The Nefelibata
Author: Courtney C Trowman

ISBN: 1326989065
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
The Nefelibata tells the story, or rather many stories, through prose, free verse poetry and haiku of someone who does not obey the conventions of society, literature or art. It asks you to live in the clouds of your own imagination... to rebel against societal expectations...to feel the earth through your bare feet and soul ... to travel and leave life behind for a while to let the spirit of the landscape and architecture move you... to appropriately mourn the endings of things ... and most importantly allow yourself to change your mind, your heart, and your life in the continual effort of expansion and standing tall in your authenticity. It is about evolution ... the evolution through love.

The Totally True Story of Gracie Byrne
Author: Shannon Takaoka
Publisher: Candlewick Press
ISBN: 1536234311
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Gracie feels like a minor character in her own life story—until a mysterious journal turns her fictional stories into reality. It’s 1987, and sixteen-year-old Gracie Byrne wishes her life were totally different. Shy and awkward, she has trouble fitting in at her new school, she’s still reeling from her parents’ divorce, and her grandmother Katherine’s Alzheimer’s is getting worse. So when Gracie finds a blank journal in Katherine’s vanity drawer, she begins writing stories about herself—a more popular version of herself, that is. But then the hot guy in her art class describes a dream he had about her—the exact scene she wrote about him in her journal—and Gracie realizes that she can create any reality she wants, from acing tests to winning the attention of her previously indifferent classmates. As her ability to change what is into what she wishes it to be grows stronger, though, Gracie starts to second-guess what’s real—especially when it comes to a budding relationship with her cute neighbor, Tom. This compelling story deftly blends friendship, family, and romance . . . and bends the bounds of reality itself.

Making History
Author: Richard Cohen
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1982195800
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 636
Book Description
A “supremely entertaining” (The New Yorker) exploration of who gets to record the world’s history—from Julius Caesar to William Shakespeare to Ken Burns—and how their biases influence our understanding about the past. There are many stories we can spin about previous ages, but which accounts get told? And by whom? Is there even such a thing as “objective” history? In this “witty, wise, and elegant” (The Spectator), book, Richard Cohen reveals how professional historians and other equally significant witnesses, such as the writers of the Bible, novelists, and political propagandists, influence what becomes the accepted record. Cohen argues, for example, that some historians are practitioners of “Bad History” and twist reality to glorify themselves or their country. “Scholarly, lively, quotable, up-to-date, and fun” (Hilary Mantel, author of the bestselling Thomas Cromwell trilogy), Making History investigates the published works and private utterances of our greatest chroniclers to discover the agendas that informed their—and our—views of the world. From the origins of history writing, when such an activity itself seemed revolutionary, through to television and the digital age, Cohen brings captivating figures to vivid light, from Thucydides and Tacitus to Voltaire and Gibbon, Winston Churchill and Henry Louis Gates. Rich in complex truths and surprising anecdotes, the result is a revealing exploration of both the aims and art of history-making, one that will lead us to rethink how we learn about our past and about ourselves.
