The Dust Bunny Brigade by Blair Kluckman Pdf

Jasper is a lonely dust bunny that lives in a very clean house thanks to a scary house keeper, Bertha. He has been alone since the Warner family bought the abandoned house he called home, and cleaned it up. He dreams of getting to the abandoned house across the street, where he has seen a pink dust bunny named Tilly who dances in the front room window every night. He knows the house would be crawling with dust bunnies like him, as their dancing leads to the creation of more and more dust bunnies. The dust bunnies have dance parties to create dust clouds that settle, and if left alone for long enough, will create more dust bunnies. Jasper, however is forced to hide in a cabinet by day, and only comes out at night to dance in an attempt to create more bunnies. His attempts, however, are always in vain thanks to Bertha. Staying in the Warner house becomes down-right dangerous when Bertha catches wind of Jasper's existence. By chance, Jasper meets Tilly one night after watching her dance in the window of the house across the street. Simply walking across the street to join Tilly and the other bunnies can't be done since going outside could very well be a death sentence for a dust bunny. Instead, the two develop a unique way to talk to each other. It's through this new form of communicating that Jasper and Tilly try to come up with a plan to save Jasper from Bertha before it's too late.

Red Cavalry by Isaac Babel,Nathalie Babel Pdf

"Amazing not only as literature but as biography." —Richard Bernstein, The New York Times One of the great masterpieces of Russian literature, the Red Cavalry cycle retains today the shocking freshness that made Babel's reputation when the stories were first published in the 1920s. Using his own experiences as a journalist and propagandist with the Red Army during the war against Poland, Babel brings to life an astonishing cast of characters from the exuberant, violent era of early Soviet history: commissars and colonels, Cossacks and peasants, and among them the bespectacled, Jewish writer/intellectual, observing it all and trying to establish his role in the new Russia. Drawn from the acclaimed, award-winning Complete Works of Isaac Babel, this volume includes all of the Red Cavalry cycle; Babel's 1920 diary, from which the material for the fiction was drawn; and his preliminary sketches for the stories—the whole constituting a fascinating picture of a great writer turning life into art.

The Red Cavalry - Babel by Isaac Babel Pdf

Isaac Babel was a Soviet journalist and writer of Jewish origin, known for his extraordinary short stories, comparable to the best works of Gogol and Maupassant, whom he admired as masters. " Red Cavalry," published in 1926, is his most famous collection of stories, based on Babel's experiences during the Russo-Polish campaign of 1920, where he served in the Budieni Cavalry. All the stories in "Red Cavalry" are imbued with the author's frankness, turbulence, unrestrained tone, anguish, and explosive voice, developing from events he experienced during the war. The author's own life met a tragic end, as despite being an idealistic advocate of Marxism and Leninism, he was arrested, tortured, and executed during Stalin's Great Purge. "Red Cavalry" is a work of vibrant rawness and reality, offering an emotionally gripping read.

War: How Conflict Shaped Us by Margaret MacMillan Pdf

NATIONAL BESTSELLER SHORTLISTED for the 2021 Lionel Gelber Prize Thoughtful and brilliant insights into the very nature of war--from the ancient Greeks to modern times--from world-renowned historian Margaret MacMillan. War--its imprint in our lives and our memories--is all around us, from the metaphors we use to the names on our maps. As books, movies, and television series show, we are drawn to the history and depiction of war. Yet we nevertheless like to think of war as an aberration, as the breakdown of the normal state of peace. This is comforting but wrong. War is woven into the fabric of human civilization. In this sweeping new book, international bestselling author and historian Margaret MacMillan analyzes the tangled history of war and society and our complicated feelings towards it and towards those who fight. It explores the ways in which changes in society have affected the nature of war and how in turn wars have changed the societies that fight them, including the ways in which women have been both participants in and the objects of war. MacMillan's new book contains many revelations, such as war has often been good for science and innovation and in the 20th century it did much for the position of women in many societies. But throughout, it forces the reader to reflect on the ways in which war is so intertwined with society, and the myriad reasons we fight.

Mastodon by Joseph B. Raimond Pdf

Einen Roman wie diesen hat es noch nie gegeben. Am ehesten könnte man wohl The Naked Lunch von William S. Burroughs finden, allerdings ohne den Heroineinfluss. Seltsam, schräg, lustig, mit einem Hauch von Beatnik, einschließlich Zeichnungen von Joseph B. Raimond für jedes Kapitel. Gibt es hier eine Handlung? Eine Geschichte? Schwer zu sagen. There has never been a novel like this. Probably the closest one could find might be The Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs, but without the heroin influence. Strange, weird, fun, with a touch of beatnik, including drawings by Joseph B. Raimond for each chapter. Is there a plot here? A story? Hard to tell.

Birkbeck Word Association Norms by Helen Moss,Lianne Older Pdf

This is a reference work containing free association norms for over 2000 words in the English language collected over the last eight years from groups of 40-50 British English speakers aged between 17 and 45. These norms provide the information that, for example, 67% of people give dog as the first word they think of in response to the word cat, that 24% give the word society in response to the word pillar, and given the name Michael, 65% say Jackson, whereas less than 5% say Heseltine or Caine. These norms will be of use to researchers and students in many fields of psychology, especially language and memory, where the degree of association between pairs of words is often an important experimental variable. The main part of the book contains an alphabetical list of all associative responses and their frequency for each of the 2464 stimulus words. In addition, there is an index of stimulus words organised according to semantic category to aid selection of experimental materials. Full methodological details of the collection and compilation of the data are also provided in the introduction.

Worcestershire Regiment in the Great War Vol 1 by Capt H. FitzM. Stacke Pdf

Arguably the finest regimental history even written. A magnificent publication it is with its profusion of maps, illustrations and photos - each page of photos contains several. The Worcesters was one of the five regiments that had four regular battalions before the war, with two special reserve and two territorial battalions. By the end of the war another fourteen battalions had been raised for a total of twenty-two of which twelve went on active service. 9,460 officers and men gave their lives, 71 Battle Honours were awarded and eight VCs one of whom, attached to the RFC, was the airman Leefe Robinson, famous for shooting down a zeppelin. Battalions served on the Western Front, in Gallipoli, Macedonia, Mesopotamia, Italy; one battalion ended the war in North Persia. Appendices provide the Roll of Honour; Honours and Awards including Mention in Despatches, with date of Gazette (for 'Companion' of the British Empire read 'Commander'); details of Badges, Colours and Distinctions of the regiment; and the music for regimental marches. Illustrations are by well-known artists depicting battle scenes including each VC-winning action - apart from Leefe's zeppelin. After considering various factors, explained in his very informative preface, the author decided to present this history as one general story in which the number of the battalion concerned is printed in the margin of the pages dealing with its deeds. Attention is paid to minor actions such as trench raids, which usually find no place in compressed official histories; they are recorded in this history. The plans illustrate the engagements recorded in the book, and are designed to depict the part played by the several battalions in their battles and to enable the visitor to the battlefields to recognise the ground on which each fight took place, as much as to make clear the general course of those actions. The book opens with a very interesting account of the regiment in the years before the war, beginning at the turn of the century, and there is a very comprehensive index of 25 pages. This is a great piece of work and must rank as one of the finest of the Great War regimental histories, many would say the finest, and I wouldn't argue.
