The distinctive way of life of the Southern Appalachian people has often been criticized, romanticized or derided, but rarely has it been understood. Yesterday's People, the fruit of many years' labor in the mountains, reveals the fears, anxieties, and hopes that underlie the mountaineers' way of thinking and acting, and thereby shape their relationships in family and community. First published in 1965, this book has been an indispensable guide for all who seek to study, work or live within the Appalachian culture.
This is the extraordinary story of Jenny Cockell, a young woman from Northamptonshire, who has always known that she has lived before. In her previous life her name was Mary. She was an Irishwoman who died 21 years before Jenny was born leaving several very young children without a mother or a stable, happy home. Yesterday's Children describes the trauma and worry of this continual pastlife memory, and Jenny's decision to search for her lost children. The book follows her progress through her dreams and memories, the revelations of hypnotism, her searches through maps, through local groups in Ireland, and her trip to the village where Mary had lived. Finally, she details her painstaking search for the children (now in their sixties and seventies) who had been split up after Mary's death, and the extraordinary reunions that took place. This is a fascinating book. In many ways it is a real life detective story, as we learn about Jenny, about Mary, her difficult life and finally, with great joy and trepidation, discover what happened to her children.

The World of Yesterday's Humanist Today by Marion Sonnenfeld Pdf
Fifty years ago, Stefan Zweig, who committed suicide in 1942, was the most widely read and translated living writer in the world. Zweig's Vienna was a world of bright, brittle superficialities, in which the bourgeoisie "gradually elevated the eternal business of seeing and being seen to the purpose of the existence." To break through the facades of this society, Zweig developed a remarkable literary and psychological method. In The World of Yesterday's Humanist Today, thirty scholars of history, literature, and music share their studies of Zweig and their insight into his works.

Letting Go of Yesterday's Pain: Carol's Story by Violet O. Cox Ph.D Pdf
Letting Go of Yesterday’s Pain is a story passionately narrated by Carol as she struggles to find herself in the midst of family feuds, lies, murder, incest, and deception. The book starts out at a slow pace, as the heroine wrestles with her inner conflicts of whether to be publicly transparent or to remain cocooned in her past. However, the momentum of the story picks up when she finally bursts forth from the struggle and unabashedly travels vividly through the chapters of her life’s story. In a pseudo-autobiographical fashion, Carol chronicles her childhood years that wove the pattern for her adolescent and later adult years of deprivation, rebellion, mistrust, and promiscuity. The deeper structure of the book speaks to two very fundamental building blocks of human existence: the role of the family in shaping the destiny of each member and the unquestionable providential hand of God still guiding a soul in spite of bad choices. The discussion sections based on each chapter provided in the appendix offer biblical authenticity.

Today's Sounds for Yesterday's Films by K.J. Donnelly,Ann-Kristin Wallengren Pdf
In recent years, there has been something of an explosion in the performance of live music to silent films. There is a wide range of films with live and new scores that run from the historically accurate orchestral scores to contemporary sounds by groups such as Pet Shop Boys or by experimental composers and gothic heavy metal bands. It is no exaggeration to claim that music constitutes a bridge between the old silent film and the modern audience; music is also a channel for non-scholarly audiences to gain an appreciation of silent films. Music has become a means both for musicians and audiences to understand this bygone film art anew. This book is the first of its kind in that it aims to bring together writings and interviews to delineate the culture of providing music for silent films. It not only has the character of a scholarly work but is also something of a manual in that it discusses how to make music for silent films.
In life, we all experience painful events. Hearts get broken, a friend lets us down, and the death of a loved one brings the desolation of grief. Sadly, some life journeys also include abuse, harm, betrayal or terrifying situations. How we cope afterwards depends on many factors, but trauma often creates an emotional wound. As time passes, some healing occurs naturally. Yet trauma often remains in the psyche for months, years or even decades. Carrying an emotional wound makes life more complicated. However, everyone can begin to feel better, lighter and happier. Healing starts with a deeper understanding of what happened, compassion, self-love and renewed self-esteem. Heal Yesterday’s Trauma dives into common areas of difficulties experienced in life. Each chapter explores how trauma hinders happiness and how to turn it around. Client stories—as well as those of the author’s—show how they released their pain. There are also exercises, tools and wisdom about becoming emotionally savvy, restoring boundaries and working with anger without exploding. The book includes a compassionate exploration of forgiveness and advice on how to heal a broken heart, as well as how to find peace after the death of a loved one. The book's theme is to help people re-find their inner happiness.

'So there I was - a twenty-one year old black female university student walking down a suburban street with a gun, no shoes and murder on my mind. I was going to kill the past. I didn't know what else to do with it' Stacey Patton today is a vibrant and impressive young woman with a promising career in journalism. Yet her childhood was a battleground of bullying, abuse and mental torture. Abandoned by her birth mother, Stacey was placed in the New Jersey foster care system and was apparently lucky to be adopted by a hardworking, God-fearing African American couple. Yet something else was going on in this immaculately kept home - punishment in terrible ways, physical, emotional and sexual. Her mother was tyrannical and her father, either so in love with or in fear of his wife, turned a blind eye to the abuse she heaped on their love-starved little girl. Stacey survived by channelling her energy into her school work and her education raised her from the shackles of her unhappy home. Drawing parallels between her own childhood and the treatment of black slaves brought to America, Stacey Patton weaves the moving story of her own painful upbringing with the shameful slave history of America.
Adopted at an early age, I had no idea what was going on or what was about to happen to me. I found myself growing up in a household with people that abused me mentally, physically, and emotionally. Not knowing how to deal with living in a loveless home, I began to act out. I was out of control in school. I made sure I got good grades. My behavior, on the other hand, showed that I was a troubled child. I did not listen to teachers, principals, or anyone else. I pulled fire alarms and locked classroom and bathroom doors. I was always in the principal's office for fighting or stealing. I even remember sliding down the front hall in my slip. That was just kindergarten. I began drinking, drugging, and smoking cigarettes at the age of twelve. At that time, I felt like I was completely free of all emotion. There was nothing or no one that was ever going to hurt me again. I had become just as toxic as my environment. I carried all that baggage to college with me. It was there I met my children's father. From infidelity to prison, the back-and-forth in this relationship was shameful, to say the least. This had to be the pettiest relationship I have ever seen or been in. Instead of walking away, we got married and had two daughters together. It was thirteen long years of heavy drinking, drugging, and domestic violence. Our children witnessed far too much far too soon. I was creating more damaged goods.
