Book Description
Set in New York, Three Days of Rain centers on a brother Walker, his sister Nan, and their childhood friend Pip who meet to settle their parents' estate. The two fathers were long-time friends and partners in architecture; their legacy is the brilliantly daring creation, the 1960's Janeway House. In this tense and brittle reunion, much more is at stake than who gets the house. Brother and sister discover their father's sparse diary, and use it to create a story for themselves that will explain away the present and make sense of their parent's passionless marriage. Over the three days of rain entered in the young architect's diary, the same three actors then play their own parents and reveal a romantic significance and creative dilemma that none of these children could ever have imagined. Julia Roberts will make her Broadway debut in spring 2006 as Nan in a revival of Richard Greenberg's Three Days of Rain.

Unjust Conditions
Author: Tara Patricia Cookson
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520969529
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Unjust Conditions follows the lives and labors of poor mothers in rural Peru, richly documenting the ordeals they face to participate in mainstream poverty alleviation programs. Championed by behavioral economists and the World Bank, conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs are praised as efficient mechanisms for changing poor people's behavior. While rooted in good intentions and dripping with the rhetoric of social inclusion, CCT programs' successes ring hollow, based solely on metrics for children’s attendance at school and health appointments. Looking beyond these statistics reveals a host of hidden costs for the mothers who meet the conditions. With a poignant voice and keen focus on ethnographic research, Tara Patricia Cookson turns the reader’s gaze to women’s care work in landscapes of grossly inadequate state investment, cleverly drawing out the tensions between social inclusion and conditionality.

Book Description
Jones is haunted by the specters of Reliability and Validity, motivated by the goals of multivocality and multiple truths, and driven by the music. She is also driven by the mystery and complexity of women's music; a category which is impossible to capture, tame, or pin down. In exploring dynamics of race and gender in the club as an organization, Jones refuses to reduce the richness of her observations to simplistic, categorical statements.

Zane Grey
Author: Thomas H. Pauly
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252092112
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
Zane Grey was a disappointed aspirant to major league baseball and an unhappy dentist when he belatedly decided to take up writing at the age of thirty. He went on to become the most successful American author of the 1920s, a significant figure in the early development of the film industry, and a central player in the early popularity of the Western. Thomas H. Pauly's work is the first full-length biography of Grey to appear in over thirty years. Using a hitherto unknown trove of letters and journals, including never-before-seen photographs of his adventures--both natural and amorous--Zane Grey has greatly enlarged and radically altered the current understanding of the superstar author, whose fifty-seven novels and one hundred and thirty movies heavily influenced the world's perception of the Old West.

A World Without Color (Journey Series Book 2)
Author: Cassandra Blizzard
Publisher: Bad Rabbit Publications
ISBN: 1468157523
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Can One Book Change The World? Possibly. One of the most often posed questions I receive from clients and readers is: “Why is there so much evil in the world? Why is there so much violence and hate?” The answer is simple. Because we’ve forgotten who we are and why we are here on this planet. That answer may sound like the preface to some airy-fairy metaphysical book, but it’s not. Understanding who we are is essential to living a balanced life. I am talking, of course, about the human soul. Whether or not you choose to believe in a human soul, this book offers insight into the same question. Why is there so much violence in the world? What I will share in this book is one of the deepest, most basic, and yet most important principles that I learned during my Seven Years of Surrender. It was the beginning, so to speak. The beginning of understanding. And the principles in this book should be the foundation from which we all seek to understand ourselves and others. If you have read my book Seven Years of Surrender, then you know that I had an endless amount of time to do nothing but meditate and ponder the mysteries of life. I’m not suggesting that I have all the answers. Life is a continuous state of evolution, an unfoldment of wisdom and understanding. We all evolve through life. I am not perfect. I am not infallible. But my tragedy was not for nothing. I was willing to plunge into the depths of life and come out with a better understanding of myself and the world around me. I hope you will follow me through my book series and learn along with me as we grow together. A World Without Color is a thought provoking book that is designed to cause a shift in consciousness. It transcends race, religion and borders with its world changing views. It gets to the root of the issues that separate the people of the world and what separates us from true peace and happiness within ourselves.
