Book Description
Winner of the Man Booker Prize “Everything about this novel rings true. . . . Original, funny, disarmingly oblique and unique.”—The Guardian In an unnamed city, middle sister stands out for the wrong reasons. She reads while walking, for one. And she has been taking French night classes downtown. So when a local paramilitary known as the milkman begins pursuing her, she suddenly becomes “interesting,” the last thing she ever wanted to be. Despite middle sister’s attempts to avoid him—and to keep her mother from finding out about her maybe-boyfriend—rumors spread and the threat of violence lingers. Milkman is a story of the way inaction can have enormous repercussions, in a time when the wrong flag, wrong religion, or even a sunset can be subversive. Told with ferocious energy and sly, wicked humor, Milkman establishes Anna Burns as one of the most consequential voices of our day.

The Milkman Story
Author: Paul Robbins
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1664193677
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
The Milkman Story is an invitation to explore or re-explore the Gospel message. It is told through the eyes of a Jewish carpenter who comes under the mentoring of a Gentile milkman. From their lives we see the milkman as a picture of Jesus who lived and worked amidst the people. Like a milkman, He delivered a wholesome product wherever He went. We also see Him as a Carpenter building a vibrant congregation of lively stones. His message was always fresh from the source and His structure strong, enduring, and splendid in stature. Though history has not always seen “Christians” in that light, it should be the mission and lifestyle of all who follow Him. "I have always been challenged by Paul Robbins' teaching - he speaks with a soft voice but rich wisdom born of his heritage. In this book he brings a fresh perspective to the age-old existential questions we all ask and arrives at undeniable, practical truth." Ruth Graham, author of best-selling In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart ”The Milkman Story is a trove of treasures. Through Paul's amazing life-story and the impact of one authentic Shepherd, it offers simple, ordinary life moments in which we can reflect and discover the profound Kingdom of God transforming the ordinary, not through man's wisdom or skills or strength but through God's love. This is a riveting journey for the heart, mind, and soul.” Weyman Howard, Author, International Speaker and Founder of LOVEWORKS

Book Description
'Game-changing. Katy Milkman shows in this book that we can all be a super human' Angela Duckworth, bestselling author of Grit How to Change is a powerful, groundbreaking blueprint to help you - and anyone you manage, teach or coach - to achieve personal and professional goals, from the master of human nature and behaviour change and Choiceology podcast host Professor Katy Milkman. Award-winning Wharton Professor Katy Milkman has devoted her career to the study of behaviour change. An engineer by training, she approaches all challenges as problems to be solved and, with this mind-set, has drilled into the roadblocks that prevent us from achieving our goals and breaking unwanted behaviours. The key to lasting change, she argues, is not to set ever more audacious goals or to foster good habits but to get your strategy right. In How to Change Milkman identifies seven human impulses, or 'problems', that commonly sabotage our attempts to make positive personal and professional change. Then, crucially, instead of getting you to do battle with these impulses she shows you how to harness them and use these as driving forces to help instil new, positive behaviours - better, faster and more efficiently than you could imagine. Drawing her own original research, countless engaging case studies and practical tools throughout to help you put her ideas into action, Milkman reveals a proven, inspiring path that can take you - once and for all - from where you are today to where you want to be.

Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Brian Wheat is far from your typical rock star. As bassist for the multi-platinum band, Tesla, he’s enjoyed the spoils of success and lived the sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll lifestyle to the hilt. But it came at a cost, one that took years to repair. In this deeply honest and utterly revealing memoir, Wheat sheds light on the many challenges he faces, including bulimia, weight issues, and the crippling anxiety and depression caused by his conditions. Just like the songs his legendary band made, this is no-nonsense, blue-collar storytelling at its best. While revealing the vulnerable human behind the bass guitar, this autobiography also offers tremendous stories of life on the road, and collaborations and encounters with legendary figures like his pals in Def Leppard, David Lee Roth, Alice Cooper, and Paul McCartney. Son of a Milkman will entertain, surprise, and inspire longtime fans of this enduring band.

Little Constructions
Author: Anna Burns
Publisher: Graywolf Press
ISBN: 1644451123
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
The darkly comic second novel from the author of the Man Booker Prize winner Milkman, now available in the United States In the small town of Tiptoe Floorboard, the Doe clan, a close-knit family of criminals and victims, has the run of the place. Yet there are signs that patriarch John Doe’s reign may be coming to an end. When Jetty Doe breaks into a gun store and makes off with a Kalashnikov, the stage is set for a violent confrontation. But while Jetty is making her way across town in a taxi, an elusive, chatty narrator takes us on a wild journey, zooming in and out on various members of the Doe clan with long, digressive riffs that chase down the causes and repercussions of Jetty’s act. Before Milkman took the world by storm after winning the Man Booker Prize, Anna Burns had already honed her distinctive voice. In her second novel, Little Constructions, she exhibits the same linguistic brio, coruscating wit, and scintillating insight into men, women, and the roots of violence. A wickedly funny novel that swoops and spirals as it examines the long shadow of abuse and violent crime, Little Constructions explores what transpires when unspeakable realities, long hidden from view, can no longer be denied.
