A Carpenter's Daughter
Author: Renny Christopher
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9087908377
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
A Carpenter’s Daughter is the story of the difficulties and rewards of the educational system for one who was not meant to go through it. The single most reliable predictor of whether someone will earn a BA is whether at least one of their parents has one-yet, today, there are an increasing number of first-generation college students. A Carpenter’s Daughter is both a memoir of the author’s experiences growing up, going to school, and becoming an academic and a thoughtful commentary on the meaning of class in American culture. By connecting her own story with ideas from scholarly works on class and identity, Christopher shows how her individual experiences reflect common struggles that people of working-class background face when their education, profession, income, and lifestyles change. This work reminds us forcefully that "moving up" isn't necessarily good and that changing one’s class isn't as simple as going to class or even becoming the teacher of the class.—Sherry Linkon, author of Teaching Working Class The work is stellar, merging the tangled and complex webs of social mobility through education in ways that leave lots of loose ends dangling just the way it should. No pretty bows adorning carefully wrapped packages here. No straight and narrow trajectory toward a mainstream version of success. Instead, readers will be pulled along by nuanced narratives portraying the warped nature of society’s construction of success and a careful crafting of the book in its entirety as a disjointed text presenting shards of a life that can never be visible in a tidied-up tale.—Stephanie Jones, University of Georgia

Book Description
Karen Carpenter was the instantly recognisable lead singer of the Carpenters. The top-selling American musical act of the 1970s, they delivered the love songs that defined a generation. Karen's velvety voice on a string of 16 consecutive Top 20 hits from 1970 to 1976 – including Close to You, We've Only Just Begun, Rainy Days and Mondays, Superstar, and Hurting Each Other – propelled the duo to worldwide stardom and record sales of over 100 million. Karen's musical career was short – only 13 years. During that time, the Carpenters released 10 studio albums, toured more than 200 days a year, taped five television specials, and won three Grammys and an American Music Award. But that's only part of Karen's story. As the world received news of her death at 32 years of age in 1983, she became the proverbial poster child for anorexia nervosa. Little Girl Blue is an intimate profile of Karen Carpenter, a girl from a modest Connecticut upbringing who became a Superstar. Based on exclusive interviews with nearly 100 friends and associates, including record producers, studio musicians, songwriters, television directors, photographers, radio personalities, classmates, childhood friends, neighbours, personal assistants, romantic interests, hairdressers, and housekeepers.'...thorough and affectionate biography of a singer who's been constantly undervalued by the music industry.' MOJO 'Schmidt cannot be faulted... carefully factual, sensitively pitched book.' The Word 'The first truly convincing account of her nightmarish story.' The Guardian

Pages : 55
Book Description
This book is a highly focused handbook on how Dr. Reich's cancer killing machine worked. This book also explains with diagrams and parts lists how to build and use Dr. Reich's cancer killing Technology to stop cancer. This book shall not delve into Dr. Reich's early and extensive work with Bion samples nor “Bion Radiation”. This is explained in Dr. Reich's book The Cancer Biopathy. Dr. James DeMeo also has scientific papers and information on Dr. Reich's Bion samples – see the Bibliography. This book, in Part-1, briefly reviews how Dr. Reich discovered the Orgone, bion radiation and the Orgone Accumulator. This book shall then explain what Dr. Reich's Orgone is and then because of his exposure to Bion radiation over many years how Dr. Reich made a fundamental mistake. This book shall then explain how Dr. Reich's Orgone Accumulator works. Lastly in Part-1, this book shall provide the information that he tried to share with the world – his Orgone Accumulator stops cancer! Part-2 of this book explains how to build and use various Orgone Accumulators of Dr. Reich's design to stop cancer! My friend and mentor started this book and then set it aside. He is an Engineer. My first degree was a Bachelor of Science in Engineering. My first masters degree was in Bio-Chemical Engineering and my second doctorate was medical pathology. I was aware of my friends early work however I was not aware of the Quantum Holographic nature of the technology that he had discovered and tested. He allowed me to pick up this project and take it to the finish line. I sincerely hope this book helps all who need it. SJT Qi Press Ver 1.1 July 2021
