Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In The Least Among Us, James Traveler shares the stories of six homeless women in order 'to inject compassion into the numb consciences of those who would write them off.'

But what about your deepest desires. If you were an architect and could design the life of your dreams, what would it be like ' 'I'm still in a time of life where I'm seeking out a man,' she said. 'I'm still in the game. I still try to be enticing. I want to let my special guy know that I'm still a lady. Right now, I might not look it, but underneath, that's what I am. 'I may not have anything material to offer a guy, but I do have ideas, information, and know-how. I can run a household and hold a job to help with the bills. I'd like to have a garden and grow things for our table. And I know how to love. 'If I had a guy, I'd make him happy. I'd listen to him, pay attention, understand him, and I'd be patient. If he respected me, I'd respect him and help him prosper.' I asked Alicia what she meant by 'prosper.' 'If I loved a guy,' she said, 'everything he did, everything we did together, would work out and bear fruit.'.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Somewhere To Return contains nine engaging tales from the mind of Spencer M. Farmans, a lifelong Midwesterner from the city of Downers Grove, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. The book fascinatingly examines people and landscapes, which span a time from innocent childhood to the reality of old age. The stories independently work as short stories yet are also an integral part of the complete novella. In 'Mister Billy,' the book begins with a provocative observation of the book's protagonist, Adam Franks, an eight-year-old little boy's fear of a paralyzed neighbor, and how his fanciful illusions are about to dissolve into the reality of truth. 'Of Fathers and Sons' addresses the terror that many people harbor about the obstacles in the wake of personal dreams (a central theme in the book) brought about by parents. The dilemma of holding to one's dreams or selling out to the practical world of a safe survival mark the compelling lessons in 'A Touch of Magic', 'A Diamond in the Ruff', 'First Love', and the title of the book, as well as the title of the last story, 'Somewhere To Return'. Also, much attention is paid to the importance of other human beings' great influences as heroes or mentors upon the protagonist's search for meaning and his attempt to fulfill dreams. Finally, interspersed throughout the book and accenting the stories are the graceful and beautifully colorful oil paintings of Rosalind Farmans Halikis.About the AuthorSpencer Farmans is the author of four previous books of poetry, essays, and editor of two collections of short stories. He has published feature articles in the Chicago Sun-Times and The National Herald newspapers. His books include Thirty-Three Poems (2001), Statues and Trees (2006), Is That What I Mean (2012), and Vignettes, Meditations & Memories (2018).

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Florida's Ice Age was vastly different from what the North experienced. Ice Age Florida: In Story and Art investigates and illustrates the fascinating fossil record and history of the Gulf Coast compared to what most envision when the term Ice Age comes up. The author takes the reader along on his initial and developing interest in fossil diving and details his insatiable curiosity about the fauna of Florida's Ice Age, all vividly represented by the amazing artwork of Hermann Trappman.About the AuthorIn 1993, Robert W. Sinibaldi began diving for fossils, and by 1998 he wrote Fossil Diving in Florida's Waters, a book used by many Gulf Coast dive shops to certify divers interested in underwater paleontology. In 2001 he was elected President of the Tampa Bay Fossil Club, the world's largest amateur paleontological association at the time; he remains on their board of directors to this date. Over the years he has donated hundreds of fossils to the Florida Museum of Natural History's Vertebrate Paleontology Department for study, and to add to their permanent collections. In 1999, Sinibaldi was the only amateur invited to speak at the University of Florida's Paleofest Conference. In 2011, Sinibaldi wrote What Your Fossils Can Tell You: Vertebrate Morphology, Pathology, and Cultural Modification, which was published by the University of Florida Press. This textbook broke down the technical scientific literature in paleontology and made it accessible to the avid amateur and undergraduate paleontologists. Sinibaldi has traveled throughout the state of Florida giving lectures at paleontological societies, museums, and libraries. He has published more than 400 book reviews over the past twenty-five years in various fossil newsletters. In 2012, Sinibaldi received the prestigious Howard Converse Award from the University of Florida's Vertebrate Paleontology Department for his contributions to the field. By profession Sinibaldi was an adapted physical education teacher and awarded the National PE Teacher of the Year in 2011 for his work with students with special needs. He has since retired and focuses full-time on paleontological pursuits. He has published more than fifty professional journal articles in his field of exceptional child education and has presented well over 100 times at district, state, and national level on both exceptional child education, physical education, and as a motivational 'Keynote' speaker.
