The Wrong Stars
Author: Tim Pratt
Publisher: Watkins Media Limited
ISBN: 0857667106
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
Philip K. Dick Award Finalist A “ridiculously fun” series debut “with a well-thought-out space opera setting and lots of fancy reveals”—from a Hugo Award winner (Charlie Jane Anders, author of All the Birds in the Sky). A ragtag space crew discovers alien technology that could change the fate of humanity—or awaken an ancient evil that could destroy all life in the galaxy. The shady crew of the White Raven run freight and salvage at the fringes of our solar system. They discover the wreck of a centuries-old exploration vessel floating light years away from its intended destination and revive its sole occupant, who wakes with news of First Alien Contact. When the crew informs her that humanity has alien allies already, she reveals that these are very different extra-terrestrials—and the gifts they bestowed on her could kill all humanity, or take it out to the most distant stars.

Plays of Our Own
Author: Willy Conley
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000800679
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 470
Book Description
Plays of Our Own is the first anthology of its kind containing an eclectic range of plays by Deaf and hard-of-hearing writers. These writers have made major, positive contributions to world drama or Deaf theatre arts. Their topics range from those completely unrelated to deafness to those with strong Deaf-related themes such as a dreamy, headstrong girl surviving a male-dominated world in Depression-era Ireland; a famous Spanish artist losing his hearing while creating his most controversial art; a Deaf African-American woman dealing with AIDS in her family; and a Deaf peddler ridiculed and rejected by his own kind for selling ABC fingerspelling cards. The plays are varied in style – a Kabuki western, an ensemble-created variety show, a visual-gestural play with no spoken nor signed language, a cartoon tragicomedy, historical and domestic dramas, and a situation comedy. This volume contains the well-known Deaf theatre classics, My Third Eye and A Play of Our Own. At long last, directors, producers, Deaf and hearing students, professors, and researchers will be able to pick up a book of "Deaf plays" for production consideration, Deaf culture or multicultural analysis, or the simple pleasure of reading.

My first therapist told me I needed a witness, and here this date, 25 September 2022, the Lord spoke unto me that He was, in fact, the first witness to my story, and as He then witnessed my story back unto me.

The Balanced Child

ISBN: 147583988X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
As technology develops at an ever frenetic pace, the ability to socialize in a practical, real-world fashion is in danger of becoming as extinct as the typewriter or paper map. Yet, unlike the aforementioned items, practical social skills are a vital element for our children’s overall success and happiness. Therefore, they must be enriched by all those that shape the future of our next generation of adults. Concurrently, as our children are subjected to an endless deluge of information from the many streams of technology, a societal push to have them grow up to prematurely. Of further significance, is an ever flattening global influence that showers many mixed messages raining down upon our youth. As these images flash before their eyes, questions of character and developing this subset of such respective skills become ever more important. This book will seek to tackle how to educate our children on the cornerstones of a humanistic foundation as a person; harboring those traits of responsibility, caring, honesty, and service to others. It will seek to help parents, educators, and most of all, children to recognize that in order to gain the necessary tools to be a fulfilled and contributing member of this world one must embrace these abilities (and not just as an afterthought and supplement to a successful life).

Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
Liberals don't flush! They're reared to make a mess of situations and leave the cleanup to Conservatives. Young adults are faced with many confusing decisions in life aside from whether or not their pants are in style. Liberals Don't Flush addresses some of these by wrestling with the following life questions and more: *How do Conservatives and liberals behave in everyday situations? *Do Republicans or Democrats really represent our best interests? *Do I want big government changing my diapers for the rest of my life? *How many 4XL super-jumbo diapers does Ted Kennedy go through in a week and who changes them? *Why does the left not want me to know the truth about the war against terroristic Islam? *Why hasn't Alec Baldwin moved to France? *Why shouldn't a man like Herman Cain be our next President? *What should we do about illegal immigration? *Who's working hard to keep racism alive? *Is my school trying to educate me or brainwash me? *Why do a significant number of vehicles speeding from crime scenes display faded Kerry-Edwards bumper stickers? Barry Mason invites you to wade knee-deep into a layman's politically incorrect and brutally honest analysis of liberalism. Wear your hip boots.
