Download or read book Time and the Winds written by Frederick Fennell and published by Kenosha, Wis : G. Leblanc Company. This book was released on 1954 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book had its origins in a series of ten lectures, The Development of the Orchestra, which were prepared and delivered to the service men and women who frequented the music room of the Fifth Avenue USO Club in San Diego, California, during my war-time stay in that important training area as National USO music advisor. In expanding those informal essays into this little book, which is concerned with the development of wind instruments and their use, it has been my desire to afford both the casual reader and the serious student of the orchestra and band with a single volume which might prove of interest. --Preface.
Download or read book The Wind written by Jeremy Bendik-Keymer and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2018 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Part primer, part parable, part elegy for the depth and decency we sacrifice daily to the order of self-possession, The Wind invites us to enjoy it inventively .... A philosopher coming up against the limits of philosophy's forms of communication ("Philosophy, without being in touch, is always abstract"), Bendik-Keymer courts a thoughtfulness in which wonder practically circumvents theory. Energized by "utopian anger," he invokes the clearing, shaking energies of wind against the violent social rigidities we accept as normal. The wind, impersonal, is the figure through which to keep the dynamic inter-personal in view. ... I admire this book's inventiveness, its willingness to break with discipline in pursuing a wider vision of accountability." (Sarah Gridley, author of "Weather Eye Open" and "Loom") A process begun in Pisa, Italy in April of 2016 during a workshop on political theory in the Anthropocene, The Wind An Unruly Living is a philosophical exercise (askêsis, translated, following Ignatius of Loyola, as "spiritual exercise"). In his exercise, Bendik-Keymer throws to the void: the ideology of self-ownership from a society of possession. By using the Stoic kanôn, the rule of living by phûsis, he follows an element. Unhappily for the Stoic and happily for us, the wind is unruly. A swerve of currents through a social fabric, it's full of holes, all holely. Stretch and stitch as you want, it might settle more shapely tattered into light, but it will never become whole. The wind's only holesome.
Download or read book Noah Chases the Wind written by Michelle Worthington and published by Redleaf Press. This book was released on 2015-12-31 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noah knew he was different. He could see things that others couldn't, like the patterns in the dust that floated down on sunbeams. Noah is different. He sees, hears, feels, and thinks in ways that other people don't always understand, and he asks a lot of questions along the way. Noah loves science, especially the weather. His books usually provide him with the answers he needs, until one day, there's one question they don't answer—and that is where Noah's windy adventure begins. Filled with rich, sweeping illustrations, this picture book celebrates the inquisitive nature of all children, including those on the autism spectrum, who cannot stop asking a question until an answer has been unearthed. The book contains a page of information for parents, caregivers, and educators about the importance of helping children feel good about their differences and know that being different is okay. Michelle Worthington was born in Brisbane, Queensland, and has lived there all her life. She is much-published author in Australia. Joseph Cowman lives and paints in the hills and valleys of suburban Idaho. He is a long-standing member of the Society of Children's Books Writers and Illustrators. He is the illustrator of six other Redleaf Lane books, including most recently, The Amazing Erik and Rita and the Firefighters.

Download or read book Grace and the Wind written by Kristina Dryža and published by DoctorZed Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-05 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grace thinks everything about her life is wrong. When the Wind makes a dramatic entry into her life, it forces Grace to question her sense of reality. Despite her initial reluctance, Grace and the Wind gradually develop an intense relationship through a series of extraordinary conversations. The Wind teaches Grace to perceive life through the wisdom conveyed in nature’s rhythms–circadian cycles, tidal and lunar sequences and the movements of the seasons–so that nature’s intelligence becomes her intelligence. Grace struggles with the teachings, but with the Wind as her guide she discovers how everything creates out of patterns. Could the key to flowing with the rhythms of nature, and not against them, be found in the essence of her name? In Grace and the Wind, futurist Kristina Dryža delivers a modern allegorical novel on how the very nature of life itself is expressed and experienced as rhythmic patterns of energy.

Download or read book Chimes From The Wind of Time written by Maxine Lindsey Pulley and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not only the story of one family but of many people from the Southern states, as well as states throughout the United States. In the late 1950s, there were forty million people in the United States living in poverty. This story is about only a few and how they survived the hard times. How they found enjoyment in life, whether it was work or play. It is about the friendship of the communities and church families all working together for the well-being of each other. Survival skills and the willfulness to do whatever it took for the good of each other as well as yourself. Another time, another place, hard times, and good times. Mud pies and fishing holes. Memories that we cherish, such as the only way one would know--the women had brought their children to the cotton fields with them, where you could see their little toehead jumping above the cotton bolls every now and then, and the pleasant laughter or a cry from a tiny one riding on the mother's cotton sack as she pulled it along. These little things brought a feeling of relief rolling down their backs, relief from the heavy load of the cotton sack, and from the hurting back which stayed bent over the cotton row. This is a story about the families all working together as one for the good of their households. A time soon to be the history of life gone by and soon forgotten. Childhood memories only survive in the minds of a few. A few that are chosen to tell the stories of the history of the times they lived.

Book excerpt: From John Flanagan, author of the worldwide bestselling Ranger's Apprentice, comes a brand-new chapter in the adventures of young Skandians who form a different kind of family--a brotherband. When the Brotherband crew are caught in a massive storm at sea, they’re blown far off course and wash up on the shores of a land so far west that Hal can’t recognize it from any of his maps. Eerily, the locals are nowhere in sight, yet the Herons have a creeping feeling they are being watched. Suddenly the silence is broken when a massive, marauding bear appears, advancing on two children. The crew springs into action and rescues the children from the bear’s clutches, which earns them the gratitude and friendship of the local Mawagansett tribe, who finally reveal themselves. But the peace is short-lived. The Ghostfaces, a ruthless, warlike tribe who shave their heads and paint their faces white, are on the warpath once more. It’s been ten years since they raided the Mawagansett village, but they’re coming back to pillage and reap destruction. As the enemy approaches, the Herons gear up to help their new friends repel an invasion. In this sixth book in the action-packed Brotherband Chronicles, the Herons find themselves in unfamiliar lands and prepare for battle with a ruthless, unknown enemy.
