Win-win Negotiation Techniques Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: David Goldwich

Set us falling with your first notes Into a somber mode of thinking Knowing you mean to lift with contrasts Into a sprightlier spirit dance. Then Kettle us with trumpets in the distance Into a quavering of panic, Quell the panic with emerging Hope for equilibrium. Poetry has often been associated with music and vice versa. The rhythms and the soul-wrenching phrases of both media speak so well to the spirit. It is not unusual, then, to find both reflected in one; music described and being used as metaphors in poetic tribute to life. Tony Cosier does just that in his recent book of poetry, The Spirit Dances. The first part of the book is a selection of poems about ordinary living, ordinary life. School Ending and Playing Fields are a series of short poems reflecting common occurrences in one’s early years. The French Teacher is a short verse about a single person and yet, even this poem uses metaphors of music and he ends the poem with: Of lives so clear their every thought is a song. At the end of the book, music takes precedence. Missa Solemnis is five long poems reflecting on the last great work by Ludwig van Beethoven, his monumental Mass in D. The music obviously stirred the poet’s spirit to write such words as: You build the ground for voices And remind us who we listen to. You are the composer of the great symphonies Virtuoso of the instrument. - Sanctus Trumpetblare drumburst Strings in a frantic wave Heave and roll with a flurry of voices, Break in a lasting Gloria. - Gloria Beethoven’s music spoke to Cosier and he responded in verse. What was intended to be a short poem to praise this final masterpiece, became in over twenty pages (in five parts) a fitting tribute to a music and a composer who continues to touch the spirit of so many people. Music and poetry. Poetry and music. One and the same. Not one without the other. The Spirit Dances reflects on life and how music is such a vital part of living. In praise of the human spirit, Cosier reflects on how life and music merge as one in his poetry. Reviewed by award-winning author, Emily-Jane Hills orford

Treacherous Tango by E. Ryan Hale starts off in the courtroom at a trial where you meet some of the key players, including Aidan Wolf and Jenna Jacobs. You’ll want to pay attention to the trial and everyone involved because nothing is frivolous in this fast moving thriller. Hale weaves a story that is indeed a tango with intricate moves and enough twirls to keep you guessing as to the killer. This tango is a fast-paced dance. Hale keeps this story moving by bringing in a compelling second thread. Emilio and Ana Ortiz and their children, including their newborn Jenna. Their lives and the family are being torn apart by a system that seems to work on stereotypes instead of finding out the truth. But it is the strange and ominous threats that have everyone on edge. They start off as warnings, then get darker and more direct. Then they become dangerous and personal. And the heroes are not necessarily who you would have expected. Hale is good at keeping the characters true to their personalities and not letting them off easy. At times I wanted to whack a character upside the head, but he was being himself rather than omniscient, like the reader. There are books where you can feel the author pushing a character to change or see the light, but E. Ryan Hale lets her characters show their true selves.

Đã Biết Tương Tư Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhà Số 5

This is short Japanese fiction at some of its finest. The book doesn't really have much of a plot, which is what kept me from giving it five stars, but the rest is pure gold. The English translation is well-done, and has some beautiful moments of description. It says a lot with a little, and opens up wide avenues for discussion. The characters, and the novel as a whole, are rather fatalistic from the start. It is obvious that they easily confuse the ideas of honor and glory with death, a mistake made by many cultures throughout history. Yet it seems especially poignant here, in post war Japan, where Noboru in his innocent child-like way sees that this might be his last chance to truly be free by committing violence before he can be tried as an adult. I cannot dismiss the notion that he is merely an allegory for the whole country of pre-war Japan itself - one that on the verge of maturation into adulthood on the world stage, coming fresh out of the isolationism of its youth, is compelled to assert its power over its unsuspecting neighbors. He becomes totally unsympathetic, especially in how he adores the Chief, hanging on every word and believing it unflinchingly, even when the Chief immediately contradicts himself (from page 162-163): We all know that the world is empty and that the important thing, the only thing, is to try to maintain order in that emptiness. This rings hollow. And Noboru's acceptance of it without bothering to think for himself conjures up the image of the televangelist: heard and seen, but never really listened to by the accepting masses. Of course, we can no more feel pity for Ryuji, as from the beginning he sees in domestication the end of all things. Thus the conflict of the novel - in truth, all its substance - comes from the intersection of these forces, opposed as we might expect, aligned in ways we dared not imagine.

This book was a load of fun. A LOAD. The blending of steampunk, knights, magick, vampyres and other supernatural critters just flat out worked. The mystery of what the vampyres were working toward, the flashes of magick, the rigid social lines that both Caroline and Merrick were trying not to cross and the five gifted children that tied it all together made for a sassy, spunky, well-crafted world with surprises hiding around every corner. First off, I loved the children. They each had their own strengths and they all looked out for one another. They had made themselves into a family even though they weren't all related by blood. That becomes a sort of theme as Caroline begins to view them as more than just her charges and Merrick takes them under his wing despite his occasional misgivings. When one of them is threatened, they all rush in to help - from the adults right on down to their clockwork dog. Caroline is initially reluctant to get involved with Merrick's household. She's been treated badly by other male employers and she has no desire to go down that road again. Once she gets steamrolled (haha! I said steamrolled and I'm talking about a steampunk book! I love it when words come together like that!) into helping Merrick and the children, she finds that all of them get under her skin and into her heart. Merrick's desire to do the right thing, both for the children and for Caroline, makes him a sweet, chivalrous hero. The fact that he's a hunky knight with a handful of magick doesn't hurt him in the least. This book pretty much hit the spot for me on every level. It was sexy, clockwork-y, violent and sweet. All at once. And that's a nice combination. -Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal

Anh Ấy Đến Rồi, Em Ngừng Nhớ Anh Thôi Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lai Ka

Hmmmm. Very entertaining, and VERY well-acted but I think I find classic comedies frustrating. Someone please explain how they translate from French to English and still make stuff pretty-much rhyme. Who thinks this fact, from Wikipedia, is ironic? "Molière, who suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis, was seized by a coughing fit and a haemorrhage while playing the hypochondriac Argan. He finished the performance but collapsed again and died a few hours later."

I couldn't have read this book at a better moment. I've been fixated, lately, on how we represent memory. The Body Artist addresses memory, time, and grief in compelling ways.

I liked this a lot when I read it, but Byatt's obsession with epistemology and academic bickering seems petty and uninteresting in retrospect. I'm not sure I'd want to reread it.
