William Faulkner (Critical Lives) By Kirk Curnutt
2018 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 178023998X | PDF | 17 MB
William Faulkner examines the life and work of the American modernist whose experiments in style and form radically challenged not only the experience of time in narrative, but also conceptions of the American South, race, and the explosive fear of miscegenation. Beginning with the 1929 publication of The Sound and the Fury (his fourth novel), Faulkner produced a dazzling series of masterpieces in rapid order, including As I Lay Dying; Sanctuary; Light in August; Absalom, Absalom!; and Go Down, Moses-novels and stories that alternately exhilarated and exasperated critics and left readers gasping to keep pace with his storytelling innovations. Transforming his hometown of Oxford, Mississippi, into the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Faulkner created his own microcosm in which compassion and personal honor struggle to stand up to the violence, lust, and greed of the modern world. As prolific as Faulkner was, however, the career of this Nobel laureate was neither easy nor carefree. He was perpetually strapped for cash, burdened with supporting a large extended family, ambivalent toward his marriage, and vulnerable to alcoholism. Honoring both the man and the artist, this book examines how Faulkner strained to balance these pressures and pursue his literary vision with single-minded determination.

Shelly Blank, "White As Snow: Conquering Sexual Abuse and Adultery Through Christ"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 1449733255, 1449733263 | EPUB | pages: 132 | 0.1 mb
White as Snow. Can a person truly experience freedom from the guilt and shame left in the wake of sexual abuse and adultery? Can women and men alike be free to talk about these topics without the need to hide or cover up the truth? Can we come to grips with the definition of a "wolf" as Jesus defined it? White as Snow: Recovering from Sexual Abuse and Adultery is a relevant, open, and honest look at the effects of abuse from both perspectives of the abused and abuser, and how it is possible that God redeems and offers freedom to both. Women who have been sexually abused and/or have committed adultery desperately need to hear from other women who have not only survived these circumstances but experienced miraculous healing. Here is a woman who understands. This book provides an open door for small-group discussion and healing through fellowship with other survivors.

Debby Schriver, "Whispering in the Daylight: The Children of Tony Alamo Christian Ministries and Their Journey to Freedom"
English | ISBN: 1621903869 | 2018 | 332 pages | PDF | 7 MB
Beginning in the 1960s in California, erstwhile music producer Tony Alamo became interested in authoritarian religion and, along with his charismatic wife, Susan, began gathering followers. By the 1970s, Tony Alamo Christian Ministries had established particularly strong footholds in Arkansas, as well as maintaining outposts in California. The ministry gained a legion of followers, with branches not only in the USA but in places as diverse as Africa and Sri Lanka. Even through their leader's eventual imprisonment under federal charges (related to transporting minors across state lines for sexual purposes), Alamo's vision survived-and his community survives him today.

John Urry, "What is the Future?"
English | ISBN: 0745696546 | 2016 | 232 pages | PDF | 13 MB
Thinking about the future is essential for almost all organizations and societies. States, corporations, universities, cities, NGOs and individuals believe they cannot miss the future. But what exactly is the future? It remains a mystery perhaps the greatest mystery, especially because futures are unpredictable and often unknowable, the outcome of many factors, known and unknown. The future is rarely a simple extrapolation from the present.
