Determining Your Legacy
Author: Larry Zachrich
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781545254745
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
"Determining Your Legacy" begins as a focus on how impressions are formed and the reality that they are typically fast, accurate, and long-lasting. However, the value of impressions vanishes when we realize that our perceptions of others are often biased by deceit. When our judgments are betrayed, we realize the value of genuine influences formed by long-term relationships, relatives, experienced colleagues, and spiritual leaders. Once we comprehend the power of impressions, we realize that we also communicate an impression on others. When we become aware of our influence on others around us, we may think more carefully about our actions and consider our impact on others. As we steer the development of our lasting impression, we create our legacy. "Determining Your Legacy" was written to illuminate the impact of impressions on our lives and to enhance our ability to perceive those influences. The power of impressions is revealed through real-life stories, and the significance of lasting impressions on life's decisions is clarified. Once we realize the power of genuine impressions, we may determine our lasting legacy for others as a contribution to those who follow us.

A Tongue in the Mouth of the Dying
Author: Laurie Ann Guerrero
Publisher: University of Notre Dame Pess
ISBN: 0268080739
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
Filled with the nuanced beauty and complexity of the everyday—a pot of beans, a goat carcass, embroidered linens, a grandfather’s cancer—A Tongue in the Mouth of the Dying journeys through the inherited fear of creation and destruction. The histories of South Texas and its people unfold in Laurie Ann Guerrero’s stirring language, including the dehumanization of men and its consequences on women and children. Guerrero’s tongue becomes a palpable border, occupying those liminal spaces that both unite and divide, inviting readers to consider that which is known and unknown: the body. Guerrero explores not just the right, but the ability to speak and fight for oneself, one's children, one's community—in poems that testify how, too often, we fail to see the power reflected in the mirror.

Gutenberg’s Fingerprint

Publisher: ECW Press
ISBN: 1773050028
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
An intimate narrative exploring the past, present, and future of books Four seismic shifts have rocked human communication: the invention of writing, the alphabet, mechanical type and the printing press, and digitization. Poised over this fourth transition, e-reader in one hand, perfect-bound book in the other, Merilyn Simonds — author, literary maven, and early adopter — asks herself: what is lost and what is gained as paper turns to pixel? Gutenberg’s Fingerprint trolls the past, present, and evolving future of the book in search of an answer. Part memoir and part philosophical and historical exploration, the book finds its muse in Hugh Barclay, who produces gorgeous books on a hand-operated antique letterpress. As Simonds works alongside this born-again Gutenberg, and with her son to develop a digital edition of the same book, her assumptions about reading, writing, the nature of creativity, and the value of imperfection are toppled. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Times; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000} span.s1 {font-kerning: none} Gutenberg’s Fingerprint is a timely and fascinating book that explores the myths, inventions, and consequences of the digital shift and how we read today.

The Magicians and Mrs. Quent
Author: Galen Beckett
Publisher: Bantam
ISBN: 0553905406
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 644
Book Description
In this enchanting debut novel, Galen Beckett weaves a dazzling spell of adventure and suspense, evoking a world of high magick and genteel society—a world where one young woman discovers that her modest life is far more extraordinary than she ever imagined. Of the three Lockwell sisters—romantic Lily, prophetic Rose, and studious Ivy—all agree that it’s the eldest, the book-loving Ivy, who has held the family together ever since their father’s retreat into his silent vigil in the library upstairs. Everyone blames Mr. Lockwell’s malady on his magickal studies, but Ivy alone still believes—both in magic and in its power to bring her father back. But there are others in the world who believe in magick as well. Over the years, Ivy has glimpsed them—the strangers in black topcoats and hats who appear at the door, strangers of whom their mother will never speak. Ivy once thought them secret benefactors, but now she’s not so certain. After tragedy strikes, Ivy takes a job with the reclusive Mr. Quent in a desperate effort to preserve her family. It’s only then that she discovers the fate she shares with a jaded young nobleman named Dashton Rafferdy, his ambitious friend Eldyn Garritt, and a secret society of highwaymen, revolutionaries, illusionists, and spies who populate the island nation of Altania. For there is far more to Altania than meets the eye and more to magick than mere fashion. And in the act of saving her father, Ivy will determine whether the world faces a new dawn—or an everlasting night. . . .
