Book Description
Time Bender beschrijft de ontdekkingstocht van een jongeman die wordt meegesleept in een Galactische strijd die zijn weerga niet kent. De mensheid - zo ontdekt hij - bevindt zich in een sleutelpositie om de Kosmische conflicten voor eens en voor altijd op te lossen. De vraag is alleen: worden wij op tijd wakker? 'Ik heb je boek met open mond gelezen. Dit is echt next level.' Karen van Holst-Pellekaan 'Geen woorden die mijn geluksgevoel kunnen beschrijven. Mijn hart bubbelt. Eindelijk antwoorden!' Wilma Grobben 'Wat een ongelofelijk inspirerend verhaal. Mijn hoofd was de hele tijd ja aan het knikken.' Irene Verdoorn 'Op dit boek heb ik gewacht, het geeft op een begrijpelijke en boeiende manier inzicht in waar we vandaan komen.' Jenny Groot 'Ik heb rode ogen van concentratie door het lezen van je boek. Het is zo mooi beschreven. Telkens nieuwe ontdekkingen die mijn hoofd doen duizelen. Het zet alles in een nieuw licht. Zeer bemoedigend.' Adrie van Diepen 'Ik heb Time Bender in één ruk uitgelezen. De herkenning en bevestiging en de moed van jou om dit te delen, zijn van onschatbare waarde.' Angeli Que Pasa 'Dit boek is onbetaalbaar.' Annemarie Burger 'Wow! Het boek sleurde me meteen mee. Wat een onthullingen!' Eline van de Kam 'Ik heb het ademloos en in één ruk uitgelezen.

Henriët Heskamp 'Wat een geweldig boek met prachtige versterkende inzichten die ik juist nu zo hard nodig heb.' Herma Wijnhoud 'Zorgvuldig verzamelde informatie, journalistiek geloofwaardig, meeslepend met een boodschap. Deed me denken aan De Celestijnse Belofte en een vleugje Dan Brown. Een ware hit.'

The Color Master
Author: Aimee Bender
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0385534906
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
The bestselling author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake returns with a wondrous collection of dreamy, strange, and magical stories. Truly beloved by readers and critics alike, Aimee Bender has become known as something of an enchantress whose lush prose is “moving, fanciful, and gorgeously strange” (People), “richly imagined and bittersweet” (Vanity Fair), and “full of provocative ideas” (The Boston Globe). In her deft hands, “relationships and mundane activities take on mythic qualities” (The Wall Street Journal). In this collection, Bender’s unique talents sparkle brilliantly in stories about people searching for connection through love, sex, and family—while navigating the often painful realities of their lives. A traumatic event unfolds when a girl with flowing hair of golden wheat appears in an apple orchard, where a group of people await her. A woman plays out a prostitution fantasy with her husband and finds she cannot go back to her old sex life. An ugly woman marries an ogre and struggles to decide if she should stay with him after he mistakenly eats their children. Two sisters travel deep into Malaysia, where one learns the art of mending tigers who have been ripped to shreds. In these deeply resonant stories—evocative, funny, beautiful, and sad—we see ourselves reflected as if in a funhouse mirror. Aimee Bender has once again proven herself to be among the most imaginative, exciting, and intelligent writers of our time.

The Butterfly Lampshade
Author: Aimee Bender
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0385534884
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
The first novel in ten years from the author of the beloved New York Times bestseller The Particular Sadness Of Lemon Cake, a luminous, poignant tale of a mother, a daughter, mental illness, and the fluctuating barrier between the mind and the world On the night her single mother is taken to a mental hospital after a psychotic episode, eight year-old Francie is staying with her babysitter, waiting to take the train to Los Angeles to go live with her aunt and uncle. There is a lovely lamp next to the couch on which she's sleeping, the shade adorned with butterflies. When she wakes, Francie spies a dead butterfly, exactly matching the ones on the lamp, floating in a glass of water. She drinks it before the babysitter can see. Twenty years later, Francie is compelled to make sense of that moment, and two other incidents -- her discovery of a desiccated beetle from a school paper, and a bouquet of dried roses from some curtains. Her recall is exact -- she is sure these things happened. But despite her certainty, she wrestles with the hold these memories maintain over her, and what they say about her own place in the world. As Francie conjures her past and reduces her engagement with the world to a bare minimum, she begins to question her relationship to reality. The scenes set in Francie's past glow with the intensity of childhood perception, how physical objects can take on an otherworldly power. The question for Francie is, What do these events signify? And does this power survive childhood? Told in the lush, lilting prose that led the San Francisco Chronicle to say Aimee Bender is "a writer who makes you grateful for the very existence of language," The Butterfly Lampshade is a heartfelt and heartbreaking examination of the sometimes overwhelming power of the material world, and a broken love between mother and child.

Chronotypes
Author: John B. Bender
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780804719124
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Time belongs to a handful of categories (like form, symbol, cause) that are genuinely transdisciplinary. Time touches every dimension of our being, every object of our attention -- including attention itself. It therefore can belong to no single field of study. Of course, this universalist view of time is not itself universal but rather is a product of the modern age, an age that conceived of itself as the "new" time. Time has thus gained new importance as a theme of general research with the "post-modern turn" now manifest in many areas of intellectual endeavor, especially in the humanities and social sciences. "Chronotypes" are models or patterns through which time assumes practical or conceptual significance. Time is not given but (as the subtitle indicates) fabricated in an ongoing process. Chronotypes are themselves temporal and plural, constantly being made and remade at multiple individual, social, and cultural levels. They interact, they change over time, and they have histories, whose construal is itself an act of temporal construction. This book -- an interdisciplinary collaboration of philosophers, historians, literary critics, and anthropologists -- examines the ways individuals, societies, and cultures make sense of time by constructing it in diverse patterns.

An adult LEGO fan's dual quest: to build with bricks and build a family There are 62 LEGO bricks for every person in the world, and at age 30, Jonathan Bender realized that he didn't have a single one of them.
