Ursula K. Le Guin
Gifts (Booklist Editor`s Choice. Books for Youth (Awards))

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Scattered among poor, desolate farms, the clans of the Uplands possess gifts. Wondrous gifts: the ability--with a glance, a gesture, a word--to summon animals, bring forth fire, move the land. Fearsome gifts: They can twist a limb, chain a mind, inflict a wasting illness. The Uplanders live in constant fear that one family might unleash its gift against another. Two young people, friends since childhood, decide not to use their gifts. One, a girl, refuses to bring animals to their death in the hunt. The other, a boy, wears a blindfold lest his eyes and his anger kill. In this beautifully crafted story, Ursula K. Le Guin writes of the proud cruelty of power, of how hard it is to grow up, and of how much harder still it is to find, in the world`s darkness, gifts of light. [detailed...]

Gifts from the Broken Jar: Rediscovering Hope, Beauty, and Joy

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionEveryone, at some time, learns how life can change in a moment: with the crossing of the center line on a highway or the reading of a blood test, a telephone`s knell in the still of night or a spouse`s hesitation before the unspeakable isspoken. Occasionally, out of the turmoil emerges a work of exceptional wisdom and beauty. `Gifts from the Broken Jar` is one such work. Psychotherapist PJ Long`s life-altering moment came when the bolt of a terrified horse left her brain-injured. She became a stranger to herself, unable to drive a car, prepare a meal, or carry on a conversation. But when PJ began to write, pen and ink acted as needle and thread, mending her torn mind and stitching together a new life. Lessons she had gleaned over years of helping others returned to guide her. And as PJ wrote, she gained profound insight into the resilience of the spirit and the unexpected joys of everyday life. Warm, engaging, and exquisitely crafted, `Gifts from the Broken… [detailed...]

Gifts of Athena: Historical Origins of the Knowledge Economy

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The growth of technological and scientific knowledge in the past two centuries has been the overriding dynamic element in the economic and social history of the world. Its result is now often called the knowledge economy. But what are the historical origins of this revolution and what have been its mechanisms? In The Gifts of Athena , Joel Mokyr constructs an original framework to analyze the concept of `useful` knowledge. He argues that the growth explosion in the modern West in the past two centuries was driven not just by the appearance of new technological ideas but also by the improved access to these ideas in society at large--as made possible by social networks comprising universities, publishers, professional sciences, and kindred institutions. Through a wealth of historical evidence set in clear and lively prose, he shows that changes in the intellectual and social environment and the institutional background in which knowledge was generated and disseminated brought… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Policymakers, civic leaders, and scholars have increasingly focused their attention over the last decade and a half on the importance of voluntary participation in civil society.

What mobilizes giving and volunteering? What can policymakers and nonprofit managers do to change the current landscape in places with low levels of participation? These are the questions this edited collection addresses. [detailed...]

Publisher: Woodbine House

Some were calm at the time of diagnosis, some were traumatized. Some write about their pregnancy and the months after giving birth, some reflect on years of experience with their child.
