Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
Once a man came strolling by, But he stopped, and asked why, The trees and birds had all turned blue Just like his small hat and shoe, He looked up to the sky and said, Why is the sky green instead? Get drawn into the imaginative world of an 11-year old. Little Glow is an inspiring collection of eclectic poems written by Urvashi Balasubramaniam, who gives the readers a peep into her world. Sometimes funny and sometimes sensitive and serious, she writes on a variety of subjects. Written over several years, the poems range from the funny to the poignant. From candies and chocolates, in her early years, she has moved on to write poems on the state of the environment and gender issues. Whether it is an 8-line poem on popcorn or two-page on princesses, you will be enthralled by her sensitivity and delight at her control on language. Margie Sastry, ex-editor and writer at Amar Chitra Katha writes, “It is apparent as you go through the collection that they have been written over the years, tracing the innocent joys of childhood through simple ditties to poetry that communicates her concern for the world she is growing up in. Put up your feet and enjoy reading about the world of an 11-year old girl.

Book Description
"In Glow Kids, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras will examine how technology-- more specifically, age-inappropriate screen tech, with all of its glowing ubiquity-- has profoundly affected the brains of an entire generation. Brain imaging research is showing that stimulating glowing screens are as dopaminergic (dopamine activating) to the brain's pleasure center as sex. And a growing mountain of clinical research correlates screen tech with disorders like ADHD, addiction, anxiety, depression, increased aggression, and even psychosis. Most shocking of all, recent brain imaging studies conclusively show that excessive screen exposure can neurologically damage a young person's developing brain in the same way that cocaine addiction can"--

Glow
Author: Rick James
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476764166
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Best known for his 1980s hit songs “Super Freak,” “Give it to Me Baby,” and “Mary Jane,” the late singer and funk music pioneer Rick James collaborated with acclaimed music biographer David Ritz in this posthumously published, no-holds-barred memoir of a rock star’s life and soul. He was the nephew of Temptations singer Melvin Franklin; a boy who watched and listened, mesmerized from underneath cocktail tables at the shows of Etta James and Miles Davis. He was a vagrant hippie who wandered to Toronto, where he ended up playing with Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, and he became a household name in the 1980s with his hit song “Super Freak.” Later in life, he was a bad boy who got caught up in drug smuggling and ended up in prison. But since his passing in August 2004, Rick James has remained a legendary icon whose name is nearly synonymous with funk music—and who popularized the genre, creating a lasting influence on pop artists from Prince to Jay-Z to Snoop Dogg, among countless others. In Glow, Rick James and acclaimed music biographer David Ritz collaborated to write a no-holds-barred memoir about the boy and the man who became a music superstar in America’s disco age. It tells of James’s upbringing and how his mother introduced him to musical geniuses of the time. And it reveals details on many universally revered artists, from Marvin Gaye and Prince to Nash, Teena Marie, and Berry Gordy. James himself said, “My journey has taken me through hell and back. It’s all in my music—the parties, the pain, the oversized ego, the insane obsessions.” But despite his bad boy behavior, James was a tremendous talent and a unique, unforgettable human being. His “glow” was an overriding quality that one of his mentors saw in him—and one that will stay with this legendary figure who left an indelible mark on American popular music.
