Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
This is a true story set initially in Copster Green, a hamlet, and latterly in Brockhall Village, Lancashire, England. It describes how six cats made their journey from home to home and finally settled down. Part 1 relates to Jet, Rhubarb, and Little from 1991 to 1995. Part 2 relates to Fresco, Litsey, and JJ from 1995 to 2012. In part 1, the story is written as experienced by Jet. In part 2, the story is written as experienced by Fresco. The story demonstrates how cats can sensitively perceive the actions of human beings. The writing makes its greatest contribution in enabling one to understand, in some way, the complex social settings and interactions between cats and people, which can make a difference to both their lives. The author’s wish is that Jet, Rhubarb, Little, Fresco, Litsey, and JJ will always be remembered with great affection and undying love.

Don't Sleep, There are Snakes
Author: Daniel Everett
Publisher: Profile Books
ISBN: 1847651224
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
Although Daniel Everett was a missionary, far from converting the Pirahãs, they converted him. He shows the slow, meticulous steps by which he gradually mastered their language and his gradual realisation that its unusual nature closely reflected its speakers' startlingly original perceptions of the world. Everett describes how he began to realise that his discoveries about the Pirahã language opened up a new way of understanding how language works in our minds and in our lives, and that this way was utterly at odds with Noam Chomsky's universally accepted linguistic theories. The perils of passionate academic opposition were then swiftly conjoined to those of the Amazon in a debate whose outcome has yet to be won. Everett's views are most recently discussed in Tom Wolfe's bestselling The Kingdom of Speech. Adventure, personal enlightenment and the makings of a scientific revolution proceed together in this vivid, funny and moving book.

Where's Your Mama Gone?
Author: Kay O'Gorman
Publisher: Gill & Macmillan Ltd
ISBN: 0717151670
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
How bad does it have to be for a mother to leave? It would have been easy to say that Kay O'Gorman just continued the cycle of her own neglect and abandonment, but she thought that too easy an excuse. It would have been easy to place the blame on her own traumatic childhood, on the early death of her mother, on her domineering but charismatic father. To escape this background, she married early but, like many such marriages, it was not a happy union. She hoped that children would change things, but they did not. Her circumstances grew ever more desperate. Kay fled. She formed a new relationship, but her sense of guilt at having abandoned her children oppressed her to the point that she herself developed problems with alcohol. It took a long time, but finally she sorted out her life. In Where's Your Mama Gone? she writes with unflinching truth about her past and the motivations for her actions. It recalls an Ireland of casual cruelty, all-powerful authority figures, sexual ignorance and non-existent choice.

Author: Pietro Colonna-Romano
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 149905839X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
This is a parable of my generation; a book about what they have made us and what we wanted to be; an acknowledgment that we cannot change the others if we dont first changes ourselves; a surrender to the evidence that changing is a slow and difficult process and it is easier to be in our future the same persons we were in our past; it represents the unfinished work of a generation that had decided to run ahead faster than they could. Ann McMahon was born on June 10, 1946, in Riverton, NJ. She was the second child of a family of Irish immigrants. She receives a traditional catholic education and learns from her mother what church and school cannot teach; the art of living. As a child, life looked like a simple game easy to play. Sustained by the basic principles of conformist living Ann goes, along with all the baby boomers, through the shock waves of her generation; the cultural revolution, the women liberation movement, the Vietnam war, the civil right movement, the Beat generation etc Resolved not to be swayed by the power and appeal of these events she looks at them from a safe distance and proceeds with few doubts and much determination toward her simple dream: a happy family with husband and children. Life, however,comes to be a game difficult to play and becomes marred by questions without simple answers: the tragic death of her sister, the unforeseen relationship with her brother, the unsettled friendship with Cathy, the concealed love for Rob, the overwhelming presence of her mother, the domineering husband, the childrens choices. Unable to change herself or everybody around her, she turns, like others in this story, into a disheartened guard and prisoner of her own culture.
