Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My husband died the day after Christmas, leaving four children, ages two to nine. Anxious how we would manage without him, too young to understand, my children asked, "Why my daddy?" I couldn't find any material to help them, so I decided to write one. While vacationing at my brother's lake cabin, in Michigan's northern woods, we watched a mother raccoon and her babies feeding daily at the stump outside our kitchen window when the idea came to write my stories through the eyes of animals. The first book in The Waddodles of Hollow Lake series, Law of the Woodland, is built on family values, tales of courage, love, hope and trust in each other. The second series book, The Waddodles of Hollow Lake: Calamity on East Bay features more exciting adventures with The Waddodles and their friends, highlighting many episodes with their enemies. Journey to the West Shore fmds the family sad about leaving their den, but excited about their new adventure. On their way, the Waddodles journey through the fragrant Pine Forest, the mysterious Cedar Swamp; the beautiful Grassy Meadow, then onto West Shore where they move into their hollow in a magnificent tree, The Mighty Oak. The happy family looks forward to their first day in their new home, and meeting their interesting new neighbors. In The Mighty Oak, the family adjusts to their new environment and friends; experiencing living next door to the mystifying human Lawrence Family, Hubbard Great-Homed Owl, Rosie Skunk, and Dulcie Porcupine and the nemesis's 'The Beauties', Charmaine Crest Robin and Melody Mom Bluebird. The Waddodles experience lots of activity as they build new relationships. Harriet meets a new beau, Tobias Trottleby. Plans are underway for the Ruffed Grouse Courtship Ceremony and The Birds Beauty Contest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people go through very difficult times in life. The author documents the journey through his dark night of the soul. The poetry paints vivid word pictures with brutally honest feelings about what he is experiencing. He does not pretend to be something he is not. He merely writes from the darkness as he struggles to find the light. As the book progresses, the light at the end of the tunnel becomes apparent. He becomes, in fact, what he always thought he was in theory. This book is not a light read, but it is very easy to read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The natural beauty of the fictional Surf City, plus its mild climate, once lured tourists by the tens of thousands. But in recent years it also attracted hundreds of less desirable visitors, street people who turned to panhandling in order to survive. At first their numbers included the truly helpless the mentally disturbed, drug addicts, maladjusted war veterans, alcoholics. Then came an economic recession and corporate "down-sizing." The homeless population swelled with unemployed factory workers, salesmen, engineers, dot com techies, single mothers with kids, teenagers abandoned by families unable to afford them and unwilling to care, and the usual bums who elected to live on the street out of sheer cussedness. Residents could no longer shop on Beach Street, the city's main commercial artery, without running a gauntlet of beggars and drug dealers. Tourism was threatened. Some charged that the transients were destroying the community. Others argued that panhandling is a right protected by the Constitution and cried out that it was not a crime to be homeless. Then, just as Surf City braced for all-out class warfare, street people began turning up dead, victims of grisly slayings. One, two, three the body count grew. Soon a cry arose: Vigilantes!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1968 a group of assassins, known as the RAU (Republican Assassination Unit) murdered Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy and forced President Lyndon Baines Johnson to resign. Then they went underground. Now they're back with a plan to assassinate thirty key members of the Democratic Party. If they succeed, America will be in the hands of a small group of Republican sociopaths bent on establishing an oligarchy. A powerful Washington lawyer, influential in the Democratic Party, discovers the plot and sends a petty thief to steal the Republican Manifesto and the hit list but the thief is captured, tortured and murdered by the RAU and the documents disappear. Annabella Witherspoon, her bounty hunter brother, Dan, and Annabella's mentor are all that stand between the RAU and the destruction of the United States Constitution ... and Dan has disappeared. Annabella must find her brother, the Republican Manifesto, and the hit list before forces from either political party locate and murder Dan.
Download or read book The Waddodles of Hollow Lake written by Carole La Flamme Beighey and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Autumn of 1857, in a remote region of what is now Southern Utah, acts of great treachery were committed against innocent people. The loss of life was staggering and unprecedented in American history. Evidence shows the responsible parties to be from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, including the Prophet Brigham Young. This story strives to honor the historical record. Motives were understandable but unjustifiable. They feared persecution. They sought vengeance, retribution and opportunity to build up their empire. Their objective was to strike terror into the hearts of all Americans by striking people who had done them no harm. Though few would describe it so today, the LDS Theocracy of 1857 was a very dangerous Church. Once executed, the crime was so reprehensible even the perpetrators knew they had gone too far. Such an act could only result in an infuriated retaliation... but only if the truth of it came to light. Those complicit must be silenced, even if more crimes would be required. For 150 years the forces of darkness and light have warred over revealing the secrets of this dreadful transgression. After 43 years of researching the evidence, this author presents a new look at the Mountain Meadows Massacre as the events most likely transpired with the actual people who lived at that place at that time. Where the record is unsettled, the author's best approximations have been inserted. A few new theories are advanced, but always with historical basis. It is hoped that this book will elicit corroboration, and challenges, to these theories.

Download or read book Metaphor and Intercultural Communication written by Andreas Musolff and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metaphor and Intercultural Communication examines in detail the dynamics of metaphor in interlingual contact, translation and globalization processes. Its case-studies, which combine methods of cognitive metaphor theory with those of corpus-based and discourse-oriented research, cover contact linguistic and cultural contacts between Chinese, English including Translational English and Aboriginal English, Greek, Kabyle, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, and Spanish. Part I introduces readers to practical and methodological problems of the intercultural transfer of metaphor through empirical (corpus-based and experimental) studies of translators' experiences and strategies in dealing with figurative language in a variety of contexts. Part II explores the universality-relativity dimension of cross- and intercultural metaphor on the basis of empirical data from various European and non-European cultures. Part III investigates the socio-economic and political consequences of figurative language use through case studies of communication between aboriginal and mainstream cultures, in the media, in political discourse and gender-related discourses. Special attention is paid to cases of miscommunication and of deliberate re- and counter-conceptualisation of clichés from one culture into another. The results open new perspectives on some of the basic assumptions of the 'classic' cognitive paradigm, e.g. regarding metaphor understanding, linguistic relativity and concept-construction.

Download or read book Who in the Zoo Are You written by Ken Willidau and published by . This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for people who feel penned in, themselves, by being what's expected of them to be and not what they should really be free to be, Who in the Zoo are You? contains more than 2,500 jokes and one-liners that offers readers the chance to see what lies behind the bars that we all have to live behind in order to survive in the zoo. From an animal's camouflage to a colourful flower's alluring scent planet Earth, itself, is a liar to us all. So, why wouldn't people exhibit the behaviours that they have to show to get what they want and need, too? What exactly are you a human being? Willidau finds it confining surviving in the zoo, looking at life free on the inside, for himself, and living a look locked up on the outside for others. So, he decided to venture out and see how all the other animals cope with the stresses of living in a virtual prison, themselves. Ken Willidau's philosophy is that if you're going to live a life inside-out you might as well let the outside in so you'll know why you are what you have to be on the outside, yourself, to adapt to it. By the end of the visit you will see that you've always been living in the zoo and you're your own exhibit, for others to view, too. Chapters tour behind-the-scenes at the zoo to give people thoughts on how they can fit in if they restrict themselves to fitting in and nothing else. Among them, 'A Social Butterfly', 'Frisky as a Bunny', 'Bats in the Belfry', 'Lazy as a Sloth', 'Drunk as a Skunk' and 'A Starfish is Born'. The day is spent with Willidau letting loose jokes using wit, dark humour, twisted logic, three secrets he knows about you, plays on words and double entendre humour. Spending your time with Ken will be a barrel of laughs if you're monkey see, monkey do, too. Who in the Zoo are You? is a perfect read for those times when you think you think you're living in a zoo and you'd be better, yourself, if you got to know who your own predators and prey are, now, to survive it.
