Money Dreams: Andrew Buys a Jet
Author: Charles Aybar
Publisher: Charles Aybar, Ph.D.
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
Andrew Lee wasn’t your typical teenager. By the age of 17, while most of his peers were worrying about homework or curfews, Andrew was already knee-deep in the world of cryptocurrency. What started as a hobby fueled by curiosity about finance and technology quickly spiraled into something much more lucrative. Guided by the sharp instincts of a budding entrepreneur and a bit of luck, Andrew’s crypto investments skyrocketed, leaving him with more wealth than he could have ever imagined at his age. His father, Mr. Lee, always believed in teaching Andrew the value of hard work and smart decision-making. While many parents might worry about their child handling significant sums of money, Mr. Lee trusted Andrew’s maturity and sense of responsibility. When Andrew first broached the idea of buying a private jet, Mr. Lee didn’t laugh it off as a teenage fantasy. Instead, he gave Andrew his blessing, knowing this wasn’t about frivolity—this was about ambition, adventure, and Andrew’s dreams taking flight. With a small crew of close friends by his side, Andrew’s adventure began. Traveling from one iconic U.S. city to the next, his jet served as a symbol of his success and freedom. But beyond the luxury and glamour, Andrew’s journey was about so much more. It was about exploration, friendship, and discovering what it meant to turn a dream into reality. With every city visited, every high-end restaurant enjoyed, and every limousine ride taken, Andrew wasn’t just indulging in the fruits of his labor—he was learning what it meant to be independent and in control of his destiny. This is the story of how one teenager transformed his financial success into the adventure of a lifetime. From New York to San Diego, with stops in Chicago and Houston, Andrew and his friends experienced the world in a way few teenagers could ever dream of. It was a journey filled with five-star meals, luxury hotels, and city skylines seen from the comfort of a private jet. But most of all, it was a journey of self-discovery.

Black Power Music!
Author: Reiland Rabaka
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000594319
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Black Power Music! Protest Songs, Message Music, and the Black Power Movement critically explores the soundtracks of the Black Power Movement as forms of "movement music." That is to say, much of classic Motown, soul, and funk music often mirrored and served as mouthpieces for the views and values, as well as the aspirations and frustrations, of the Black Power Movement. Black Power Music! is also about the intense interconnections between Black popular culture and Black political culture, both before and after the Black Power Movement, and the ways in which the Black Power Movement in many senses symbolizes the culmination of centuries of African American politics creatively combined with, and ingeniously conveyed through, African American music. Consequently, the term "Black Power music" can be seen as a code word for African American protest songs and message music between 1965 and 1975. "Black Power music" is a new concept that captures and conveys the fact that the majority of the messages in Black popular music between 1965 and 1975 seem to have been missed by most people who were not actively involved in, or in some significant way associated with, the Black Power Movement.

Book Description
"Free will, Mike. That's one thing I can never change. The one gift I gave mankind that separates them from all other creatures. I could never make you love or believe in me. You did that on your own. If you hadn't, I wouldn't be sitting here today. Mike, I made you. I knew how you would be. The only thing I wasn't sure of was whether or not we would spend eternity together." In two weeks, Mike will turn seventy-five. He's been married to his true love, Emma, for almost fifty of those years. He's not perfect. He's made plenty of mistakes. The one thing about Mike that is beyond reproach is his devotion. He's always been a true Southern Baptist and believer in a loving God. For his big birthday, God has something special planned for Mike and Emma. It's time they went on a road trip of sorts as God Himself throws the party. Through a series of flashbacks, Mike witnesses his life all over again.

Madness, Rack, and Honey
Author: Mary Ruefle
Publisher: Wave Books
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
This is one of the wisest books I've read in years... —New York Times Book Review No writer I know of comes close to even trying to articulate the weird magic of poetry as Ruefle does. She acknowledges and celebrates in the odd mystery and mysticism of the act—the fact that poetry must both guard and reveal, hint at and pull back... Also, and maybe most crucially, Ruefle’s work is never once stuffy or overdone: she writes this stuff with a level of seriousness-as-play that’s vital and welcome, that doesn’t make writing poetry sound anything but wild, strange, life-enlargening fun. -The Kenyon Review Profound, unpredictable, charming, and outright funny...These informal talks have far more staying power and verve than most of their kind. Readers may come away dazzled, as well as amused... —Publishers Weekly This is a book not just for poets but for anyone interested in the human heart, the inner-life, the breath exhaling a completion of an idea that will make you feel changed in some way. This is a desert island book. —Matthew Dickman The accomplished poet is humorous and self-deprecating in this collection of illuminating essays on poetry, aesthetics and literature... —San Francisco Examiner Over the course of fifteen years, Mary Ruefle delivered a lecture every six months to a group of poetry graduate students. Collected here for the first time, these lectures include "Poetry and the Moon," "Someone Reading a Book Is a Sign of Order in the World," and "Lectures I Will Never Give." Intellectually virtuosic, instructive, and experiential, Madness, Rack, and Honey resists definition, demanding instead an utter—and utterly pleasurable—immersion. Finalist for the 2012 National Book Critics Circle Award. Mary Ruefle has published more than a dozen books of poetry, prose, and erasures. She lives in Vermont.
