Hitchhiking in America: Using the Golden Thumb
Author: Dale Carpenter
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0963191012
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
"Though it tends to be looked down upon as a trivial activity confined to vagrants, the feeble-minded, sex maniacs and serial killers, hitchhiking needs to be re-valued as a means to an end (transportation and self-education) and as an end in itself (as suggested by Jack London's wonderful paragraphs quoted at the top of p. 35).""This is a source book, not just a casual handbook, and by its appeal to a long tradition it gives hitchhiking well-deserved stature. People have been hitchhiking since the first vehicle - probably a raft - was invented.Odysseus hitchhiked, St. Paul hitchhiked; anyone who hitchhikes today is keeping alive an ancient and honorable tradition and your book will help readers put modern hitchhiking into its particularly American context."Prof. Daniel H. GarrisonDepartment of Classics, Northwestern University -Presenter of a lecture that students refer to as "Hitchhiking as an Art Form."

Why Guattari? A Liberation of Cartographies, Ecologies and Politics
Author: Thomas Jellis
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317293169
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
This book examines Félix Guattari, the French psychoanalyst, philosopher, and radical activist, renowned for an energetic style of thought that cuts across conceptual, political, and institutional spheres. Increasingly recognised as a key figure in his own right, Guattari’s influence in contemporary social theory and the modern social sciences continues to grow. From the ecosophy of hurricanes to the micropolitics of cinema, the book draws together a series of Guattarian motifs which animate the complexity of one of the twentieth century’s greatest and most enigmatic thinkers. The book examines techniques and modes of thought that contribute to a liberation of thinking and subjectivity. Divided thematically into three parts – ‘cartographies’, ‘ecologies’, and ‘micropolitics’ – each chapter showcases the singular and pragmatic grounds by which Guattari’s signature concepts can be found to be both disruptive to traditional modes of thinking, and generative toward novel forms of ethics, politics and sociality. This interdisciplinary compendium on Guattari’s exciting, experimental, and enigmatic thought will appeal to academics and postgraduates within Social Theory, Human Geography, and Continental Philosophy. Chapter 1 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Balancing her thriving yoga spa and raising twins, Widow Heatherlee Baronova is slammed by her late husband's past when an ex-con demands a key to a safe deposit box. Naïve, Heatherlee knows nothing about it. When her spa Clearwater is robbed, the police investigation is headed by Sheriff Marc Duarte, a sheep rancher from the silkiest gentry of town. The last thing she wants is for Marc to prove that dirty money built Clearwater. Marc knows her problems with a Russian theft ring will escalate beyond bad press and the bottom line. After the twins are kidnapped, she starts listening.

The Waiting Room
Author: Barbara Williams Keleman
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
In the year 2020, the worldwide COVID-19 virus closed down the entire world when we were quarantined and advised to stay in our homes. Everything came to a standstill. It was then that the process of writing this book began. It is said that everyone's life is a book. After years of recording events in journals and keeping photo albums and homemade movies with the hand-me-downs from three generations, I decided to share my life in book form. Then at the advanced age of ninety years, I was amazed that my memory was still able to recall these memories. However, they are the clutter of my collections. I thank God for the early morning hours of quiet time spent in God's "Word" with my Bible and devotionals and for my mind and physical ability to pursue this venture. The "good news" is always worth sharing. We have the privilege of using our limited time on earth to spread His life-changing truth of love with others. Even during the turbulent and loneliest occasions we encounter, He is always there to provide what we need (Corinthians 2:12-17). This has been a joy, an experience, and has been my pleasure sharing my writings in my book The Waiting Room with you. My prayer is that you will be blessed as a reader of my life. What's amazing is that God uses our prayers to accomplish His plans. May God's blessings be with you (Romans 8:28). Amen!

Steven Truscott and the Murder of 12-Year Old Lynne Harper
Author: Sam Dennis McDonough
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1257094556
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
Reason for Reading: This book presents all the facts from both sides about Canada's most infamous crime. Reach your own conclusion by being objective and thinking critically. Synopsis: On a cold September day in 1959 a 14 year old Canadian schoolboy, in just his first encounter with the police and in a crime of passion, was sentenced by a jury to hang for the murder of his 12-year-old friend. Why I wrote this book: My greatest passion is to search for the truth in real crimes. Why you should read this book: This is probably the only book you will find in all of America's media about Steven Truscott and the Murder of 12-year-old Lynne Harper that is completely objective. Why you may avoid this book: There is an unconscious desire on the part of many to find greater meaning in the life and trials of Steven Truscott than is possible based upon the historical case. And so for them, there will always be an innocent Truscott. It simply has to be, no matter what.
