Break Your Cane by Bob West Pdf

How do you cope with adversity? Is there a better way than resignedly accepting it? Is there a way to cure the seemingly incurable? Is there a way to transform the truly incurable into an advantage? Yes, there is a way! There is a way for you to overcome the adversity in your life—then break your cane! In Break Your Cane: Transforming Life’s Worst Challenges to Overcome Adversity, author Bob West details how difficult circumstances early in life were his best education. To survive early adversity, and even thrive because of it, he developed a philosophy of choosing a harder path for personal excellence and greater service. This harder path included using the taunts and ridicule from others to his advantage, turning disadvantages into advantages, and persisting when all seemed hopeless. Early difficulties prepared him for one of the biggest battles of his life—a 30-year struggle with several different chronic illnesses. Instead of giving up, West chose instead a harder path of researching medications, numerous types of diets, and many other remedies, until he found a cure for his incurable rheumatoid arthritis and other illnesses from which he suffered. He chose a harder path, found a cure, and now he shares his story with you. Inside, you’ll find not only his story, but examples from others who’ve chosen to take the harder path to becoming a better person and to serve others. Instead of simply giving up, they’ve persevered, becoming top athletes, affliction survivors, and leaders in history. They’ve been cured, made fascinating discoveries in science, and helped to create a better world around them. Let West and these examples of outstanding individuals inspire you to overcome your next challenge, whether it be medical, personal, educational, or goal-oriented. Choose the harder path to overcome adversity. Choose to overcome it for your own personal excellence and greater service.

Broken Waves by Brij V. Lal Pdf

“[A] magisterial history of twentieth-century Fiji.... The historical research is thorough and scrupulous, and the presentation is lucid. Lal brings together a wealth of information, much of it previously unavailable and the earlier available materials often reframed in thought-provoking ways.... Perhaps its greatest strength is that is presents the history of modern Fiji as very complicated and multifaceted.” —The Contemporary Pacific Pacific Islands Monograph Series No.11 Published in association with the Center for Pacific Islands Studies, University of Hawai‘i

Dictionary of Louisiana French by Albert Valdman,Kevin J. Rottet,Barry Jean Ancelet,Richard Guidry,Thomas A. Klingler,Amanda LaFleur,Tamara Lindner,Michael D. Picone,Dominique Ryon Pdf

The Dictionary of Louisiana French (DLF) provides the richest inventory of French vocabulary in Louisiana and reflects precisely the speech of the period from 1930 to the present. This dictionary describes the current usage of French-speaking peoples in the five broad regions of South Louisiana: the coastal marshes, the banks of the Mississippi River, the central area, the north, and the western prairie. Data were collected during interviews from at least five persons in each of twenty-four areas in these regions. In addition to the data collected from fieldwork, the dictionary contains material compiled from existing lexical inventories, from texts published after 1930, and from archival recordings. The new authoritative resource, the DLF not only contains the largest number of words and expressions but also provides the most complete information available for each entry. Entries include the word in the conventional French spelling, the pronunciation (including attested variants), the part of speech classification, the English equivalent, and the word's use in common phrases. The DLF features a wealth of illustrative examples derived from fieldwork and textual sources and identification of the parish where the entry was collected or the source from which it was compiled. An English-to-Louisiana French index enables readers to find out how particular notions would be expressed in la Louisiane.

The Translators by Robert Fedorchek Pdf

"Pilar Orsini Oquendo has just lost the love of her life. Her fiancé, Gonzalo, has been wrenched from her grasp by his untimely passing. Left alone to grieve, she finds herself at their favorite place, on a secluded beach in Spain. It is here where Gonzalo's childhood friend finds Pilar and, in a fit of lust, rapes her. Distraught and betrayed, Pilar soon finds the rape has produced a pregnancy. Despite the difficulty, Pilar decides to keep the baby. She struggles to wade through her emotional turmoil and continue her ambitious career as a translator of American literature. While speaking at Columbia University, Pilar meets Gus Brubaker. Gus is a Spanish literature translator, and he is immediately taken in by Pilar's intellect and stunning beauty. Pilar is conflicted and still dealing with the aftermath of her rape as her attacker continues his harassment. She is also pregnant. How will she explain this to Gus, who, she believes, will surely leave her when she reveals her pregnancy? The Translators tells a story of troubled romance set in the world of linguistics and literature. As Pilar and Gus travel the world together, they also must travel beyond pains of the past. In the conquering of violence, there is a possibility of healing and perhaps, a possibility of endless love."

France and the Grand Tour by J. Black Pdf

In this innovative study of the Grand Tour, Black relies on archival sources to provide an exploration of the real tourist experience rather than, as for the majority of studies of the Grand Tour, an account that is essentially based on travel literature. While sensitive to wider cultural dimensions, the author demonstrates his interest in the experience of tourists, particularly the circumstances they encountered, and the impact of the Grand Tour on British Society.
