A Blade of Grass: A Novel (P.S.)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: MA¤rit Laurens is a young woman of British descent who comes to live with her husband, Ben, on their newly purchased farm along the border of South Africa. Shortly after her arrival, violence strikes at the heart of MA¤rit`s world. Devastated and confused but determined to run the farm on her own, MA¤rit finds herself in a simmering tug of war between the local Afrikaner community and the black workers who live on the farm, both vying for control over the land in the wake of tragedy. MA¤rit`s only supporter is her black housekeeper, Tembi, who, like MA¤rit, is alone in the world. Together, the women struggle to hold on to the farm, but the quietly encroaching civil war brings out conflicting loyalties that turn the fight for the farm into a fight for their lives. Thrilling to read, A Blade of Grass is a wrenching story of friendship and betrayal and of the trauma of the land that has shaped post-colonial Africa. [detailed...]

Although the families inside these houses have little in common, the two girls find in each other a rare friendship that will take them into their adult lives, a friendship that makes them stronger together than either could be alone.

After years of watching Darla’s heartbreaking failure to have a baby with her husband, Cal, Joanne agrees to give birth to the child that Darla cannot have on her own.

A Blogger`s Manifesto: Free Speech and Censorship in the Age of the Internet

2007 y.
Publisher: Anthem Press
Description: There was never such a thing as true freedom of speech. In order to speak freely you had to have access to a printing press, a newspaper, a radio or a TV station. And everywhere you had to get past the editors. Only an elite ever did - the articulate and well-behaved representatives of ordinary people. But those ordinary people hardly, if ever, had a chance to speak publicly and freely. Until now. The age of blogging has begun. The internet revolution has given us all a chance to be irreverent, blasphemous and ungrammatical in public. We can reveal secrets, blow whistles, spill beans, or just make stuff up. The old elites don`t like it. In fact, they really really hate it. Blogs are commonly shut down, and bloggers are silenced, reprimanded and fired from their jobs. Suddenly modern liberal society reveals a repressive face that few of us knew existed. Should we behave ourselves? Should we fall silent? Absolutely not! Let`s call them on their hypocrisy. Let`s demand… [detailed...]

Description: This book is the first to tell the full story of the USS Edsall, a WWI-era destroyer that disappeared on a mission to Java on March 1, 1942. Drawing on exhaustive research, military historian Donald Kehn investigates not only the Edsall’s mysterious final action, but also her wide-ranging pre-war career and the curious uses to which her story was put—first by the pre-war U.S. Navy and then by the Japanese wartime propaganda machine. Redressing six decades of official neglect, his account recovers a significant chapter missing from the history of World War II and tells a long-overdue story of courage and tragic loss.

A Blueprint for Survival: An Idea Whose Time Has Come

Description: The main thrust of A Blueprint for Survival is to offer proposals for the solution of the most serious problems, both economic and political, that burden the nation. It recognizes the fact that comprehensive economic justice and peace can only be achieved by the restructuring of the economic and political systems themselves. The first part of the book is devoted to presenting the inherent flaws in the nation`s private capitalist system. Without understanding how the economic and political systems arewrongly structured resulting in the nation`s most egregious problems, millions suffering unmet needs, there cannot be a full understanding of the proposals for a National Cooperative Commonwealth that is proposed in the second part of the book. The four major flaws in our economic-political systems are dealt with: * Absence of any restraints on the growth of `unnatural entities,` called corporations.Since the inception of our nation, they have progressively taken over the… [detailed...]

A Boatload of Idioms

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIdioms are often described as the spice of a language because of the colorful way they can sum up an idea (for example, `mad as a hornet` is an illustrative, yet simple expression to show anger). However, idioms can be one of the most difficult areas to learn, especially in English. Even the best student`s speech will remain a bit stilted without a working knowledge of idioms, indeed, they are the final measure of fluency. A Boatload of Idioms presents more than a thousand idioms, along with definitions, origin explanations (where known), sample sentences and exercises. Also, a search index is offered as a quick reference tool. This program is aimed at intermediate-to-advanced ESL students as well as native English speakers who want to improve their language abilities. Once idioms are easily understood, speaking English can be a `cake-walk`. [detailed...]

Excerpt from book: n THE LIMITATIONS OF THE STAGE THE LIMITATIONS OF THE STAGE I Few competent critics would dispute the assertion that the drama, if not actually the noblest of the arts, is at all events the most comprehensive, since it can invoke the aid of all the others without impairing its own individuality or surrendering its right to be considered the senior partner in any alliance it may make. Poetry, oratory, and music, painting, sculpture, and architecture, these the drama can take into its service, with no danger to its own control. Yet even if the drama may have the widest range of any of the arts, none the less are its boundaries clearly defined. What it can do, it does with a sharpness of effect and with a cogency of appeal no other art can rival. But there are many things it cannot do, and there… [detailed...]

Unusual books are featured, like a leather-bound volume that is smaller than a paper clip, an impossibly large dictionary, and illustrated books whose characters appear to leap off the page.

The Act of 1737 for licensing plays, playhouses, and players, and legalising the power the Lord Chamberlain had long been accustomed to exercise, although readily passed by both Houses of Parliament, gave great offence to the public. The Abbe Le Blanc, who was visiting England at this period, describes the new law as provoking an `universal murmur in the nation.` It was openly complained of in the newspapers , at the coffee-houses it was denounced as unjust and ` contrary to the liberties of the people of England.` Fear prevailed that the freedom of the press would next be invaded. In the House of Lords Chesterfield had stigmatised the measure both as an encroachment on liberty and an attack on property. ` Wit, my lords,` he said, ` is a sort of property…. [detailed...]

Feeling that life is passing him by, Emmett, a middle-aged medical textbook editor, decides to wake up early each day to sit by a fire in his country house and record his thoughts in a diary. `Good morning,` Emmett begins, `it`s January and its 4:17 a.m., and I`m going to sit here in the dark.` From this vantage point, Emmett reflects stream-of-consciousness style on whatever occurs to him, no matter how mundane: his recent trip to Home Depot, how he met his wife, the habits of the family duck. Routines, such as how he makes his morning coffee in the dark or picks up his underwear with his toes, are described with childlike reverence and directness. All told, nothing much happens in A Box of Matches , which seems to be the point. Baker is more interested in the idea that for many, life is made up of such… [detailed...]
