(Το παράδειγμα αυτό προσφέρεται ως παράθεμα στα πλαίσια ενός ευρύτερου άρθρου μου για το θέμα της διασποράς, υπό δημοσίευση.)
Εμπειρικές μελέτες καταδεικνύουν ότι η διασπορά αποτελεί ένα ετερογενές κοινωνικό πεδίο. Αναγνωρίζεται σαν ένα πεδίο δράσης όπου οι ταυτότητες δημιουργούνται σε συνάρτηση με διάφορες (ταξικές, έμφυλες, πολιτιστικές) συνιστώσες. Στην μεθόριο των απεργιακών κινητοποιήσεων στην Αμερικανική Δύση στις αρχές του εικοστού αιώνα για παράδειγμα, βιομηχανικοί μετανάστες-εργάτες από την νοτιοανατολική Ευρώπη βιώνουν την καπιταλιστική εκμετάλλευση στο μεδούλι τους και μυούνται στην ιδεολογία του ταξικού αγώνα, επιτελώντας την μετάβαση από τον αγροτικό γενέθλιο χώρο στην Αμερικανική βιομηχανική νεοτερικότητα. Γίνονται Αμερικανοί με ένα συγκριμένο τρόπο: συναντούν και υιοθετούν τις αρχές και πρακτικές του Αμερικανικού εργατικού κινήματος. Μαθαίνουν να αγαπούν το μπέιζμπολ. Αλλάζουν κάποιες προγονικές συνήθειες ενώ διατηρούν άλλες. Έλληνες μετανάστες εργάτες αναγνωρίζουν αυτές τις μεταβάσεις, και διαμορφώνονται ως Ελληνοαμερικανοί, το οποίο και δηλώνουν (1).
Ταυτόχρονα, Έλληνες μετανάστες επιχειρηματίες της ίδιας περιόδου παίρνουν αποστάσεις από την εργατικά προσδιορισμένη Ελληνοαμερικανική ταυτότητα, και την στιγματίζουν δημόσια. Ακολουθούν ένα εναλλακτικό μοντέλο Αμερικανοποίησης, αυτό της μεσαίας τάξης, που έρχεται σε άμεση σύγκρουση με τα συμφέροντα των εργατών. Σε μία περίοδο όταν οι συνδυαστικές ταυτότητες που ευθέως ανακαλούν την χώρα καταγωγής των μεταναστών (Greek American) θεωρούνται ένδειξη αντιαμερικανισμού, ένα τμήμα της μεσοαστικής τάξης δημιουργεί μια νέα ταυτότητα (American Hellenic) που θέτει σαν κυρίαρχο σημείο διασπορικής ταύτισης την αρχαία Ελλάδα, η οποία αποτελεί και Αμερικανικό ιδεώδες. Τονίζουν έτσι την συμβατότητα του Ελληνικού και του Αμερικανικού σύμφωνα με τις επιταγές του κυρίαρχου αφηγήματος της αφομοίωσης και τα μετασχηματιστικά πλέγματα εξουσίας που θέτει σε κίνηση.
Το παραπάνω παράδειγμα απεικονίζει εμπειρικά δύο συσχετιζόμενες διαδικασίες: (1) Η διασπορά συνδέεται με την δημιουργία νέων ταυτοτήτων σε διαπραγμάτευση με ιστορικά προσδιορισμένες ζώνες επαφής.
(2) Η παραπάνω επιτέλεση δεν πραγματοποιείται με τον ίδιο τρόπο για το σύνολο της διασποράς. Οι νέες ταυτότητες διαμεσολαβούνται από την ταξική θέση των εμπλεκομένων καθώς και τα όρια ταύτισης που επιτρέπουν κυρίαρχα αφηγήματα στην χώρα υποδοχής. Το Αμερικανικό εργατικό κίνημα και η πίεση για ολική αφομοίωση προσδιορίζουν αντίστοιχα την δημιουργία δύο τουλάχιστον αναδυομένων και αντιμαχόμενων ελληνικών ταυτοτήτων κατά την ιστορική περίοδο που αναφέρθηκα και μέσω των πλεγμάτων εξουσίας που την διαπερνούν. Η εσωτερική διαφοροποίηση είναι το σαφές αποτέλεσμα.
Να θέσω αυτές τις διαδικασίες σε ευρύτερο πλαίσιο: η ταξική, έμφυλη, σεξουαλική και άλλες πολιτικές θέσεις διασπορικών υποκειμένων οδηγούν σε διαφορετικές συνδυαστικές ταυτότητες συμβάλλοντας σε περαιτέρω εσωτερική διαφοροποίηση και ιδεολογικά ρήγματα μέσα στους κόλπους της διασποράς. Η μεθοριακή κατάσταση καθιστά την διασπορά όχι με όρους ομογένειας αλλά όρους ετερογένειας.

“Years in the village. My father in America. Not sharing the mornings, the mountains, / the rose bush, the air. Moving past the yellow hills, the blue, the almond blossoms, / separately, in separate countries.” Written by Tryfon Tolides, an award-winning poet, the narrative verses above evoke the fragmentation of a family that immigration may bring about. The father is no longer present in the everyday routines of the family. Not being a part of village life and the surrounding landscape either, his absence looms large. His separation creates a void. He is nowhere to be seen in the midst of rose bush, the yellow hills, and in the background of the blue. His departure creates a drab emptiness, which the poet contrasts dramatically with a landscape filled with colors.
Immigration deeply affects individuals and families, those who leave and those who stay behind. It is an experience of new beginnings, difficult adjustments, filled with longing and anticipation. It is about growing roots as well as building institutions. For the American-born sons and daughters of immigrants, life also presents various challenges. Navigating two worlds, two languages, and two cultures is a common experience for the second generation. Immigration and ethnicity entail complex, often life-defining experiences. Not surprisingly, individuals, like Tolides, often resort to poetry, literature, film, photography, and scholarship to tell their stories, to make sense of the experience, to share it with others, to document it.
In order to convey this literary and cultural experience of immigration and diaspora, I launched almost a year ago, in October 2017, Ergon: Greek/American Arts and Letters, an online, free access journal. I wanted to share with readers news about and analysis of the latest documentaries, films, museum exhibits, or books about Greek America. I invited authors, photographers, and scholars to tell their stories. I encouraged scholars to write about the political and cultural relations between the United States and Greece. I wrote about available archives and shared information about resources where readers can learn about Greek American history and culture.
Ergon is a forum that brings together poetry, literature, interviews, film, photography, book reviews and scholarly analysis written in a manner that is accessible to non-academic audiences. Because this kind of venue was absent, I felt it was my responsibility as an educator to create one so that I could make this knowledge available to the public.
The narratives we tell about Greek America have been proliferating. New documentaries, novels, and films are produced, both in the United States and Greek, sometimes earning prestigious international awards. The novel Dendrites (2015), for instance, a story written in Greek about two generations of a Greek American family in Camden, NJ, received the 2017 European Union Prize of Literature. The film Brides (2004), a compelling visual narration of the phenomenon of early twentieth century arranged marriages between Greece and the United States, won the first prize in the Greek State Film Awards. Ergon informs the public about the availability of these narratives and offers perspectives for understanding their significance.
Ergon is a labor of love. It has received grants by OSU’s Humanities and the Arts Discovery Theme, and the Modern Greek Studies Association (MGSA). Several individual donors have also contributed financially. These valuable gifts cover the cost associated with editing, copy editing, and website maintenance, making the operation of the journal possible. For this I am grateful.
What makes a community? What are the informal practices, building of institutions, rituals, history, memories, commemorations, words, gatherings, gestures that bring about the sense of sharing and belonging that the notion of community entails? In this writing I reflect on the idea and a reality of the U.S. Greek Orthodox community. What makes a Greek Orthodox community beyond the obvious connecting thread of faith? My point of departure is the following tribute to a person recently lost to a local parish in Columbus, Ohio: “Mike moved his family to Columbus from Youngstown (Campbell) ... . He had a prolific career and was well respected by his peers. And for me, Mike embodied the Youngstown mentality I have known my entire life of a strong work ethic, always giving back to our local community and our church, a passion for maintaining a strong Greek culture, and most importantly the love of family and so many friends. But it is his work with the Columbus Greek Orthodox church and Greek Olympic Society, where we learned how passionate he was about sustaining a Hellenic community in central Ohio. Mike truly provided powerful leadership in shaping the direction of our small Greek community from the 1980’s to become the largest church community in our diocese. He spent countless hours with me and our Greek Olympic board members guiding us to choose wisely with our donations for causes locally and internationally and even donating to individuals in an effort to make a difference in their lives. Mike’s honesty, integrity, humor, witty comebacks, laughter, kindness, compassion for others, work ethic and his drive to do the ‘right thing’ even in times of adversity will forever remain in my heart.” (from the Greek Olympic Society Facebook site) These words of praise speak to a particular Greek American ethos: the propensity to work tirelessly for building a community and advancing its interests. The venue of commitment to the community in an educational and cultural organization, namely The Greek Olympic Society, which is attached to the parish and its organizational structure (http://www.greekolympicsociety.org/). The aforementioned ethos is recognized as pervasive feature and fixture to a particular locality. But it extends its operation elsewhere, the midwestern city of Columbus, Ohio, pointing to a wider regional resonance. In the Midwest where I live I have been witnessing for many years the many practices that materialize this Greek American world: the volunteering of professional work (architecture, art, cooking expertise) among parishioners toward building–literally and metaphorically–community life; writing for the community's magazine and funding its publication (see, https://immigrations-ethnicities-racial.blogspot.com/2016/02/writing-about-community-publication.html); grass-roots volunteering in festivals, language schools, religious and heritage organizations; acts of charity and cultural philanthropy such as supporting University Modern Greek Studies Programs. Notably, this is work regularly performed as a labor of love, mostly undertaken without fanfare, with no expectation of formal recognition. It speaks to a wider historical trajectory: the commitment to an institution, the parish, that historically has functioned not merely as a place of worship, but as a place enabling all sorts of social relations, including, significantly, that of mutual support. It speaks to a deep consciousness that this community matters, a consciousness translated into real involvement. The power of this ethos is that it is enacted concretely and materially, in countless everyday micro-practices, which also include professional and social support to young people. It is through these social practices that many parishioners and their children experience ethnicity in the United States, in all its cultural expressivity (food, dance, social intimacy) as well as social and economic benefits. Beyond its obvious religious implications, the meaning of being Greek Orthodox in Greek America is shaped through participation in numerous family, social, and professional networks, which often overlap and reinforce each other. I am not idealizing community here. Authors and scholars have documented the community’s fault lines, points of rupture, disagreement, exclusion, even outright conflict and fragmentation. But I feel it is necessary to point out the operation of an ethos that we cannot afford to ignore if we wish to understand “community” making, and ethnoreligious reproduction in Greek America. The commemorative tribute above contributes an answer toward a broader question. How is community produced? And what kind of community is constructed and lived? Community in this sense entails the collective recognition of a person’s habitual commitment to an array of virtues–hard work, “giving back” to the community, heritage preservation, faith, family and enduring friendships. These are the normative values offered as a template to be emulated. They are the symbolic boundaries around which the parish constructs itself. Offering a definitive answer to the question of community, the tribute raises several others. What is the “right thing” to do as a Greek Orthodox? How is this negotiated and decided within community politics? How is it practiced? (see, https://ergon.scienzine.com/article/articles/do-the-right-thing) Ethnographers and sociologists are best positioned to explore this terrain. But authors and filmmakers also engage with these questions. I will pursue this subject in future postings, discussing the insights they offer and the vision of a community that they project.

This summer I decided to devote time into putting some order to the pool of Greek American articles, magazines, newsletters, pamphlets, posters, postcards, photographs, brochures, newspapers, community publications, catalogues, LPs, CDs, letters, announcements, and notes I have been accumulating through decades of research. This personal archive of largely public documents covers the recent past between the early 1990s, when I started graduate work, up to 2010 or so, when I started e-filing most of the relevant resources.
The sheer immensity of sorting through pile after pile of paper dwarfs me. Even this relatively small-scale archive looms as an overwhelming task. It does not help that I have no training as an archivist. I cannot devote myself full-time to this ordering either, as summertime is the time of the year calling for reading and writing.
The site provides motivation and meaning in turning a journey of private collecting into an act of public sharing. It is fulfilling to know that I contribute, albeit in a tiny way, to a larger archival project gaining momentum in Greek America.
Numerous archival initiatives, some funded by international foundations, others by prestigious national organizations, and some by local communities, are in full swing in Greek America. This institutional recognition of the value of the archive and the willingness to invest resources for digitizing it is gaining momentum, expanding and enhancing its public visibility. It preciously adds to the vast–and largely underresearched–available archive (www.mgsa.org/Resources/gkam.html).
Sorting through my documents has been far from a mechanical enterprise of neat arrangements. Like any archaeological excavation my delving into the disorganized, I admit, microcosm of paper chaos, holds the prospect of exhilarating findings. The randomness in the order in which some documents appear next to each other produce all sorts of delights (but also frustrating realizations). An editorial declaring pride in ethnic success next to an issue of a valuable magazine now defunct, unable to sustain itself. A document whose existence I had forgotten and so relevant to my current writings. Contradictions abound. Serendipity stretches itself in triumph. Unexpected connections call attention out of random juxtapositions.
The excavation of this material proves productive for bringing into fuller view several contours of Greek America, for making discernible some uncommon linkages.
I trace one contour along the lines of several magazines that left a considerable public imprint before receding from public view, morphing into something else, or ceasing to exist.
Another contour is barely perceptible, dotted by fragmented traces of conversations framed by volumes of silence. We know little if anything at all about the reasons why a cultural initiative which incited interest among some failed to animate interest among others, eventually fading away from contemporary concerns.
Yet another contour points to a well-marked line of interests that continues to make headlines in the popular media.
Through the practice of archiving, a seemingly amorphous terrain starts taking shape into a cultural space crisscrossed by identifiable continuities, recognizable shifts, or perceptible ruptures. And still, it feeds the imagination with a multitude of unknown recesses, unexplored areas, unrecognized resonances. Also, other angles and terrains that escape me.
My archive asserts a presence while making visible, alarmingly so, a gaping absence. I am overwhelmed by the realization, once again, that these documents (scattered but available in the public record) remain largely unexamined. For a substantial volume, if not for all, of this cultural network, there is absolutely no analysis; no scholarship; no public discussion. Consequently, there is no understanding of the processes through which certain projects gained prominence while others faded away.
I return home from the office late at night, blanketed with a sense of dejection. Inevitably, or so it seems. Once again, the urgency to animate the archive presses itself.
To animate an archive, like any past, is to infuse it with another life: study it, circulate the findings, identify its contemporary significance, challenge and inspire researchers, contribute to cultural understanding. It is about linking the archive with the making of books, dissertations, articles, essays, reviews, blogs, commentaries, and documentaries that frame and reframe its significance.
Several dedicated archival activists, academics, researchers, and public intellectuals work intensely and intensively as we speak to materialize these linkages.
But it is not a secret, we all in the field of Greek American studies know what is missing. The critical mass of human resources necessary to fill the multiple gaps, to chart the multiplicity of connections in the record is not (yet?) available.
Perhaps this is what defines the experience of doing Greek American studies, a field that finds itself in lack of cultural and material capital. (Relative lack in some quarters, dire lack in others.) Practicing this field cultivates a heightened consciousness of incompleteness, a partiality in tension. On the one hand, the condition of an underresearched archive feeds the feeling of expansive prospects. On the other hand, the reality of resource scarcity, both material and human is limiting. In turn, it drives the urgent obligation to keep cultivating the archive for greater relevance, for the sheer determination not to allow it to wither; not to allow the displacement or silencing of certain histories and knowledges.
And hence the productive tension residing in the coexistence between opening prospects and limiting aspects, offering, for me, an ethical and political purpose that makes the dust of the archive and the thrust of achieving its animation a well worthwhile project.
A pioneer in archive building and museum making, Helen Zeese Papanikolas (1917–2004) never tired of encouraging Greek America to build its archives and make its museums. Late in her life, in fact three years before her passing, she took the opportunity of a talk sponsored by NYC's Greek-American Women's Network to urge Greek New Yorkers to create a museum in the city. The urgent call was made. The response, fifteen years later, still to come...
Are you interested in Greek American history? Do you like reading reviews about the latest documentary or book about the Greek American experience? Or the latest cultural development? Stories about aspects of the experience that have been forgotten?
Are you inclined to read poetry or interviews about Greek American topics? Are you interested in Greek learning?
Transcultural Encounters, Comparative Inquiries: Italian Americans and Greek Americans
This volume contributes to American ethnic and immigration studies by bringing into conversation scholars working in the fields of Italian American and Greek American studies. The aim is to move beyond the “single group approach,” which privileges the study of ethnic singularity, to explore these two groups in relation to each other. We propose to bring into focus cross-cultural interfaces and to inquire comparatively about similarities and differences in cultural representations associated with these two groups.
Our book project contributes to these developments from a particular angle, namely transcultural and comparative scholarship. We are interested in promoting the understanding of Italian Americans and Greek Americans through the study of their interactions and juxtapositions.
Two perspectives organize this volume: First, we are interested in exploring Greek and Italian U.S. transcultural encounters. Italian Americans and Greek Americans have lived in the same neighborhoods, worked in the same workplaces, loved each other, married with each other, participated in labor strikes together. They play music together. Did they find inspiration in each other’s cultural expressions? What do we know about the fields of their interactions? They have certainly been classified under the same rubric as “white ethnics,” Michael Novak’s infamous PIGS (Poles, Italians, Greeks and Slavs), an ideological construction which was pivotal in the identity politics of the 1970s. But how did Italian American and Greek American lives intersect in everyday social life? How did they negotiate their mobility to the suburbs in relation to each other?
Second, we adopt a comparative perspective so that the practices of one ethnic group will illuminate the other, and vice versa. Both groups have built robust religious and various educational institutions. In what ways their adaptations and cultural expressions are similar, and in what ways are they different in specific contexts? How do we account for the similarities and differences? How have they been representing themselves, and in what manner have they negotiated representations of their identities construed by Others? All-in-all, in what ways did Italian American and Greek American histories and experiences converge or diverge?
Taking cues from concepts such as contact zones and borderlands, we are interested in understanding the social dynamic–processes involving negotiation, conflict, cooperation, solidarity, love, cultural exchanges–that have marked these encounters. We are interested in identifying differences, similarities, and intersections across the historical experiences of these groups. We wish to map specific encounters and comparisons to find out what they tell us about American society as a transcultural terrain.
In addition, our proposed book contributes to the fields of transcultural and comparative studies. Our contributors will be reflecting on the practice of transcultural and comparative analysis they employ, and will be generating insights based on that analysis.
This proposed book is multi-disciplinary. It features scholarship from the perspectives of architecture, ethnomusicology, education, history, cultural and literary studies, film studies as well as whiteness studies. It examines the production of ethnicity in the context of American political culture as well as popular culture, both visual (Kojak, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Moonstruck) and “low brow” crime fiction (Domenic Stansberry and George Pelecanos). It includes analysis of literature (Annie Liontas/Paola Corso; Elia Kazan, Eleni Sikelianos, Jeffrey Eugenides/Gay Talese, Gregory Corso, John Fante). It involves comparative work on religious architecture, transoceanic circulation of racialized categories (Australia, United States), translocal interconnections (Newark, NJ), the formation of pan-Mediterranean identities, and the making of the immigrant past in documentaries from Italian and Greek filmmakers. Although there have been a couple of books comparing European American ethnic and immigrant groups, notably in labor history and literature, this volume is the first of its kind, as far we can tell, for initiating a multidisciplinary transcultural and comparative study across European Americans. This book then brings to the fore nationally recognized cultural texts, authors and artistic expression as well as lesser known texts and histories that mostly circulate in ethnic and diaspora contexts. Brought in transcultural relation and juxtaposition to each other, both visible and less visible cultural products widen our understanding of Italian and Greek ethnicities and the ways in which they negotiate their cultural presence in American culture via self-representation and engage with representations of their identity by Others. Written in a non-specialized language accessible to the general public, Transcultural Encounters, Comparative Inquiries: Italian Americans and Greek Americans is a book of interest to a wide range of publics: scholars in various academic fields, including American studies, ethnic studies, and diaspora studies. It will speak to Greek Americans and Italian Americans. It will also resonate with readers in Greece and Italy, who are increasingly interested in their diasporas. The book helps imagine new College courses in intra-ethnic European Americans, and new trajectories in European American scholarship. It is positioned to serve as a reference point in future discussion of transcultural and comparative ethnic studies.
This conversation is necessary for several reasons, one certainly in the context of a wider academic discourse that often tends to undervalue the study of European Americans. Seen as tenuously holding on to surface identities and largely assimilated into “whiteness,” Italian Americans and Greek Americans have been marginalized by a significant thread in the American academy. Italian American and Greek American studies have certainly been effective, the former more so than the latter, in bringing into focus the vibrant cultural production of their respective ethnic groups. Indeed, one might speak about a proliferation of research on food, community history, diaspora affiliations, transnational connections, literature and popular culture among others. Scholars have responded to the devaluation of their subject matter by performing its value. They bring to the fore the arts, cultural expressivity, and histories of these two groups, demonstrating how Italian and Greek American ethnicities keep shaping American society and their respective historical homelands.
This is rarely practiced in the scholarship of European Americans. We seek, as we mentioned, to initiate a broader conversation that moves beyond seeing ethnicity as singularity. In this move we come closer to ethnographic and historical realities where immigrants and individuals with hyphenated identities do not live insular lives, or negotiate solely in relation with American culture. They interact, collaborate, clash, and affiliate with each other in various modes and degrees. This fertile transcultural field merits that we place it at the center of analysis. The aim is to illuminate new and unexpected facets of Greek- and Italian ethnicity in the United States.

One of the greatest figures in art during and before World War II was Alastair Borthwick. His fame originally began at his publication of Always a Little Further, but many who have heard of this book lack full picture of Alastair Borthwick’s genius.
Born in Scotland, Alastair Borthwick’s writing career began in Glasgow. At only 16, he left high school and began to work for a living. Although he had no specialization in the type of writing he was doing, Alastair Borthwick still managed to make a decent living for himself through his writing, and this pushed him to wonder not only what the world of writing could offer him, but what he could offer to the world of writing.
This, Borthwick had asserted in his lifetime, was the true reason to live. Not only to benefit oneself, but to contribute to the universe in some shape or form. Alastair Borthwick lived by this principle. Though his work began with often little more than editing, Borthwick quickly sailed through the ranks of the system, having such an affluent wealth of knowledge in writing.
Alastair Borthwick began to write in reflection of his life experiences in his young age. These self-narratives were, in a sense, the seeds of his literary career. It was through the act of reflecting on his life that Alastair Borthwick learned to derive pleasure from his writings. Alastair Borthwick took this feeling and ran with it. Having just a taste of what it feels like to create something with love and allow the world to read it had him hooked right from the start. Visit This Page to Learn More.
Unsurprisingly, Alastair Borthwick’s passion and drive for literature seemed to rise without ever peaking, constantly growing and growing with every passing day. It is, therefore no surprise to find out that Alastair Borthwick had created not only one, but two novels later to be considered masterpieces: first Always a Little Further, then Sans Peur. I would be hard pressed to find a more deserving person of their own success.
Alastair Borthwick is remembered for the vast number of books that he published. Alastair Borthwick started his career while he was still a little boy. At the age of 16, he had already gained popularity, and he has since then continued to influence the lives of many people. At the beginning of his career, he worked in a media house picking up incoming phone calls from listeners. His excellent command of English, as well as impeccable customer services, attracted many individuals, who always called in to give views about particular issues at hand. His ability to learn fast and acquire skills in the field form his counterparts also impressed his executives, who later promoted him to serve as an editor at the firm.
Alastair Borthwick rose fast in his career, and upon serving as an editor, he was later promoted to take up other prestigious roles in the company. His career continued to flourish over time, and he made a name for himself throughout the broader parts of the globe. His career as a journalist also brought great influence to the lives of many people. Many people have always looked up to him as their role model and the insight he gave them through his writing also motivated them to keep persevering in life.
In his first book, “Always a Little Further,” Borthwick chronicles the extraordinary cast of various working-class characters and their shortcomings & triumphs during a time in which the Scottish grass-roots and hill climbing walking movement was flourishing.
On the other hand, mountaineering was also one of the significant activities that the duo liked. He always encouraged his friends to join him in the sport as it entailed a vast number of benefits. Alastair Borthwick’s continuous efforts enabled him to attract the attention of many people, and he continues to gain respect form many individuals. Through mountaineering, Alastair Borthwick met many people from various parts of the world and he shared his counsel concerning life with them. Besides, he also ensured that he learned new things form them and he was also passionate about hearing on their culture and customs. The process enabled him to discover ways through which he could respect the ways of life of other people. The duo is still remembered by, and his life is always an inspiration to many people across the globe. Refer to This Article for related information.

The book is coherently focused on fundamentals, and is aimed to stimulate intuition about present and future applications, while unveiling the halo of myths around lasers. metrology with femtosecond laser pulses, nonlinear optics, and coherent interactions between light and matter. Professor Diels has published several books and book. The volume is divided into sections devoted to vari ous forms of condensed matter (crystals, glasses, polymers, metals), liquids, and gases. Within each section physical properties, linear and nonlinear optical properties, and many special properties such as electrooptic, magne-toopic, and elastooptic properties of the materials are tabulated. Principles of Laser Spectroscopy and Quantum Optics is an essential textbook for graduate students studying the interaction of optical fields with atoms. It also serves as an ideal reference text for researchers working in the fields of laser spectroscopy and quantum optics. The book provides a rigorous introduction to the prototypical problems of radiation fields interacting with two- and 5/5(1). This book provides a complete and comprehensive overview of ultracold lattice gases as quantum simulators. It opens up an interdisciplinary field involving atomic, molecular and optical physics, quantum optics, quantum information, condensed matter and high energy physics.

The third book from Bonsai4me and Harry Harrington, 'Bonsai Basics: The Foundations of Bonsai' based on the book 'Bonsai Basics', previously only available as an e-book.
"Upon finding that I work as a professional bonsai artist, many people will remark that they once had a bonsai, but it died and with some regret, they gave up".
Based on the Bonsai Basics section of the hugely successful Bonsai4me.com website and an e-book of the same name, the text and information contained within 'Bonsai Basics: The Foundations of Bonsai' the paperback has been written and developed over the past 15 years.
It is hoped that this book, 'Bonsai Basics: The Foundations of Bonsai', will arm those new to bonsai, as well as experienced enthusiasts still using outdated techniques, with a solid foundation of knowledge. And that this will enable them to successfully keep their bonsai alive and healthy, through very simple practises, and continue to enjoy, what for many that practise the Art, is a life-long passion.Published by Bonsai4me.com and B4MePublishing Paperback: 120 full colour pages, glossy paperDimensions: 280mm x 221mm x 8mm Publishing date: Friday 27th March 2015ISBN 978-953-56515-3-6


Flashes of Creation
Basic Books, $30
The Big Bang wasn’t always a sure bet. For several decades in the 20th century, researchers wrestled with interpreting cosmic origins, or if there even was a beginning at all. At the forefront of that debate stood physicists George Gamow and Fred Hoyle: One advocated for an expanding universe that sprouted from a hot, dense state; the other for a cosmos that is eternal and unchanging. Both pioneered contemporary cosmology, laid the groundwork for our understanding of where atoms come from and brought science to the masses.
In Flashes of Creation, physicist Paul Halpern recounts Gamow’s and Hoyle’s interwoven stories. The book

|Saints for April 17th
||[Apr. 17th, 2005|03:30 pm]
When the saints go marching in...
Kateri Tekakwitha, known as “the Lily of the Mohawk”, was born in 1656 of a captive Algonquin mother and an Iroquois chieftain. Her mother was a Christian but dared not baptize Kateri or her younger brother. When an epidemic of smallpox broke out in 1660, the little girl lost her mother and brother, perhaps also her father at that time; she herself nearly succumbed to the malady.
Her uncle, who adopted her, later wanted her to marry a young Iroquois her own age, but she refused, having already experienced the horror of the Iroquois brutalities. When in 1675 Father Jacques de Lamberville, Jesuit missionary, discovered on the banks of the Mohawk River this “beautiful lily”, he transplanted her to the mission of St. Francis Xavier near Montreal, which had been founded a few years before. She received her first Communion there on Christmas day of 1676.
In 1679, on the feast of the Annunciation, with the authorization of one of the Fathers at the mission, Kateri privately pronounced a vow of perpetual chastity and consecrated herself to the Blessed Virgin. From that time on, she and her rosary were inseparable. Her health had never been strong, and her penances contributed to weakening it further. It was during Holy Week of 1680 that this young Indian maiden quietly expired, invoking the names of Jesus and Mary. Miracles and favors were attributed to her soon after her death.
In 1943, Pope Pius XII admitted the cause of beatification, approving the decree on the heroism of her virtues. Saint Kateri had appeared to some Polish prisoners during World War II, telling them she was named a patron of their country and brought about their release. They described to the Jesuits of their own country, the young Indian girl whom they had all seen in their vision, and learned who she was — Kateri, Lily of the Mohawk, the Canadian Indian girl who had attained sanctity very young and died at the age of 24 years. She was beatified in 1980, canonized in 1991.

Saint Anicetus, the eleventh successor of Saint Peter, succeeded to Saint Pius I and reigned for eleven years. During that time he had to combat in particular the dangerous errors of gnosticism, Christ’s ancient enemy, already rampant in the days when Saint John the Apostle wrote his letters to the churches of Asia. Saint Anicetus was visited in Rome by Saint Polycarp, bishop of Smyrna, who desired to consult with him, and whom he in turn asked to celebrate the feast of Easter in the Church of Rome, as Saint Ireneus, Polycarp’s disciple, relates. They had not been able to find a solution to the question of a difference in the date of Easter in the Orient and the Occident, which Pope Saint Victor would later settle, but remained close friends. Saint Anicetus’ vigilance protected his flock from the wiles of the false preachers Valentine and Marcion, who were attempting to corrupt the faith in the capital of the empire.
Saint Anicetus established the tonsure for the clergy as a practice of ecclesiastical discipline; a letter to this purpose, which he wrote to the bishops of the churches of Gaul, is still extant.
The Roman Breviary tells us that he received the palm of martyrdom for the Christian faith, one month after the death of the Emperor Antoninus the Pious. Of the first fifty-four bishops of Rome, as they are seen portrayed in the Basilica of Saint Paul in Rome, fifty-three are honored among the Saints; and of two hundred and forty-eight popes, from Saint Peter to Clement XII (†1740), seventy-eight are named in the Roman martyrology. In the primitive ages the spirit of fervor and perfect sanctity was conspicuous in most of the faithful, and especially in their pastors. The whole tenor of their lives breathed it, in such wise as to render them living miracles, angels on earth, breathing copies of their Divine Redeemer, the odor of whose virtues and holy law and religion they spread on every side.


Any One of Us: Words from Prison by Eva Ensler played at the Padua Hills Theater in Claremont in February 2015.
This piece is a collection of stories from the raw voices of fierceness and honesty written by the original 15 women combined with writing from women in prisons across the nation moving forward toward healing, understanding, and change with the ultimate goal of using their writing and voices to impact policy, laws and treatment of incarcerated women. Together these writings reveal the deep connection between women in prison and the violence that often brings them there. Because of the subject manner this show is not intended for children.
Like her earlier, world-famous and infamous work, “The Vagina Monologues,” Ensler’s “Any One of Us” is completely fearless in sharing often-shocking material that exposes some of the deepest taboo subjects involving women’s search for equality, acceptance and understanding. Even behind bars.
This performance, dramatic readings by Crossroads alumnae and community members, will awaken and disturb you, as well as give you a glimpse into how some of these women ended up in prison.
“I keep thinking of the gifts of my own upbringing, which I once took for granted: I can read any book I choose and comprehend it. I can write a complete sentence and punctuate it correctly. If I need help, I can call on judges, attorneys, educators, ministers. I wonder what I would be like if I had grown up without such protections and supports. What cracks would have turned up in my character?” ― Helen Prejean, Dead Man Walking: The Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty That Sparked a National Debate.

Extract from Skellig – Chapter thirty-eight
Mid morning. Mina’s mother brought cups of tea for us. She sat beside us on the step. She talked about the fledglings, the flowers that were bursting into bloom, the air that every day became warmer, the sun that every day was a little higher and a little warmer. She talked about the way spring made the world burst into life after months of apparent death. She told us about the goddess
Persephone, who was forced to spend half a year in the darkness deep underground. Winter happened when she was trapped inside the earth. The days shrank, they became cold and short and dark. Living things hid themselves away. Spring came when she was released and made her slow way up into the world again. The world
became brighter and bolder in order to welcome her back. It began to be filled with warmth and light. The animals dared to have their young. Plants dared to send out buds and shoots. Life dared to come back.
‘An old myth, ‘ I said.
‘Yes,’ she said. ‘But maybe it’s a myth that’s nearly true. Look around you Michael. Fledglings and blooms and bright sunshine. Maybe what we see around us is the whole world welcoming Persephone home.’
We thought of for a while in silence. I imagined her struggling her way towards us. She squeezed through black tunnels. She took wrong turnings, banged her head against the rocks. Sometimes she gave up in despair and she just lay weeping in pitch darkness. But she struggled on. She waded through icy underground streams. She fought through bedrock and clay and iron ore and coal, through fossils of ancient creatures, the skeletons of dinosaurs, the buried remains of ancient cities. She burrowed past the tangled roots of great trees. She was torn and bleeding but she kept telling herself to move onward and upward. She told herself that soon she’d see the light of the sun again and feel the warmth of the world again.
1. Annotate the text in the following manner:
- Underline all the adjectives used in the first paragraph.
- Using a different colour underline all the verbs in the last paragraph.
- Now using a highlighter pen highlight all the simple sentences in the whole extract.
2. In pairs:
- Discuss what you notice about the author’s use of adjectives and verbs in this piece of descriptive writing.
- Why do you think the author uses so many simple sentences?
- What effect does this have on the reader?
3. Read on to find out about the story of Persephone.
Demeter was the goddess of all growing things. She had a daughter called Persephone who was snatched by the god Hades one day and taken into the underworld.
Hades was king of the underworld – a cold and gloomy region inhabited by the souls of the dead. He wanted to marry Persephone.
Back on the earth, Demeter was very sad and the world mourned with her. It went cold and dark and no plants grew. At last, Zeus sent Hermes to bring Persephone back – but because Persephone had eaten in the underworld, she could not stay on Earth. She had to live with Hades for a few months each year. When that happened it was winter.
When that happened it was winter. ‘We thought of Persephone for a while in silence. I imagined her struggling her way towards us. She squeezed through black tunnels. She took wrong turnings, banged her head against the rocks. Sometimes she gave up in despair and she just lay weeping in the pitch darkness. But she struggled on. She waded through icy underground streams. She fought through bedrock and clay and iron ore and coal, through fossils of ancient cities. She burrowed past the tangled roots of trees. She was torn and bleeding but she kept telling herself to move onward and upward. She told herself that soon she’d see the light of the sun again and feel the warmth of the world again.’
David Almond also writes about Icarus in Skellig
Daedelus was a very clever inventor who designed a maze for the Minotaur on Crete. However, he offended King Minos and so was imprisoned with his son Icarus. Daedelus planned an ingenious escape by making wings for them both out of feathers, wax and thread. The wings worked and they flew from the window of their prison.
Icarus was thrilled at flying like a bird and despite his father’s warnings not to get carried away, he flew higher and higher until he was so close to the sun that the wax melted and the wings broke apart. He fell into the sea and drowned.
‘Miss Clarts got tears in her eyes when she told us the story of Icarus, how his wings had melted when he flew too close to the sun, and how he had dropped like a stone past his father Daedelus into the sea.’
Why do you think David Almond chose to use these two stories from Ancient Greece in Skellig?
Another character that David Almond mentions is William Blake. William Blake unlike Persephone and Icarus was a real person who was born in London in the 17th C. He was a rather odd man who wrote and illustrated poems, believed that school was stifling for children.
‘How can a bird that is born for joy
Sit in a cage and sing?’
‘He painted pictures and wrote poems. Much of the time he wore no clothes. He saw angels in his garden.’
He said we were surrounded by angels and spirits. We must just open our eyes a little wider, look a little harder.’
‘He said the soul was able to leap out of the body for a while and then leap back again. He said it could be caused by great fear or enormous pain. Sometimes it was because of too much joy. It was possible to be overwhelmed by the presence of so much beauty in the world.’
THE SCHOOL BOY
I love to rise in a summer morn,
When the birds sing on every tree;
The distant huntsman winds his horn,
And the skylark sings with me.
O! what sweet company.
But to go to school in a summer morn
O! it drives all joy away;
Under a cruel eye outworn,
The little ones spend the day,
In sighing and dismay.
Ah! then at times I drooping sit,
And spend many an anxious hour.
Nor in my book can I take delight,
Nor sit in learnings bower,
Worn thro' with the dreary shower
How can the bird that is born for joy,
Sit in a cage and sing.
How can a child when fears annoy,
But droop his tender wing,
And forget his youthful spring.
O! father & mother, if buds are nip'd,
And blossoms blown away,
And if the tender plants are strip'd
Of their joy in the springing day,
By sorrow and cares dismay,
How shall the summer arise in joy
Or the summer fruits appear
Or how shall we gather what griefs destroy
Or bless the mellowing year,
When the blasts of winter appear.

“This book will capture a young child’s attention while introducing them to simple academic concepts and Christian values. Definitely a great addition to any kid’s recreational activities and also good for teachers working with children in a non-secular setting.”
“My kids (ages 4 and 6) absolutely love this book. It’s easy to understand and very simple for children to follow. The idea that Jesus loves everyone in various situations comes through in a crystal clear manner that kids can’t help but catch. When bedtime comes, this is the first book that the kids grab from the bookshelf and bring to me. Usually, my daughter begins story time by repeating the story from memory as I turn the pages and then drifts off to sleep by the time we’re 2/3 of the way to the end of the book. The book covers Jesus’ love for me, you, mommy and daddy in various situations to which kids can easily relate. Can’t recommend this book highly enough if you have kids who you’d like to have understand Jesus’ love more clearly.”
“This book was perfect for teaching my almost 3 year old son about how Jesus Christ loves him. It’s simple approach and friendly artwork make this full-color Christian children’s book a joy to read and share. I really like the way Nicole can capture the way a child looks at the world and finds a way to deliver God’s message of love as well.
If you have a small child, I recommend this book a lot. I think this would also be a great book for grandparents who want to share a quick story with their grandkids. The coloring book is a good tool as well, my son loves to color, but he also loves the short simple stories that go in it.”
-Mick McArt, Author Tales of Wordishure
“Author, Benoit-Roy, has written a great book that will allow small children to realize they have the love of Jesus, and so do their friends, family, and everyone they know. It is important for children to realize the love of Jesus, so books like this one are so important in our society. I love how Benoit-Roy has told her story. Small children everywhere will love her book.
The pictures are crisp, inviting and tailored for each page – just beautiful.
I’d love to see “Jesus Loves Everybody: Especially Me” on the shelves of all Christian bookstores and church libraries everywhere.”
“I have a 3-1/2 year old daughter who loves this book. Generally, she lets me read her a book once and that’s it, it’s rare that we can read something multiple times. However, she has brought, ‘Jesus Loves Everybody’ to me several times to read, to me, that says a lot. I love the simplicity of this book and the truth of Jesus love, which none of us can ever hear enough. My daughter also enjoys the coloring book, it’s a great tool to help plant the message deeper into her heart. I would recommend this book to parents, grandparents, preschools/daycares, whomever is wanting to help the children in their life understand that Jesus loves them.”
“This book is great for beginning readers. The repetition of simple words helps to build confidence in their reading ability. And, it builds on their belief. It’s a simple story with a powerful message. The coloring book by the same title allows children to personalize the story to fit their own world. A great bedtime story!”
"Jesus Love Us and Our Favorite Colors teaches children that Jesus not only loves them but also cares about the things that are dear to them through a rhyming presentation as well as a hands-on reading experience."

Among the saints remembered on the Irish calendars on September 19, is a priest known only by his patronym, as Canon O'Hanlon explains:
St. Mac Oigi, Priest.
The particular name of this saint does not appear to have been preserved, for he is only called "the son of Oig." In the published Martyrology of Tallagh, we read, that veneration was given at this date to Mac Oigi. The contracted word Sac. follows this announcement, and from its usual form of application, we may infer he was a Priest. In the manuscript copy of the Book of Leinster, in like manner, he was distinguished as Mac Cuigi, a Priest.

‘Toto’ (blood) is a short documentary which briefly explores the relationship between Māori and Pākehā from the perspective of Ngāti Porou kaumatua, Keita Ngata (Ngāti Porou). ‘Toto’ serves as a lesson to rangatahi Māori to remember that we carry both Māori and Pākehā blood and the importance of respecting that, by not forgetting the hardships of either, but acknowledging the bad and choosing the good in both. This short documentary seeks to share traditional knowledge in a way that’s true to Te Ao Māori and will also resonate with rangatahi Māori.
‘Toto’ is a rangatahi-made documentary, created by a crew of students from Rāngai in Tūranganui-a-Kiwa. ‘Toto’ was directed by Te Aroha Pokai Harrison-Kaa (Ngāti Porou) in an ever-continuing venture to explore her cultural background. Assisted by Camera Operator Kaj Tata (Ngāti Ranginui) and Sound Operator Dakora Tihore.
“The relationship between Pākehā and Māori is a topic that’s always intrigued me since we descend from both, I’m always keen to learn more about my culture and ancestors, particularly by listening to my kaumatua.” says Te Aroha about the topic of ‘Toto’. “I think it’s really important to preserve our tradition of oral history, and documentaries are a great way to continue to share our stories orally in a modern context and in a way that’s accessible for everyone.”
Keita Ngata has been a prominent voice in Māori-centric media and having her weigh in on this topic was invaluable, “I learned heaps from her, not just about this specific topic but also about our own family, I could probably make ten documentaries from all the korero she shared.”
“By the time we’d finished up the shoot, I had a renewed interest and pride in my whole ancestry, not just the Māori portion.”

In response to my time as an artist-in-residence at the museum in the summer of 2017, I put together a ‘selective guide’ book that takes a reader through a short personal tour of the South Asia collection at the V&A in London, weaving together thirteen seemingly disparate objects—some that are present and some that are absent in the gallery, displayed elsewhere in the museum, in storage or indeed in India. In order to have a plural voice, I invited my peers and fellow artists from both UK and South Asia (India and Pakistan) to respond, in creative ways, to specific objects in the collection, that guide a reader through various parts of the collection.
Drawing bridges between objects that sit in different collections in the museum but are from South Asia, such as the Rapid Response collection and the Museum of Childhood, the publication attempts to move away from the official museological narrative and makes inquiries about what an alternative understanding of the objects could be; not giving the ‘facts’ but instead creating idiosyncratic links though the collection as the whole and responding to how objects are displayed and how personal meaning is created through display and interpretation.
The contributions are in the form of questions, descriptive writing, poetry and collage. Through personal responses they tackle the larger themes of hidden power structures, trade history between the continents, the provenance of the objects, the magic and mystery one experiences when looking at a collection such as the V&A’s, questions of ownership (national/individual) and of curation amongst others.

"Life in the Jungle"
This book by Michael Heseltine, the Secretary of State who set up LDDC in 1981, has many useful references to the Corporation - see especially pages 130,153, 200, 211-214, 380, 397-398 and 515. It was published by Hodder and Stoughton in 2000 (ISBN 0 340 73915 0).
Select Committee Report
The Government's proposal to establish the LDDC attracted a number of objections. These were heard by a Select Committee of the House of Lords which sat for 46 days starting in February 1981.The Select Committee's report (.pdf 681 kb) was published on 5th June 1981
A list of the key events in the life of the LDDC arranged in the order they ocurred. The aim of the page is to give the LDDC's story chronological perespective.
Public Transport Provision for Docklands
Early in the LDDC's life a Steering Group was set up by LDDC, London Transport and the GLC to carry out a study of feasible transport schemes and assess their costs and benefits. The study was carried out in association with the Department for Transport, the Department of the Environment and the Docklands Boroughs. The Group reported in June 1982 - here is a summary of their assessment of the various schemes (.pdf 1.80mb).
It was the practice each year for the LDDC to publish a Corporate Plan describing its aspirations and plans for the period ahead. Sadly we have copies of the Corporate Plan for only two yearsand
The LDDC saw Education and Training as crucial to ensuring that local people gained full benefit from the new jobs being brought to Docklands as part of the programme of regeneration it was helping to bring to the area. For many years the Corporation's staff included a Schools Liaison Team who among many other things published material for the use of local pupiles and their teachers. We have just some of them:
Here are copies of various LDDC brochures which have come into our possession:
Here is an early description of the Canary Wharf project (.pdf 258kb) prepared by Olympia and York who were the original developers. This item is published by kind permission of Canary Wharf Limited.
1994 MORI Research Studies
In November 1994 the LDDC commissioned MORI to conduct research studies on attitudes to London Dockands among local residents and local businesses. Here are the MORI reports:
Facts and Figures
Here is the Key Facts and Figures sheet published by the LDDC's Corporate Information Unit for the period ended 31st March 1996 (.pdf 561 kb)
IN 1997/98 the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) commissioned an evaluation of the LDDC by Cambridge Policy Consultants Ltd. This followed an earlier baseline report undertaken by consultants Price Waterhouse. Summaries of these reports are available on the DETR's website:-
NAO Report - How European Cities Achieve Renaissance
In 2007 the National Audit Office carried out a study of how central government departments work with each other and with regional and local bodies to deliver the Government's ambitious aspirations for the Thames Gateway. As part of this study the NAO explored how seven European cities or regions have tackled regeneration and brrought sustainable growth and renewal to local communities. Brief summaries of these companion studies are published in the NAO publication How European Cities Achieve Renaissance (.pdf 2.94mb) . Among the short reports, on pages 21-28, is one on the LDDC's work in London Docklands.
The report of the main studyThe Thames Gateway: Laying the Foundation (.pdf 2.30mb) is also well worth a read. There is also an Executive Summary (.pdf 453kb)
Overview of LDDC Accounts
As part of a wider NAO study of the Thames Gateway programme, the National Audit Office in 2007 carried out a short analysis of the Annual Accounts of the LDDC over the 17 years of its life.The resulting overview was not published but is reproduced here (.pdf 41kb) by kind permission.
On 1st April 2009 Stuart Innes, who until 1998 was a senior LDDC officer (serving throughout the whole of the Corporation's life), spoke to the Regeneration and Renewal Conference at Birmingham.

Eastside Community Heritage - Witness Seminar - June 2009
As part of their Working Lives of the Thames Gateway project, a three-year oral history project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Eastside Community Heritage on 29th June 2009 organised a ‘witness seminar’ on the London Docklands Development Corporation. The panel comprised, among others, former members of the staff and board of the Corporation including David Donohue, Eric Sorensen, Cllr Conor McAuley, Stuart Innes and Howard Sheppard. The panel also included Lord Howe.
Attached is the research paper (.pdf 461kb) drawn up by Henry Miller in preparation for the Seminar as well as copies of two speeches (.pdf 644kb) made by Lord Howe (then the Rt Hon Sir Geoffrey Howe QC, MP) on the Isle of Dogs in 1978 and 1988 which he tabled at the Seminar. The speeches were first published by the Bow Group.
For more information visit the website of Eastside Community Heritage.
Royal Docks - short history
In the case of the Royal Docks and Beckton much of the information in the LDDC's monographs and area booklets has been abstracted with other material into a single short account of the history of the area of Newham to the south of the A13. To see this visit the History Page on the website of the Royal Docks Trust (London)On this site you will also find information about current developments in the Royal Docks.
Transport Infrastructure - Royal Docks
Some readers will be interested to know about the progress made in developing the transport infrastructure in the Royal Docks since the LDDC closed its door in 1998. There is a good summary of the various projects completed, in progress or planned at the Surface Access Page of the London City Airport Consultative Committee which also includes a wealth of information about the origins and history of the Airport and its current operations.
West Silvertown Village Community Foundation
The West Silvertown Online website includes a wealth of information and pictures about West Silvertown today and how it was in times past.
EXCEPT for its planning files and registers the LDDC's records, including copies of its publications, were transferred to English Partnerships which is now known as the Homes and Community Agency. They are now stored there in a large repository at Hemel Hempstead along with the files and other records of the other Urban Development Corporations in England together with those of the former English New Town Development Corporations and those of the Housing Action Trusts.

UEFA Extraordinary Stories
13 October / 20:00
Extraordinary Stories is a documentary series of short films featuring captivating stories unearthed from UEFA’s archives. They are astonishing tales of triumphant glories, obscure teams and fascinating individuals, which are both unimaginable and truly extraordinary.
Commissioned by UEFA TV and produced by Noah Media Group (creators of “Arsène Wenger: Invincible” and “Finding Jack Charlton”), four episodes have been produced to date and all are available to watch for free on UEFA’s website. Thinking Football features two of them.
The first tells the incredible story of Jimmy Hasty. Despite losing his left arm in a childhood accident, Jimmy led Dundalk FC to their first league title in 30 years. Tragically, in 1974, he was murdered by paramilitaries during ‘The Troubles’ in Northern Ireland.
The second film is “Deserter: The Extraordinary Story of Miodrag Belodedici”. The documentary piece that retraces the steps of former European champion Belodedici, from his glory days with Steaua Bucharest and Red Star Belgrade up until his decision to flee Nicolae Ceaușescu’s Romania, a choice which saw the footballer sentenced to ten years in prison.

Today, we are living in a century where reading books becoming less and reading of blogs, articles has been increased, but what I believe is book reading boost up your mind’s creativity, and upgrade your grammatical source, vocabularies, and reading habit will be enhanced, most of successful people used to read books, and they spend their time with books and called that time so worthy and precious, and they stated that “READING BOOKS IS THE MOST ESSENTIAL STEP TOWARDS SUCCESS”, and today if we have a look to the past era, we’ve have been able to see that almost all successful people had a library in her home, little or big, doesn’t matter but they had a habit of reading that’s how they are so known today. But, reading is fashionable. Again. And every college student is always in fashion as a rule. There are few books, every student should need, for their better implantation of mind, motivational growth, and inspirational habits. Among thousands of books, only a few hundred are worth reading. And among those hundreds you will find only a few from which you can learn something.
This book includes how to use your voice, and find it out, content including THE PAIN, THE PROBLEM, AND THE SOLUTION, how to inspire others, leadership challenges, aligning and empowering, the age of wisdom, and other statistics and capacities, a practical guide to action and so on.
This book includes in it contents, how to manage responsibilities, courage, and discipline, how to ignore humility, fake vision, how to find respect, empathy and creates unity, how to live your dreams, how to contribute to charity and pay attention. And other valuable things which give health to individual’s soul.
He stated here at the very start of writing his book, ‘THE ONE THING THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING”, he said the first wave of trust is self-trust, that will increase the abilities, how to build trust on other relations and co-workers.
“You may be poor, but the one thing nobody can take away from you is the freedom to fuck up your life whatever way you want to.” This is a story about a relationship, a love triangle which subjects first met in college. What will become more important to them: love or friendship? Is there any decision for this difficult situation, when you love but do not want to lose your best friend? Every college student should know the answer to these questions.
“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart.” A well-known novel about the student Raskolnikov and his attempts to find his place in this life and understand who he really is. After killing an old pawnbroker, this young man tries to justify his actions. Raskolnikov’s story can make every modern college student rethink their views to moral laws and their place in society.
“If you’re in trouble, or hurt or need – go to the poor people. They’re the only ones that’ll help – the only ones.” This is a story about one family that moves to California in attempts to find a better life during the great depression; the story about the importance of love, support, and close people near you; the story about resilience and courage of a man to roll with the punches.
