Download or read book e Jeanne 2004 Part Two July through December written by Jeanne Halsey and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-02-19 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: e-Jeanne was a precursor of currently popular ?blogs, ? although we called her an ?e-zine.? She was assembled early in the morning (right after my morning devotions ? in fact, I realize that many of my morning devotions somehow crept into the e-Editorials), and then forwarded by e-mail to over 300 people all around the world. I did this two or three days a week for 10 years. Like I said, maybe I am a little crazy. ... 2004 was a lengthy year, filled with commentary about the impending American Presidential Election (yes, George W. Bush won again), fluctuating health issues, and much sharing of prayer requests and praise reports among the faithful and beloved Readers. 2004 was so long that I had to split it into two books; this is Part Two, covering July through December. Like its sister books, e-Jeanne: 2004 (Part Two) comes out looking like a fair-sized phone book; you?ll need strong arms and strong hands to hold it while reading ... and I strongly suggest you have a sturdy bookmark.

Download or read book The Original Guitar Hero and the Power of Music written by Dean Alger and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lonnie Johnson (1894–1970) was a virtuoso guitarist who influenced generations of musicians from Django Reinhardt to Eric Clapton to Bill Wyman and especially B. B. King. Born in New Orleans, he began playing violin and guitar in his father’s band at an early age. When most of his family was wiped out by the 1918 flu epidemic, he and his surviving brother moved to St. Louis, where he won a blues contest that included a recording contract. His career was launched. Johnson can be heard on many Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong records, including the latter’s famous “Savoy Blues” with the Hot Five. He is perhaps best known for his 12-string guitar solos and his ground-breaking recordings with the white guitarist Eddie Lang in the late 1920s. After World War II he began playing rhythm and blues and continued to record and tour until his death. This is the first full-length work on Johnson. Dean Alger answers many biographical mysteries, including how many members of Johnson’s large family were left after the epidemic. It also places Johnson and his musical contemporaries in the context of American race relations and argues for the importance of music in the fight for civil rights. Finally, Alger analyzes Johnson’s major recordings in terms of technique and style. Distribution of an accompanying music CD will be coordinated with the release of this book.

Download or read book Wisdom Song The Life of Baba Amte written by Neesha Mirchandani and published by Roli Books Private Limited. This book was released on 2006-04-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born into privilege and wealth, Murlidhar Devidas Amte was a maverick who wanted to live life to the fullest. He realized early on that he had to live, not for himself, but for others - or else all his privilege, position and superior personal qualities would be mere tinsel. The pioneering commune at Anandwan, where those affected by leprosy could live with dignity and pride; the Bharat Jodo marches across the length and breadth of India to promote national unity and harmony; the decade-long vigil by the Narmada river in solidarity with those at the receiving end of state-sponsored environmental devastation - Baba Amte did this and much more, coping the whole time with a crippling spinal degenerative disease. The countless lives transformed by three generations of the Amte family are shining testimonials to the magnitude of Baba Amte's vision, and the indomitable spirit that made that vision real. With in-depth conversations with Baba, and interviews with many of his close friends and family, this biography is equally a record of the collective memory of those who have known him best. What emerges is an intimate portrait of one of the few individuals of our times who have embodied the cherished ideals of compassion and selfless service.

Download or read book Brothers and Sisters written by Henry Abramovitch and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up, we typically spend more time with our brothers and sisters than we do with our parents. In an age of divorce, mobility, and alienation, the sibling bond is often the only one that really lasts. Given that brothers and sisters are such a fundamental aspect of human existence, it is remarkable that they have received so little in-depth attention in the field of psychology. Henry Abramovitch’s Brothers and Sisters explores the tension between the myth and reality of brothers and sisters in a variety of cultures and through the poignant brother-sister stories in the Bible. Abramovitch looks at the developmental sequence in the sibling relationship as brothers or sisters struggle to find their place with each other, concluding with a very personal account of his own relationship with his brother and sister.

Mark Twain's Literary Resources is a much-expanded examination of Twain's library and readings. Volume I included Gribben's reflections on the work involved in cataloging Twain's reading and analysis of Twain's influences and opinions. This volume, long awaited, is an in-depth and comprehensive accounting of Twain's literary history. Each work read or owned by Twain is listed, along with information pertaining to editions, locations, and more. Gribben also includes scholarly annotations that explain the significance of many works, making this volume of Mark Twain's Literary Resources one of the most important additions to our understanding of America's greatest author.
