Book Description
"Suddenly, I woke up in the middle of the night to find my mother lying on the floor in the living room, surrounded by a puddle of blood. She had been shot? Dad had disappeared and the world seemed a blank except for me calling, "Mom! Mom!" Her body, not moving at all. I called her name over and over until the tears blocked my vision. That image, seared into my brain after all this time, still has the same effect on me today as it did back then. Even after years of drug abuse and homelessness, that image?would never be erased from my mind. Things were different after that?I was different."Anthony Brown's dramatic life story has led him to many dark and often dangerous places. Addicted to drugs and alcohol since he was very young, From Park Bench to Park Avenue, details his incredible journey from disfunction and homelessness to recovery and triumph-pursuing his ultimate passion of giving hope and help to those still imprisoned by destructive behaviors and substance abuse. All of the proceeds from From Park Bench to Park Avenue will be used to transform a historic home into Brown Manor - a place of recovery, where individuals can begin a new journey, alcohol and drug free; a place that offers a hand up, not a hand out.

Alone
Author: Christophe Chabouté
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 150115401X
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Available in English for the first time—the internationally bestselling graphic novel and an Official Selection at France’s prestigious Angoulême Internaional Comics Festival by master illustrator-storyteller Chabouté (Park Bench, Moby-Dick). On a tiny lighthouse island far from the rest of the world, a lonely hermit lives out his existence. Every week a supply boat leaves provisions, its occupants never meeting him, never asking the obvious questions: Who are you? Why do you hide? Why do you never leave? What is it like to be so alone? Years spent on a deserted rock—a lifetime, really—with imagination his sole companion has made the lighthouse keeper something more than alone, something else entirely. For him, what lies beyond the horizon might be...nothing. And so, why not stay put? But one day, as a new boatman starts asking the questions all others have avoided, a chain of events unfolds that will irrevocably upend the hermit’s solitary life.... Filled with stunning and richly executed black-and-white illustrations, Alone is Chabouté’s masterpiece—an unforgettable tale where tenderness, despair, and humor intertwine to flawlessly portray how someone can be an everyman, and every man is someone. Translated from the French by Ivanka Hahnenberger.

The Urban Fix
Author: Douglas Kelbaugh
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429614454
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 546
Book Description
Cities are one of the most significant contributors to global climate change. The rapid speed at which urban centers use large amounts of resources adds to the global crisis and can lead to extreme local heat. The Urban Fix addresses how urban design, planning and policies can counter the threats of climate change, urban heat islands and overpopulation, helping cities take full advantage of their inherent advantages and new technologies to catalyze social, cultural and physical solutions to combat the epic, unprecedented challenges humanity faces. The book fills a conspicuous void in the international dialogue on climate change and heat islands by examining both the environmental benefits in developed countries and the population benefit in developing countries. Urban heat islands can be addressed in incremental, manageable steps, such as planting trees and painting roofs white, which provide a more concrete and proactive sense of progress for policymakers and practitioners. This book is invaluable to anyone searching for a better understanding of the impact of resilient cities in the monumental and urgent fight against climate change, and provides the tools to do so.

Park Bench Blessings
Author: Yvette Balboa
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1973649403
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
The artist gazes into her finished panoramic view of a landscape as she sits and deepens her mesmerized stare, opening the window of her soul. What is she feeling? Contentment, love, suffering, or friendship illuminates the life of a park bench where it bows in humbleness. At a distance, a young woman crosses a wooden bridge and sits on a park bench. The various perspectives of blue-sky tones highlight auburn values to accentuate feelings of love, loss, emptiness, and joy. At the forefront of the landscape, an egret patiently waits for the stream’s current to change direction. A hand rests on a park bench, and the message appears on the journal’s cream sketched paper. Lightly, the Park Bench Blessing’s poetic form reveals life’s meandering journey—capturing love, loss, and courage through heartfelt moments intended to share gratitude and contentment with every breath.
