Book Description
Perched on the edge of The Great Barrier Reef, the city of Mackay is often thought of as being a sweet, peaceful little place that is the perfect place to grow up and raise a family. We have beaches, we have rainforests, we have mountains and cane fields- and we have a very low crime rate compared to most other places.It is hard to imagine that somewhere this perfect and new that is usually drenched in sunlight could ave a dark history, but that's not true. like every other city in the world, unspeakable things have happened here and those dark spots in our past have cast cold shadows over our region- shadows that reach into the deepest corners of the oldest houses, and have forever stained the ground where blood has been shed or tears have fallen.And those shadows want you to know that they're there.Here are just some of their stories.

The Ungrateful Child
Author: Johnson Major
Publisher: Partridge Publishing Singapore
ISBN: 1482827565
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
This is a 98 percent true story as only the names have been changed to keep people involved safe from discrimination, for it is the story that counts, as I do believe names are not important with my journey through life, having the experience and the courage to share and educate, with a different perspective, from anothers point of view. Many events have been left out as every day was a struggle with abuse. Families are what generally make a person who they are as that's where we all come from. Sometimes for a short period of time, or the full length, either way we all have our own story within, for one day to speak for. My books nature consists of family and child abuse, with a journey living through the toughest of times, dealing with the deadliest of setbacks, continuing its toll toward the future, with the scars left behind, contributing further disorientation to a well-intended nature, being the number one destroyer to foundations. The cries could not be heard by one innocent child, who only ever wanted to live happy and be loved the way he did his family, though it wasn't a happy love, but he kept a smile on his face, always finding happiness through all the sadness placed upon him in order to make it through the day. I live my life simple and wish the best for everyone as life is worth living if youre afraid to leave, so I make the most of it. I never will give up again as I almost had, and living life has so much to offer, knowing I have so much to give. Love will set us free through understanding and following happiness, learning late to evade the past and the setbacks, as now I have a family of my own. God bless my wife and child, who are the reason I shine with passion and successful mission as being here is being a winner, though we are not finished yet as Im on a mission to live the longest of time possible. For now, love to live, learn, and continue my journey toward the unseen future of potential. I believe we need to keep strong, look ahead, not back.

Everything That Remains
Author: Joshua Fields Millburn
Publisher: Asymmetrical Press
ISBN: 1938793196
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
What if everything you ever wanted isn’t what you actually want? Twenty-something, suit-clad, and upwardly mobile, Joshua Fields Millburn thought he had everything anyone could ever want. Until he didn’t anymore. Blindsided by the loss of his mother and his marriage in the same month, Millburn started questioning every aspect of the life he had built for himself. Then, he accidentally discovered a lifestyle known as minimalism…and everything started to change. That was four years ago. Since, Millburn, now 32, has embraced simplicity. In the pursuit of looking for something more substantial than compulsory consumption and the broken American Dream, he jettisoned most of his material possessions, paid off loads of crippling debt, and walked away from his six-figure career. So, when everything was gone, what was left? Not a how-to book but a why-to book, Everything That Remains is the touching, surprising story of what happened when one young man decided to let go of everything and begin living more deliberately. Heartrending, uplifting, and deeply personal, this engrossing memoir is peppered with insightful (and often hilarious) interruptions by Ryan Nicodemus, Millburn’s best friend of twenty years.

Remains of Socialism
Author: Maya Nadkarni
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501750194
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
In Remains of Socialism, Maya Nadkarni investigates the changing fates of the socialist past in postsocialist Hungary. She introduces the concept of "remains"—both physical objects and cultural remainders—to analyze all that Hungarians sought to leave behind after the end of state socialism. Spanning more than two decades of postsocialist transformation, Remains of Socialism follows Hungary from the optimism of the early years of transition to its recent right-wing turn toward illiberal democracy. Nadkarni analyzes remains that range from exiled statues of Lenin to the socialist-era "Bambi" soda, and from discredited official histories to the scandalous secrets of the communist regime's informers. She deftly demonstrates that these remains were far more than simply the leftovers of an unwanted past. Ultimately, the struggles to define remains of socialism and settle their fates would represent attempts to determine the future—and to mourn futures that never materialized.

Memories are Made of this
Author: Rusiko Bourtchouladze
Publisher: Weidenfeld & Nicolson
ISBN: 9780297643289
Category : Animal memory
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
Memory is what defines who we are and who others are in our minds. Memory shapes our moral and intellectual personality, and the way we think and behave. Indeed, it would be impossible to live as one person, with an individual history or consciousness, without the memory threads that constantly link our present to our past and future. But why are memories so complex and mysterious? In every instant we are remembering something, but how are memories formed? And why, if remembering is so ordinary, do our memories fail so often? What is happening in the brain when we recall a face, reconstruct the image of a place, or struggle to find an answer that we think we know? Does storage imply that memories are fixed in particular chunks of brain tissue, or is it a dynamic, biologically creative process that involves many different parts of the brain? How long do different memories last?What do genes have to do with memory? And, finally, are we the only creatures that remember and forget, and, if not, are there commonalties in the memories of different species?
