Mudgirls Manifesto
Author: The Mudgirls Natural Building Collective
Publisher: New Society Publishers
ISBN: 1771422653
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Building a Revolution, one handful at a time. In the face of widespread burnout and a world gone crazy, how do we find things to say "yes" to, rather than a resounding "no"? On North America's West Coast, there's a group of rebel women who ten years ago chose to break free from a rigged economic and social system. They didn't take to the streets to lobby banks and governments to change their ways - they didn't have time for that. They had babies to feed and house. They reckoned that if nobody else was going to change the rules to support basic human needs and respect the biosphere, then we are all free to make our own rules. They chose action. They decided to teach themselves how to build houses using the most abundant material on earth - mud. They'd learn by building, gathering skills and allies. They'd have fun, sharing whatever they learned with whoever wanted to come along for the ride. The Mudgirls revolution was born. Part story of rebel women, grassroots self-governance, and community-building, part incendiary political and economic tract, and part practical guide to building natural homes for real people. Mudgirls Manifesto is about respecting the earth, each other, and crafting meaningful lives. A powerful, positive antidote to troubled times.

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Liam's reality unravels when a freak bike accident leaves him with, not only stitches and a headache, but something far more unsettling-mysterious visions.Before the accident, Liam had his life all planned! He was going to be a famous bass player and had just been nominated to play with an elite group of musicians at Carnegie Hall. Then he touches his best friend, Connor's, vintage record album. Suddenly, he's seeing through someone else's eyes. He finds himself in a room hazy with smoke, carpeted in frayed red shag, and paneled in dark wood. He's holding the album cover, but Connor has vanished and a girl wearing a blue tie-dye t-shirt is sitting in front of him on the floor. She's sobbing, uncontrollably. Connor's album has opened a conduit to the girl in the tie-dye shirt and, now, she won't leave him alone. Each time Liam sees her, she's more upset and insistent; looming large in his vision, sobbing, and reaching out to him. She's preventing him from doing the things he loves and he can't get rid of her.Thinking he may be losing his mind, Liam confides in his sister and close group of misfit friends. With the help of a local shop owner, an expert in all things woo-woo, they soon discover that Liam has developed a psychic power - psychometry, the ability to pick up impressions of people or events by touching an object. The last thing Liam wants is a special power and he's desperate to get his life back. The group decides that the only solution is to figure out who the girl is and what she wants from him. They follow the one clue they have: the name Greg Ortman, neatly printed on the album cover. When they ultimately find the man they're seeking, the Misfits must risk their lives to save another and release Liam from the hold of the Girl in the Blue Tie-Dye Shirt.

Book Description
When Sophica was abruptly separated from her father as a toddler, she found a haven in Grandmother Gitté. But one sunny day in July, when she was six years old, gendarmes marching and shouting in the streets stopped her dreamy childhood and her hopes to go to school and to be a big girl like her sister. She was deported together with her mother and the whole of the Jewish community of Mihaileni, Romania. On foot, through icy fields, they arrived in eastern Ukraine, a strip of land called Transnistria. Death, illness, brutality, shame, became her daily scenes. Sophica suffered hunger and fear but kept her hopes and sanity, albeit losing her sister and her father and witnessing her mother being viciously attacked. She survived typhus and starvation by being strong and quiet. Herman was a jolly little boy who didn’t care much needing to wear the yellow star and being forbidden from school. He continued playing outside with his friends while his father and brother were sent to a labor camp. At the age of 14, when the Second World War ended, he joined a Jewish youth movement and embarked on a ship to the Promised Land. However, their journey was interrupted and they were taken to a British detention camp in Cyprus. Sophica and Herman were given new names, Shulamit and Tzvi. They met and made a home in Israel. Shulamit/Sophica never mentioned her sad childhood, but the essence of the past found its ways out. Sixty-five years after those events, her daughter comes across a family secret and starts asking questions, inducing Shulamit to break her silence and become again the frightened little Sophica. This book tells her moving childhood story.
