Book Description
Henry Sayer, a New York City investor with an uncanny knack for making people money, had made it to the top of the financial game, maintaining his reputation of honesty and integrity. He was enjoying that life of celebrity and penthouse high society until less-scrupulous people decided to throw him from his pedestal. Suddenly, he found himself scrounging for his very existence in the Deep South, stripped of his envied status and reputation, even his clothes. As he was forced to live life on the lam, hiding from everyone, his only hope was to make his way back home to collect the evidence that would prove his innocence and help him avoid a life of imprisonment. It's an uphill battle back to the top, but there's something in store for everyone who crosses his path.

ISBN: 1514487918

Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
Extremes of Crossed Paths: Book 1 is a fiction based on true experience. Molo, a region in Rift Valley, Kenya, hived from the favor of God and handed over to the cruelty of extremely ungrateful and manipulative demagogues, saw the underhand authorities revel on bloodshed without regret. There was condemnation to generations comprised of the overly trusting innocent communities driven to wield weapons against one another without any idea what hit them. Communities with unlimited desires to scale the world to heights of civility called out for reason as their offspring bore the full consequences of unsuspected bitterness and cruelty harbored by individuals who were good neighbors but were bent on wiping the entire generations that believed in intercommunity coexistence. Such was the brutality that was meted to the most unsuspecting candidates of genocide. It came too close to wipe the region of Molo South off the map of Kenya. That which would thrive in the decimation of the noble cause and create unlimited despondency when the world watched without raising a finger to rescue. As the younger generation found solace in the USA, a land far away from home with stakes too high, they had to dig for the new environment, balancing pain and bitterness of their past, versus the new cultural order to achieve their dire need for resources to uplift families, yet that too couldnt turn the mixture of signals that were constantly indicative of a resumption of the earlier tribulation. And the extremes of their crossed paths resulted in only what they knew too wellmore anguish.

Infinite Paths to Infinite Reality
Author: Ayon Maharaj
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190868244
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Sri Ramakrishna is widely known as a nineteenth-century Indian mystic who affirmed the harmony of all religions on the basis of his richly varied spiritual experiences and eclectic religious practices, both Hindu and non-Hindu. In Infinite Paths to Infinite Reality, Ayon Maharaj argues that Sri Ramakrishna was also a sophisticated philosopher of great contemporary relevance. Through a careful study of Sri Ramakrishna's recorded oral teachings in the original Bengali, Maharaj reconstructs his philosophical positions and analyzes them from a cross-cultural perspective. Sri Ramakrishna's spiritual journey culminated in the exalted state of "vijñana," his term for the "intimate knowledge" of God as the Infinite Reality that is both personal and impersonal, with and without form, immanent in the universe and beyond it. This expansive spiritual standpoint of vijñana, Maharaj contends, opens up a new paradigm for addressing central issues in cross-cultural philosophy of religion, including divine infinitude, religious pluralism, mystical experience, and the problem of evil. Sri Ramakrishna's vijñana-based religious pluralism--when grasped in all its subtlety--proves to have major philosophical advantages over dominant Western models. Moreover, his mystical testimony and teachings not only cut across long-standing debates about the nature of mystical experience but also bolster recent defenses of its epistemic value. Maharaj further demonstrates that Sri Ramakrishna's unique response to the problem of evil resonates strongly with Western "soul-making" theodicies and contemporary theories of skeptical theism. A pioneering interdisciplinary study of one of India's most important philosopher-mystics, Maharaj's book is essential reading for scholars and students in philosophy of religion, theology, religious studies, and Hindu studies.

A humorous tale about acceptance, social justice and keeping an open mind.

But the mayor of the boy’s town won’t have it. He makes a proclamation, “NO ALLIGATORS! Blah, blah, blah.” Which the townspeople agree with, at first. Then they realize how friendly the alligator is (and how nice it is to have someone eat their leftovers!), and they want him to stay. Can they all come together and find a way to keep the alligator in their town? See you later, alligator? Not if these townspeople can help it!

Field Man
Author: Julian D. Hayden
Publisher: University of Arizona Press
ISBN: 0816535434
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Field Man is the captivating memoir of renowned southwestern archaeologist Julian Dodge Hayden, a man who held no professional degree or faculty position but who camped and argued with a who's who of the discipline, including Emil Haury, Malcolm Rogers, Paul Ezell, and Norman Tindale. This is the personal story of a blue-collar scholar who bucked the conventional thinking on the antiquity of man in the New World, who brought a formidable pragmatism and "hand sense" to the identification of stone tools, and who is remembered as the leading authority on the prehistory of the Sierra Pinacate in northwestern Mexico. But Field Man is also an evocative recollection of a bygone time and place, a time when archaeological trips to the Southwest were "expeditions," when a man might run a Civilian Conservation Corps crew by day and study the artifacts of ancient peoples by night, when one could honeymoon by a still-full Gila River, and when a Model T pickup needed extra transmissions to tackle the back roads of Arizona. To say that Julian Hayden led an eventful life would be an understatement. He accompanied his father, a Harvard-trained archaeologist, on influential excavations, became a crew chief in his own right, taught himself silversmithing, married a "city girl," helped build the Yuma Air Field, worked as a civilian safety officer, and was a friend and mentor to countless students. He also crossed paths with leading figures in other fields. Barry Goldwater and even Frank Lloyd Wright turn up in this wide-ranging narrative of a "desert rat" who was at once a throwback and--as he only half-jokingly suggests--ahead of his time. Field Man is the product of years of interviews with Hayden conducted by his colleagues and friends Bill Broyles and Diane Boyer. It is introduced by noted southwestern anthropologist J. Jefferson Reid, and contains an epilogue by Steve Hayden, one of Julian's sons.
