Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning writer, Robert Hillman, has collaborated with one of Australia’s best-known youth outreach workers and social campaigners, to bring his story to the public in that wonderful storytelling style that Robert and Les share. Raised in Braybrook in Melbourne’s Western suburbs, Les has devoted his life to young people doing it tough both in Melbourne’s west and more recently in western Sydney, setting up crucial programs, services and resources to assist youth at risk. His is a success story on many fronts: attracting a dedicated and passionate team who work directly with the young people to bring about individual change; and building a huge public profile to support his work. His personal contact list would be the envy of prime ministers: from politicians to prominent business people to police command to sports champions and CEOs of major sporting codes, to the governor general. In this memoir, Robert goes behind the public knowledge to find out what makes Les tick, where he came from, who and what made him Australia’s number one advocate for our most vulnerable young people. And what of his private life, if he has one at all? Take a journey with one of Australia’s living treasures to the ugliest side of life and to the best.
Download or read book The Mouth That Roared written by Dallas Green and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From profanity-laced clubhouse tirades and outspoken opinions on the state of the game to tears at an emotional funeral for his murdered granddaughter, Dallas Green tells his story for the first time in this autobiography. In his nearly 60 years in baseball as a pitcher; manager of three franchises, including both New York squads, the Mets and Yankees; general manager; and executive, Dallas Green has never minced words or shied away from making enemies. Though many bristled at his gruff style, nobody could argue with the result of his leadership: as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, he led the team to a World Series championship in 1980 and as general manger of the Chicago Cubs, he pulled off one of the most lopsided trades in the history of the sport by dealing journeyman Ivan DeJesus to the Phillies in exchange for Larry Bowa and future Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg. This larger-than-life baseball personality shares insights from the mound, the dugout, and the front office as well as anecdotes of some of the game s biggest stars and encounters with the press, player agents, and the unions. Dallas Green also shares his feelings about his granddaughter, Christina-Taylor Green, who was shot and killed by a deranged stalker in Tucson, Arizona, during an assassination attempt on the life of Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Knowing that the loss of his beloved granddaughter has irrevocably changed him, Green discusses how, in the wake of her death, baseball became a coping mechanism for him."

Download or read book Roar written by Cecelia Ahern and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of P.S., I Love You, a fiercely feminist story collection that illuminates, sometimes in fantastical ways, how women of all kinds navigate the world today—now an Apple TV+ series from the creators of GLOW starring Nicole Kidman, Cynthia Erivo, Merritt Wever, and Alison Brie! In this singular and imaginative story collection, Cecelia Ahern explores the endless ways in which women blaze through adversity with wit, resourcefulness, and compassion. Ahern takes the familiar aspects of women's lives—the routines, the embarrassments, the desires—and elevates these moments to the outlandish and hilarious with her astute blend of magical realism and social insight. One woman is tortured by sinister bite marks that appear on her skin; another is swallowed up by the floor during a mortifying presentation; yet another resolves to return and exchange her boring husband at the store where she originally acquired him. The women at the center of this curious universe learn that their reality is shaped not only by how others perceive them, but also how they perceive the power within themselves. By turns sly, whimsical, and affecting, these thirty short stories are a dynamic examination of what it means to be a woman in this very moment. Like women themselves, each story can stand alone; yet together, they have a combined power to shift consciousness, inspire others, and create a multi-voiced Roar that will not be ignored. Includes a Reading Group Guide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes, in order to not succumb, one must be able to change their perception of oneself. When life disrupts your plans and erases your certainties, it forces you to choose who you want to be, or who you want to become. Since she was a child, her nickname was "LoGattina" (The Kitten), but one day Stefania, left alone with three young children and without a penny, realizes that the meek and defenseless figure that everyone saw would have to transform into a lioness capable of taking care of her cubs, with courage and determination. She has always walked with her head held high, but at a certain point, life asked her for something more a different kind of pride, that relentlessness necessary to overcome great obstacles and start from scratch. "You Are Gonna Hear Me Roar" is the story of an extraordinary woman who has climbed the peaks of network marketing, but it is also a true-life tale in which many women can recognize themselves. Like her, they have to find the strength to rise again, making sacrifices and difficult choices. From the province of Milan, where she grew up, to an inflexible and romantic Switzerland, from an exclusive university life in London to a suffocating New York, from Portugal—her joy and pain—to the United Arab Emirates where she resides today, Stefania Lo Gatto's journey is filled with great loves, textbook betrayals, moments of pain, faith, loneliness, and redemption. It's a story that, by showcasing the unstoppable vitality of the protagonist, can instill confidence, hope, and inspiration. STEFANIA LO GATTO Entrepreneur and mother of three boys, she is one of the main figures in the Network Marketing industry, with a network of over one and a half million distributors in more than 130 countries worldwide. Due to her achievements, her dedication to the business, and her strong faith in God, she is often invited as a speaker at national and international training events.

Book excerpt: This is a story of the whales and dolphins who rule the Seven Seas and the odyssey of a white dolphin named Apollo whose destiny is to save whalekind from destruction on this planet man calls Earth but whales know as Planet Ocean. Whether you choose to believe it or not, humans are not the only intelligent beings on this endangered blue marble drifting silently through space; for that reason, Apollos story must be told lest you and your kind live on in ignorance of the complex civilization that lies beneath the waves. If you dare to join him, Apollo will take you into a world filled with mystery and magic, mayhem and madnessa place of budding life and sudden death where the light of the sun penetrates only the upper layers, leaving the rest of its vast dominions inked in eternal darkness. You will find pleasure in clear, sunlit shallows above rippled sandy bottoms where tiny fish zoom and zip, and feel terror in deep, dark, cold waters where monsters dwell. And when your journey is done, you will never again look upon the oceans that surround you through the same eyes, or think about the whales and dolphins who dwell within them with the same mind, for this is a true tale of life, and death, and renewal that exists beyond the thin blue line that divides Apollos world from yours: it is a world unlike anything you have ever known and you ignore it at your peril.
Download or read book The Roar of Thunder written by and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential collection of tantric texts on a meditation practice essential to one of the largest traditions of Buddhism in Tibet. Yamantaka is the wrathful expression of the wisdom buddha Manjushri and was Tsongkhapa’s foremost personal deity, from whom he received direct visions that were a constant source of empowerment, inspiration, instruction, and even personal advice. The oral instructions on the practice of Yamantaka fall into two main streams. The quintessential instruction of both of these lineages, including both their generation- and completion-stage teachings, are contained in the two commentaries presented in this volume. First, we have commentary from the great scholar, siddha, and lineage holder of the Gelug Mahamudra lineage, Ngulchu Dharmabhadra, on the Thirteen Deity practice. These texts contain a wellspring of oral instructions that provide rich and highly accessible details concerning the practice of Yamantaka that are equally applicable to the Solitary Hero practice, the practice of the second stream. The second commentary, composed by the Fifth Ling Rinpoche, Losang Lungtog Tenzin Trinley, is concerned with the Solitary Hero practice and contains many extraordinary instructions that have not been written down in other texts but have been preserved through the oral lineage. This text is part of a highly secretive volume containing many texts on Solitary Hero Yamantaka entitled the Eighteen Steps of Solitary Hero. The combination of these two texts gives the reader an unprecedented panoramic perspective on the entire spectrum of Yamantaka practice. Also included in this amazing volume is the extensive sadhana of the Solitary Hero composed by Pabongkha Rinpoche that can be used as a reference to facilitate a more thorough understanding of the commentaries.
Download or read book As the Cannon Roar written by Dwight Murray and published by Dwight Murray. This book was released on 2011 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A glimpse inside the pages of As the Cannon Roar: Hundreds upon hundreds of stories have been written about the American Civil War. Although set in the Antebellum era of the “Old South” this story is not one of them. This is an in depth study of a family’s struggle to hold onto the only home and the only family they have ever known as the war rages all around them. It is a gritty but true to life story. It is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. It is full of despicable men doing despicable things. It is a story of love. It is a story of a marriage that is - in that time - frowned upon. Yet in order to tell this heart-rending story of war and love, and as a way to introduce the dreadfully wounded Confederate Artillery Captain, Thaddeus Biggs and his love of a country girl, one battle, that known as “Malvern Hill,” is used as a backdrop. Lillie Beth is the daughter of a poor dirt farmer, Tink Strickland. Tink is an evil man and void of all humanity. His jealousy of the successes of his neighbors tears at him and he will stop at no depravity in his efforts to obtain similar wealth. Therefore, his family suffers greatly at his hands. Wounded and near death, a handsome, young Confederate Artillery officer is brought to Lillie’s father’s log cabin which has recently been appropriated as a field hospital. There she soothes the man’s heated brow with a wet cloth and cool well water and appoints herself as his nurse. Little does Lillie know the wounded man suffering on the tick-mattress upon the floor is from the wealthiest family in all of North Carolina. But knowing only poverty, such wealth has no meaning to her. Her life changes drastically when Captain Thaddeus Biggs’ father arrives to take his son home. The Biggs family has nearly disintegrated upon learning their beloved son and brother has been wounded in battle, while the Strickland family near the battle of Malvern Hill dissolves so completely it will never recover.
Download or read book The Roar of Morning written by Tip Marugg and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to tell the extraordinary yet unheralded history of monoclonal antibodies. Often referred to as Mabs, they are unfamiliar to most nonscientists, yet these microscopic protein molecules are everywhere, quietly shaping our lives and healthcare. Discovered in the mid-1970s in the laboratory where Watson and Crick had earlier unveiled the structure of DNA, Mabs have radically changed understandings of the pathways of disease. They have enabled faster, cheaper, and more accurate clinical diagnostic testing on a vast scale. And they have played a fundamental role in pharmaceutical innovation, leading to such developments as recombinant interferon and insulin, and personalized drug therapies such as Herceptin. Today Mabs constitute six of the world's top ten blockbuster drugs and make up a third of new introduced treatments. -- from dust jacket.

Download or read book Painting the Cannon s Roar written by Thomas Tolley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 827 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From c.1750 to c.1810 the paths of music history and the history of painting converged with lasting consequences. The publication of Newton's Opticks at the start of the eighteenth century gave a 'scientific' basis to the analogy between sight and sound, allowing music and the visual arts to be defined more closely in relation to one another. This was also a period which witnessed the emergence of a larger and increasingly receptive audience for both music and the visual arts - an audience which potentially included all social strata. The development of this growing public and the commercial potential that it signified meant that for the first time it became possible for a contemporary artist to enjoy an international reputation. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the career of Joseph Haydn. Although this phenomenon defies conventional modes of study, the book shows how musical pictorialism became a major creative force in popular culture. Haydn, the most popular living cultural personality of the period, proved to be the key figure in advancing the new relationship. The connections between the composer and his audiences and leading contemporary artists (including Tiepolo, Mengs, Kauffman, Goya, David, Messerschmidt, Loutherbourg, Canova, Copley, Fuseli, Reynolds, Gillray and West) are examined here for the first time. By the early nineteenth century, populism was beginning to be regarded with scepticism and disdain. Mozart was the modern Raphael, Beethoven the modern Michelangelo. Haydn, however, had no clear parallel in the accepted canon of Renaissance art. Yet his recognition that ordinary people had a desire to experience simultaneous aural and visual stimulation was not altogether lost, finding future exponents in Wagner and later still in the cinematic arts.

Download or read book The Lions Finally Roar written by Bill Morris and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The epic and tumultuous story of the Lions, the Ford family, the city of Detroit—and how all three have come together on the cusp of a new era. On Nov. 22, 1963, William Clay Ford, the youngest grandson of auto pioneer Henry Ford, made a successful bid to buy the Detroit Lions of the National Football League for the unheard-of sum of $6 million. As Ford and his entourage settled down to a celebratory luncheon, their waitress delivered the news that President John F. Kennedy had been shot dead in Dallas. "Born under a bad sign" is how Bill Ford’s ownership of the Lions began. After a decade of supremacy, Ford led the team on a half-century slog of mediocrity, the fruit of his mercurial nature and undying loyalty to the wrong people. The Lions Finally Roar is bursting with the colorful ruffians who have made the team one of America’s most beloved sports franchises despite its years of futility. Readers meet the hell-raising quarterback Bobby Layne, who is said to have put a curse on the team after he was traded to Pittsburgh; the rock-solid linebacker and future coach Joe Schmidt; the stars Charlie Sanders, Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson and, most spectacularly, Barry Sanders, the greatest running back in the history of the game, who grew so disgusted with losing and mismanagement that he walked away when he was on the threshold of shattering the NFL’s all-time rushing record. But the tide is finally turning. The Lions Finally Roar culminates with the team’s recent turnaround and playoff run under the stewardship of Bill Ford’s daughter, Sheila Ford Hamp. Hamp hired savvy general manager Brad Holmes and charismatic coach Dan Campbell—and has stood behind them as they methodically returned the team to the ranks of the league’s elite and, at long last, have made the Lions roar. Deeply researched and briskly written, The Lions Finally Roar is about much more than football. It explores the American class system, the linked histories of Detroit and its auto and music industries, the city’s changing racial dynamics, the rising power of television, and how all of it played into the NFL’s transformation from a fall sport into the multi-billion dollar, year-round entertainment behemoth that is a cornerstone of American popular culture.
