Download or read book Buddy written by Brian McGrory and published by Crown. This book was released on 2012-11-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning journalist Brian McGrory goes head to beak in a battle royale with another male for a top-spot in his home, vying for dominance with the family’s pet rooster. Brian McGrory's life changed drastically after the death of his beloved dog, Harry: he fell in love with Pam, Harry's veterinarian. Though Brian’s only responsibility used to be his adored Harry, Pam came with accessories that could not have been more exotic to the city-loving bachelor: a home in suburbia, two young daughters, two dogs, two cats, two rabbits, and a portly, snow white, red-crowned-and-wattled step-rooster named Buddy. While Buddy loves the women of the house, he takes Brian's presence as an affront, doing everything he can to drive out his rival. Initially resistant to elements of his new life and to the loud, aggressive rooster (who stares menacingly, pecks threateningly, and is constantly poised to attack), Brian eventually sees that Buddy shares the kind of extraordinary relationship with Pam and her two girls that he wants for himself. The rooster is what Brian needs to be – strong and content, devoted to what he has rather than what might be missing. As he learns how to live by living with animals, Buddy, Brian’s nemesis, becomes Buddy, Brian’s inspiration, in this inherently human story of love, acceptance, and change. In the tradition of bestsellers like Marley and Me, Dewey, and The Tender Bar comes a heartwarming and wise tale of finding love in life’s second chapter - and how it means all the more when you have to fight for it.

Download or read book The Financialization of Agri Food Systems written by Hilde Bjorkhaug and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financialization is the increased influence of financial actors and logics on social and economic life, and is one of the key drivers transforming food systems and rural economies around the world. The premise of this book is that the actions of financial actors, and their financial logics, are transforming agri-food systems in profound ways. It is shown that although financialization is a powerful dynamic, some recent developments suggest that the rollout of financialization is contradictory and uneven in different spaces and markets. The book examines cases in which state regulation or re-regulation and social movement resistance are setting roadblocks or speed bumps in the path of financialization, resulting in a ‘cooling off’ of investment, as well as the other side of the argument where there is evidence of a ‘heating up’. The authors address not only the limits to financialization, but also the mechanisms through which financial entities are able to penetrate and re-shape agri-food industries. This book provides both a comparative analysis of financialization blending, and empirical findings with conceptual insights. It explores the connection between financialization, food systems, and rural transformation by critically examining: the concept of financialization and how food and farming are being financialized; the impacts of financialization in the food industry; and financialization in farming and forestry – along with the impacts this has on rural people and communities. This is a timely book, bringing together concrete case studies, from around the globe, to reveal the operations and impacts of finance capital in the ‘space’ of agri-food.
Download or read book Story Hour written by Jeri Kladder and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2003-07-10 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Story time at the public library is the first exposure to books outside the home for many preschool children. For the librarian, it is an exciting opportunity to instill in youngsters a love of reading and books. But coming up with new ideas that hold the children’s attention can be trying. Until now. Here are 55 tried-and-true story hour programs with a thematic approach. All are highly flexible and adaptable across the full preschool age range. Most of the ideas are arranged under one of eight specific themes that include four to eight one-hour programs: barnyard animals, the Caldecott Medal, colors, families, a storytelling feast, the five senses, reptiles and amphibians, and around the world. There are also 18 individual holiday and seasonal programs. All story hours provide ideas for name tags, suggested audiovisual materials, recommended story, poetry and song selections, additional titles and a full description of the activity.
Download or read book 20 Weeks Grade 0 R written by Dr. A. J. Buchel and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing this book of creative ideas and school-readiness lessons for preprimary and junior school learners is the result of years of contact with young children and their artistic, mental, and physical development. I am charmed by childrens natural ability to spontaneously create wonderful art when given the material and opportunity to do so. Their astounding physical and mental abilities and play activities led to my lifelong interest in and involvement with small children and their growth toward adulthood. Over the years, I put together a collection of themes and ideas for promoting childrens creative abilities and thinking, as well as their physical and emotional development. Some ideas worked; others did not. Some ideas work for certain children and not for others, and some work for everyone. Many of these ideas I shared with or learned from fellow preprimary schoolteachers; most are my own ideas. All the ideas were adapted to suit the learners needs and also to the available materials. The ideas in this book are exactly that: ideas only. There is no right or wrong way to do anything. Creativity is open-ended; it forms an integral part of the personality of the person creating an artwork, game, or anything new. Therefore, the ideas in this book must be adjusted and explored to suit the moment, such as it might be. Every idea has to be adapted to suit the availability of materials, the groups or individual childs learning needs, their teachers creative ability, their surroundings (life world), their level of development, and their physical and emotional needs. Each one of these ideas can be changed; they are guidelines, not prescriptions. Prescriptive teachingparticularly in art, language development, and free playdestroys creativity and creative thinking because it does not allow for individual creative exploration. Creative thinking, not only in art but also in all spheres of life, forms the highest level of cognitive development, namely, problem-solving thinking patterns. Allowing children to explore their creative ideas through the media of free but guided art, play, and language development helps them develop creative thinking patterns. This book is dedicated to all my friends and colleagues who shared their ideas with me and, in particular, to all the children whom Ive taught and who taught me to see life through their eyes with their clear and honest perceptions of the world. Their artistic play and verbal expression gave us a direct glimpse into their joys and sorrows, which opens the mind to a plethora of new concepts and a new understanding of the world we live in. Every one of the lessons is aimed at school readiness, but the creative activities and developmental-play activities are also suitable for use in junior primary school classes. My hope is that this book will bring joy and happiness to all who use it and, in particular, that it will help the little ones for whom it was written to explore their world successfully and prepare them for the challenge of growing up. Different ATB from AR MS: The book comprises a collection of creative ideas and activities, including developmental play, music, movement, rhymes, songs, and stories for grade 0/R (preschool learners). Every creative activity in this collection is aimed at helping learners to grow into well-adjusted, happy human beings and to prepare them for the challenges of formal schooling. All activities are theme related and serve to develop skills while the learner has fun. The activities prepare the learner to cope in the primary school phase as well as later in life. Every creative activity should be seen as an informal teaching tool. These should never cause stress for the learners but should help them understand themselves and their world better. The book is meant for use by nursery schoolteachers, parents of preschool children, and students.
Download or read book Living Out Loud written by Larry Gross and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From bus rides to bars, to encounters with friends and family and most importantly with strangers, Larry Gross lives his life out loud by drawing on the small slices of life, the little things most people don’t notice. “There is no artifice in Gross’s art. What distinguishes his writing is his knack for seeing and hearing things worth remembering. His pastiche draws on the commonality of urban life, with many of his stories set in downtown bars or on the buses that take him there. The main character is No One Special, a person who appears in various guises, capable of both unfettered generosity and burdensome peevishness.” Gregory Flannery, Managing Editor, Streetvibes

Download or read book Rooster written by Brett Cogburn and published by Kensington Publishing Corp.. This book was released on 2011-10-24 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The True Story Behind True Grit Immortalized in the classic novel and films, the real "Rooster" Cogburn was as bold, brash, and bigger-than-life as the American West itself. Now, in this page-turning account, Cogburn's great-great-grandson reveals the truth behind the fiction--and the man behind the myth. . . He was born in 1866 in Fancy Hill, Arkansas, the descendant of pioneers and moonshiners. Six foot three, dark eyed, and a dead shot with a rifle, Franklin "Rooster" Cogburn was as hard as the rocky mountain ground his family settled. The only authority the Cogburn clan recognized was God and a gun. And though he never packed a badge, Rooster meted out his own brand of justice--taking on a posse of U.S. deputy marshals in a blazing showdown of gunfire and blood. Now a wanted man, with a $500 reward on his head, Rooster would ultimately have to defend himself before a hanging judge. Proud, stubborn, fearless, and ornery to the bitter end. A fascinating portrait of a true American icon, Rooster shows us the making of a legend--fashioned by Arkansas newspaperman Charles Portis with bits and pieces of historical figures, including Deputy Reuben M. Fry, one-eyed Deputy Marshal Cal Whitson, Joseph Peppers (Lucky Ned), Joseph Spurling (Mattie Ross's grandfather) and bank robber Frank Chaney (scar-faced Tom Chaney.) Behind it all stood a man named "Rooster," with two good eyes and a tale all his own. With never-before-seen photos Some folks are just born to tell tall tales. Brett Cogburn was reared in Texas and the mountains of Southeastern Oklahoma. He was fortunate enough for many years to make his living from the back of a horse, where on cold mornings cowboys still straddled frisky broncs and dragged calves to the branding fire on the end of a rope from their saddlehorns. Growing up around ranches, livestock auctions, and backwoods hunting camps filled Brett's head with stories, and he never forgot a one. In his own words: "My grandfather taught me to ride a bucking horse, my mother gave me a love of reading, and my father taught me how to hunt my own meat and shoot straight. Cowboys are just as wild as they ever were, and I've been damn lucky to have known more than a few." The West is still teaching him how to write. His first novel, Panhandle, will be published in November 2012. Brett Cogburn lives in Oklahoma with his family.

Download or read book Where We Used To Live written by Paul John Hausleben and published by God Bless the Keg Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2022-11-04 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home for the holidays! The master storyteller, Mr. Paul John Hausleben, returns once more to the Christmas season with a masterful collection of classic stories. This collection consists of novellas and novelettes with each story revolving around the central theme of returning home for Christmas. They utilize Christmas and the holiday season as a setting and they perfectly capture the spirit and magic of the holidays. Christmas invokes prominent emotions, with both happiness and sadness touching our soul; however, of all the many wonderful aspects of the Christmas season, there is nothing quite as special as when a loved one returns home for Christmas. Especially so if the loved one has been away for a long amount of time. Sometimes, it is not a physical return home, but it is a return within the person’s mind. Paul John Hausleben's masterful play with our emotions often causes the plots and the emotions to run deep in these stories and encompass both the joy and the heartbreak of that most wonderful time of the year. However, in typical PJH fashion, he leaves the reader with a collection of stories that stoke your own memories of holidays of your own past and stories that remain in your mind forever.
