Book Description
Published as limited paperback and an unlimited e-book, Paul Chan's Phaedrus Pron recasts Plato's legendary dialog on art, erotic love, and madness as unyielding sexual prose that stretches the limits of intelligibility and sense. "Written" by typesetting the original text with computer fonts created by Chan that transform the conventional alphabet into an array of erotic idiolects, Phaedrus Pron unfolds as a relentless exchange of erotic verse between philosopher and a young man in search of rhyme and reason. Works of art in themselves, the fonts extend the possibilities of writing by rewriting what is written with a simple change of font in your computer: from Times New Roman to... Phaedrus Pron.

God Spoke, I Wrote
Author: Marlene Scott
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1467036153
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
It was at this new church, Lakeside Outreach Ministries that my life really took a turn. I had so many times since my son passed, kept asking God the question, why? I found my answer here. I met so many wonderful people who had so much pain and grief and illnesses in their lives, but, they never lost their faith in God. I began to write about my Pastor, Pastor Kenny Griffin and his church and his people, and when I did, I seen their pain, I felt their suffering. I cannot explain, but, people, even strangers began asking me to write about their loved one who had departed, and then come back to tell me how much the poem had meant to them. This had become my calling, this is what God wanted me to do, and as it became more and more widespread, my involvement with Jesus became more and more, the words were coming so fast, the insight I was seeing, only God knew what was happening to me. I would be nothing, nor would there be any written poetry without God, for when I sit down to write, I say a prayer to God, saying, God, please give me the words to write, and He always would. That is why I call my book of poetry, GOD SPOKE/I WROTE.

Sexual Victimization
Author: Tara N. Richards
Publisher: SAGE Publications
ISBN: 1483354946
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Sexual Victimization: Then and Now provides scholars easy access to information that specifically examines the continuum of sex crimes and the perception of victims by our criminal justice system and society as a whole. This text features contributions from well-known researchers in the field and serves as an important resource to provide scholars with up-to-date research on sexual victimization that will educate students on this complex and evolving challenge for the criminal justice system. The authors approach the concept by examining how the criminal justice system handles sexual victimization, the association between individuals in a relationship and sexual assault, and unusual and special issues associated with contemporary sexual victimization. By discussing these issues, the theoretical explanations for these crimes and the effectiveness of the policy that has been applied will effectively link the criminological areas of theory, research, and policy.

All Kinds of Magic
Author: Piers Moore Ede
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1408808463
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
A personal search for the mystical and miraculous, from the acclaimed author of Honey and Dust 'So sincere and carefully told that the result cannot help but move' Financial Times 'Terrific ... Unpretentious, often funny, but also powerfully expressive of experiences beyond language and reason, it's a book which rises to the challenge of its subject with skill and considerable grace' Wanderlust This is the story of a man who embarked on a quest that many of us have dreamed about. Disillusioned by a world hooked on material wealth and scientific fact, he decided to travel across the globe in search of something more meaningful: the magical, the mystical. His journey takes him from snow-blanketed villages in the Himalayas to tiny, covert communities of whirling dervishes in rural Turkey; from the world's largest religious festival on the banks of the swollen Ganges to a dappled, ancient Sufi quarter in Delhi. Lyrical and clear-sighted, All Kinds of Magic is a fascinating exploration of the hidden world of miracles that is at once deeply personal and universal in its scope.

Terminal evaluation of the first cluster of FAO’s Capacity-building Initiative for Transparency projects
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
The Global Environment Facility’s Capacity-building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) supports developing countries to build institutional and technical capacities to meet the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) requirements. This final evaluation assessed the first cluster of the FAO CBIT projects – national projects in Cambodia, Mongolia and Papua New Guinea, and the global “Agriculture, forestry and other land use” (AFOLU) project. Overall, the evaluation rated the performance of the national CBIT projects under this evaluation as “satisfactory” and that of the Global CBIT-AFOLU project as “highly satisfactory”. Considering the ongoing portfolio of CBIT projects, the evaluation made recommendations for future CBIT projects. Such as: to consider mechanisms and strategies to institutionalize individual learnings and internalize knowledge and practices within and between the ETF-responsible institutions, and to devise knowledge management plans that go beyond communication and information sharing and encompass a detailed analysis of good practices, lessons and mechanisms for institutionalization of knowledge.
