Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'In the lyrical tradition of Robert Frost and William Butler Yeats, Burt Porter's 'A Spiral Wind' is a wise and lovely celebration of hawks and falcons, waterbirds and wildflowers, literature, love, family, and a life that couldn't possibly be better lived. 'A Spiral Wind' is a testimony to the power of poetry to affirm and illuminate the natural world, and all of us beings who inhabit it, in all its many splendors.'-Howard Frank Mosher, novelist, 'Disappearances', 'Where the Rivers Flow North' 'Burt Porter's poems have the strong and sturdy calm that comes from their regularly cadenced and rhymed verses, without sentimentality. These are straightforward, honest poems of love for this world: poems that embody a formal, down-home elegance in which we can clearly hear the legacy of Shakespeare, 'Marvel and Donne'. Here also are the close and accurate observations of a knowledgeable countryman and an accomplished naturalist. This book is a treasure trove of country wisdom and insight, full of lessons from the wild.'-David Budbill, poet and playwright, 'Judevine', 'Moment to Moment: Poems of a Mountain Recluse'.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is the story of Ashley Anderson, who became the first girl to play for the Essex High School football team. Sixty-year-old coach John Jankowski is not pleased with Ashley making the team because he feels she'll be just a distraction to his team, which is loaded with talent. But Ashley knows that if given the chance, she can take care of the one weakness that Essex has.Ashley is the product of a broken home, where her drunken stepfather physically abuses her when he decides to make an appearance at home. Ashley realizes that the Essex High football team is more than a team to her. It is her family. Coach and his wife, Annie, take her in when her situation at home becomes intolerable.This story is filled with humor, especially the relationship between Coach and his players, as the Essex High Red Demons march toward a championship with the help of an unlikely source, Ashley Anderson.This is also a hard hitting, unorthodox story about a high school team that has the talent to attain what most other teams can only dream about-an undefeated season and a number-one ranking in the all-important newspaper polls. This book captures the desire, dedication and sacrifice it takes to be champions.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Iksik ran to his cousin's side, grabbing up the wolf head harpoon. At the curve in the trail a large shadow cascaded over the rocks.They heard the loud panting of the beast just before it rounded the corner, staring straight at them. A light breeze brought the overwhelming stench of its body. It was the smell of a beast that slept in its own filth. The long shaggy hair covering its massive chest was layered with the dried blood of old kills.Mahak made a mad dash to reach them, falling back at the sight of the largest wolf he had ever seen. The back of the beast was the height of a grown horse, its yellow eyes the size of two men's fists. It was only a few yards away from the Ihalmiut, its body crouching as it prepared to attack. Long strings of saliva dripped from its huge fangs as it hungered for the taste of their flesh in its mouth. The man who had been threatened by death many times while hunting the mighty whales could not speak because of the terror climbing up his throat and pulling back his tongue. There were no creatures that the Seal Hunters had ever faced that could compare with the one before him now.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A poor, black Mississippi sharecropper is forced to flee to the North when his demand for a fair accounting of his year's production places him at odds with his boss, a wealthy landowner. Father's Day looks at the challenges faced by three generations of this black family. First, we see their escape from the grinding poverty and life-draining reality of life as sharecroppers in rural Mississippi. Later we witness the family's struggles against poverty, racism and the rough and tumble world of ethnic politics in Chicago.As the story moves from one generation to the next, we learn of the unique problems that the family encounters as they attempt to forge their way into a better life. This story captures the universal aspects of the experiences of thousands of black families whose forbearers made the difficult transition from the South to the North during the early to middle years of twentieth century America. The author draws on his personal experiences and observances, as well as the experiences of others he has encountered during his many years in Chicago.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This edition of I Use to Fall Down: 50 + 25 + 25 Selected Poems contains all of the fifty (50) original poems that first appeared in the original chap book of the same name plus twenty-five (25) pieces that first appeared in Letters to Osama: Old and New Musings on Foreign and Domestic Terrorism.And Other Matters with an additional twenty-five new poems.The original chap book was a labor of love, having comprised many of the pieces which appeared in the book during the Amadou Diallo trial of four New York City police officers charged with this young unarmed African male's murder. The murder was senseless, but the trial was a travesty of justice, a mockery of both the justice system in America (and specifically how it relates to people of color) and Black people in general (and very specifically to black men in particular). The trial was to put Amadou (ergo black people/black men) on trial and to make whites see that black people are just guilty, guilty of being the wrong color. So, I had written one, and sometimes more than one, poem per day during the duration of the trial, which began at the end of January and primarily took place during February. What is sort of ironic, and lends credence to my position about racism in this country, is that Amadou was shot and killed in the month of February, which is Black History Month, and his trial was conducted and ended in the month of February, again, Black History Month. Amadou was found guilty and his murderers went free, innocent of all charges. Tragic, but this oftentimes is justice for blacks in America.In addition to writing all those poems during Black History Month, about the trial (and I had been working nearly two doors down from the very courthouse at the time), I hit on the idea of putting a few of the trial poems and others that I had written into a chap book that I would sell locally, but the chap book would primarily be for me, something to have in my personal library, a monument to Amadou (and others), a testament for Black America. I worked on a computer at the local public library, drafting each page and getting my printouts from the reference desk librarians. After doing all that work, the manuscript was ready to be printed into book format by a local Kinkos. Amazingly, once I actually had a few books in my hand, one of the very librarians who had been working at the times I was in and had helped with getting my printed pages for me, offered to buy a few copies of this very chapbook, putting one in the local archives and about three in general circulation. The library even hosted a reading for me.I am very proud of the chap book (and I had done about three others prior to this one), which has gone through several versions of both the cover and the very style of the book, and this is why I'm making it available again for readers. A few of the poems would later in appear in Letters to Osama., my first major publication of my work, which I am also very proud of. This new version of I Use to Fall Down now has a new and exciting cover design, twenty-five poems from Letters to Osama., and some new poems about everything from deaths of celebrities to politics and wars. There is humor, sadness, 'revenge-writing,' and plain anger at people, places, and things. Being misanthropic is just not easy.I hope that readers will both come away from my work having learned something and enjoyed the way I attempted to present the message.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Auto shows have become a big hobby here in the middle western United States. I personally know of over seven hundred annual auto shows within three hundred miles of Kansas City. I believe the sport is growing throughout the United States at a rapid pace.My wife and I have competed in enough auto shows that we have seen what will and will not work. It is always a big disappointment when we attend an auto show that makes major mistakes. We never repeat a show that makes major blunders. We feel it is obvious they don't know what they are doing. Most people feel that way. Once a show makes major errors, the word circulates and the show's future is doomed.I am constantly contacted by people who want to produce an auto show but don't know how to do it. People are always wanting me to give them some pointers on some aspect.I decided to write this book and include the knowledge I have gained in over thirty years of showing automobiles. I believe it will be of help to those who know little of the subject and to those others who want to fine tune some areas of their show.Producers that follow the guidelines contained in this book will have the best chance for a perpetually successful auto show.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Incubator Views is an exciting, moving account in which the author relays a compelling narrative from four different viewpoints-the diametrically opposing perspectives of a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit nurse, the teen mother, her younger brother, and the preemie herself.Incubator Views reveals the preemie's struggle to survive against confounding odds in a harrowing and tragic family life and the crucial transfer to the foster care system.This story is an utterly engaging, vivid, often painful look at the struggle of distinctly different members of a family and those around them at a critical juncture in all of their lives.Liquid warmth and darkness: it surrounded me in a shroud of comfort, a gentle awakening into an awareness of my life and of the womb that held me. I sensed and responded even though I couldn't always understand. The cocoon of peace and solace: mine until I came to sense that I shared in the life of another--larger, stronger. She may have held me in her womb; but somehow I didn't know her. She remained a stranger that carried me down a path, provided for me, yet only acknowledged me with tears. I wondered: have I harmed her My dependence upon her left me no choice but to wait: observe in a quiet role while our lives together, then separate, unraveled into a dark future unbeknownst to either of us.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The primary purpose for the production of my current book, I Am A Key, is to assist readers in a clearer understanding of my first book, The Mind Factory. My first book dealt with pure theory and, while I made a gallant effort there to soften the language in that field of discourse, it was not a complete success. It still turned out not to be an easy read for the lay reader. As was my goal, I needed to consolidate a lot of information in a relatively short single volume. No doubt, for any diligent student of sociology or philosophy it was a casual read; but I wanted the book to accommodate the lay reader as well. In reviewing this issue of clarity of exposition-after the fact-for my book, The Mind Factory, I was reminded that I did not give interpretations for the anagrams that I presented in that book. Moreover, since defining and exhibiting anagrams was the central feature of the book, I concluded that providing interpretations for those anagrams would be the best way to pursue the immediate goal of opening up one's understanding of the overall theory contained in that book. Consequently, I present my readers with my current book, I Am A Key. In my current book, I give a representation of the extended version of the key defined and presented in the earlier book, I use an example from the first book to detail just how an anagram is derived, and I explain the meaning of an interpretation while also providing interpretations for each of the 288 anagrams contained in my other book. With this additional commentary I am satisfied that I will have done as much as anyone could possibly do to initiate a contemporary discussion and explanation of this theory. That is, to explain the reality of the existence of the latent content in our everyday language. Of course the secondary goal of these two books is to show by way of demonstrate that by implication the word 'theory,' as used within context here, does not mean something unproven or yet to be proven, and the.

In person and in works, you demonstrate that indeed intelligence does matter.''Maxene Kleier has written a book that will astound and educate you and finally broaden your knowledge of mental illness and what it is to be human. In a psychotic delusional state one of her daughters stabbed and killed another daughter who also suffered from mental illness. Most people, I think, would have just collapsed and folded rather than deal with a tragedy so immense and close. Maxene Kleier went on because she had to.

Isaiah's Leper also raises numerous questions concerning the state of the Roman Catholic Church today. It is predominantly focused on Roman Catholicism, but O'Clock also shows that the conflict and concerns addressed are applicable to all forms of religious belief systems.Isaiah's Leper identifies some of the actions and attitudes of the Roman Catholic Church that are the antithesis of the Christ's teachings. It also identifies what has to be stripped from the Catholic Church in order to save it from its own corrupt origins.

The problem is so grave that the presidential commission termed it a national emergency.

Not necessarily just widows, but all hearts. I have a sense about people that I can look into a crowd of faces and sense they are hurting. I do not know the hurt they are experiencing, but I feel their hurt. I often speak to various groups about grief or other similar topics and I look across a room and can just feel the look on their faces by searching their hearts. I cannot explain it. Some often refer to it as the gift of discernment. I often refer to is a curse because after I experience that, it drains me emotionally and physically. But I feel that God uses those times to keep me fresh and true to my feelings and where they come from in order to help others.There is no handbook for women who suddenly find themselves on the downward spiral to widowhood. Building a Ministry of Comfort and Compassion isn't a guideline, but a source of hope and encouragement on the journey into and through widowhood, as experienced by author Elaine Cook.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Jim ran through the woods, more worried about being a target for the sniper if he stopped than he was about being observed. The only problem was that the doors into the carriage house were all in a direct line of fire from where the sniper was located inside the house. Voss had already figured this out. As Jim ran up to the side of the carriage house farthest away from the house, a climbing rope and attached nylon strap dropped out of the window. Jim sent up the M-1 and his pack with the ammo. When the rope came back down Jim climbed into the loop and worked his way up the stonewall with Voss pulling the rope. The stone ended about seven feet below the windowsill and Jim jumped catching the edge of the sill. Voss continued to pull the rope, making the pull up easy and Jim was soon inside. Voss quickly turned and MP-5 in hand ran to the other side of the building, worried that some uninvited guests had gotten closer while he was helping Jim.
