Apparition & Late Fictions: A Novella and Stories





Heart-rending stories of life and death: a debut fiction collection by the award-winning author of The Undertaking. A Methodist minister gone astray, a grieving trout bum gone fishing with his father’s remains, an artist overwhelmed by incarnate beautyâ€"these are just a few of the iconic yet utterly unique characters in Thomas Lynch’s spirited collection. Set i n Michigan’s north woods, in Ohio’s interior, on islands, in casinos, and in distant cities, these stories are linked by the gone and not forgotten: former spouses, dead parents, and missing children. In pursuit of love and its redemptions, these are pilgrims haunted by memory, dogged by desire, made radiant by romance and its denouements.

With the elegant prose of Frederick Busch and the Irish sensibility of William Trevor, Lynch masterfully creates a world where mirage and apparition are commonplace, where people searching for connection and old comforts find them both near at hand and oddly out of reach.

Then Maureen receives a strange package containing what looks like an ancient letter written in Latin and signed with a symbol. She discovers that its author is an extraordinary woman whom history has overlooked -- or covered up -- Countess Matilda of Tuscany, and in the letter Matilda demands the return of her ""most precious books and documents."" Maureen soon finds herself in a race across Italy and France, where h idden dangers await her and her lover, Berenger, as they begin to realize that they are on the trail of another explosive discovery: the Book of Love, the Gospel written in Jesus' own hand.

A History of Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years





Christianity, one of the world's great religions, has had an incalculable impact on human history. This book, now the most comprehensive and up to date single volume work in English, describes not only the main ideas and personalities of Christian history, its organisation and spirituality, but how it has changed politics, sex, and human society. Diarmaid MacCulloch ranges from Palestine in the fir st century to India in the third, from Damascus to China in the seventh century and from San Francisco to Korea in the twentieth. He is one of the most widely travelled of Christian historians and conveys a sense of place as arrestingly as he does the power of ideas. He presents the development of Christian history differently from any of his predecessors. He shows how, after a semblance of unity in its earliest centuries, the Christian church divided during the next 1400 years into three increasingly distanced parts, of which the western Church was by no means always the most important: he observes that at the end of the first eight centuries of Christian history, Baghdad might have seemed a more likely capital for worldwide Christianity than Rome. This is the first truly global history of Christianity.

Tragically, many of these writers are good-looking but chose to work BEHIND the camera instead of acting. Now even that choice of avocation is endangered.

James Baldwin, Writer and Victim

Writers


Image by Tony the Misfit

James Baldwin is buried in Ferncliff Cemetery in Westchester County, New York. He was a personal friend of Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King.

Baldwin wrote about civil rights, the 1960's, homosexuality, religion and many other sometimes controversial issues. He is generally considered underrated because he was an expatriate living in France for many years up until his deat h and because of his homosexuality. For example, he was criticized by Eldridge Cleaver ("Soul on Ice") within the black community and it very negatively impacted his image.

However, many great writers, including Toni Morrison, consider him to be very influential, and he remains a compassionate and thoughtful voice of the 1960's and American culture.

The Writer 2

Writers


Image by Michael Hirst

The 30ft high installation of a giant table and chair which nestles behind Parliament Hill on Hampstead Heath has drawn considerable critical and public acclaim since it was officially unveiled on 22 June this year. Italian artist Giancarlo Neri considers his work The Writer to be a monument to the loneliness of writing and says he was inspired by the atmosphere and literary traditions of the Heath. The sculpture, which was first displayed in Rome, uses six tons of steel, 1,000 pounds of wood, 200 gallons of paint and several hundred nuts and bolts to hold it together.


Question by Ali: Why is it important to examine management from different perspectives?

Why is it important to examine management from different perspectives? What do You gain from this type of examination? Think of other possible perspectives or Metaphors you could use to describe management (e.g., management is a Profession; management means “being in charge”).What does your new Perspective tell you about management that adds to your understanding?




Best answer:

Answer by JQT
Because management can be so full of themselves and forget why they are in that position. Sooner or later power goes into people\'s head and they forget what the business is about. For example, it is really easy for someone sitting in the headquarter of McDonald\'s to forget life of minimum wage people in front of a grill.

Management should periodically look at the business from various perspective, and if they still decide to keep same old way of doing business at least it is an informed decision.

Best wishes.

Me, the Mob, and the Music: One Helluva Ride with Tommy James & The Shondells

Everyone knows the hits -- "Mony Mony," "I Think We\'re Alone Now," "Crimson and Clover," "Crystal Blue Persuasion." They are nuggets of rock and pop history. However, few know the unlikely story of how these hits came to be. Tommy James had been performing locally, in Michigan, in rock bands since the age of 12. Prompted to record a few songs by a local DJ in 1964, Tommy chose an obscurity titled "Hanky Panky," which became a minor local hit that came and went.

Then, in 1966, the record was re-discovered by a Pittsburgh DJ who started playing it on heavy rotation, prompting a tremendous response. Soon, every record mogul in New York was pursuing Tommy and the band. And then an even odder thing happened: every offer but one disappeared, and James found himself in the office of Morris Levy at Roulette Records, where he was handed a pen and ominously promised "one helluva ride." Morris Levy, the legendary "godfather" of the music business , needed a hit and "Hanky Panky" would be his. The song went to #1; James went on to do much more; and Levy continued to reign.

Me, the Mob, and the Music tells the intimate story of the complex and sometimes terrifying relationship between the bright-eyed, sweet-faced blonde musician from the heartland and the big, bombastic, brutal bully from the Bronx, who hustled, cheated, and swindled his way to the top of the music industry. It is also the story of this swaggering, wildly creative era of rock n\' roll when the hits kept coming and payola and the strong arm tactics of the mob were the norm, and what it was like, for better or worse, to be in the middle of it.
