Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office. In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency - a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW.A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making - from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy Fungi not only help create soil, they send out networks of tubes that enmesh roots and link plants together in the "Wood Wide Web." Fungi also drive many long-standing human fascinations: from yeasts that cause bread to rise and orchestrate the fermentation of sugar into alcohol to psychedelic fungi and the mold that produces penicillin and revolutionized modern medicine. Living at the border between life and non-life, fungi use diverse cocktails of potent enzymes and acids to disassemble some of the most stubborn substances on the planet, turning rock into soil and wood into compost which allows plants to grow. His revelatory introduction to this world will show us how fungi, and our relationships with them, are vastly more astonishing than we could have imagined. Merlin Sheldrake is a scientist who specializes in the behavior of this massively diverse kingdom of life.

The answer hit her before I could reply, her face blanching, her mouth twisting into a grimace. What if someone had run into you? asked a friend when I later told her of my BART adventure. When the train lurched into motion, I planted my feet and braced myself, collapsing against other bodies when I lost my balance, all the time hunching protectively over my chest, where everything was still as raw and pink as sashimi. But I don’t look like someone you would give your seat to. When I’m not recovering from surgery, I do the same, standing up so certain passengers-Chinese grandmas with translucent visors, people with protective palms on distended bellies, mothers of children old enough to walk, but only just-can sit down. Maybe someone would see the aura of the Recently Operated Upon surrounding me and offer up their seat. Even when the train shrieked to a stop and gulped open, bodies packed inside, and I realized that I couldn’t lift my arms to hold onto the loops overhead, let alone support my weight by leaning against the side of the car, I didn’t panic. The walk to the station was okay, and the sun felt nice. And really, was I supposed to stay horizontal forever? She was right, but I needed my check, and I didn’t want to ask any friends to take the day off to drive me. This essay mentions suicidal thoughts and a method of suicide.Ī week or so after my top surgery, I went to the disability insurance office in San Francisco, an hour and a half away from my East Bay home by public transit.

Once again, that nagging feeling tugged at my heart: I’m just not good enough. On the outside I was a well-put-together church mom with trendy shoes and snappy jeans, but on the inside I was a little girl cowering in the far recesses of the playground hoping no one would notice my reluctance to join in. What I really wanted to do was run and hide. The upturned lips were simply the camouflage I wore to blend in–to avoid being found out. But it wasn’t a reflection of what was in my heart. Women huddled in happy clusters chatting about first one thing and then another. I was alone, or at least I felt that way. Now, allow this except from Sharon’s book encourage you!

Will Howard survive the war or will be forced to accept the system?īook Review: The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand It is a journey of a single person against an entire tradition and system to break free. Through much of the book the author has expressed her strong personal views against collectivism through the protagonist. Dominique Francon, the heroine of the story is shown to emerge as a strong, independent woman as the story develops. Peter Keating, Howard’s arch rival has beliefs that are the opposite of Howard.’s There are also others that stand in Howard’s way. The Fountainhead is his journey against tradition and his fight against the system. Mediocrity in art may get rampant if interference by committees and councils is allowed. It is his firm belief than only an individual’s vision can be effective in producing genuine art. Howard Roark, the protagonist of the story is an architect and a firm opposer of collectivism. Emotionīook Summary: The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand Conformity, Religion and Morality, Rationality vs. Theme: Objectivism and Individualism, Integrity vs. Setting Place: The East Coast, primarily New York, in the 1920s and 1930s Major Characters: Howard Roark, Dominique Francon, Ellsworth M Toohey, Peter Keating, Steven Mallory, Gail Wynand, Gus Webb He plumbs the hearts and minds of passengers as they pray, bargain with God, plot their strategies for survival, and sacrifice themselves to save others. Drawing on interviews with hundreds of survivors, crew, and airport and rescue personnel, Laurence Gonzales, a commercial pilot himself, captures, minute by minute, the harrowing journey of pilots flying a plane with no controls and flight attendants keeping their calm in the face of certain death. No one has ever attempted the complete reconstruction of a crash of this magnitude. Miraculously, 184 of 296 passengers lived. And then people began emerging from the summer corn that lined the runways. The rescuers didn't move at first: nobody could possibly survive that crash. The plane slammed onto the runway and burst into a vast fireball. As hundreds of rescue workers waited on the ground, United Airlines Flight 232 wallowed drunkenly over the bluffs northwest of Sioux City. Twenty-five years after the catastrophe, a dramatic and extraordinarily rare 360-degree view of the crash of a fully loaded jumbo jet. The other person was fantastically beautiful, sparkly, and a vampire. One of these people was just your average girl. In my dream, two people were having an intense conversation in a meadow in the woods. I woke up (on that June 2nd) from a very vivid dream. Up to this point, I had not written anything besides a few chapters (of other stories) that I never got very far on, and nothing at all since the birth of my first son, six years earlier. So I can say with certainty that it all started on June 2, 2003. The Writing: I know the exact date that I began writing Twilight, because it was also the first day of swim lessons for my kids. Warning #2: As you might have guessed from the length of my book, I can’t tell a short story-this is going to take a while. (Warning: there are Twilight spoilers contained in the following if you don’t want to ruin the suspense, stop reading….now. I may be killing my FAQ page by doing this, but here is the whole story: I get a ton of questions about how I came up with the story of Twilight and how I got it published. |
