Free Download Another Creature : Poems By Pamela Gemin 2009 | 98 Pages | ISBN: 155728928X | PDF | 1 MB In her quietly ferocious poems, Gemin reminds us again and again of the essential strangeness that lies within the domestic. Her examinations of the quotidian always lead to surprising and pathos-laden reckonings - with the self, with the past, and with the manifold contradictions and menace that exist within contemporary culture. As she memorably puts it in one of the collection's closing poems, If you're willing / to stand still enough / to be stung, you'll see / some astonishing things. Gemin possesses in abundance the courage of this conviction. - David Wojahn, author of Interrogation Palace Passion, hard drinking, bad-boy lovers, life lived on the brink of a dare - all this flares like embers un-banked and newly fed as the speaker of these poems, a woman who 'hangs lace in her kitchen windows' and has reached a safer, more sedate middle-age, calls her past back into being.

Free Download An Introvert in an Extrovert World : Essays on the Quiet Ones By Myrna Santos 2014 | 189 Pages | ISBN: 1443870668 | PDF | 1 MB An Introvert in an Extrovert World: Essays on the Quiet Ones is a multi-disciplinary anthology about introversion in the world of extroversion. Susan Cain's book, Quiet, recently addressed the complexities of an issue that was initially raised by Carl Jung, and this anthology expands the analysis of the challenges faced by those who are considered to be introverts - those who prefer reading to partying, listening to speaking - living in a world of people who cannot understand their quieter ways. Introverts are innovative and make significant contributions, but dislike self-promotion. They derive their energy from quiet rejuvenation, as opposed to acquiring renewed energy from being surrounded by, and interacting with, multitudes of people. That they are typically labeled "quiet" often suggests negative connotations. However, from Van Gogh's Sunflowers to the invention of the personal computer, the contributions of the "quiet ones" have made an immeasurable and invaluable impact on our society. An Introvert in an Extrovert World contains analyses of popular culture, literature, television, film, and social media, as well as poignant personal narrative examples of the lives of these two contrasting personality types. Examples of the pain, conflict, repression, and even humor related to introversion in everyday life are manifested in this collection of articles that span the spectrum of human nature. The volume looks at the unlikely professions that the populace would attribute to the introvert: from teacher/professor and actor to politician and even gladiator. The reader is given an understanding of different characters in literary works and their connection to introversion, visits the spectrum of social media and the pluses and minuses therein, and is provided with examples of how to promote one's writing for publication whilst being an introvert. Within the pages of this book, there are many and varied topics and intuitive insights traversing several situations that relate to the "quiet" world of introversion.

Free Download An Empire of Laws: Legal Pluralism in British Colonial Policy (Yale Law Library Series in Legal History and Reference) by Christian R Burset English | September 26, 2023 | ISBN: 0300253230 | 272 pages | MOBI | 12 Mb A compelling reexamination of how Britain used law to shape its empire  Free Download Amplify AI: Integrating Intelligence, Preserving Humanity-a Guide for Business Acceleration by Ronsley Vaz English | August 26, 2024 | ISBN: 1998756831 | 274 pages | MOBI | 1.47 Mb Sick of AI being a buzzword? You're not alone.  Free Download Justin Pack, "Amor Mundi and Overcoming Modern World Alienation " English | ISBN: 1498591345 | 2019 | 192 pages | PDF | 1234 KB Love in many premodern cultures extended to and permeated the world or even the cosmos, but love in contemporary consumerist society tends to be sexualized, romanticized, and individualized. As a result, ancient visions of ethical love are difficult for moderns to comprehend, especially those rooted in premodern Western thought, or Native American thinkers that describe a love of the natural world that would help us live more responsibly on the Earth.  Free Download Among the Garifuna : Family Tales and Ethnography from the Caribbean Coast By Marilyn McKillop Wells 2015 | 233 Pages | ISBN: 0817318712 | PDF | 1 MB An intimate ethnographic narrative of one indigenous family in the twentieth-century Caribbean Among the Garifuna is the first ethnographic narrative of a Garifuna family. The Garifuna are descendants of the "Black Carib," whom the British deposited on Roatan Island in 1797 and who settled along the Caribbean coast from Belize City to Nicaragua. In 1980, medical anthropologist Marilyn McKillop Wells found herself embarking on an "improbable journey" when she was invited to the area to do fieldwork with the added challenge of revealing the "real" Garifuna. Upon her arrival on the island, Wells was warmly embraced by a local family, the Diegos, and set to work recording life events and indigenous perspectives on polygyny, Afro-indigenous identity, ancestor-worshiping religion, and more. The result, as represented in Among the Garifuna, is a lovingly intimate, earthy human drama. The family narrative is organized chronologically. Part I, "The Old Ways," consists of vignettes that introduce the family backstory with dialogue as imagined by Wells based on the family history she was told. We meet the family progenitors, Margaret and Cervantes Diego, during their courtship, experience Margaret's pain as Cervantes takes a second wife, witness the death of Cervantes and ensuing mourning rituals, follow the return of Margaret and the children to their previous home in British Honduras, and observe the emergence of the children's personalities. In Part II, "Living There," Wells continues the story when she arrives in Belize and meets the Diego children, including the major protagonist, Tas. In Tas's household Wells learns about foods and manners and watches family squabbles and reconciliations. In these mini-stories, Wells interweaves cultural information on the Garifuna people with first-person narrative and transcription of their words, assembling these into an enthralling slice of life. Part III, "The Ancestor Party," takes the reader through a fascinating postmortem ritual that is enacted to facilitate the journey of the spirits of the honored ancestors to the supreme supernatural. Among the Garifuna contributes to the literary genres of narrative anthropology and feminist ethnography in the tradition of Zora Neal Hurston and other women writing culture in a personal way. Wells's portrait of this Garifuna family will be of interest to anthropologists, Caribbeanists, Latin Americanists, students, and general readers alike. |
