Описание: From the celebrated Ursula K. Le Guin, a writer of enormous intelligence and wit, a master storyteller (Boston Globe), the revised and updated edition of her classic guide to the essentials of a writer's craft.
Completely revised and rewritten to address modern challenges and opportunities, this handbook is a short, deceptively simple guide to the craft of writing.
Le Guin lays out ten chapters that address the most fundamental components of narrative, from the sound of language to sentence construction to point of view. Each chapter combines illustrative examples from the global canon with Le Guin's own witty commentary and an exercise that the writer can do solo or in a group. She also offers a comprehensive guide to working in writing groups, both actual and online.
Masterly and concise, Steering the Craft deserves a place on every writer's shelf.

Описание: - Is it acceptable for a non-profit organization to direct the first million dollars it collects to the pockets of its CEO?
- Do well-connected corporations and universities respect justice and strive to make the world better for everyone?
- Should government serve the population or exploit it to benefit the powerful?
'Sustenance Through Starvation' is satire-but only if Franz Kafka wrote satire. It is fiction-but only if George Orwell wrote fiction. Judge for yourself.
Gwendolyn is a student at Stambridge University, and all she wants to do with her life is help people. As the daughter of the man in control of the world's most powerful charity, she is positioned perfectly for her wishes.
Travel with her through this wildly absurd story as Gwendolyn meets some of the richest and most selfless individuals in the world-and their polar opposites.
Lift the veil on the self-dealings of your trusted elites as the girl grapples with the challenge of growing up and finding her rightful place in this rarefied world.
Struggle with Gwendolyn as she endures heartbreaking tragedy and commits herself to decrypting the rituals of the Gordian knot of deception woven by the mongers of morality within charity, government, big business, and the modern university.
This deeply satirical take on the world of the privileged is a serious and thought-provoking book, packed with facts and surreal extrapolations that form a cautionary tale for our time. Future archaeologists of the communal psyche will study this novel for its illumination of disturbing realities occluded from our perception by our own good nature.
If you do not laugh as you read, check your intellect. If you do not cry, worry about your humanity. Ask yourself as you follow Gwendolyn's story: Yes, you care, but how different are you? And what will you do to change this world?

You might be a believer, but do you struggle to believe God really will do what He has promised. God tells us, "All things are possible to those that believe."Do you have more in common with doubting Thomas than King David or Mary? You love God, dream big and work hard to put life into the vision that thrills your heart. You know God CAN do it. But will He? And through YOU?Internally you scream "What If?", or prayerfully wish "If Only " Whatever happens, "Even If" disappointment and delay interrupts your journey, author Gill Bentham convinces you that the tests are worthwhile. She reveals a powerful truth: When you live "As If" your dream has already happened, it is yours
Life coach Gill, gently teaches through the ancient character Jacob, a meandering canal cruise metaphor and her own anecdotes and observations. You will recognise a far deeper goal than the lure of fulfilment. Simply put, your aspirations are unattainable until you desire them less than the One who put them within you.
In this book, you will learn the unforced rhythms of grace as you:
Master the deceptive power of reason, emotion and will
Embrace the transforming power of weakness, brokenness and loss
Relax into deep assurance of your value, potential and calling
Stand fully confident, as His unique choice for your appointed time
This is a truly imaginative Pilgrims Progress birthed at the turn of the millennium for every twenty-first century believer who is weary of the superficiality of spiritual platitudes and sickly-sweet recipes for success.

On the afternoon of November 22, 1963, a nineteen-year-old Buell Wesley Frazier was thrown up against the wall by two detectives and escorted to Dallas Police Station. His coworker and sometimes passenger to and from work Lee Harvey Oswald was the presumed assassin of President John F. Kennedy and Officer J. D. Tippit. It didn't take Buell long to figure out that he was presumed guilty by association.
Buell was afraid for himself and his family. Years of emotional pain built up. He had long forgotten how to trust people. He became resentful of the police force, and he doubted whether he would be ever to hold his head up in public and see people who believed his story.
In the early nineties, Buell's life was changed forever when he met a man who would become his best friend and confidant. Over the years, Buell emerged from the shadows and slowly found the peace and self-confidence he had longed to have. At the request of some friends, he began to talk to the public. From panel discussions to classrooms, Buell was surprised to learn that there were people who not only wanted to hear his story believed him too
This turn of events caused a paradigm shift in the way Buell saw himself. As a result, he became inspired by those people to write his complete story. For the first time in fifty years, he welcomes you to be a passenger on this road trip to learn how hard work, perseverance, self-belief, and resiliency became the pillars that supported the long transition of the boy he was to the man he became.
