The Thoreau You Don't Know: What the Prophet of Environmentalism Really Meant - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Henry David Thoreau is one of those authors that readers think they know, even if they don't. He's the solitary curmudgeon with the shack out in the woods, the mystic worshipping solemnly in the quiet church of nature. He's our national Natural Man, the prophet of environmentalism. But here Robert Sullivan—who himself has been called an "urban Thoreau" (New York Times Book Review)—presents the Thoreau you don't know: the activist, the organizer, the gregarious adventurer, the guy who likes to go camping with friends (even if they sometimes accidentally burn the woods down). Sullivan argues that Walden was a book intended to revive America, a communal work forever pigeonholed as a reclusive one, and this misreading is at the heart of our troubled relationship with the environment today. Sullivan shows us not a lonely eccentric but a man in his growing village: a man who danced and sang, who worked throughout his short life at the family pencil-making business, and moved into his parents' house after leaving Walden, but always paid his father rent. Passionate yet whimsical, The Thoreau You Don't Know asks us to re-examine our everyday relationship with the natural world, and one another.
Something to Tell You - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Even now, at the end of the twentieth century, many still have difficulty standing up and saying, "I am the parent of a gay child." Something to Tell You recounts the stories of families whose lives have been touched by the discovery that a child is lesbian or gay -- how it affects and influences people's perceptions of their children and even changes the self-image of parents themselves.Focusing on fifty average families -- not people seen in clinics or therapy -- the authors found a consistent pattern of change: first negative, then positive. Sometimes the news led parents and siblings to form stronger bonds with the child, with each other, and with other relatives and friends. In many cases, their child's partner and partner's family grew to assume an important role in their own lives. In some cases, parents and siblings discovered new meaning in their lives through speaking out or joining PFLAG (Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) and becoming part of the struggle for lesbian and gay rights. The authors found that families committed to staying together are typically able to overcome the powerful obstacles imposed by society. Something to Tell You also shows the lasting and sometimes tragic consequences for families who falter in the process of integration. Unwilling to accept their child's sexuality, some parents sought to blame each other, and all too often their own relationships unraveled as a result. Others who failed to tell close friends sometimes lost those friends through keeping secrets. Parents who neglected to form bonds with their child's partner fostered climates of alienation that persisted for years.A richly diverse collection of family stories, Something to Tell You is a book that will help break down widespread prejudice and put an end to destructive cultural myths. It affirms families' highest aspirations toward active love for their gay children, showing the steps to take toward new levels of support, solidarity, and love.
It's True! You Can Make Your Own Jokes (It's True!) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: My nine-year-old son loves making up jokes. He used to tell really BAD jokes that weren’t funny because they didn’t have a punchline. Knock knock. Who’s there? Dinosaur. Dinosaur who? Just dinosaur. See what I mean? One day when I couldn’t stand it any more I sat down to explain to him how jokes work. I’ve always loved listening to jokes, but I’d never been very good at telling them. We came up with some simple instructions for different types of jokes, and within days we were writing dozens of original gags. Like this one . . . Knock knock. Who’s there? Dinosaur. Dinosaur who? Dino-saur you were home so we thought we’d drop in. That got me thinking about humour in general. I did some research into clowns, riddles and April Fools’ Day. I wondered if laughter really was the best medicine. And of course I wrote more jokes. Me, a joke writer? You’ve got to be joking! But if I can do it, so can you. Have fun

Windows XP Home Edition! I Didn't Know You Could Do That... - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: I got really excited when I first heard about the concept of this book; a book that covers all the cool things about Windows XP that the reader didn’t know were already there. It meant I didn’t have to write about the Start button and how to click on it, but instead I got to dive right into the fun and hidden aspects of Windows XP. Then came my dilemma: What do you not already know and what are you going to think is cool? Well, I have no idea what you know and what you don’t. So, I had to think of my friend Molly, who is a typical computer user in my mind. And I’m also thinking of me. I choose to write about things that Molly and I would think were cool. Then I passed the outline to Chris Denny, my editor, and if he didn’t ever say, “Well, that’s stupid,” then it got into the book. (By the way, he did say, “Well, that’s stupid,” a few times.) Finally, Dan, my husband, got involved. And hence began, “God, Sandy. That’s dumb, how about if you write about this instead?” And so this book was born. I did try to be practical. My criteria for the book fell under two categories: fun and productive. Through lots of reader mail, I’ve found that people really just want to get their work done, but they’re also using the computer more and more for the fun things like music and pictures. Basically, no one wants to be a computer guru who can take a computer apart and put it back together again, blindfolded. I can’t do that. Neither can Molly or Chris, so I have to assume you can’t either and that, moreover, you don’t want to. So, I suppose that’s a long-winded explanation of how I choose the sub- jects that would be in this book. Molly, Chris, Dan, and I liked the topics, and we all think you may like them tooآیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
