Book Description
On the Wings of Imagination is a fascinating story about a young African American girl who grew up in Argenta, Arkansas, during the 1930s and ’40s. As a young child, she exhibited qualities and behaviors that were uncharacteristic of children her age. She was always cheerful, loving, and kind to everyone with whom she came in contact and wanted to befriend them regardless of race, color, or age. Her motto was “People are just people with me.” One day, she overheard a disclosure by her mother regarding the circumstances of her birth and a statement that God must have saved her for a special purpose. Lilly Mae took it to heart and set out on a spiritual journey to find God’s purpose for her life. The author presents this story (as with her previous book) in a manner that will take you on a roller coaster of emotions—intrigue, sadness, joy, laughter, and tears—as Lilly Mae went through church hopping, jobs, baptisms, love, marriage, disappointment, and finally self-discovery.

Book Description
I lived my life in the weirdest of ways. In everything, I was always weird, so I decided that I want to be special. I was watching TV one day when I saw an interview with a female Kuwaiti poet. I really loved the way she read her first poem to the public in the show. I enjoyed her accent, as well as her voice that drifted along with the words she spoke. Everything flowed together like a boat on water. It was a magical moment that triggered the biggest inspiration of my life. Ever since that day, I couldn’t stop writing. I just remember that I went straight to my room and started writing. It was like a button that got pressed that changed everything in my life to a journey of success. Just like I said, I lived my life in the weirdest of ways, could you explain that?

Book Description
Tessa Hadley examines how Henry James progressively disentangled himself from the moralizing frame through which English-language novels in the nineteenth century had imagined sexual passion. Hadley argues that his relationship with the European novel tradition was crucial, helping to leave behind a way of seeing in which only 'bad' women could be sexual. She reads James's transitional fictions of the 1890s as explorations of how disabling and distorting ideals of women's goodness and purity were learned and perpetuated within English and American cultural processes. These explorations, Hadley argues, liberate James to write the great heterosexual love affairs of the late novels, with their emphasis on the power of pleasure and play: themes which are central to James's ambitious enterprise to represent the privileges and the pains of turn-of-the-century leisure class society.

Book Description
It is widely believed that a child's imagination ought to be stimulated and developed in education. Yet, few teachers understand what imagination is or how it lends itself to practical methods and techniques that can be used easily in classroom instruction. In this book, Kieran Egan—winner of the prestigious Grawemeyer Award for his work on imagination—takes up where his Teaching as Story Telling left off, offering practical help for teachers who want to engage, stimulate, and develop the imaginative and learning processes of children between the ages of eight to fifteen. This book is not about unusually imaginative students and teachers. Rather, it is about the typical student's imaginative life and how it can be stimulated in learning, how the average teacher can plan to achieve this aim, and how the curriculum can be structured to help achieve this aim. Slim and determinedly practical, this book contains a wealth of concrete examples of curriculum design and teaching techniques structured to appeal specifically to children in their middle school years.

Book Description
Free Imagination argues that the brain's capacity to imagine is the fundamental basis of human Free Will. Laws of physics need not apply in our internal simulations, so virtually anything is possible there. And since some of our actions can follow from that which we imagine, especially from processes of deliberation that involve imagining possible scenarios and outcomes, our actions inherit the freedom of our imaginings. The creative power of the human imagination may have evolved as a consequence of the demodularization of neural circuitry associated with volitional attentional operations over operands downloadable into a mental workspace where, virtually, anything could be combined with anything else. This new cognitive architecture gave rise to the danger of psychosis. Our schizotypal form of imagination, arising from the promiscuous, generative and iterative combination of disencapsulated operators and operands in a mental workspace, may have evolved only in humans by exapting from existing motoric and other operations involved in volitional hand dexterity to a domain of premotoric simulation. What we imagine into existence can be used for good or evil. Imagination is therefore our greatest tool and weapon. When applied to ourselves, it allows us the possibility of reimagining and then transforming ourselves in light of second-order desires. This gives us the ability to choose to become a new kind of chooser in the future. Other animals lack this second-order Free Will; although they can do otherwise, they cannot want to become otherwise than they are, making them amoral. This book explores the idea that because humans, in contrast, have second-order Free Will, they can be moral or immoral.
