Voices in Time by Hugh MacLennan Pdf

In the 1980s the Bureaucracy eliminated all knowledge of the past in the wake of a nuclear holocaust. In 2030 André Gervais discovers two metal boxes containing manuscripts, diaries, and other personal papers that have somehow survived and asks an old man, John Wellfleet, to use these documents to discover the past. In doing so, Wellfleet learns the truth about two relatives: his older cousin Timothy Wellfleet, a Montreal TV journalist at the time of the 1970 War Measures Act, and his stepfather, Conrad Dehmel, a German scholar struggling to keep his Jewish fiancée and himself safe from Hitler's Gestapo. Hugh MacLennan skillfully juxtaposes the insanity of life in Nazi Germany, the political climate of Montreal in the 1960s, and the perspective of an old man looking back on the conditions that led to world destruction as the background to an unforgettable love story.

Voices of Time by Eduardo Galeano Pdf

A striking mosaic of memories, observations, and legends that together reveal the author's own story and a grand, compassionate vision of life itself In this kaleidoscope of reflections, renowned South American author Eduardo Galeano ranges widely, from childhood to love, music, plants, fear, indignity, and indignation. In the signal style of his bestselling and much-admired Memory of Fire trilogy—brief fragments that build steadily into an organic whole—Galeano offers a rich, wry history of his life and times that is both calmly philosophical and fiercely political. Beginning with blue algae, the earliest of life forms, these 333 vignettes alight on the Galeano family's immigration to Uruguay in the early twentieth century, the fate of love letters intercepted by a military dictatorship, abuses by the rich and powerful, the latest military outrages, and the author's own encounters with all manner of living matter, including generals, bums, dissidents, soccer stars, ducks, and trees. Out of these meditations emerges neither anger nor bitterness, but a celebration of a blessed life in a harsh world. Poetic and passionate, scathing and lyrical, delivered with Galeano's inimitable mix of gentle comedy and fierce moral judgment, Voices of Time is a deeply personal statement from a great and beloved writer.

Voices Out of Time by Charles L. Grant Pdf

Alice MacDonneaugh, visiting Cullcriag Castle, her family's ancestral home in the Scottish moors to recover from the shock of the fire that claimed her parent's lives, fears she is losing her mind. For everywhere she goes, she is beset by visions and voices...beckoning...warning...threatening ... luring...voices out of time that call from musty graves and sing softly to the music of flutes and pipes...And visions of Morag - the lady in the tapestry - whom everyone says is Alice's look-alike, though she has been dead for over 300 years. Morag, the witch, Morag, once Mistress of Cullcraig; Morag, whose magnificent ruby gem holds the secrets of the past and the salvation of the future; Morag whose hand reaches out from the grave and the tapestry, trying to defy time and space and pull Alice back through the centuries, back past the grave, so she alone might learn the secret of the MacDonneaugh clan!

Politics, Time , Flying, and Voices by Dana Foster Pdf

Politics, Time, Flying, and Voices is a collection of four short stories that weave together routine circumstances and some ideas that may or may not be possible. Readers of a book like this might just find some surprises for each of the characters in each of the stories as follows : The Political Campaign Amateur : A politician is running for office who might have good ideas but cannot communicate them very well. The candidate is also prone to gaffes while speaking. He then receives unexpected help with improved campaign messaging. The help is in the form of articulate suggested speeches submitted by someone who is unexperienced with professional political campaign management or political speechwriting. Its Just a Matter of Time : Two different people who live apart love their precious time together when they visit with each other. They also have similar frustrations regarding time or time management. Futuristic ideas such as flying cars, nanocomputers, and foglets might provide each of them hope for overcoming those frustrations. Another Type of Transportation What if one could travel from point A to point B regardless of distance without the hassles or expense of traditional flying or the limitations of airline schedules ? The Ears and Eyes Above Changes in direction that Harry pursued with his life seemed to cause him to see and hear deceased relatives or the folks upstairs conducting discussions about his activities and thoughts. And then it appeared that there was an unseen but ongoing video-taping process recording everything that Harry was doing and thinking.

TIME-LESS VOICES- BEFORE I FALL ASLEEP by Janetha S. Pierpoint Pdf

Author Janetha S. Pierpoint believes the populace will not wait to identify with what is true and reject what is not. The greater part of humanity is rising from a deep sleep, determined to return to their roots. In Timeless Voices—Before I Fall Asleep, she expands on this idea, writes of her personal experiences, and shares her observations of her daily interactions and of people just being who they are. Each of her poems and essays tells a story with numerous takeaways. Each day, she asks, “Who are we as a people? Have we forgotten to reveal history? If history remains hidden, should we not ask why?” Pierpoint seeks to pinpoint a time period marked by greatness—our ancestors building impressive structures; creating languages, customs, and traditions; writing; making art; and building architectural marvels. She feels blessed to know that the truth that has been hidden will reveal itself. This collection of poems and essays offers observations on circumstances typically distorted by gossip, ignorance, hidden truth, or secrets intertwined with the lost lives of others.

No Time for Fear by Diane Burke Fessler Pdf

No Time for Fear summons the voices of more than 100 women who served as nurses overseas during World War II, letting them tell their story as no one else can. Fessler has meticulously compiled and transcribed more than 200 interviews with American military nurses of the Army, Army Air Force, and Navy who were present in all theaters of WWII. Their stories bring to life horrific tales of illness and hardship, blinding blizzards, and near starvation—all faced with courage, tenacity, and even good humor. This unique oral-history collection makes available to readers an important counterpoint to the seemingly endless discussions of strategy, planning, and troop movement that often characterize discussions of the Second World War.

Voices from the Ancestors by Lara Medina,Martha R. Gonzales Pdf

Voices from the Ancestors brings together the reflective writings and spiritual practices of Xicanx, Latinx, and Afro-Latinx womxn and male allies in the United States who seek to heal from the historical traumas of colonization by returning to ancestral traditions and knowledge. This wisdom is based on the authors’ oral traditions, research, intuitions, and lived experiences—wisdom inspired by, and created from, personal trajectories on the path to spiritual conocimiento, or inner spiritual inquiry. This conocimiento has reemerged over the last fifty years as efforts to decolonize lives, minds, spirits, and bodies have advanced. Yet this knowledge goes back many generations to the time when the ancestors understood their interconnectedness with each other, with nature, and with the sacred cosmic forces—a time when the human body was a microcosm of the universe. Reclaiming and reconstructing spirituality based on non-Western epistemologies is central to the process of decolonization, particularly in these fraught times. The wisdom offered here appears in a variety of forms—in reflective essays, poetry, prayers, specific guidelines for healing practices, communal rituals, and visual art, all meant to address life transitions and how to live holistically and with a spiritual consciousness for the challenges of the twenty-first century.
