May You Live In Interesting Times
Author: Willem Dijkstra
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595315186
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
In 1966 Mao Zedong unleashed the Cultural Revolution, a brutal and bloody campaign aimed at obliterating the past and building a new China on the rubble of its ancient civilization. Now it is 1988, and while the tide of change has turned for the better, the legacy of Mao lingers on in the minds of former devotees and victims alike. Five years have passed since China's first tentative opening to the outside world, and the effects are undeniable. Initially overawed by foreign customs, China's youngsters have become increasingly restless, frustrated by the rigid system that has bound them for so long. Frightened by their children's foolhardy defiance of the Party, a group of friends gather to relive the past, hoping they can restore a sense of reality before it is too late. "May You Live In Interesting Times" is an intelligent and compassionate work spanning decades of turmoil. Willem Dijkstra has produced a novel of considerable depth, weaving individual suffering and anguish into a broader tapestry of mass political persecution and terror. Through characters such as Xu Suping and Dao Huimin, Willem Dijkstra not only brings the nightmare of Mao's China sharply into focus, but he also succeeds in capturing the essence of the Chinese: exasperating, stubborn, warm-hearted and eternally resilient.

Book Description
In a weak moment, I have written a book. -Margaret Mitchell This book is a multilayered creation that touches on a wide array of topics, many of them drawn from personal experiences. Indeed, you the lucky reader will be blessed with enough material for at least three books within one cover. Why would I want to write such a multi-themed book? It wasn't my original intention. Maybe I've learned an important lesson and won't do so next time. Like many older folks, I wanted to share what I have learned to be true and useful and couldn't seem to stay with a single topic. I've lived long enough to confirm an important realization: the gleanings from a well-lived life are at least as important as knowledge gained vicariously through reading and classroom attendance. But I think most people don't fully appreciate the value of their life lessons and end up taking most of them to the grave. I want to counter that pattern and use this book to share as many of my gleanings as I can. I also recognize several imminent dangers facing this nation and our planet and feel compelled to share these concerns. Just as important: I want my wife, children, and grandchildren to know more about who I was and who I've come to be. I hope they will have occasions to use some of my wisdom.

The Fantabulously Awesome Life of a Charity Donation Truck Driver
Author: Nion Dabtino
Publisher: Zelpha Comics and Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 69
Book Description
You have probably seen them working somewhere, but in a flash, they are gone and out of mind. You have probably donated clothes, books or toys at one of their charity bins. Good and clean previous possessions you want to give to a not-for-profit as a way to help others. They arrive to get those donations each day, in every weather condition possible. They come and go without a thank-you or a need for acknowledgement. They work hard and do their jobs to help the community! Who are ‘they’? They are donation truck drivers! Men and women who work for the various charities. Their job is to collect all donated items for delivery to partner thrift stores for sorting. Their job is found all over the world, but is barely thought of within the societies in which they operate. But the time has come to shine a light on the hard work they do because of the growing nightmare that is consuming their jobs. That nightmare being…garbage dumping! The Fantabulously Awesome Life of a Charity Donation Truck Driver is a new revealing look into this unique globally-found job and the truly odd, gross and disturbing things people choose to dump at charity donation bins. From mouldy clothes and evil dolls to dead animals and used needles, there seems to be no limit to what donation truck drivers must deal with daily. Author Nion Dabtino uses his collection of cell phone pictures, taken over the past two years, to provide readers a glimpse into what items SHOULD NOT be dumped via donation bins. The book also provides insights into how the donation business works, the proliferation of fake for-profit bin and it provides friendly advice on how best to donate. Equal parts funny, serious and crude (there is some justifiable anger-based swearing in there), The Fantabulously Awesome Life of a Charity Donation Truck Driver will open your eyes to a world you know exists, but never really thought about…until now!

One Day at a Time
Author: Danielle Steel
Publisher: Dell
ISBN: 0307566307
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Danielle Steel celebrates families of every stripe in her compelling novel—a tale of three very different couples who struggle and survive, love, laugh, and learn to take life . . . Coco Barrington was born into a legendary Hollywood family. Her mother, Florence, is a mega-bestselling author. Her sister, Jane, is one of Hollywood’s top producers and has lived with her partner, Liz, for ten years in a solid, loving relationship. Florence, widowed but still radiant, has just begun a secret romance with a man twenty-four years her junior. But Coco, a law-school dropout and the family black sheep, works as a dog walker, having fled life in the spotlight for an artsy Northern California beach town. When Coco reluctantly agrees to house-sit for Jane, she discovers an unexpected houseguest: Leslie Baxter, a dashing but down-to-earth British actor who’s fleeing a psycho ex-girlfriend. Their worlds couldn’t be more different. The attraction couldn’t be more immediate. And as Coco contemplates a future with one of Hollywood’s hottest stars, as her mother and sister settle into their lives, old wounds are healed and new families are formed—some traditional, some not so traditional, but all bonded by love. With wit and intelligence, Danielle Steel’s novel explores love in all its guises, taking us into the lives of three unusual but wonderfully real couples. Funny, sexy, and wise, One Day at a Time is at once moving, thought-provoking, and utterly impossible to put down.
