Download The Anchor Book of New American Short Stories Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
“In twenty-nine separate but ingenious ways, these stories seek permanent residence within a reader. They strive to become an emotional or intellectual cargo that might accompany us wherever, or however, we go. . . . If we are made by what we read, if language truly builds people into what they are, how they think, the depth with which they feel, then these stories are, to me, premium material for that construction project. You could build a civilization with them.” —Ben Marcus, from the Introduction Award-winning author of Notable American Women Ben Marcus brings us this engaging and comprehensive collection of short stories that explore the stylistic variety of the medium in America today.

Download The Anchor Book of Modern Arabic Fiction Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This dazzling anthology features the work of seventy-nine outstanding writers from all over the Arab-speaking world, from Morocco in the west to Iraq in the east, Syria in the north to Sudan in the south. Edited by Denys Johnson-Davies, called by Edward Said “the leading Arabic-to-English translator of our time,” this treasury of Arab voices is diverse in styles and concerns, but united by a common language. It spans the full history of modern Arabic literature, from its roots in western cultural influence at the end of the nineteenth century to the present-day flowering of Naguib Mahfouz’s literary sons and daughters. Among the Egyptian writers who laid the foundation for the Arabic literary renaissance are the great Tawfik al-Hakim; the short story pioneer Mahmoud Teymour; and Yusuf Idris, who embraced Egypt’s vibrant spoken vernacular. An excerpt from the Sudanese writer Tayeb Salih’s novel Season of Migration to the North, one of the Arab world’s finest, appears alongside the Libyan writer Ibrahim al-Koni’s tales of the Tuaregs of North Africa, the Iraqi writer Mohamed Khudayir’s masterly story “Clocks Like Horses,” and the work of such women writers as Lebanon’s Hanan al-Shaykh and Morocco’s Leila Abouzeid.

Download Ground Anchors and Anchored Structures Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Treating anchorages as a direct application of the laws of statics and the theories governing the transfer of load, this book focuses on designs that are safe and reasonably priced. It is divided into two parts. Following a general introduction in the first chapter, Part One goes on to explore anchor systems, components, installation and construction details. Presents special anchor systems such as extractable, compression-type, multibell, and regroutable anchors. Analyzes the transfer of load and its relation to failure modes and anchor load capacity; deals with design considerations; covers mechanisms and types of corrosion; and details anchor stressing, testing programs, and evaluation standards. Part Two considers uses and applications and design aspects of anchored structures; presents design examples of practical value and reasonable simplicity; and incorporates examples and case histories.

An anchor holds a boat steady, keeps it in place, stops it from drifting away. What holds us steady when life gets hard? What are we anchored to? These are the questions I was thinking about as I put this book together. My heart is that these words will bring you hope and peace as you read them. 'Abbie has such a gift when it comes to words. As I read through her book for the first time, I found myself feeling a whole range of emotions. I felt seen and known, I felt affirmed and comforted, and I felt hope rising in my heart. This is a book to take your time over. Don't rush through each poem. Instead, sit with the words and let the truth really impact your heart and mind. In a world where so much is changing all the time, this book is full of inspiration and hope to anchor your soul. I am so proud of Abbie for the many hours she has given to producing this book. I know that the words within it will have a deep and profound effect on many people's lives. I pray you will enjoy the journey.' Wendy Mann // wendymannequip.com // Author of Naturally Supernatural and Leading as Sons and Daughters 'I'm not sure if this is a term or not, but somehow it seems to sum up what this book is full of and it's creative wisdom. The words Abbie chooses and the way she uses them is beautiful. This is the sort of book that you want to keep by the side of your bed to read a page a night or when you wake up in the morning. Anchor really will take you to somewhere deeper and you'll really be richer for reading it.'

The decorative and creative possibilities of freestyle embroidery are explored to the fullest in this indispensable book.

Celebration designs, fantastic flowers and lovely landscapes will inspire the embroiderer to begin extending their stitch repertoire today.
