Flowers, Fauna, and Memories by Tom Wester,Linda M. Kilty Pdf

The title Flowers, Fauna, and Memories was penned by Tom Wester before one word of the story was written. The photographs are the flowers and fauna that inspired Tom. As he studied the photographs, Tom added the memories to the photos in story form. Therefore, the title Flowers, Fauna, and Memories. The book celebrates the seasons of life. The lives of three members of a family whose love for one another is nurtured and then cast away after a foolish mistake is made. It speaks to the ability to regain that love and respect and how that alone can take decades to accomplish. The book is narrated by the family using photographs to help clarify the feelings that are ever present in their lives. Tom and Liz use Liz's photos to express various emotions, which create this story of love and of finding out who we really are, of learning that there really is a God, and finally understanding how God is manifested in the world in which we live. The photos are as important as the verbiage in this story, and it is told from the perspective of how we really speak and not how sentences are to be structured. Acceptance, faith, understanding, and most importantly love is shown how we can see with our eyes that which God wants us to see. How beauty is something inherent in all beings and how we are at times too foolish to realize that. So go and take a look into our lives and see if you cannot find yours from within.

World of Wonders by Aimee Nezhukumatathil Pdf

“A poet celebrates the wonders of nature in a collection of essays that could almost serve as a coming-of-age memoir.” —Kirkus Reviews As a child, Nezhukumatathil called many places home: the grounds of a Kansas mental institution, where her Filipina mother was a doctor; the open skies and tall mountains of Arizona, where she hiked with her Indian father; and the chillier climes of western New York and Ohio. But no matter where she was transplanted—no matter how awkward the fit or forbidding the landscape—she was able to turn to our world’s fierce and funny creatures for guidance. “What the peacock can do,” she tells us, “is remind you of a home you will run away from and run back to all your life.” The axolotl teaches us to smile, even in the face of unkindness; the touch-me-not plant shows us how to shake off unwanted advances; the narwhal demonstrates how to survive in hostile environments. Even in the strange and the unlovely, Nezhukumatathil finds beauty and kinship. For it is this way with wonder: it requires that we are curious enough to look past the distractions in order to fully appreciate the world’s gifts. Warm, lyrical, and gorgeously illustrated by Fumi Nakamura, World of Wonders is a book of sustenance and joy. Praise for World of Wonders Barnes & Noble 2020 Book of the Year An NPR Best Book of 2020 An Esquire Best Book of 2020 A Publishers Weekly “Big Indie Book of Fall 2020” A BuzzFeed Best Book of Fall 2020 “Hands-down one of the most beautiful books of the year.” —NPR “A timely story about love, identity and belonging.” —New York Times Book Review “A truly wonderous essay collection.” —Roxane Gay, The Audacity

Placing Memory and Remembering Place in Canada by James Opp,John C. Walsh Pdf

Places are imagined, made, claimed, fought for and defended, and always in a state of becoming. This important book explores the historical and theoretical relationships among place, community, and public memory across differing chronologies and geographies within twentieth-century Canada. It is a collaborative work that shifts the focus from nation and empire to local places sitting at the intersection of public memory making and identity formation � main streets, city squares and village museums, internment camps, industrial wastelands, and the landscape itself. With a focus on the materiality of image, text, and artefact, the essays gathered here argue that every act of memory making is simultaneously an act of forgetting; every place memorialized is accompanied by places forgotten.

One Play by Tom Wester,Linda M. Kilty Pdf

'One Play' opens with a series of case studies done by Adam Rosenburg. The first fifty or so pages are geared to 'case studies' of three individuals. A little at a time each character is evolving, and reaching resolution in short vignettes. As one continues reading, more characters are introduced, and an intriguing story begins to unfold. The uniqueness of this book is that each vignette can be viewed as a standalone piece or an integral part of the entire work. ‘One Play’ is a continuation of Tom Wester’s first book 'Flowers, Fauna, and Memories'. Two previous characters along with more main players have now been introduced in ‘One Play’. The story follows their lives; faceted, weaved, and entwined through sorrow, laughter, pain and fulfillment. Three R’s are in total command throughout the book: recognition; redemption and reformation. Written in a manner that might very well be considered 'easy reading' and 'stream of consciousness’, in ‘One Play’ the writer throws a number of twists into the mix, making many of the characters not as predictable as one might expect. One of the primary characters in 'One Play', Dr. Adam Rosenberg, is both a practicing psychologist and a professor at University of Wisconsin, Madison. One of Adam's goals in life is to write a guide to safe sex amongst seniors. This became a must do item once he learned of his own divorced mom contracting genital herpes. Dr. R felt that there was far too much information out-there that was being suppressed. Rather than offering a bunch of statistics, he wanted to create a book based in part on his own patients, and written with some degree of humor. He perceived that if folks can laugh along the way, he could get more to realize in intimate relationships, the potentials for enjoyment, as well as the real chances of late life unexpected pregnancy, and the dangers of contracting some very nasty STD’s. The philosophy and distinct knowledge of two Jesuit priests Father Anthony De Nello and Father Leo Daly were absorbed by the writer’s soul. New adaptations as inspiration from them come subtly meandering through the volume. Thereby allowing Tom Wester, the author of 'One Play' to be guided to, and develop his own methodologies in the creation of the text. The photography also plays a big part in the telling of the stories. Verbiage is added around the images and into the hearts and souls of the characters. It is the hopes of the authors that all who read One Play enjoy the stories and photography from the introduction to the afterword, and that it captures and touches their heart and soul.

Sport, Memory and Nationhood in Japan by Andreas Niehaus,Christian Tagsold Pdf

This book clarifies and verifies the role sport has as an alternative marker in understanding and mapping memory in Japan, by applying the concept of lieux de mémoire (realms of memory) to sport in Japan. Japanese history and national construction have not been short of sports landmarks since the end of the nineteenth century. Western-style sports were introduced into Japan in order to modernize the country and develop a culture of consciousness about bodies resembling that of the Western world. Japan’s modernization has been a process of embracing Western thought and culture while at the same time attempting to establish what distinguishes Japan from the West. In this context, sports functioned as sites of contested identities and memories. The Olympics, baseball and soccer have produced memories in Japan, but so too have martial arts, which by their very name signify an attempt to create traditions beyond Western sports. Because modern sports form bodies of modern citizens and, at the same time, offer countless opportunities for competition with other nations, they provide an excellent ground for testing and contesting national identifications. By revealing some of the key realms of memory in the Japanese field of sports, this book shows how memories and counter-memories of (sport) moments, places, and heroes constitute an inventory for identity. This book was originally published as a special issue of Sport in Society.
