Book Description
Mindful Survival By: Holbrook Breckenridge The work at hand encompasses a lifetime of effort along a twisting road to self-liberation. It proves to be a masterful design that enhances more than ever how a flower can and does grow through a crack in the sidewalk and how perseverance is the epitome of drive. The balance within this book is brought about through the author’s personal conflicts, alone time to process, and, finally, his constant drive to bring about his personal understanding and growth. A truly remarkable work anyone can enjoy for better understanding and strength towards the progression of a better world.

Book Description
The Dark Side of Technology is intended as a powerful wake-up call to the potential dangers that could, in the near future, destroy our current advanced civilizations. The author examines how fragile our dependence on electronic communications, information storage, and satellites is, as vulnerability increases in an age of raising security concerns. This weakness is evident from the exponential rise in cyber-crime and terrorism. Satellites are crucial to modern-day living, but they can be destroyed by energetic space debris or damaged by solar emissions. Destruction of data, communications, and electrical power grids would bring disaster to advanced nations. Such events could dramatically change our social and economic landscapes within the next 10-20 years. New technology equally impacts employment, agriculture, biology, medicine, transport, languages, and our social well-being. This book explores both the good and the bad aspects of technological advances, in order to raise awareness and promote caution. Technology may be impressive, but we need to be mindful of potential negative future effects. We ought to seriously consider the long term consequences of an increasing failure to pursue healthy life styles, use of ineffective antibiotics, genetic mutations, and the destruction of food supplies and natural resources. The diverse topics covered aims to show why we must act now to plan for both the predictable downsides of technology, and also develop contingency plans for potential major catastrophes, including natural events where we cannot define accurate time scales.

Book Description
Every Christian, who tries to lead a life seriously committed to their Gospel principles in this postmodern world, finds it hard to survive the day-to-day life and move in the midst of the postmodern crowds and to continue to have ones being in the invisible resurrected Lord. Survival of a sincere Christian is in question in this fast-paced life. This books contents would support these disciples of Jesus to carry on daily this august spiritual exercise. When this spiritual exercise of meditating on the Word of God is being performed, they certainly will reach Gods presence within them. Then they follow their hearing Him, their loving Him, and their saying yes to Him and starts their joyful and contented journey of Christian life, not to survive but to succeed in life. The author writes: The thoughts I share here mostly came out of my daily meditation on the scriptures and of my encounter with Jesus alive. I hope in all honesty that the spiritual doses I offer here will help the reader as meditation for preventing and medication for curing as well. These daily doses will support the reader in coming out of the gloomy and cloudy days of the past and in marching on smilingly and boldly to a new heaven and new earth in celebrating ones today as the day of the Lord.

Book Description
The Art of Survival: Depictions of Zimbabwe and the Zimbabwean in Crisis offers a fresh, interdisciplinary examination of a period against which development in Zimbabwe is often measured, one epitomized by the severe shortages and runaway inflation of 2008. While journalistic stories of the 1998–2008 era often privilege the reductive stories of woe, defeat and crushed hopes, this volume explores how survival was still possible in those circumstances. The book offers insights into how ordinary Zimbabweans battled the odds by making startling innovations in language use to legitimize new survival strategies, how they weaved new songs and reinterpreted old ones to fight for survival, how social institutions such as churches reinterpreted popular gospel, and how authors, playwrights and dramatists crafted works that acknowledge the unprecedented difficulties and yet find humour, laughter and love in unusual places. This work will appeal to both scholars, who will appreciate the depth of the analysis, and the general reader.

Book Description
From his first appearance as Mork from Ork on the 1970s sitcom Happy Days, Robin Williams was heralded as a singular talent. In the pre-cable television era, he was one of the few performers to successfully transition from TV to film. An Oscar-winning actor and preternaturally quick-witted comedian, Williams became a cultural icon, leaving behind a large and varied body of work when he unexpectedly took his own life in 2014. This collection of new essays brings together a range of perspectives on Williams and his oeuvre, including beloved hits like Mrs. Doubtfire, Good Morning, Vietnam, Good Will Hunting, The Fisher King, Dead Poets Society and Aladdin. Contributors explore his earlier work (Mork and Mindy, The World According to Garp) and his political and satirical films (Moscow on the Hudson, Toys). Williams's darker, less well-known fare, such as Being Human, One Hour Photo, Final Cut and Boulevard, is also covered. Williams's artistry has become woven into the fabric of our global media culture.
