Their Eyes Were Watching God Free Pdf

ISBN: 0061120065
Title: Their Eyes Were Watching God Pdf
Author: Zora Neale Hurston
Published Date: 2006-05-30
Page: 256

One of the most important works of twentieth-century American literature, Zora Neale Hurston's beloved 1937 classic, Their Eyes Were Watching God, is an enduring Southern love story sparkling with wit, beauty, and heartfelt wisdom. Told in the captivating voice of a woman who refuses to live in sorrow, bitterness, fear, or foolish romantic dreams, it is the story of fair-skinned, fiercely independent Janie Crawford, and her evolving selfhood through three marriages and a life marked by poverty, trials, and purpose. A true literary wonder, Hurston's masterwork remains as relevant and affecting today as when it was first published—perhaps the most widely read and highly regarded novel in the entire canon of African American literature. Zora Neale Hurston was a novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist. An author of four novels (Jonah’s Gourd Vine, 1934; Their Eyes Were Watching God, 1937; Moses, Man of the Mountain, 1939; and Seraph on the Suwanee, 1948); two books of folklore (Mules and Men, 1935, and Tell My Horse, 1938); an autobiography (Dust Tracks on a Road, 1942); and over fifty short stories, essays, and plays. She attended Howard University, Barnard College and Columbia University, and was a graduate of Barnard College in 1927. She was born on January 7, 1891, in Notasulga, Alabama, and grew up in Eatonville, Florida. She died in Fort Pierce, in 1960.  In 1973, Alice Walker had a headstone placed at her gravesite with this epitaph: “Zora Neale Hurston: A Genius of the South.” 

A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick

“A deeply soulful novel that comprehends love and cruelty, and separates the big people from the small of heart, without ever losing sympathy for those unfortunates who don’t know how to live properly.” —Zadie Smith

One of the most important and enduring books of the twentieth century, Their Eyes Were Watching God brings to life a Southern love story with the wit and pathos found only in the writing of Zora Neale Hurston. Out of print for almost thirty years—due largely to initial audiences’ rejection of its strong black female protagonist—Hurston’s classic has since its 1978 reissue become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of African-American literature.

Beautiful book My daughter read this for her AP English class and I thought I should read this classic piece of literature as I had never had the opportunity. So I bought it and could not put it down. Months later, I am still thinking about this book, envisioning the cast of characters and events in the novel. Zora Neale Hurston was such a beautiful storyteller. I can see why this book is a classic piece of literature and in my mind, it stand heads above many of the other pieces of literature of have read from this period. I cannot recommend it enough to people.Hurston opens up a space for us to envision life shortly after Emancipation - where African Americans were freed but not free. She illuminates an early Black community (true) and one of the strong women (fictional) in that community. The trials and tribulations of the many characters and the barriers they encountered - the moments of joy, happiness, and pain all grip the reader and help the reader to not only imagine but to feel what it might have felt like to live during this time in the community with the people. A masterful work.A perfect novel This must be very nearly a perfect novel, a short classic like Old Man and the Sea, Great Gatsby, Catcher in the Rye, Huckleberry Finn, with its own unique style and identity.... The racy black vernacular drives the story along while the voice of the narrator achieves levels of poetic intensity approaching myth... I found it gripping almost to the point of unputdownable from the first sentence...A Classic to discuss forever!! Book clubs & Writing Classes This is truly a classic and teachable from so many direction you will not be able to stand it. You can run a class for nearly a month discussing the levels, layers, textures, and nuances to the characters and their intentions. There are modes of language, characterization, dialect, motivation, conflict, and desire that can go on forever in a classroom or book club discussion. I fell in love with the woman with so much pain from men, but always willing to feel love. You will be entangled in the world of these people so quickly you will not believe it. I suggest you download the audible version so you can take in the dynamics of Ruby Dee reading Hurston's beautiful language.

Chromatopia Pdf

ISBN: 1760760021
Title: Chromatopia Pdf An Illustrated History of Color
Author: Coles David
Published Date: 2018-08
Page: 240

David Coles is the founder and head paint-maker of Langridge Artist Colours, one of the world’s most respected makers of artists’ oil paints. With over two decades’ experience, he is widely respected within the artist community and is regularly a guest lecturer at leading art colleges.

This origin story of history’s most vivid color pigments is perfect for artists, history buffs, science lovers, and design fanatics.

Did you know that the Egyptians created the first synthetic color and used it to create the famous blue crown of Queen Nefertiti? Or that the noblest purple comes from a predatory sea snail? In the Roman Empire, hundreds of thousands of snails had to be sacrificed to produce a single ounce of dye. Throughout history, pigments have been made from deadly metals, poisonous minerals, urine, cow dung, and even crushed insects. From grinding down beetles and burning animal bones to alchemy and pure luck, Chromatopia reveals the origin stories behind over fifty of history’s most vivid color pigments.

Featuring informative and detailed color histories, a section on working with monochromatic color, and “recipes” for paint-making, Chromatopia provides color enthusiasts with an eclectic story of how synthetic colors came to be. Red lead, for example, was invented by the ancient Greeks by roasting white lead, and it became the dominant red in medieval painting.

Spanning from the ancient world to modern leaps in technology, and vibrantly illustrated throughout, this book will add a little chroma to anyone’s understanding of the history of colors.

Netflix Nations Pdf

ISBN: 1479804940
Title: Netflix Nations Pdf The Geography of Digital Distribution (Critical Cultural Communication)
Author: Ramon Lobato
Published Date: 2019-01-08
Page: 240

Ramon Lobato is Senior Research Fellow in Media and Communication at RMIT University, Melbourne. His previous books include Shadow Economies of Cinema, The Informal Media Economy, and Geoblocking and Global Video Culture.

How streaming services and internet distribution have transformed global television culture.
 
Television, once a broadcast medium, now also travels through our telephone lines, fiber optic cables, and wireless networks. It is delivered to viewers via apps, screens large and small, and media players of all kinds. In this unfamiliar environment, new global giants of television distribution are emerging—including Netflix, the world’s largest subscription video-on-demand service.
 
Combining media industry analysis with cultural theory, Ramon Lobato explores the political and policy tensions at the heart of the digital distribution revolution, tracing their longer history through our evolving understanding of media globalization. Netflix Nations considers the ways that subscription video-on-demand services, but most of all Netflix, have irrevocably changed the circulation of media content. It tells the story of how a global video portal interacts with national audiences, markets, and institutions, and what this means for how we understand global media in the internet age.
 
Netflix Nations addresses a fundamental tension in the digital media landscape – the clash between the internet’s capacity for global distribution and the territorial nature of media trade, taste, and regulation. The book also explores the failures and frictions of video-on-demand as experienced by audiences. The actual experience of using video platforms is full of subtle reminders of market boundaries and exclusions: platforms are geo-blocked for out-of-region users (“this video is not available in your region”); catalogs shrink and expand from country to country; prices appear in different currencies; and subtitles and captions are not available in local languages. These conditions offer rich insight for understanding the actual geographies of digital media distribution.  
 
Contrary to popular belief, the story of Netflix is not just an American one. From Argentina to Australia, Netflix’s ascension from a Silicon Valley start-up to an international television service has transformed media consumption on a global scale. Netflix Nations will help readers make sense of a complex, ever-shifting streaming media environment.

One Shot At Love Free Pdf

ISBN: B07MZ7XKNC
Title: One Shot At Love Pdf A Billionaire Single Father Romance
Falling for your new boss is the best way to mess with your sanity.

Especially if she has an overprotective brother that happens to be one of my childhood friends.

And I had to figure it out the hard way.

But she’s so damn worth it.

Beautiful and curvy, bossy and rich. The woman owns the room when she walks in. Hell, she owns everything.

And though I try like hell to avoid her, she’s going to own me too soon.

I should steer clear and just focus on my little boy, but something inside of me is waking up again.

This might be my one shot at love again.

I hope like hell I’m ready for it.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

Too many words! The story was repetitive. It would repeat situations again and again. If you read the book you would not need to have each situation explained over and over and over. 69 Chapters too many words, very little action!4-Stars for Weston Parker's One Shot at Love Normally single dad & friends sister plots in the romance genre are some of my favorite reads, however, while I think Weston Parker is a fabulous author this one wasn't one of my favorites from Weston. It almost felt as some of the content was repetitive or similar to what I read earlier in the book. Adam was hesitate to get close to anyone after the death of his wife but did he really consider Bailey just anyone after all she was his childhood friends sister & now she was his boss too after Bailey purchase the resort where he worked in maintenance. Now for what I consider some of the positives with One Shot at Love; first, its written by Weston Parker & the book is emotional and pulls at your heartstrings, its exciting with lots of twists n turns, adventures & decisions to see if Bailey & Adam can reach their HEA, that especially a HEA Adam so deserves! The details Weston Parker included in this one, definitely adds to this book. Definitely Recommend One-Clicking One Shot at Love & adding it to your Kindle library.While I did receive an advance copy from the author, I also purchased the book & am voluntarily leaving my voluntary opinion with this review.An unexpected surprise. This was a really good book but it's a bit long (hence my drop in my review). There's lots of fillers which we could probably do without.First off let me tell you how I loved that Adam was a one woman man. He hadn't been with another woman since losing his wife. I find that admirable. I find this extremely satisfying. I just read We Belong Together and I absolutely hated it. But I decided to give this author another chance. I really like him and would hate to not buy more of his books.I liked Bailey. She was a tough cookie. I loved her no nonsense attitude. I love her I AM WOMAN! HEAR ME ROAR! personality. She really rocked the woman in a man's world. I would strive to be like her. I immediately loved Adam. He was the king of sexiness. He worked with his hands. He was handy at everything he did. He worshipped his son (which I loved so much). He was an all around really great guy. With most of the books out there thriving on the bad boy persona it's hard to find a really great guy. But I found him...in Adam.I like Bailey and Adam together. Their chemistry was off the hook, hella hot. I absolutely loved their interactions. Their intimate moments were sensual, warm and inviting. Caring. I liked the premise of the story but I really liked the book. I'll admit it was long but oh so satisfying. Great job.

Today I Affirm Download

ISBN: 1449495214
Title: Today I Affirm Pdf A Journal that Nurtures Self-Care
Author: Alexandra Elle
Published Date: 2019-01-08
Page: 176

Alexandra Elle is a writer and creative living in the Washington, DC metro area with her husband and two daughters. In her pre-teen years, writing came into her life by way of therapy and the exploration of healing. Many years later, Alex's voice and words are being shared poetically in the form of self-love and self-care. Her passion for storytelling, poetry, and narrative writing are infused with life lessons, self-celebration, and building community through reading, writing, and language.  

From Alex Elle, celebrated poet and author of Neon Soul and Words from a Wanderer, comes Today I Affirm—a journal and guide to reading and writing daily affirmations. 
 

Writing serves as a form of meditation. When we slow down and settle into ourselves, affirmations can assist us in self-awareness, introspection, and understanding. Today I Affirm helps walk readers through the ins and outs of cultivating positive self-talk in a way that is stress-free and easy to understand. This innovative book includes affirmations written by the author, short bits of inspiration, charts to fill in, as well as journal pages all with the focus on self-care. 

A perfect tool for self discovery I absolutely love my journal! I even gifted two to my best friend and my teenage daughter. First I love the bookmark! It adds a touch of personal belonging to it. Most of all the prompts are soft questions to answers we have the most difficult time giving. Today I Affirm is an excellent tool for getting to know yourself and developing a better relationship between you and you. Thank you Alex for digging in to your own personal woes and offering us your recipes to find our way to healing.Great add to my morning “quiet mind” routine. Wonderful tool for self-exploration and self-care! JUST BUY IT! Thank yourself later! LolI’ve found myself drawn to Alex because of her way with words. I’m so glad she created “Today I Affirm”. I appreciated “A Note To Self” because it helped me set proactive intentions for myself and I was weary of buying this journal due to not knowing what could be different. However, I’m so glad I purchased! I AM IN LOVE. The questions are short but they really force you to take time and think. There’s no quick answer, you have to quiet yourself and reflect which is amazing. My favorite section, that I find to be most challenging, would be the Affirmation Charts. Great practice.Thanks Alex for this gem! Excited to continue using.Journey to Healing I have honestly been touched by Alex’s words + self care writing practices. After experiencing trauma and years of therapy this journal of affirmations is a creative way to express myself even if it’s in a few words. It feels good to support a woman of color’s brand, being honest with how I feel without shame or guilt. To just completely journey towards healing.
