English | 2020 | ISBN: 1925868206 | EPUB | pages: 256 | 1.0 mb
One woman, two donkeys and an extraordinary outback journey of healing and renewalOn a warm day in May 2004 Liz Byron set off from Cooktown with her two companions, donkeys Grace and Charley, on a self-imposed challenge to walk 2500 kilometres of the Bicentennial National Trail over 9 months. This epic journey was a rite of passage to mark leaving 40 years of marriage and embarking on life as a single woman at the age of 61. She foresaw that self-reliance, physical stamina and route-finding would be challenges but couldn’t have known how the environment in Queensland was to test her to the limit. Years of drought had left much of her route a dusty wasteland, without food or water for her animals. Years of suffering from childhood abuse and a family tragedy had left her unwilling to ask for help. Walking became a meditation, an exercise in being in the moment even when that moment was 43 degrees or she hadn’t eaten for 7 hours.In her moving memoir, Liz reveals how she healed herself step by step on the way to her new home in northern NSW – by learning to trust her intuition, the wisdom of her animals and the kindness of strangers.

Free Download Jim Collins, "The Last Best League: One Summer, One Season, One Dream"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 0306823101, 0738209015 | EPUB | pages: 336 | 2.1 mb
Every summer, in ten small towns across Cape Cod, young college baseball players showcase their talents in hopes of making it to the "show." A vicious filter, the league has produced one out of every six major league players, from Nomar Garciaparra and Todd Helton to Jeff Bagwell and Barry Zito.In this brilliantly crafted narrative, Jim Collins chronicles a season in the life of the Chatham A’s, perhaps the most celebrated team in the Cape Cod Baseball League. Set against a seemingly bucolic backdrop-a well-heeled resort town on the bend of the outer Cape – the story charts the changing fortunes of a handful of players, all of whom battle slumps and self-doubt in an effort to impress major league scouts and make the playoffs. Several players go home with career-threatening injuries; one blue-chip prospect fulfills great expectations while another is dubbed "the biggest disappointment on the Cape." A pitcher hides an arm injury while negotiating a minor league contract; another leaves early to tend to his dying father. And nearly all look to the following year’s major league draft as a barometer of their worth. Far more than a baseball book, The Last Best League is an engrossing story about dreams fulfilled and dreams destroyed, about Cape Cod and the rites of summer, about coming of age in America.

Free Download Aubrey Malone, "The Defiant One: A Biography of Tony Curtis"
English | 2013 | ISBN: 0786475951 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 7.9 mb
This new biography contains excerpts from interviews and articles by and about Curtis all the way from his teens in the Bronx to his death at 85 in 2010. Many of these are little known and provide insights into his complex relationship with fame, family and females, the three obsessions of his life. The book also documents his many struggles with substance abuse, his disenchantment with Hollywood when it failed to take him seriously, the violent deaths of his two brothers, the failure of four of his marriages, a heart attack, the death of a son from a drug overdose and, most importantly, the manner in which his resilient spirit saw him through these challenges and tragedies. It’s a revisionist biography which adds significantly to the received wisdom on his life and times, not only through personal interviews but also revelations from two recent books not yet available in English, one written by his daughter Allegra and the other by his ex-wife Christine Kaufmann.

Free Download Robert Hazel, "Snakes, People, and Spirits, Volume One"
English | ISBN: 1527537676 | 2019 | 567 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This two-volume publication offers an in-depth analysis of ophidian symbolism in eastern Africa, all the while setting the topic within its regional and historical context: namely, the rest of Africa, ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, the Greek world, ancient Palestine and Arabia, medieval and pre-Christian Europe, as well as ancient and contemporary India. Through the ages, most of those areas must have had connections with eastern Africa. This first volume deals with snakes as a zoological category, snake symbolism as perceived by encyclopaedists and psychologists, symbolisation as a basic cultural process, and ophidian symbolism as it occurred in ancient civilisations and on the traditional African scene in general. Like other forms of animal representation, ophidian symbolism has always been elaborated out of the key biological and ethological characteristics of snakes. Inevitably at work here, however, was the process of symbolisation, an ongoing process that plays a crucial role in the elaboration of cultural systems and the shaping of human experience. Volume One ends with an array of glimpses of ophidian symbolism recorded in parts of Sub-Saharan Africa aside from eastern Africa, thereby setting the scene for a more proximate baseline for comparison. In the works of encyclopaedists, in ancient Mesopotamia, and in western Africa, the constellation of meanings attributed to snakes is multifaceted and typically paradoxical. As underscored by a few scholars, the widely acknowledged assimilation of snakes to death and Evil is clearly unrepresentative, both historically and culturally. Overall, these two volumes show that African snake symbolism broadly echoed the diverse representations of ancient civilisations.

Senegal Sojourn: Selections from One Teacher’s Journal is a personal account of experiences while working with foreign language teachers and writers of fiction in Africa during an academic year. Affording glimpses into that stay, whether in classrooms, on the streets of the capital, Dakar, at concerts, with writers and intellectuals, or while sightseeing in Senegal and Mali, the journal offers a record of what the year held for a Fulbright Scholar learning from as well as contributing to a vibrant cultural scene. The diary is based on lived experience in a predominantly Muslim country, in an effort to begin to interact with and learn from a part of the world which demands respect and challenges impositions, yet continues to intrigue.
