A Sticky Situation
Author: Chuck Hawley
Publisher: Sticky the Kitty, LLC
ISBN: 1792022085
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
The Sticky the Kitty series is based on the true story of a 5 week old kitten that was found covered in glue and stuck to a road in Salem, Oregon. Sticky quickly became a symbol of hope around the world, and his rescuer, Chuck Hawley, used Sticky’s story as the inspiration to write a Children’s Book Series based on empathy, kindness, friendship and that hope that Sticky had inspired. The first book in the series, A Sticky Situation, follows our protagonist, Sticky, through that very scary morning as he sniffs around trying to find his lost family, but instead finds himself covered in glue and stuck to a road, in busy traffic. Sticky tries to ask for help, as car after car zoom right over his head, but he is unable to raise his paws to get anyone’s attention… he’s stuck! Just as Sticky is about to lose all hope, a car stops right in front of him. For a moment, Sticky is relieved. That is until he see’s a large man coming at him… if Sticky wasn’t stuck, he would surely run away. But this man isn’t there to be mean… he is there to help. Sticky puts his faith in this good Samaritan, and before Sticky knows it, he is off the road, wrapped up in his hero’s shirt, and on his way to get cleaned up. Realizing that they need a doctor’s help to remove the glue, Sticky is taken to the vet where is scared all over again. But once again, Sticky learns that even though the doctors may seem scary at first, they are there to help him too. Finally cleaned up and feeling good again, Sticky worries what will happen to him now. He has still lost his family and really wants to stay with his new friend. But maybe the man doesn’t want Sticky to stay with him and maybe the man has a family of his own… It turns out that all of Sticky’s “maybe”s are wrong and Sticky has not only been saved from the road, but he has found a new family to love him. Sticky is introduced to his new family and to his two new dog brothers, JoJo and Stewie, and ends his very scary day, learning the lesson that there are always more helpers. Even when we feel scared and all alone, it’s ok to ask for help. There are always more helpers

Hear's the Thing

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
We live in a world of noise where everyone is so quick to speak. When we slow down and give someone our full attention, we offer them a safe place to be fully heard and accepted. Hear’s the Thing is a story about what is possible when someone is brave enough to listen to others… and, ultimately, themselves without judgement. For Cody Alan, one of country music’s most famous on-air radio and TV personalities, listening to other people has always been a crucial part of his role. It was by fostering his ability to hear others that he discovered the person he most needed to listen to was himself. Listening ultimately led him on a journey of self-discovery where he found the courage to come out as gay, the openness to question spiritually, and the strength to explore a new definition of parenting and family. In his debut memoir, Hear’s the Thing, Cody shares some of the many lessons he’s learned along the way such as: How to actively listen with empathy and without judgment Why a willingness to “let people in” better equips you to receive from others How genuine attentiveness can help you build healthier and deeper relationships The art of listening is often lost but Cody’s story will inspire you to hear that inner voice that is leading you to a deeper connection with yourself and the people around you.

Wording the World
Author: Roma Chatterji
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 0823261875
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 651
Book Description
The essays in this book explore the critical possibilities that have been opened by Veena Das’s work. Taking off from her writing on pain as a call for acknowledgment, several essays explore how social sciences render pain, suffering, and the claims of the other as part of an ethics of responsibility. They search for disciplinary resources to contest the implicit division between those whose pain receives attention and those whose pain is seen as out of sync with the times and hence written out of the historical record. Another theme is the co-constitution of the event and the everyday, especially in the context of violence. Das’s groundbreaking formulation of the everyday provides a frame for understanding how both violence and healing might grow out of it. Drawing on notions of life and voice and the struggle to write one’s own narrative, the contributors provide rich ethnographies of what it is to inhabit a devastated world. Ethics as a form of attentiveness to the other, especially in the context of poverty, deprivation, and the corrosion of everyday life, appears in several of the essays. They take up the classic themes of kinship and obligation but give them entirely new meaning. Finally, anthropology’s affinities with the literary are reflected in a final set of essays that show how forms of knowing in art and in anthropology are related through work with painters, performance artists, and writers.

Category : Fiction

Pages : 359
Book Description
This is the first book in the Morning Bliss trilogy. The multinational corporations have long since snapped office tower from carpark, slithered into the rising waters of global warming and evolved into magnificent living creatures. These now inhabit the great ocean, with their human staff as crew and responsible for their reproduction. Skiff, naive, wildly adventurous and feckless, works as a wage slave - fixed plant operator (oars) - in the huge young male battleship Kincazion. Hordes of battle-mad admirals, bosuns, and all types of bicep-geoffrey also inhabit this city-sized ship. Anthem, a bright and forceful young woman, blue haired, dark skinned and impossibly beautiful, lives in the vast female cathedral Mahandaahl. There she studies at the University of Engineering, an institution mainly devoted to dogmatic rote learning and deportment. She has ambitions in shipbuilding and hopes to get a job with the Committee of Dialectical Purity, which has the task of building the Cathedral's babies. Skiff escapes and, with the vile Ploode after him, aspires to be an admiral while Anthem manages to see through the rigid conformity that has suffocated the cathedral. Together they aim to get the battleship to make love to the cathedral and conceive a baby ship"
