Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Poems about the people, lifestyle, thoughts and feelings at that time in my life.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - There is a massive amount of historical information available about Marian Anderson in over twenty biographies, her extensive personal papers at the University of Pennsylvania Library, the National Marian Anderson Historical Society's Residence Museum, various PBS documentaries, the Smithsonian Institute, the Internet and undocumented verbal stories that have circulated in her home town of Philadelphia for years. Researching her long 96-year life was an exciting privilege, but time-consuming. Those who may remember Marian Anderson as simply a 'great singer,' are probably missing 90% of what this trailblazing humanitarian's contribution to our society really accomplished. Readers of this condensed chronological compilation can now more quickly realize, and learn to appreciate, the teachable lessons of Marian Anderson's well-lived long life---possibly in just one or two sittings, stimulating further future study of her from the above sources and the list of books included in the Appendix. At one time the press consistently covered Marian Anderson and she was written into history books, but that is no more. If students do not learn about her and people don't talk about her, they forget.Through a series of events, in March of 2019, I discovered the National Marian Anderson Historic Society that is headquartered in the Anderson Family's home, that is now an official historic residence museum, in my hometown of Philadelphia. It took me a few more visits to begin to absorb what is there. After each visit, I left with mixed feelings of awe, newfound respect, and embarrassment. How could I, having lived in Philadelphia for so long---not far from the very home Marian Anderson purchased in 1924, now a museum---in a neighborhood I went through frequently, have absolutely no idea that I was passing in the vicinity of such greatness After reading Marian Anderson's autobiography, my hunger to know more lead me to discover over twenty other biographies from excellent books for school children up to several well-researched works by distinguished scholars. It is with the latter academic group that I have principally drawn on to compile and condense the information presented in this book, along with additional expert creditable eyewitness sources not previously publicly disclosed.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Ashley Fisher was born with extraordinary physical and mental powers. She can move with lightning speed and she can think as fast.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book of poetry is about transitions and duality. The book sails along the usually dim boundary between the conscious and unconscious. It harbors along the way at surrealism, Zen Buddhism, transgender/LGBT issues, animal rights/ethology, naturalism, racism, dialectics, and dualism. The author is an analytically trained, psycho- dynamic, and practicing psychologist. While as a practitioner, she discretely challenges the tradition of therapist as blank slate, as a poet she openly celebrates the beauty of full disclosure, the inspiration of mystery, and the delectability of the undefinable One. Suffering is inevitable but, also electable, as the second arrow strikes. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This is a storybook collection of twenty-two anecdotes reflecting the memories throughout the life of a ninety-eight-year-old Christian gentleman.

And five of the stories deal with association with the rich and famous in actor Ray Bolger, President Harry Truman, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, news anchor Bill Moyers, and comedian/actor Bob Hope, to name a few.
