Things I Want to Remember Not to Forget

Book Description
In Things I Want to Remember Not to Forget Chris Waddell achieves honesty rarely seen. From the drawing on the cover, replete with erased first attempts, he lets us see and benefit from his struggle. His 2011 Middlebury College commencement address provided the genesis of this book that provides great insight and inspiration. "Commencements are glorious moments when a beginning and an ending occupy the same space. In our non-stop lives, they represent an opportunity to pause, to assess the past and to plan for the future. Amidst the reflection, celebration, and optimism lay the landmarks, if we can recognize them." He concludes saying, "If there is anything to take from a graduation speech, it's that everyday should be a graduation. Everyday should be an opportunity to stop, just for a moment, and look forwards and backwards. Otherwise, one day spills into the next. One day becomes ten or twenty years." Between the two thoughts, he makes everyday graduation, inviting us into the start of a ski race, the bright lights of open-mic night at a comedy club, first steps and trying something new like learning to draw. Along the way he introduces us to our best selves--the fun, bright and charismatic ones. Chris Waddell's story is different from ours, but it feels familiar--familiar to the lives that we hope to lead. Things That I Want to Remember Not to Forget is a fun read. Read it once. Reread it again and again. Give it to your friends.

Things I Remember
Author: Patrick Ellam
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1450212573
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
The author is known throughout the world for his daring exploits in the world of sailing. This book gives us a glimpse of his memoirs and experiences that make crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a "18 foot boat seem easy". With a British sense of humor, he tells us his early memories of home, of private schools and the second World War, when he served in the British Expeditionary Force in France and commanded an anti aircraft site with 100 men and 100 women defending London against German bombers. Then a notice said: " VOLUNTEERS ARE URGENTLY NEEDED TO DROP ALONE BY PARACHUTE BEHIND THE ENEMY LINES." So he volunteered and went through Spy School, learning Burglary, Forgery, knife fighting and other useful tools and techniques. His work in German occupied France for the Special Executive was "Top Secret" and could not be told for 50 years until he wrote "Things I Remember". He then joined Force 136 in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and was preparing to parachute into Singapore when the atom bombs were dropped and the war ended. Fasten your seat belts for a roller coaster ride, with laughter and terror, through 20 years of one man's life.

Materializing Memory in Art and Popular Culture
Author: Laszlo Muntean
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1315472163
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
Memory matters. It matters because memory brings the past into the present, and opens it up to the future. But it also matters literally, because memory is mediated materially. Materiality is the stuff of memory. Meaningful objects that we love (or hate) function not only as aide-mémoire but are integral to memory. Drawing on previous scholarship on the interrelation of memory and materiality, this book applies recent theories of new materialism to explore the material dimension of memory in art and popular culture. The book’s underlying premise is twofold: on the one hand, memory is performed, mediated, and stored through the material world that surrounds us; on the other hand, inanimate objects and things also have agency on their own, which affects practices of memory, as well as forgetting. Chapters 1, 4, and 5 of this book are freely available as downloadable Open Access PDFs at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 3.0 license.
