Book Description
In Random Ramblings, the author delves into the deep recesses of the teenager's mind and mirrors to the world what goes on behind those bespectacled eyes--the cool demeanor; the casual, haughty attitude; and the don't-come-near-me-or-even-begin-to-understand-me look. Human beings are a summation of their myriad and varied experiences. As we grow up, we are touched by people and experiences that ultimately mould us into the persons that we eventually become. Random Ramblings is a compilation of short stories that gives us a peek into the way a teenager thinks and feels about the world around him. Every young boy or girl wants to make his or her life large. Adventures, both real and imagined, of finding one's place in one's extended family and the anguish of relocating to a new city and slowly adjusting to the new place are some of the thoughts behind some of the stories. The book also explores the dreams and aspirations of teenagers. Displaying a wicked sense of humour, Adityesh writes in a tongue-in-cheek style, which infuses a certain freshness and naive optimism to the book. The stories in Random Ramblings are best defined as a guide book for both teenagers and their parents as they navigate the treacherous rivers of human relationships.

Book Description
About the Book This is the second book for author Susanne Ross. Self-described as “writing like a 9-year-old,” Ross sees poetry in EVERYTHING. Inspiration comes to her in the mundane, everyday things: people; places; events; observations; musings; nature; the weather; feelings and experiences (particularly from her dysfunctional childhood). She has a strong enthusiasm and passion for life. Within her books, she attempts to paint a vivid picture with words, as she writes spontaneously, thoughtfully, from the heart, with feeling. About the Author Susanne Ross grew up in a Navy family and has lived all over the United States, and overseas as well. Her own childhood was very rocky in that her parents divorced, remarried, and then divorced once again. She grew up in a very chaotic home, to say the least. Susanne had a long and successful work history, and now she is happily retired. She lives with her long-time fiancé, along with a special cat, in San Diego, California, her hometown. She has two adult children as well, ages 27 and 38. She is a retired civil servant, having worked for cities, counties, state, and federal governments, as well as for an elementary- and middle-school district, a community college district, in addition to having worked for a private practice (retired) dentist as one of his chairside assistants—as an RDA. Being now retired, Susanne has plenty of time to write, which she finds thoroughly enjoyable.

Random Ramblings

Publisher: Writersgram

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
'Random Ramblings as the title suggests is a collection of the random thoughts of the poet who records the raw and unfiltered thoughts that throng her mind from time to time. It resonates with almost every feeling an adult undergoes or exposed to in her and around her life, mostly perceived from a feminine perspective. Every poem is a celebration of a female spirit reverberating with the changing moods of a woman who battles a tough life losing as well as triumphing, displaying her helplessness, conflicts, struggles and resilience. The liberty of the free verse endows the author to pour out her heart without many impediments. It should also be noted that these verses reflect not only the mind and musings of the author alone but rather the representation of umpteen women who are out there in our society battling alone amidst the troublesome travails.

Afghan Napoleon
Author: Sandy Gall
Publisher: Haus Publishing
ISBN: 1913368238
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
The first biography in a decade of Afghan resistance leader Ahmad Shah Massoud. When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979, the forces of resistance were disparate. Many groups were caught up in fighting each other and competing for Western arms. The exception were those commanded by Ahmad Shah Massoud, the military strategist and political operator who solidified the resistance and undermined the Russian occupation, leading resistance members to a series of defensive victories. Sandy Gall followed Massoud during Soviet incursions and reported on the war in Afghanistan, and he draws on this first-hand experience in his biography of this charismatic guerrilla commander. Afghan Napoleon includes excerpts from the surviving volumes of Massoud’s prolific diaries—many translated into English for the first time—which detail crucial moments in his personal life and during his time in the resistance. Born into a liberalizing Afghanistan in the 1960s, Massoud ardently opposed communism, and he rose to prominence by coordinating the defense of the Panjsher Valley against Soviet offensives. Despite being under-equipped and outnumbered, he orchestrated a series of victories over the Russians. Massoud’s assassination in 2001, just two days before the attack on the Twin Towers, is believed to have been ordered by Osama bin Laden. Despite the ultimate frustration of Massoud’s attempts to build political consensus, he is recognized today as a national hero.

"Diversity, tolerance, inclusivity, and social justice are the chief values of postmodernity and political correctness. In a culture where these are deemed some of the last remaining virtues and biblical principles are routinely scorned, what should the church's posture be? Should Christians adjust the gospel, remodel our message, and bring our statements of faith more in line with the world's thinking? To ask that question is to answer it. But in case the answer isn't clear, these superbly-written essays spell it out in brilliant detail. I'm grateful for the courage of these men and the clarity of their voices. This is a vitally important volume, sounding all the right notes of passion, warning, instruction, and hope."--Phil Johnson, Executive Director of Grace To You
