Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Set in the early Eighties, A Sky for Arcadia is the story of a woman named Mary Ann, who awakens from the nightmare of an attempted suicide to what she considers the nightmare of daily life. This book chronicles her struggle to live without alcohol and drugs while trying to save a business, her surviving child, and what remains of her soul. Poignant, insightful, and sometimes painfully honest, A Sky for Arcadia explores the fact of living in an imperfect world, where dreams may not come true and the ending is not always happily ever after. But we must deal with this reality and accepting this is the litmus test which separates those who - while stumbling on life's obstacles and falling down - choose to stand up again, and those who remain lying down and whimpering. So Mary Ann decides to re-examine herself, to struggle to be free of drugs and alcohol, and somehow act like a responsible parent. Always afraid of feeling too much or not enough, the day finally came when she was content with the happiness that warms her being as she looks at the starry night sky. This is her story - and knowing how she made her journey may change you forever.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This is a step by step account of Rosa Parks intentional role in sparking the modern Civil Rights Movement of the 1950's.

Ferguson, Separate but Equal. Included are excerpts of the trial to demonstrate that she was threatened with hard labor on the Chain Gang if she lost the case. The court would force her to pay all cost involved in the supreme court case . She repeatedly refused and pressed forward.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Book Summary - LongThe story opens with Calypso Greener, that most stalwart of politically correct journalists, winging his way out to Hollywood where he has an opportunity to star in a new game show, What Would You Do For A Million He is very excited to be heading to that liberal nirvana, but on the plane, he meets up with left wing blogger, Yank Feral, a new breed of political warrior who very bluntly educates Calypso about the true nature of the brutish battle for America's soul. Nevertheless his rude treatment, Calypso's enthusiasm is unquenchable because he not only has a shot at winning a million dollars, but also a chance to become one of the beautiful people with whom he shares so much in common. Unfortunately, his first meeting with the producer of the show - the odious billionaire media mogul, Flash Flake - goes horribly wrong, but because of an ulterior motive, Flake gives Calypso a second chance and even invites him to a Halloween party at the Fleshpot palace. To mingle with the Fleshpot Beavers is a dream come true for Calypso and at the palace, he runs into assorted liberal wackos and even America's foremost enemy, Osama Bin Laden, who has not only found the perfect hiding place, but apparently enjoys a very friendly relationship with the Hollywood elite.True to form, Calypso gets wasted at the party and then spends the night with a woman whom he thinks is Flash Flake's niece. The next morning he runs out on her, thinking he has blown his chance at stardom, but his faithful limo driver convinces him to pursue his dream and thus Calypso meets with the very weird bigwigs of Flash Flake Studios, getting to see first hand the lunacy that passes for high style in Hollywood. Though continually spurned, Calypso's lust to become one of the beautiful people is insatiable and he gratefully accepts an invitation to Flake's mansion for a barbecue. Once there, he deduces that Flake is out to get him and hides, thus becoming an accidental witness to an infamous historical event - a face-to-face meeting between the Democrat Congressional leadership and Osama Bin Laden! Calypso gets caught by the terrorists, but is rescued by Flake because he wants to use Calypso as a pawn in the game show, but, by wits and guile, Calypso ostensibly outfoxes the overweening billionaire and puts himself on a sure track to win the million dollar prize. The shrewd Flake plays along, even feting Calypso during a celebrity gala hosted by Hypocritical Whore and the High Priestess of the Church of Global Warming, Mother Climate-Change, but the billionaire media mogul is a shameless double dealer and because of his machinations, Calypso loses out on the million and is humiliated on national television. Thus, the stalwart liberal reporter must head back to Washington DC with his tail between his legs, forced to kowtow to Yank Feral, who has had a very profitable visit to the left coast.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This is a book about relationship. It is not a how-to or self-help book, but instead an anatomy of the relationship experience itself, its inherent significance and intrinsic value.The relationships that a person has with other people are the central core of that person's existence. The people you meet, the members of your family, those whom you love and even your sworn enemy, are the motivating forces behind everything you do and the reason for your stay on this planet. In short, the meaning of life is relationship.What if life were relationship, pure and simple, the be-all and end-all, the end and the beginning If life is relationship, it is not wealth or fame. It is not winning or acquiring or what you accomplish or where you live or how much education you have or the honors you have been given. It is not how law-abiding you are or how devout you are in your religious faith. Your 'worth' is measured not by your bank account, the property in your name, or the trust you established for your child or children. Your worth is measured by the relationships you have formed in your lifetime and the care with which you have conducted them, and the way that you treated those other persons.This view of people as enmeshed in relationships with others, living in, by, and for them, rejects the Cult of Self and the selfishness nourishing that demon. Your life's meaning is before your eyes each day. In every encounter that you have with another person, every word or glance or touch, life reaches out and embraces you and fulfills your purpose for being here.…
