Love You More - PDF
نویسندگان: Lisa Gardner خلاصه: Who do you love?It‟s a question anyone should be able to answer. A question that defines a life, creates afuture, guides most minutes of one‟s days. Simple, elegant, encompassing.Who do you love?He asked the question, and I felt the answer in the weight of my duty belt, the constrictiveconfines of my armored vest, the tight brim of my trooper‟s hat, pulled low over my brow. Ireached down slowly, my fingers just brushing the top of my Sig Sauer, holstered at my hip.“Who do you love?” he cried again, louder now, more insistent.My fingers bypassed my state-issued weapon, finding the black leather keeper that heldmy duty belt to my waist. The Velcro rasped loudly as I unfastened the first band, then thesecond, third, fourth. I worked the metal buckle, then my twenty pound duty belt, complete withmy sidearm, Taser, and collapsible steel baton released from my waist and dangled in the spacebetween us.“Don‟t do this,” I whispered, one last shot at reason.He merely smiled. “Too little, too late.”“Where‟s Sophie? What did you do?”“Belt. On the table. Now.”“No.”“GUN. On the table. NOW!”In response, I widened my stance, squaring off in the middle of the kitchen, duty belt stillsuspended from my left hand. Four years of my life, patrolling the highways of Massachusetts,swearing to defend and protect. I had training and experience on my side.I could go for my gun. Commit to the act, grab the Sig Sauer, and start shooting.Sig Sauer was holstered at an awkward angle that would cost me precious seconds. Hewas watching, waiting for any sudden movement. Failure would be firmly and terribly punished.Who do you love?He was right. That‟s what it came down to in the end. Who did you love and how muchwould you risk for them?“GUN!” he boomed. “Now, dammit!”I thought of my six-year-old daughter, the scent of her hair, the feel of her skinny armswrapped tight around my neck, the sound of her voice as I tucked her in bed each night. “Loveyou, Mommy,” she always whispered.Love you, too, baby. Love you.His arm moved, first tentative stretch for the suspended duty belt, my holstered weapon.One last chance …I looked my husband in the eye. A single heartbeat of time.Who do you love?I made my decision. I set down my trooper‟s belt on the kitchen table.And he grabbed my Sig Sauer and opened fire.

The Cambridge Dover Wilson Shakespeare, Volume 03: As You Like It - PDF
The Cambridge Dover Wilson Shakespeare, Volume 03: As You Like It - PDF
نویسندگان: William Shakespeare, Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch (editor), John Dover Wilson (editor) خلاصه: John Dover Wilson's New Shakespeare, published between 1921 and 1966, became the classic Cambridge edition of Shakespeare's plays and poems until the 1980s. The series, long since out-of-print, is now reissued. Each work is available both individually and as a set, and each contains a lengthy and lively introduction, main text, and substantial notes and glossary printed at the back. The edition, which began with The Tempest and ended with The Sonnets, put into practice the techniques and theories that had evolved under the 'New Bibliography'. Remarkably by today's standards, although it took the best part of half a century to produce, the New Shakespeare involved only a small band of editors besides Dover Wilson himself. As the volumes took shape, many of Dover Wilson's textual methods acquired general acceptance and became an established part of later editorial practice, for example in the Arden and New Cambridge Shakespeares.

Healing Psalms: The Dialogues with God That Help You Cope with Life - PDF
نویسندگان: Joshua O. Haberman خلاصه: A prominent rabbi shows how to apply the wisdom of the Psalms in our daily livesTraditionally attributed to King David, among others, the book of Psalms collects 150 songs in praise of the Lord-songs that contain some of the Bible's most beautiful and inspiring verses. Now, one of America's most esteemed rabbis elucidates the meaning of the Psalms and explains how their healing wisdom can help us in our everyday lives. Examining each of the Psalms in turn, Rabbi Joshua Haberman shows how these "dialogues with God" offer comfort in our struggles to cope with adversity and improve our lot in life, whether we're seeking deliverance from suffering, giving praise for our good fortune, or commemorating a special occasion. Though this is the only mainstream book on the Psalms written by a rabbi, the book is for people of all spiritual traditions-Jews, Christians, and people of any tradition who want to tap into the healing power of the Psalms.Joshua O. Haberman (Washington, DC) is President of the Foundation for Jewish Studies. The former Senior Rabbi at the Washington Hebrew Congregation, he has preached at the White House and at the nationally televised memorial service to honor victims of 9/11.

As You Like It (Bloom's Shakespeare Through the Ages) - PDF
As You Like It (Bloom's Shakespeare Through the Ages) - PDF
نویسندگان: Frederick D. Lipman خلاصه: hakespeare Through the Ages presents not the most current of Shakespearecriticism, but the best of Shakespeare criticism, from the seventeenth centuryto today. In the process, each volume also charts the flow over time of criticaldiscussion of a particular play. Other useful and fascinating collections of his-torical Shakespearean criticism exist, but no collection that we know of containssuch a range of commentary on each of Shakespeare’s greatest plays and at thesame time emphasizes the greatest critics in our literary tradition: from JohnDryden in the seventeenth century, to Samuel Johnson in the eighteenth cen-tury, to William Hazlitt and Samuel Coleridge in the nineteenth century, toA.C. Bradley and William empson in the twentieth century, to the most per-ceptive critics of our own day. This canon of Shakespearean criticism empha-sizes aesthetic rather than political or social analysis.Some of the pieces included here are full-length essays; others are excerptsdesigned to present a key point. Much (but not all) of the earliest criticismconsists only of brief mentions of specific plays. In addition to the classics ofcriticism, some pieces of mainly historical importance have been included, oftento provide background for important reactions from future critics.These volumes are intended for students, particularly those just beginningtheir explorations of Shakespeare. We have therefore also included basicmaterials designed to provide a solid grounding in each play: a biography ofShakespeare, a synopsis of the play, a list of characters, and an explication ofkey passages. In addition, each selection of the criticism of a particular centurybegins with an introductory essay discussing the general nature of that century’scommentary and the particular issues and controversies addressed by criticspresented in the volume.
