The Means of Escape
Author: Penelope Fitzgerald
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
ISBN: 0544228111
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 125
Book Description
The Booker Prize-winning author’s final short story collection “shows her at the top of her form…exquisite”—with an introduction by A.S. Byatt (The Guardian, UK). Penelope Fitzgerald was one of the United Kingdom’s most highly-regarded contemporary authors. Her last novel, ‘The Blue Flower’, was the book of its year, garnering extraordinary acclaim around the world. This posthumous collection of her short stories, originally published in anthologies and newspapers, shows Penelope Fitzgerald at her very best. From the tale of a young boy in 17th-century England who loses a precious keepsake and finds it frozen in a puddle of ice, to that of a group of buffoonish amateur Victorian painters on a trip to Brittany, these stories are characteristically wide ranging, enigmatic—and very funny. Each one is a miniature study of human behavior’s endless absurdity.

Means of Escape from Fire
Author: M. J. Billington
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1405172789
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
The provision of an adequate means of escape from fire is fundamental to the design of new buildings and to the alteration, change of use or extension of existing buildings. It is essential that means of escape are considered at the earliest stage of a project as mistakes are very expensive to correct later in the design. There is a great deal of legislation on means of escape design and control, but this is scattered throughout a large number of statutes, regulations and guidance documents. Many buildings need to be licensed and/or registered, as well as requiring certification and Building Regulation compliance. This book provides an invaluable reference on the subject for architects, surveyors and building control officers. It: ? identifies the legislation which applies to any particular building use ? describes the general principles of designing means of escape, together with a ten step approach for a range of residential and non-residential buildings ? considers alternative design options based on fire safety engineering ? outlines fire safety management in premises in use as an aid to employers, who have a statutory duty to undertake fire risk assessments.

The Way of Escape
Author: Mary Alice Brown
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 1612157890
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
The Urantia movement-a little-known but fast-growing cult-is an ideology that had claimed this author's soul for twelve years until she miraculously got set free from it by the power of God. "The Urantia Book," the cornerstone of this movement, has a subtle, Hitler-like spirit woven throughout its fabric, and claims to be the model for the so-called "New Age." The second major episode in the author's life is equally miraculous in that she was able to get off an extremely high amount of anti-depressant drugs she had become dependent on because of the deep depression this book caused her to sink into. The author tells the reader in Way of Escape how she fell into this trap of the Urantia book, how she got out, and how she got free from the doctor-prescribed medicine that would have eventually claimed her life. "This is a book that is hard to put down. You just want to keep reading to see what happens next. Simply written in everyday dialog, it's like the author is sitting in your living room sharing the journey of her life. Hers is a story of hope. It's amusing and refreshing, it's sad, it's serious-it's real life. Maintaining a sense of humor and a quest for God through so much drama, turmoil, and personal challenge is a miracle in and of itself. It is a story of ongoing deliverance." L.V., Texas. "This book is quite an adventure into the discerning of God's will. Read it with an open heart, and the truth will set you free." N.B., New Hampshire. "This story reveals the depth of God's love for His children and shows His mighty hand of deliverance in setting the captives free." T.M.P., Texas.

Coral Glynn
Author: Peter Cameron
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 1429950277
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Coral Glynn arrives at Hart House, an isolated manse in the English countryside, early in the very wet spring of 1950, to nurse the elderly Mrs. Hart, who is dying of cancer. Hart House is also inhabited by Mrs. Prence, the perpetually disgruntled housekeeper, and Major Clement Hart, Mrs. Hart's war-ravaged son, who is struggling to come to terms with his latent homosexuality. When a child's game goes violently awry in the woods surrounding Hart House, a great shadow—love, perhaps—descends upon its inhabitants. Like the misguided child's play, other seemingly random events—a torn dress, a missing ring, a lost letter—propel Coral and Clement into the dark thicket of marriage. A period novel observed through a refreshingly gimlet eye, Coral Glynn explores how quickly need and desire can blossom into love, and just as quickly transform into something less categorical. Borrowing from themes and characters prevalent in the work of mid-twentieth-century British women writers, Peter Cameron examines how we live and how we love—with his customary empathy and wit.
