I'm beginning to feel like a parent who has had a string of boy babies, and is hoping the next one is a girl
(or vice-versa)! Maybe my next post will be on Music or Poetry, so keep your fingers crossed!!
The new review that was added this time is "The Surprising Power of not Knowing What to do: Discovering Creativity and
Compassion in a Time of Chaos," a book for leaders and mangers of the modern world by Jay Gordon Cone, Ph.D.
In a world more frequently impacted than ever before by major change causing factors like global warming, pandemics,
environmental damage, natural-resource depletion, etc. workplace culture has evolved into one where leaders and managers
are often faced with problems at work in which they find themselves "stuck," or unable to find solutions forward.
This invaluable book shows how they can come "unstuck" in such situations and proceed, as usual.
This review is of Robert Allyn Goldman's book "The Slammer: A Critique of Prison Overpopulation, a menacing
flaw in American culture," an authoritative exposition of the deplorable plight of prisons in the USA today. The author writes out of his own
experiences while serving as a dentist in some of America's "maximum-security" prisons (i.e. prisons holding the most dangerous criminals).
Julie is a gifted musician. I found her rendition of Simon & Garfunkel's "The Boxer" exceptional.
She has also sung covers of songs by The Beatles, John Denver, Chordettes, Billy Joel, etc., apart from Simon & Garfunkel hits.
On the 'BOOKS' page, you'll find my review of The Point After
by Sean Conley National Football League (NFL) fame.
If you remember, in the 1990s he played kicker for NFL teams: the Detroit Lions, the Indianapolis Colts,
the New York Jets, and the Scottish Claymores of Europe.
A short, three years after entering the NFL, Sean's career was cut short by bodily injury—forever!
This is his inspiring memoir that tells us how he survived the loss of NFL and made a great comeback in
life by sheer perseverance, grit, and resilience.
There's a new book review on the 'BOOKS' page. It's titled Rangers Go To War!
by British author Walt Roberts—an an adventure story for the "Child Within" us. This book is reminiscent of adventure stories written by Enid Blyton.
The plight of abandoned and orphaned children, particularly those aged below five is heart-wrenching. This book seeks to bring us up-to-date about the condition of such kids, first in the USA, but also about afflicted kids all over the world.
There's a new book review on the "BOOKS" page. The book is
"A Midsummer Night's Dream: Silly Shakespeare for Students," by
Paul Leonard Murry, a great English language learning resource
for ESL/EFL learners (any age) and native English learners aged 10-15.
The 'POETRY' page has grown with the addition of a story about the poet James Elroy Flecker to it. There's a little background explaining why I like Flecker's poetry, involving the legendary businessman of India, late JRD Tata, for whom Flecker's poem "The Golden Journey to Samarkand," was a big favorite.
The 'MUSIC' page has a new, strikingly beautiful song cover by Tom Roush! It's titled "Cliffs of Dooneen." (Written by Jack McAuliffe.)
A book review was posted. The new book is titled The Quantum Psychiatrist
(author: Dr. Dona Biswas) and it's an essential read.
