Book Description
Life problems generally have subjective issues, and the habit of cigarette smoking is no exception. Unless these subjectivities or the individual perceptive mindsets are internally observed or understood ‘as-it-is’, the problems cannot be resolved through external remedies alone. Silent Mutiny is the nectar of the Author’s personal self-explorative journey and contains approaches that are individualistic, independent and also touch upon lessons learned or insights into universal strategies. INTERESTED READERS CAN WITNESS AN EXPERIENTIAL STORY FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE. 44 Transformational stories made the author's inward journey meaningful and to move closer to realizing 'The Truth'. Prologue Am I holding my smoking habit for fun? Or, does the addiction fasten me to hold on? Can I fix something else responsible? Or, can I deny I’m not sensible? Can I ever breathe ‘freedom’? Or, do I have the guts to explore my wisdom? Am I the Body or the Mind? Or, can I find out who is governing me? Am I an intelligent person? Or, can I employ my intellect? Am I the user of my intellect? Then who am I? Many such questions came up in my mind, Long after drawn into this smoky wind; Not successful in my attempts to quit, As the needed attention not given to it; Been searching solutions outside unknowingly, And reacted to get answers to these questions foolishly! Sat back and worked out to discover the secret, And paid special attention to understand my habit; For the smoking routines, cultivated abilities to respond, And tried to understand the ‘nature of mind’; Then happily harvested the yields of harmony, Buried deep inside the Body, Mind, Intelligence and Intellect. Often feared on seeing shadows in smoky darkness, Remained in it and waged futile fights; Lacked courage to face life’s meanings, Failed to experience beyond the practice of smoking; Had good skill in lighting cigarettes even in stormy wind, Realized to focus my Mind – Intellect – to ‘light a lamp’ in my Heart!

Red Mutiny
Author: Neal Bascomb
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
ISBN: 0547348452
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 413
Book Description
In 1905 more than seven hundred Russian sailors mutinied against their officers aboard the battleship Potemkin, one of the most powerful battleships in the world. Led by the charismatic firebrand Matyushenko, they risked their lives to take control of their ship and fly the red flag of revolution. What followed was a violent port-to-port chase that spanned eleven harrowing days and came to symbolize the Russian Revolution itself. This pulse-pounding story alternates between the opulent court of Nicholas II and the drama on the high seas. Neal Bascomb combines extensive research and fresh information from Soviet archives to tell the true story of the deadliest naval mutiny in history. Red Mutiny is a terrific adventure filled with epic naval battles, heroic sacrifices, treachery, bloodlust, and the rallying cries of freedom.

Alarms and Discursions
Author: Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Publisher: Jazzybee Verlag
ISBN: 3849677664
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
If Mr. Chesterton had been permitted to have his own way this handful of papers would have been sent out under the title of "Gargoyles." Perhaps the publisher foresaw horror upon the faces of really unimaginative readers when once brought face to face with a "monster" title; so it was changed to "Alarms and discursions," as indefinite and capable of possibilities as one could wish. "Fragments of futile journalism or fleeting impressions," Mr. Chesterton calls his essays. "This row of shapeless and ungainly monsters . . . does not consist of separate idols cut out capriciously in lonely valleys or various islands. These monsters are meant for the gargoyles of a definite cathedral. I have to carve the gargoyles, because I can carve nothing else; I leave to others the angels and the arches and the spires." Forty essays, in which excellent common sense and brilliantly phrased wisdom mingle with sheer nonsense.

Finding Our Way Home
Author: Nikki Simpson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351065521
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Finding Our Way Home: Women’s Accounts of Being Sent to Boarding School shares the personal stories of sixteen women, all of whom were sent away to board at an early age. Their accounts delve into the depths of long suppressed emotions and feelings, and the lifelong impact that the early separation from their families has had. Much has been written about the impact of ‘boarding school syndrome’ on male boarders, but less about their female counterparts. This book is the first to explore the experience from a purely female perspective, and offers an intriguing insight into the world of boarding schools and the upbringing of girls born in the mid-to-late 20th century. Finding Our Way Home is a book for everyone who ever attended boarding school, as well as psychotherapists and counsellors working with boarding school survivors.

The Legacy of the Great War
Author: Jay Winter
Publisher: University of Missouri Press
ISBN: 0826271995
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
In late 2007 and early 2008, world-renowned historians gathered in Kansas City for a series of public forums on World War I. Each of the five events focused on a particular topic and featured spirited dialogue between its prominent participants. In spontaneous exchanges, the eminent scholars probed each other’s arguments, learned from each other, and provided insights not just into history but also into the way scholars think about their subject alongside and at times in conflict with their colleagues. Representing a fourth generation of writers on the Great War and a transnational rather than an international approach, prominent historians Niall Ferguson and Paul Kennedy, Holger Afflerbach and Gary Sheffield, John Horne and Len Smith, John Milton Cooper and Margaret MacMillan, and Jay Winter and Robert Wohl brought to the proceedings an exciting clash of ideas. The forums addressed topics about the Great War that have long fascinated both scholars and the educated public: the origins of the war and the question of who was responsible for the escalation of the July Crisis; the nature of generalship and military command, seen here from the perspectives of a German and a British scholar; the private soldiers’ experiences of combat, revealing their strategies of survival and negotiation; the peace-making process and the overwhelming pressures under which statesmen worked; and the long-term cultural consequences of the war—showing that the Great War was “great” not merely because of its magnitude but also because of its revolutionary effects. These topics continue to reverberate, and in addition to shedding new light on the subjects, these forums constitute a glimpse at how historical writing happens. American society did not suffer the consequences of the Great War that virtually all European countries knew—a lack of perspective that the National World War I Museum seeks to correct. This book celebrates that effort, helping readers feel the excitement and the moral seriousness of historical scholarship in this field and drawing more Americans into considering how their own history is part of this story.

Shelley's Process
Author: Jerrold E. Hogle
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019536371X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
In this set of thorough and revisionary readings of Percy Bysshe Shelley's best-known writings in verse and prose, Hogle argues that the logic and style in all these works are governed by a movement in every thought, memory, image, or word-pattern whereby each is seen and sees itself in terms of a radically different form. For any specified entity or figure to be known for "what it is," it must be reconfigured by and in terms of another one at another level (which must then be dislocated itself). In so delineating Shelley's "process," Hogle reveals the revisionary procedure in the poet's various texts and demonstrates the powerful effects of "radical transference" in Shelley's visions of human possibility.
