The Ploughman's Talk (1)
Author: Rich N. Ekegbo
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing
ISBN: 1628572035
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
The time frame for the book is between five and ten years. The setting is the ploughing, harrowing, and harvesting field, where The Ploughman, like the farmer, gives pieces of advice that make those who hid him become better. "If the Holy Book were expressible, The Ploughman's Talk (I) could be Vol. II of the Book of Wisdom, for words of wisdom begin the book, saturate it, and bring it to a close. If one attempts to underline the deep thoughts in the book, he soon gives up, as he finds himself underlining every line. So you just have to peruse on, chew the words, digest them, and nourish your mind, as each page makes you wiser." - Prof. Pita Ejiofor (NPOM) "The Ploughman is a wisdom book of extraordinary excellence, which concretizes tracts of human experiences for those who stumble over it. It is a livewire to all who wish to be wise, or increase in wisdom." - P.N. Anugwu (Ezeukwu of Mbaukwu) "Rich Ekegbo's The Ploughman's Talk is rich in philosophy and the layman's wisdom; rich in understanding and guidance; rich in intellectualism and academe. It is a welcome contribution by a Reverend Father that will serve as a historical, a deserving, and treasurable collection for all to read and behold. I do, hereby, recommend." - Prof. Boniface C.E. Egboka, Ag. Vice-Chancellor, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka "The Ploughman's Talk presents a storehouse of philosophical and witty thought, at once universal and adapted to the Nigerian environment."

John Ploughman's Talk
Author: Charles H. Spurgeon
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1597526274
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
In 'John Ploughman's Talk' I have tried to talk for ploughmen and common people. Hence refined taste and dainty words have been discarded for strong old proverbial expressions and homely phrases. I have aimed my blows at the vices of the many, and tried to inculcate those moral virtues without which men are degraded and miserable. Much that needs be said to the toiling masses would not suit well the pulpit and the Sabbath; these lowly pages may teach thrift and industry all the days of the week, in the cottage and the workshop: and if some learn these lessons I shall not repent the adoption of the rustic style. --from the Preface

Ploughman's Lunch and the Miser's Feast
Author: Brian Yarvin
Publisher: Harvard Common Press
ISBN: 155832772X
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 570
Book Description
Celebrity television chefs like Jamie Oliver and culinary stars like Hugh Fearnely-Wittingstall have made Americans newly aware of the great potential in British cooking. But the new British food revolution is not limited to fine restaurants and television. Within Britain, pub and country inn chefs, newspaper and magazine food writers, and everyday home cooks are taking a renewed interest in their own traditional cuisine, at long last approaching it with more pride than with prejudice. In The Ploughman's Lunch and the Miser's Feast, the American cookbook author, travel writer and professional photographer Brian Yarvin brings these newly rediscovered pleasures to the attention of home cooks on this side of the Atlantic. In 100 recipes, 65 color photos, and dozens of lively sidebars, Yarvin reveals what he has discovered in his numerous walking and driving trips across the length and breadth of Great Britain. His recipes emphasize traditional and down-home dishes as perfected and updated by the best cooks in Britain. They include lots of pub fare, like Fish and Chips, Shepherd's Pie, Ploughman's Lunch, and a host of savory cakes and pasties. There are festive and substantial main courses like Howtowdie, Poached Salmon with White Sauce, and, of course, a splendidly done Beef Wellington. The hard-working Brits love big breakfasts, and there is a chapter devoted to those, while another chapter celebrates the sandwiches, salads, and snacks that are served at tea time. Curry shops have been ubiquitous for so long that Indian food by now is properly British, and Yarvin devotes another chapter to dishes such as Shrimp Biryani and Chicken Korma. A big chapter, too, shows us how to make the best-loved British sweets, from the humbly named Plum Pudding and Mincemeat Cake to the amusingly monikered Fast Rascals, Kentish Huffkins, and Welsh Dripping Cake.

The Last Nomad
Author: Shugri Said Salh
Publisher: Algonquin Books
ISBN: 1643751743
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
A remarkable and inspiring true story that "stuns with raw beauty" about one woman's resilience, her courageous journey to America, and her family's lost way of life. Winner of the 2022 Gold Nautilus Award, Multicultural & Indigenous Category Born in Somalia, a spare daughter in a large family, Shugri Said Salh was sent at age six to live with her nomadic grandmother in the desert. The last of her family to learn this once-common way of life, Salh found herself chasing warthogs, climbing termite hills, herding goats, and moving constantly in search of water and grazing lands with her nomadic family. For Salh, though the desert was a harsh place threatened by drought, predators, and enemy clans, it also held beauty, innovation, centuries of tradition, and a way for a young Sufi girl to learn courage and independence from a fearless group of relatives. Salh grew to love the freedom of roaming with her animals and the powerful feeling of community found in nomadic rituals and the oral storytelling of her ancestors. As she came of age, though, both she and her beloved Somalia were forced to confront change, violence, and instability. Salh writes with engaging frankness and a fierce feminism of trying to break free of the patriarchal beliefs of her culture, of her forced female genital mutilation, of the loss of her mother, and of her growing need for independence. Taken from the desert by her strict father and then displaced along with millions of others by the Somali Civil War, Salh fled first to a refugee camp on the Kenyan border and ultimately to North America to learn yet another way of life. Readers will fall in love with Salh on the page as she tells her inspiring story about leaving Africa, learning English, finding love, and embracing a new horizon for herself and her family. Honest and tender, The Last Nomad is a riveting coming-of-age story of resilience, survival, and the shifting definitions of home.

The Talking Horse and the Sad Girl and the Village Under the Sea
Author: Mark Haddon
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307498190
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 79
Book Description
From the phenomenally bestselling author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time comes Mark Haddon’s first collection of poems. That Mark Haddon’s first book after The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is a book of poetry may surprise his many fans; that it is also one of such virtuosity and range will not. The Talking Horse and the Sad Girl and the Village Under the Sea reveals a poet of great versatility and formal talent. All the gifts so admired in Haddon’s prose are in strong evidence here – the humanity, the dark humour, and the uncanny ventriloquism – but Haddon is also a writer of considerable seriousness, lyric power, and surreal invention. This book will consolidate his reputation as one of the most imaginative writers in contemporary literature.
