Frozen Tears
Author: Albert Jan Pleysier
Publisher: University Press of America
ISBN: 9780761841258
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Frozen Tears unfolds the events that led to Germany's military invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 and explores Germany's advance on Leningrad and the blockade that was established against the city. This story examines the lives of the city's inhabitants who suffered from the consequences of the siege that finally ended in 1944. By this time more than one million Leningraders had lost their lives. The lives of public figures are often used by historians to tell the events of the past. The decisions they made and the actions that were taken are discussed and analyzed. However, the experiences of commoners--men, women, and children not mentioned in textbooks--often illustrate better the events of the past. In Frozen Tears, Albert Pleysier has taken the contents of diaries, letters, essays, and interviews written or given by persons who lived in Leningrad during the siege and placed them in their historical setting. The result is a very personal history of the siege of Leningrad.

Pages : 67
Book Description
Whenever one smiles and tells people that he or she is okay, they believe it. But then, when that person tells them about how down and low they feel, people say that you are so happy and you’re smiling, then how are you feeling that way? Well, one thing that people need to learn is that appearances can be deceiving. You don’t want to believe someone based on how they seem currently. People need to learn how to be kind, soft-spoken and learn to manage their ego since you don’t know what the other person is going through. One unnecessary word from you can change their lives and might make someone end theirs. We don’t tend to know the power held by our words. Even circumlocution can hurt someone. But some simple, kind words become soothing and miraculous for a person. Those words act like a rope when a person is drowning in the sea of darkness. It gives a new ray of hope. And that’s what happened to the author of this Frozen Tears. This book describes the pain one goes through during the heart-breaking yet ethereal phase of ‘one-sided’ love. The phase which gives rise to a new and fresh being, which happens to everyone at least once in their lifetime, happened with Alisha. Even though she knew that the feeling wouldn’t be mutual, she suffered through that phase, and it was even more breaking than she had expected. It was a sudden paroxysm of grieving emotions.

Book Description
In Going to Extremes writer, presenter and Oxford geography don Nick Middleton visits Oymyakon in Siberia, where the average winter temperature is -47 degrees and 40% of the population have lost their fingers to frostbite while changing the car wheel. Next he travels to Arica Chile where there have been fourteen consecutive years without a drop of rain and so fog is people's only source of water. Going from the driest to the wettest, he visits Mawsynram in India which annually competes for the title with its neighbour Cherrapunji. However, Nick discovers even here, that during the dry season, there is water shortage and one entrepreneur has started selling it bottled. Finally his journey takes him to Dalol in Ethiopia known as the 'hell hole of creation' where the temperature remains at 94 degrees year round. Here Nick will join miners who work all day with no shade, limited water and no protective clothing. The book and series consider how and why people lives in these harsh environments. How does Nick's body react to these contrasting extremes? He looks at the geographical and meteorological conditions. He meets local characters and discovers the history of these settlements to find out how they ever became populated. He looks at the way both the population, and the flora and fauna, have adapted physically to the climate, and also considers the psychological impact of living under such conditions.

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
This bestselling "lyrical, moving book: part essay, part memoir, part surprising cultural study" is an examination of why we cry, how we cry, and what it means to cry from a woman on the cusp of motherhood confronting her own depression (The New York Times Book Review). Heather Christle has just lost a dear friend to suicide and now must reckon with her own depression and the birth of her first child. As she faces her grief and impending parenthood, she decides to research the act of crying: what it is and why people do it, even if they rarely talk about it. Along the way, she discovers an artist who designed a frozen–tear–shooting gun and a moth that feeds on the tears of other animals. She researches tear–collecting devices (lachrymatories) and explores the role white women’s tears play in racist violence. Honest, intelligent, rapturous, and surprising, Christle’s investigations look through a mosaic of science, history, and her own lived experience to find new ways of understanding life, loss, and mental illness. The Crying Book is a deeply personal tribute to the fascinating strangeness of tears and the unexpected resilience of joy.
