Author: Jan Morris
Published Date: 2019
Page: 208

“The most purely charming thing I have read so far in 2019 is Jan Morris’s In My Mind’s Eye.... There is so much dash and verve in Morris’s sentences, so much personality, a generosity of spirit that is flavored by well-earned crankiness.... [S]o charming, so endearing, such an antidote to boredom.”” - Constance Grady, Vox“It is remarkable to be writing a book at 91, yet what grips is not so much her thoughts about the world (towards which she turns and turns away) but her sense of the rhythms of domestic life.” - The Guardian“Morris is one of Britain’s greatest living writers.” - The Times (UK)““[Morris] is the same age as Queen Elizabeth II and like that remarkable monarch she still seems, in her early 90s, to be completely engaged with the world, understanding of its foibles and appreciative of what life has to offer.... Reading these beautifully written pages, one is struck by the gentle note of lament they host.... In My Mind’s Eye is a lovely book, halfway between a diary and a volume of brief essays, a book that has a gentle, haunting tone. It will remind us of what a good, wise and witty companion Jan Morris has been for so many readers for so long.”” - Alexander McCall Smith, New York Times Book Review“A splendidly quirky confection that mixes the trivial with the serious, like life.... Morris has a gift for picking out what seems only in retrospect to be obvious. Like all good diaries, this one benefits from the strengths of the form: the possibility of being (or sounding) spontaneous and impressionistic.” - Literary Review (UK)“This is vintage Morris – the mundane mingling with the majestic in a casual embrace, a regular walk quickened by Welsh military marches and stirring requiems. Like Michel de Montaigne, the seminal 16th-century essayist she deeply admires, Ms. Morris is a great expert at amusing herself, viewing her local stomping grounds as a lively source of theater.... Sublime.” - Danny Heitman, Wall Street Journal“In committing her ruminations to 320 entertaining pages, Morris creates a captivating image of a delightfully dotty elderly lady.... After closing the book, I felt bereft of Morris’s company and her chummy, conversational prose style.” - Susan Flockhart, Glasgow Sunday Herald“At the start of her 10th decade, Jan Morris was asked to write a diary of her thoughts. Day-to-day observations and experiences, mostly light, some weighty, others the expected ruminations of a versatile British author long celebrated for her histories and travel writing. Morris, now 92, undertook the task with some trepidation, not because of her age ― she is doing quite nicely, thank you ― but out of modesty: Why would anyone care? Well, we do. Especially when these brief, daily entries range so widely, from sharp, wistful or cranky to eccentric and grandmotherly.” - Bill Thomson, The Post and Courier Born in 1926, Jan Morris is the author of such classics as the Pax Britannica trilogy and The World, among many others. She lives in Wales.

Riffing on cats and Brexit, the Royals and the annoyances of aging, the nonagenarian Jan Morris delights with her wickedly hilarious first-ever diary collection.

Celebrated as the “greatest descriptive writer of her time” (Rebecca West), Jan Morris has been dazzling readers since she burst on the scene with her on-the-spot reportage of the first ascent of Everest in 1953. Now, the beloved ninety-two-year-old, author of classics such as Venice and Trieste, embarks on an entirely new literary enterprise―a collection of daily diaries, penned over the course of a single year. Ranging widely from the idyllic confines of her North Wales home, Morris offers diverse sallies on her preferred form of exercises (walking briskly), her frustration at not recognizing a certain melody humming in her head (Beethoven’s Pathétique, incidentally), her nostalgia for small-town America, as well as intimate glimpses into her home life.

With insightful quips on world issues, including Britain’s “special relationship” with the United States and the #MeToo movement, In My Mind’s Eye will charm old and new Jan Morris fans alike.

Frontispiece

Random thoughts by an erudite and aging author I was thinking about Jan Morris and decided to see if she written anything new. As I am a senior, I was interested in this book and ordered it immediately. The entries are small and varied but also wonderful.Good luck to both of us The book arrived on Friday morning. I cleared the decks, brewed the tea, turned off the phone and settled in for a day of reading. A challenge—finish it today. But, before the pot of tea was emptied, just about page 33, I laid down the book and turned on the phone. This is not, for me, a sit-down-and-read book. Not like a meal from the drive-through that will be gobbled down before the news is off. Like a gourmet meal, this is a book to be savored, enjoyed, and slowly digested.Morris shares that as she enters her tenth decade she is writing her first journal—“good luck to me.” And, I add, “Good luck to me, too.” Thing change—her mood, the weather, her car. She puts down what on her mind today, briefly, and then she’s off. This how I plan to finish my reading. The book will live by my reading chair, ready for a frequent dip in. My own journal I lives nearby so may even write a response to Morris in my mind’s eye.At a decade and a few ahead of me, she offers insights that make me feel fine about my own approaching “tenth decade.” Morris’s writing is, as always, a delight. I keep my underlining pencil ready, because I figure when in a few months I finish the book, I suspect I’ll just turn it over and start again. Before I do, I’ll stop and send a sequel to this review.A great pleasure to read and savor What a delightful and insightful experience; reading this "thought diary" is like having a pleasant visit with an old friend. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

(Willis). Book 2 of a classic, comprehensive step-by-step course specifically designed to suit the needs of children beginning the piano. Includes: colorful characters and illustrations * writing exercises * sight reading drills * review work * teacher/parent accompaniments * and more!

and have found this to be the most logical and easily comprehended beginning piano book on the market I have taught music for over 40 years, and have found this to be the most logical and easily comprehended beginning piano book on the market!Easy?? Easy??? Not really. Certainly not good for a little kid. Also, graphics in this books are pretty unappealing and .. well, ugly ;(Not recommendedThis is an excellent, colorful book for beginning piano students This is an excellent, colorful book for beginning piano students. I wondered where this feel on the spectrum of books when looking at Teaching Little Fingers How to Play which was the first book my piano teacher used with me, along with the notespeller. After ordering those as well, I would say this book would go first and is a combination of the styles of Teaching Little Fingers How to Play (which is instructional and has basic songs) and the Note Speller (where they practice just that). This book has the instructional piece with songs and worksheets for as well. It makes me wonder if it was designed as a replacement. If trying to decide between these two John Thompson resources for a little one, you may one to go with this one first and follow the progression of these. I don't regret buying the others, I like the songs in it for beginners. I will be using all of them with my kiddos.

Title: Team of Vipers Pdf My 500 Extraordinary Days in the Trump White House

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"Sims’s vivid portrait of Trump shrewdly balances admiration with misgivings, and his intricate, engrossing accounts of White House vendettas and power plays have a good mix of immersion and perspective. The result is one of the best of the recent flood of Trump tell-alls." —Publishers Weekly

The first honest insider’s account of the Trump administration. If you hate Trump you need the truth; if you love Trump you need the truth.

After standing at Donald Trump’s side on Election Night, Cliff Sims joined him in the West Wing as Special Assistant to the President and Director of White House Message Strategy.

He soon found himself pulled into the President’s inner circle as a confidante, an errand boy, an advisor, a punching bag, and a friend. Sometimes all in the same conversation.

As a result, Sims gained unprecedented access to the President, sitting in on private meetings with key Congressional officials, world leaders, and top White House advisors. He saw how Trump handled the challenges of the office, and he learned from Trump himself how he saw the world.

For five hundred days, Sims also witnessed first-hand the infighting and leaking, the anger, joy, and recriminations. He had a role in some of the President’s biggest successes, and he shared the blame for some of his administration’s worst disasters. He gained key, often surprising insights into the players of the Trump West Wing, from Jared Kushner and John Kelly to Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway.

He even helped Trump craft his enemies list, knowing who was loyal and who was not.

And he took notes. Hundreds of pages of notes. In real-time.

Sims stood with the President in the eye of the storm raging around him, and now he tells the story that no one else has written—because no one else could. The story of what it was really like in the West Wing as a member of the President’s team. The story of power and palace intrigue, backstabbing and bold victories, as well as painful moral compromises, occasionally with yourself.

Team of Vipers tells the full story, as only a true insider could.

Well-written... I bought and read the Kindle edition of the book. It should be noted as a "Verified Purchase"Cliff Sims is a 20-something wonderkind from Alabama, where he was the CEO of a media company. In 2016, he had broken the story - complete with audio tapes - of the affair the state's governor, Robert Bentley had been having with his (much younger) assistant, Rebekah Mason. Bentley ultimately resigned/was pushed out of office. About the same time, Sims had had a radio interview with then-candidate Donald Trump that had gone well. A little later, he evinced interest in working for the Trump-for-President campaign, and an old friend, Senator Jeff Sessions, got him a job in the Trump campaign communications department. Sims moved to New York, where he worked for the campaign and then with the White House. This book, "Team of Vipers: My 500 Extraordinary Days in the Trump White House", is a story of his work with both the campaign and his time at the White House.I haven't read many of the books which have come out since Donald Trump was inaugurated. I did buy the Woodward book last fall, but have not been interested enough - after all, we are living it - to buy anything more, til I saw this book. It's the story about Cliff Sims, the son and grandson of Alabama preachers, who build up a quasi-media empire in Alabama and ran with the big dogs of state politics. A conservative, who believed in the Republican mantras, Sims is a sophisticated young man who seemed to fit in to the Trump campaign mojo and moved to the White House, looking for more. He worked closely with the White House Communications department and left after about 18 months of service. How he was able to rationalise the work he was doing for the man who he was doing it for, while maintaining his basic morality, is the subtext to his book. The main text was, of course, the weirdness and bizarre actions of the Trump White House.Cliff Sims is a good writer. He knows how to tell his story as he lived it, in plain terms. Sims doesn't stint on the details about the president and his staff, yet I was left with the feeling that Sims actually liked Donald Trump. And maybe even understood him a little. This is a good book.Paean to Trump This is a saccharine if well-written hagiography of Trump. Be forewarned before purchasing. While informative about how the West Wing works under Trump, I'd still like my money back.The book would resonate best with MAGA devotees and Trumpist conservatives. If that's who you are, you will like the book.The author attempts to justify things like the egregious firing of James Comey, and expresses doubt that the Russia interfered with US elections.Caveat emptor.Will it be a Trump Devotee who Brings Trump’s Administration to its KNEES? Page 59. Yes, page 59 is, to my mind, a key to proving just how ludicrous is the current President’s Administration.On page 59, Sims explains the full story regarding the crowd size for Trump’s inaugural. We all knew it was a lie, but Sean Spicer and company swore to us what they knew was a falsehood.Sims has provided a wealth of gossipy information that is likely to weaken the Trump Administration more than that done by Bob Woodward, Michael Wolff, or Michael Lewis. Why? Because Trump’s followers know that Sims is one of them. He has nothing but admiration and adoration for Donald Trump.BOTTOM LINEIf you’re looking for scandal against Pres. Trump, this book will not please you. If you’re looking for dirt on some key players in the Trump Administration, though, you’re in for a fun ride. Oh, and if you are a member of Mueller’s team, looking for insight into drawing lines between the dots regarding key points you have dug up, “Team of Vipers” by Cliff Sims just might help you drive one more nail in the coffin. But remember to also get the Audible Edition — and enjoy your tour!Four stars out of five.I am striving to produce reviews that help you find books that you want, or avoid books that you wish to avoid. With your help, my improvement will help you and me improve book reviews on Amazon. Together, you and I can build a great customer review process that helps everybody. Will you join me?

DANCING WITH DEATH Free Pdf

ISBN: 0984344810
Title: DANCING WITH DEATH Pdf An Epic and Inspiring Travel Adventure
Author: Jean-Philippe Soulé
Published Date: 2019-01-12

EDITORIAL REVIEW - The Book Review Directory In this diary-style memoir, Dancing with Death follows two men on an experience of a lifetime . . . What they take away from their journey are unforgettable memories and plenty of lessons learned about themselves and the world . . . The story switches seamlessly between Jean-Philippe and Luke's perspectives and include intimate, up-close-and-personal details about the blood, sweat, and tears shed during the expedition. Transparent, honest, and emotional, the diary entries underscore the personal struggle each man undergoes individually and in their partnership . . . How far would you push yourself to achieve the impossible? Jean-Philippe Soulé's story of what the power of human will can accomplish is inspiring, emotional, and empowering. The diverse people, delicious food, and fascinating cultural traditions in Dancing with Death will amaze readers. Filled with adventure and excitement, Dancing with Death will leave readers dreaming of clear water, lush nature, and an unforgettable surge of inspiration to step out of their comfort zone and into the great wide world.- The Book Review Directory / Star Rating: 5/5EDITORIAL REVIEW - Best Sellers World . . . Co-authored by co-adventurers Jean-Philippe Soulé and Luke Shullenberger, this dynamic read memorializes not only their experiences during their expansive sea kayaking journey, but also serves to help bring awareness to the cultures and history of the seldom seen or noted native peoples they encountered. . . . I found the narrative an intelligently composed chronicle and compelling read that riled the senses with descriptive exposition and well-organized literate visions of superhuman determination, extreme traveling adventure, fraught with kayaking adventure, spine-tingling moments, exotic environments and intriguing people and cultures. . . . Additionally, aside from portraying a phenomenal travel super-adventure, included in the book are some of the most stunning photos that I have seen ... However, the very best aspect of the book is the inspirational tone of the whole book. The authors, although faced with the adversity and danger of their expedition, did not quit. They simply followed their dreams, a must I think, for all travelers. I definitely and heartily recommend this for fans of travel books. - Lisa Brown-Gilbert, Best Sellers WorldEDITORIAL REVIEW - The Wishing Shelf  'A fast-paced story that will grip you and inspire you. Highly recommended.'  . . . This is not just a travel book. The author who, I might add, has excellent writing skills, seems determined for the reader to see everything they saw, from braving waters infested with sharks and alligators to trying to understand the different ways of life they encountered . . . All in all, this is an enthralling book that I very much enjoyed getting lost in. Would I recommend it? Oh, yes! . . . Finally, in a world where so many 'give up', this is an example of two men who didn't. So, if you are looking for inspiration, here it is. Enjoy!- A 'Wishing Shelf' / Star Rating: 5/55 EDITORIAL REVIEWS - Readers' Favorite . . . "We chose sea kayaking as a low-impact way to penetrate untouched jungles and their inhabitants without disturbing them. We won't meet indigenous people as high-tech tourists, but as people like them, living from the land and sea." This admirable and ambitious decision by Jean-Philippe Soulé and Luke Shullenberger lends David and Goliath drama to the epic tale of adventure related throughout Dancing With Death - not, in fact, a hyperbolic title. Told as a recreated narrative by Jean-Philippe, but also spiced with present moment vividness from journal entries made at the time (including many enticing photographs and ecological observations), these two ambitious souls take the reader on an unforgettable escapade of ultimate danger and discovery, inspiring less intrepid souls . . . - Joel R. Dennstedt, Readers' Favorite / Star Rating: 5/5  Dancing with Death gives the armchair adventurer a front row seat as the two explorers face massive waves, sharks and endless hordes of biting, stinging insects. Soulé and Shullenberger's journal entries are interleaved throughout the book, and I loved seeing the journey through each man's perspective. Their vastly different world views and personalities underscore the team effort shown throughout their challenging trip, and hearing both participants' voices added dimension and nuances to the work. Both are solid and fluent writers, perfectly suited for adventure travel writing, and their photography is brilliant. Their accounts of interacting with the indigenous people they met were illuminating and powerful. . . . Dancing with Death: An Epic and Inspiring Travel Adventure is most highly recommended. - Jack Magnus, Readers' Favorite / Star Rating: 5/5  . . . It is a story of courage, perseverance, mental strength, self-discovery, endurance, and exploration, and the rawness and starkness of the narrative will leave readers in awe. . . . The book is honest and straightforward and the authors are very vocal about the expedition, their experiences, and their exploratory journey, making it fast-paced and exciting to readers. The images capture the sights and sounds of their journey, making it palpable. - Mamta Madhavan, Readers' Favorite / Star Rating: 5/5 . . . Dancing with Death: An Epic and Inspiring Travel Adventure by Jean-Philippe Soulé is a wonderful travel memoir and I was hooked from page one. Having read many travel memoirs before, I found this one stands out as written by someone who obviously is a born adventurer at heart, one who also puts in the hard work necessary to actually make expeditions like this possible and successful. - Gisela Dixon, Readers' Favorite / Star Rating: 5/5. . . This is a journey of dreams, sacrifice, endurance and triumph, a journey of life that takes you to places you could only ever dream of, through three years of heaven and hell on earth.  Wow! Dancing With Death: An Epic and Inspiring Travel Adventure by Jean-Philippe Soulé is one of the most amazing travel and adventure books I have ever had the privilege to read. What an adventure! . . . We see the journey through their eyes, experience their highs and lows, the danger they faced and their triumphs. The photography was amazing; it really added to the story, brought it even more alive than it already was.  . . . a personal kind of diary written in a tone that is warm and inviting, almost like you are listening to camp fire stories. You will laugh, you will cry, you will shudder in horror, gasp in terror and you will thoroughly enjoy this true story of a journey that many would only dream of and few would dare to undertake. Fabulous book, I thoroughly enjoyed it and it is highly recommended for those who love travel and survival stories but also for those who need to see that when you put your mind to it, anything is possible. - Anne-Marie Reynolds, Readers' Favorite / Star Rating: 5/5   MORE REVIEWS: "Dancing with Death" is simply a great story. It combines the easy reading style of "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson with the adventure and excitement of "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer. As I read, I could clearly picture everything, which makes it seem like watching a movie.- Jim LeSage ★★★★★ Emotional rollercoaster...It's also a great exploration of the human spirit and relationships and how we're all connected in some intangible way. . . . it truly is a study of human endurance. Think "Naked and Afraid" but with more clothes and less fear- Acesfull ★★★★★  'A paddle into the past with an eye to the future' . . . In this inviting style of writing the three-year rigorous but enlightening journey unfolds, combining the style once the sole property of writer Richard Halliburton with the skills of thriller novels. . . . Much more than an adventure journal, this is an enlightening book that tempts/stimulates the reader to forge ahead with dreams. First class book!- Grady Harp, Amazon Hall of Fame, Amazon Top 100 reviewer ★★★★★  An incredible adventureThis was one of those rare "can't put it down" books. Very well written, full of suspense and educational at the same time.I particularly enjoyed the different perspectives of Luke and Jean-Philippe. It's hard to comprehend how they could actually complete this journey and live to tell about it. Highly recommended.- Bill H. ★★★★★  A great trip putting two men against nature and more- Jimmy Ray ★★★★★  It's a great inspiration for adventure and ecotravelers, and just a plain enjoyable read for people who prefer to read about adventure from the safety of home.- Amanda ★★★★★  Get taken along for the adventure of a lifetime!. . . An epic story well told!- Coastal Eddie ★★★★★  An enjoyable and gripping tale well told. . . a gripping story full of danger and emotions, to discover native peoples of Central America. Two thumbs (and a paddle) up- Nuits Blanches in Seattle ★★★★★  Adventures like this, done in this style, don't happen this often.

Reading like a Personal Diary! An amazing story that impressed me. I like this format of books, where information is provided as if it’s from a personal diary, where the author writes his emotions and describes in detail the actions with the date and time.I love to travel, so it was more interesting for me to read about the journey of two men, whose names are Jean-Phillipe Soulé and his traveling partner Luke Shullenberger. At first, I was amazed that none of them has never sat in a kayak, but they decided to travel by this type of transport. As for me, they are brave.The guys faced with many challenges: sharks, storms and bandits, which undoubtedly tested their character and endurance. Their journey lasted three years – too long? In my opinion. I believe that the author proves in his own experience - nothing is impossible, just sometimes you have to be able to overcome your fears. I want to read other books of this author because only one his book motivated me much.
