This Heated Place by Deborah Campbell Pdf

This Heated Place is a compelling account of travel in war-torn Israel, with personal insights into the region's complex and bloody struggles. Returning to Israel after a ten-year absence, Deborah Campbell — a Canadian student at Tel Aviv University during the Gulf War — takes readers along for the ride as she gains insight into one of the world's most intractable conflicts. She drives through the West Bank with an American-Israeli settler in his bombproof SUV; visits a Palestinian family in Hebron following an Israeli army raid; talks to girls at an Islamic school in Gaza; and meets Israeli refuseniks who have spent time in prison for their stance. Skillfully weaving together elements of political reporting with travel writing, and rejecting the simplifications that characterize mainstream journalism, Campbell carefully records her observations. Her belief that the majority of people on both sides want peace is based both on her personal experiences and on recent developments, and always she is mindful that, when it comes to understanding this terrible conflict, what you see depends on where you are standing. A highlighted map of the region and a selection of the author's own photos are included.

A Warm Place: Prelude by Misty Vixen Pdf

It's been two years since the end began. In 2036, a rapidly destabilizing climate culminated in a worldwide snowstorm that froze the entire planet. Billions are now dead due to starvation, disease, civil unrest, and the plummeting temperatures. What remains of humanity now live in small settlements or isolated makeshift villages, carving out miserable lives in this grim new reality. Some, like Chris Weston, choose to travel among the vast winter wastelands between the bastions of civilization. In the aftermath of the great collapse, Chris finds himself strangely suited for this new world. Strong, motivated, patient, and already possessing a fair amount of knowledge on wilderness survival, he's lucky enough to feed the strong urge of wanderlust that grips him despite the new, icebound Earth. While walking along a lonely highway, Chris comes across an isolated gas station, an almost-functional vehicle, and a very attractive woman. Her name is Mary, and he learns she is very amenable to some hot fun in exchange for a safe escort to civilization... Also contains the short story HIT THE ROAD, which takes place between Prelude & A Warm Place. A WARM PLACE contains detailed, hot sexual encounters and scenes of violence.

Heat Wave by Eric Klinenberg Pdf

The “compelling” story behind the 1995 Chicago weather disaster that killed hundreds—and what it revealed about our broken society (Boston Globe). On July 13, 1995, Chicagoans awoke to a blistering day in which the temperature would reach 106 degrees. The heat index—how the temperature actually feels on the body—would hit 126. When the heat wave broke a week later, city streets had buckled; records for electrical use were shattered; and power grids had failed, leaving residents without electricity for up to two days. By July 20, over seven hundred people had perished—twenty times the number of those struck down by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Heat waves kill more Americans than all other natural disasters combined. Until now, no one could explain either the overwhelming number or the heartbreaking manner of the deaths resulting from the 1995 Chicago heat wave. Meteorologists and medical scientists have been unable to account for the scale of the trauma, and political officials have puzzled over the sources of the city’s vulnerability. In Heat Wave, Eric Klinenberg takes us inside the anatomy of the metropolis to conduct what he calls a “social autopsy,” examining the social, political, and institutional organs of the city that made this urban disaster so much worse than it ought to have been. He investigates why some neighborhoods experienced greater mortality than others, how city government responded, and how journalists, scientists, and public officials reported and explained these events. Through years of fieldwork, interviews, and research, he uncovers the surprising and unsettling forms of social breakdown that contributed to this human catastrophe as hundreds died alone behind locked doors and sealed windows, out of contact with friends, family, community groups, and public agencies. As this incisive and gripping account demonstrates, the widening cracks in the social foundations of American cities made visible by the 1995 heat wave remain in play in America’s cities today—and we ignore them at our peril. Includes photos and a new preface on meeting the challenges of climate change in urban centers “Heat Wave is not so much a book about weather, as it is about the calamitous consequences of forgetting our fellow citizens. . . . A provocative, fascinating book, one that applies to much more than weather disasters.” —Chicago Sun-Times “It’s hard to put down Heat Wave without believing you’ve just read a tale of slow murder by public policy.” —Salon “A classic. I can’t recommend it enough.” —Chris Hayes

He visits a bizarre flower-show in Pyongyang, crosses confusing ethno-religious fault lines in the Balkans and Lebanon, drinks tea with friendly Yemenis near Osama bin Laden’s ancestral village, explores prehistoric caves with Tuareg tribesmen in Libya, and plays Indiana Jones among pyramids shortly after a rebel attack on Khartoum. Through long-forgotten characters, bizarre coincidences of history and personal stories of individuals he encountered, Wee Cheng turns faraway lands alive, and convinces the reader that these are more than just places in the news.

A Place That's Warm and Beautiful by Jane Ackerley Pdf

God's Promises are More Real than Emotions, Circumstances, or Problems. What is life throwing at you? Have you made some seriously wrong choices? This memoir is the beautiful story of a soul nourished and sustained by God's presence through challenges and difficulties of life-cancer, the death of parents, the piercing pain of an adult son's death by suicide, and coping with the aftermath of bad decisions. God wants us to do only one thing-trust him! A Place That's Warm and Beautiful speaks of a personal relationship with the Lord. Beyond the empty religion of dos and don'ts, there is a fellowship with Jesus that beckons us to a life of fulfillment and peace. Regret and shame are dark emotions that are better not experienced, but God is the chain breaker. Doing his will and in his way can turn some pretty crummy things into something good. A journey to truth led by God. True freedom is liberation from those outside forces that include illegal drugs, promiscuous sex, and addictions that control lives and make people miserable. True freedom is God in control. Failure is not fun, but it is fixable. Sometimes, we have to experience failure in order to realize our dependence on God and let him take over. This story is about a journey to faith that will inspire and uplift you to move forward-a spiritual journey that has revealed a purpose on earth, both personally and professionally; an awareness of God; and a closer relationship with Jesus. The Lord knows the past, present, and future. Trust him and take each step-one at a time. May all who read this memoir be touched and enlightened by the singular spiritual intuitive gift of its author, who has shared so transparently with such a childlike gratitude, the story of a soul "that's warm and beautiful" in God.
