A Calendar of Reckoning
Author: Dave Margoshes
Publisher: Coteau Books
ISBN: 1550509381
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
With careful attention to detail, and evocative turns of phrase, Dave Margoshes introspectively looks back on youth. Intriguing metaphors, reminiscent of pastoral imagery, create a sharp contrast between the heavy subject matter of one’s own mortality, and the beautiful, evocative comparisons between humanity and the rest of the animal kingdom, particularly birds and trees. Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, is juxtaposed with the desire to give in to temptation, and become one with the world, as Margoshes makes most evident in his final poem, “Wisdom”, a fitting end to a collection that would have the reader struggling between reconciling their past and present.

China Dreams
Author: Jane Golley
Publisher: ANU Press
ISBN: 1760463744
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
The year 2019 marked a number of significant anniversaries for the People’s Republic of China (PRC), each representing different ‘Chinese dreams’. There was the centennial of the May Fourth Movement — a dream of patriotism and cultural renewal. The PRC celebrated its seventieth anniversary — a dream of revolution and national strength. It was also thirty years since the student-led Protest Movement of 1989 — dreams of democracy and free expression crushed by government dreams of unity and stability. Many of these ‘dreams’ recurred in new guises in 2019. President Xi Jinping tightened his grip on power at home while calling for all citizens to ‘defend China’s honour abroad’. Escalating violence in Hong Kong, the ongoing suppression of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, and deteriorating Sino-US relations dominated the headlines. Alongside stories about China’s advances in artificial intelligence and geneticially modified babies and its ambitions in the Antarctic and outer space, these issues fuelled discussion about what Xi’s own ‘China Dream’ of national rejuvenation means for Chinese citizens and the rest of the world. The China Story Yearbook: China Dreams reflects on these issues and more. It surveys the dreams, illusions, aspirations, and nightmares that coexisted (and clashed) in 2019 in China and beyond. As ever, we take a cross-disciplinary perspective that recognises the inextricable links between economy, politics, culture, history, language, and society. The Yearbook, with its accessible analysis of the main events and trends of the year, is an essential tool for understanding China’s growing power and influence around the world.

Dreamer's Dictionary
Author: Garuda
Publisher: Sterling Publishing Company, Inc.

Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
Your dreams are messages direct from the unconscious--so awaken yourself to their significance through correct analysis. Since a dream can have many interpretations depending upon your personal situation, each of the 1,300 alphabetically listed entries provides up to three meanings for each element--symbolic, psychological, and visionary-and then further distinguishes it by context. Because sometimes a cigar is only a cigar; but it could mean you are afraid of reality, about to conclude a business deal, or undergoing sexual urges!
