to the glory of God to those who put their faith and trust in Him; to gain a deeper knowledge of God as a result of the need to depend upon Him; and to never to give up but to keep on reaching and pressing on.
