Lionet: A Bumblebee's Loves
Author: Adrie Hastings
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 2211
Book Description
It's a blessed day when Lionet, the first male bumblebee of Queen Amber's underground colony, emerges from his cocoon! But Lionet's first reaction to the world he enters is to fall under the "spell" of the fragrant rosebush, Roslyn, in the nearby garden. Lionet's mother, Amber, assumes Lionet's interest in Roslyn will fade--after all, there is a natural way for bumblebees to behave. For her part, Roslyn, the rosebush, has been gently teaching "her" flowers to always appreciate their heavenly Father, whether dealing with a storm or everyday events. To Queen Amber's chagrin, Lionet's interest in Roslyn doesn't fade, and his life takes on more unexpected turns. On their first foray out of the nest, Lionet and his bumble brother, Brute, end up in mortal danger. Lionet's unusual way of dealing with the danger shocks everyone. Amber wonders what the repercussions of his actions mean to the future of her entire brood. After that, everything Lionet does causes scandal or gets him into trouble. But problems reach their worst when his love, Roslyn, and the precious flowers in her garden are threatened with misery and destruction. Again, with Lionet's way of dealing with the problem, both his courage and unyielding determination threaten to undermine the stability of the entire bumblebee colony. Who will stop him? Amber sees bigger trouble ahead than she could ever have imagined. Does a terrifying journey lie ahead for Lionet? If so, he will be defying Roslyn and everything she has taught her flowers. It's an impossible situation...

A Bumblebee’s Balcony
Author: Sundari Sivasubbu
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1684662699
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
Do you think you are good enough to pursue the dream that you held dear as a child? Or, did you give it up a long time back because someone said that it was foolish, not possible, or that you were not talented enough for your dream? What if the bumblebee had listened to scientists who snubbed its short, stunted, funny wings, and believed that it could not fly? Is it possible to remain unshackled by, and rise above, the assumptions of a society obsessed with ‘normal’? Do you believe that you can be happy at any time, at any point in your life, despite the circumstances? “A Bumblebee’s Balcony” asks these questions as it traces the joys and pangs of a little girl in a village who has cerebral palsy, and how the big city was the backdrop in her beautiful journey towards self-discovery. It traces the intimate account of ordinary life fraught with physical and socio-psychological barriers: What it’s like to be the odd one out, the tryst with assistive aids, gender-specific barriers, chaotic trials while commuting through various means of transport, insights on workplace diversity, her tumultuous emotional journey, and the pursuit of well-being, spirituality and giving back. The author sees joy and purpose in what could have easily been labelled as maudlin, as she vividly describes the persistent mind-body conflict, the inner and outer battles, the quest to understand her identity, rising above personal and societal prejudices, and succeeding in carving an identity devoid of bitterness. In its true essence, A Bumblebee’s Balcony is a simple, straight-from-the-heart tribute to love, strength, hope and an unshakable faith in the Universe…

Mockingbird Passing
Author: Holly Blackford
Publisher: Univ. of Tennessee Press
ISBN: 1572337494
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
Blackford finds the basis of Mockingbird's broad appeal in its ability to embody the mainstream culture of romantics like Emerson and social reform writers like Stowe, even as alternative canons---southern gothic, deadpan humor, queer literatures, regional women's novels---lurk in its subtexts. Central to her argument is the notion of "passing": establishing an identity that conceals the inner self so that one can function within a closed social order. For example, the novel's narrator, Scout, must suppress her natural tomboyishness to become a "lady." Meanwhile, Scout's father, Atticus Finch, must contend with competing demands of thoughtfulness, self-reliance, and masculinity that ultimately stunt his effectiveness within an unjust society. Blackford charts the identity dilemmas of other key characters---the mysterious Boo Radley, the young outsider Dill (modeled on Lee's lifelong friend Truman Capote), the oppressed victim Tom Robinson---in similarly intriguing ways.

Curious Minds
Author: Perry Zurn
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262547147
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
An exhilarating, genre-bending exploration of curiosity’s powerful capacity to connect ideas and people. Curious about something? Google it. Look at it. Ask a question. But is curiosity simply information seeking? According to this exhilarating, genre-bending book, what’s left out of the conventional understanding of curiosity are the wandering tracks, the weaving concepts, the knitting of ideas, and the thatching of knowledge systems—the networks, the relations between ideas and between people. Curiosity, say Perry Zurn and Dani Bassett, is a practice of connection: it connects ideas into networks of knowledge, and it connects knowers themselves, both to the knowledge they seek and to each other. Zurn and Bassett—identical twins who write that their book “represents the thought of one mind and two bodies”—harness their respective expertise in the humanities and the sciences to get irrepressibly curious about curiosity. Traipsing across literatures of antiquity and medieval science, Victorian poetry and nature essays, as well as work by writers from a variety of marginalized communities, they trace a multitudinous curiosity. They identify three styles of curiosity—the busybody, who collects stories, creating loose knowledge networks; the hunter, who hunts down secrets or discoveries, creating tight networks; and the dancer, who takes leaps of creative imagination, creating loopy ones. Investigating what happens in a curious brain, they offer an accessible account of the network neuroscience of curiosity. And they sketch out a new kind of curiosity-centric and inclusive education that embraces everyone’s curiosity. The book performs the very curiosity that it describes, inviting readers to participate—to be curious with the book and not simply about it.
