Healing Psalms: The Dialogues with God That Help You Cope with Life - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: A prominent rabbi shows how to apply the wisdom of the Psalms in our daily livesTraditionally attributed to King David, among others, the book of Psalms collects 150 songs in praise of the Lord-songs that contain some of the Bible's most beautiful and inspiring verses. Now, one of America's most esteemed rabbis elucidates the meaning of the Psalms and explains how their healing wisdom can help us in our everyday lives. Examining each of the Psalms in turn, Rabbi Joshua Haberman shows how these "dialogues with God" offer comfort in our struggles to cope with adversity and improve our lot in life, whether we're seeking deliverance from suffering, giving praise for our good fortune, or commemorating a special occasion. Though this is the only mainstream book on the Psalms written by a rabbi, the book is for people of all spiritual traditions-Jews, Christians, and people of any tradition who want to tap into the healing power of the Psalms.Joshua O. Haberman (Washington, DC) is President of the Foundation for Jewish Studies. The former Senior Rabbi at the Washington Hebrew Congregation, he has preached at the White House and at the nationally televised memorial service to honor victims of 9/11.
When I Stop Talking, You'll Know I'm Dead: Useful Stories from a Persuasive Man - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Here is the story of Jerry Weintraub: the self-made, Brooklyn-born, Bronx-raised impresario, Hollywood producer, legendary deal maker, and friend of politicians and stars. No matter where nature has placed him--the club rooms of Brooklyn, the Mafia dives of New York's Lower East Side, the wilds of Alaska, or the hills of Hollywood--he has found a way to put on a show and sell tickets at the door. "All life was a theater and I wanted to put it up on a stage," he writes. "I wanted to set the world under a marquee that read: 'Jerry Weintraub Presents.'"In WHEN I STOP TALKING, YOU'LL KNOW I'M DEAD, we follow Weintraub from his first great success at age twenty-six with Elvis Presley, whom he took on the road with the help of Colonel Tom Parker; to the immortal days with Sinatra and Rat Pack glory; to his crowning hits as a movie producer, starting with Robert Altman and Nashville, continuing with Oh, God!, The Karate Kid movies, and Diner, among others, and summiting with Steven Soderbergh and Ocean's Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen.Along the way, we'll watch as Jerry moves from the poker tables of Palm Springs (the games went on for days), to the power rooms of Hollywood, to the halls of the White House, to Red Square in Moscow and the Great Palace in Beijing-all the while counseling potentates, poets, and kings, with clients and confidants like George Clooney, Bruce Willis, George H. W. Bush, Armand Hammer, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, John Denver, Bobby Fischer . . .well, the list goes on forever.And of course, the story is not yet over . . .as the old-timers say, "The best is yet to come."As Weintraub says, "When I stop talking, you'll know I'm dead."With wit, wisdom, and the cool confidence that has colored his remarkable career, Jerry chronicles a quintessentially American journey, one marked by luck, love, and improvisation. The stories he tells and the lessons we learn are essential, not just for those who love movies and music, but for businessmen, entrepreneurs, artists . . . everyone.

نویسندگان: خلاصه: A ND it was a golden age.The 1930s and 1940s were a vibrant, seminal time fora gigantic audience of eager readers, probably the largest percapita audience of readers in American history. The magazineracks were chock-full of publications with ragged trims, garishcover art, cheap brown pulp paper, low cover prices—and themost excitement you could hold in your hands.“Pulp” magazines, named for their rough-cut, pulpwoodpaper, were a vehicle for more amazing tales than Scheherazadecould have told in a million and one nights. Set apart fromhigher-class “slick” magazines, printed on fancy glossy paperwith quality artwork and superior production values, thepulps were for the “rest of us,” adventure story after adventurestory for people who liked to read. Pulp fiction authors wereno-holds-barred entertainers — real storytellers. They weremore interested in a thrilling plot twist, a horrific villain ora white-knuckle adventure than they were in lavish prose orconvoluted metaphors.

You Must Be from the North: Southern White Women in the Memphis Civil Rights Movement - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Echol Cole and Robert Walker died in a freak accident on 30 January1968 while working for the City of Memphis Sanitation Department.Trapped inside one of the city’s numerous archaic and dilapidated gar-bage packers, these men died a grisly death from injuries sustainedwhile operating the machinery. Their fellow workers staged a walkoutin protest of abysmal working conditions thirteen days later. Strikingsanitation workers believed that a walkout would prove to be their onlybargaining tool in an ongoing struggle between the public works em-ployees and their employer, the city of Memphis, over issues surround-ing better wages and the improvement of working conditions.Mayor Henry Loeb refused to negotiate with the striking workers,due to his belief that the strike was an illegal one. A local court decisionbuttressed Loeb’s belief in the illegality of the strike. According to a billpresented to the Chancery Court of Memphis, the strikers violated aninjunction of 26 August 1966 that prohibited “employees of the PublicWorks Department of the City of Memphis . . . [from] striking against theCity of Memphis.” The ruling also applied to those “influencing, advis-ing, coercing or directing employees of the Public Works Department . . .not to report to work in the usual and customary place and time.” Loeb’slack of sympathy for the striking workers derived not only from hisnotions of the illegality of the strike, but also from his personal racialattitudes toward the overwhelmingly African American sanitation work-ers.1
