Crazy White Boy: A Non-Fictional Memoir

Crazy White Boy: A Non-Fictional Memoir

Keith a. Carey

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2015
nidottu
It has been rumored this was fabricated, like top 40 music or home runs in the 1990s. Keith A. Carey is funny, flawed, and thinks he might want to help you, but only after 1 PM in good weather. He was good at one thing for a decade - getting drunk to the bejeezus belt. Beyond redemption or salvation, impervious to correction; there was to be no sobriety date, yet another rehab stay, and mundane crawl back into society's good graces. There was only to be the end of life as he knew it. This was to come via a pawn shop 9 mm handgun at The Grotto.Fate intervenes as Carey relates in both grim and hilarious fashion; a man who had hit his bottom and needed to kill a pain that alcohol could not. No ordinary book and certainly not a boring individual, Carey bounces and weaves as if writing a Tarintino script. It's all true, except when it's obviously one of his absurd creations designed to amuse.Sure to be a classic, alongside other books which are collecting dust in America's basements. Some would compare it to "A Fan's Notes" or a very poor man's "The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". The theme is recovery from alcohol abuse, which made Carey's defects and problems multiply just short of death.The interweaving true stories feature his family vacations, peculiar friends, golfing accidents, a world famous strip club, time in a psych ward, problems with cats (and women), and a few borrowed catch phrases from TV and the movies. His only regret is not getting electro-shocked while decompressing at the funny farm ... if only he could have been born 30 years earlier. A force higher than reason spared his life and he claims this is why he feels he has a story worth converting into a book. Sobriety doesn't equal sanity in the most entertaining non-fiction book since "Eat This" by Dom DeLuise. He survived a hell of his own making and is now ready to fulfill his true destiny. There is no law to state who can be a parent. Maybe there needs to be one on who is allowed to write a book. That's a joke, son.

MARK and the MAN: The Gospel of Mark: a New Age Commentary for the new Christianity

MARK and the MAN: The Gospel of Mark: a New Age Commentary for the new Christianity

Keith A. Williams

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
nidottu
This book on the Gospel of Mark follows the form of a traditional commentary on scripture but illuminates the Gospel with information gained through channeled contact with extraterrestrials. This includes information about Jesus and the Gospels not known before, as well as what is known about the universe. The last 25% of the original Gospel by Mark was lost by accident before it could be copied, and now channeled information reveals the nature of the resurrection of Jesus and details his after death appearances that were recorded in the lost material. MARK and the MAN gives the much-needed "big picture" of the universe, one that includes the metaphysical realm, the seven levels of consciousness, called densities, and the two pathways of evolution up through those levels. Jesus was a spiritual individual of the highest love density who chose to return to earth to carry out a mission to combat negativity that included martyrdom. In MARK and the MAN, the author reveals for the first time Jesus' own religion of the Father and the universal brotherhood of the children of God, who are all people, and how it was quickly distorted by the early church. The book explains how many of Jesus' miracles occurred. The Gospels were written by humans with points of view, and this book points out their agendas with well-founded explanations. Most of all, this ground-breaking book reveals the scientific truth about the resurrection and gives details of Jesus' appearances in his resurrected form not in the original gospels. MARK and the MAN reveals who wrote the mysterious Q document, and ends the book with a chapter assessing the validity of memories in an oral society with some surprising results. This book will appeal to those who are looking for a new outlook on the religion and life of Jesus, especially participants in Emergence Christianity. Lastly, each chapter ends with study questions that will help familiarize readers with the concepts in this book, that as one of a kind, blends Christianity with science and channeled information for the modern information age. Written for Christians and others alike, this unique book will appeal to those who seek to know what is real in life and religion.

A Way Forward: A Path of Progress from Promise to Possession

A Way Forward: A Path of Progress from Promise to Possession

Keith a. Beasley

Independently Published
2014
nidottu
Our individual and collective purpose is to pursue the promises of God and God's purpose it to keep God's promises. But the most recent financial crisis has made it much more difficult for a growing number of people to adequately pursue and attain the promises of God. This has led to heightened senses of anxiety, insecurity and inferiority as many people face dwindling prospects and limited opportunities for advancement.In A Way Forward Keith Beasley retells the story of the biblical Exodus in a way that captures its paradigmatic power and reveals a path of progress that leads toward the promises of God. Combining self-help with spiritual insight and social responsibility Keith Beasley contends that we have to be willing to undergo personal change in order to qualify ourselves for promotion. But when personal changes are not enough because of policies and procedures, perceptions and prejudices that effectively work against us we have to believe that God will intervene in order to liberate and deliver us from whatever or whoever is impeding our ability to pursue and attain the promises of God.Then, we have to be willing to partner with God and by extension others by actively participating in not only our own liberation and deliverance but that of others as well. In the end, we'll not only glorify God by pursuing and attaining the promises of God but we'll become living manifestations of God who take on the interventionist's character of God. A way forward is available, progress is achievable, and the biblical Exodus is a road map. Read A Way Forward, and begin moving toward the promises of God

A People's History of Silicon Valley

A People's History of Silicon Valley

Keith A. Spencer

Eyewear Publishing
2018
nidottu
Regardless of where you live or work, Silicon Valley undoubtedly touches your life; indeed, the tech industry’s ubiquitous gadgets promise us more efficiency, convenience and fun. Yet despite Silicon Valley’s utopian promise, more and more of us find ourselves addicted to our smartphones, made insecure by social media, and alarmed at how tech companies profit off our personal data. And while Silicon Valley’s CEOs are often viewed as visionary prophets, their companies’ policies have sown social discord around the world, led to mass evictions in the Bay Area, and perhaps enabled far-right nationalist parties in the Western World. A People’s History of Silicon Valley follows the history of the people exploited, displaced, and made obsolete by the tech industry, from the colonization of the Bay Area to the present day. From the first Macintosh to the rise of social media, A People’s History of Silicon Valley peels back the curtain on an industry that brands itself as visionary yet which may be chipping away at the foundations of society, including our democratic institutions.

The A to Z of the Contemporary United Kingdom

The A to Z of the Contemporary United Kingdom

Kenneth J. Panton; Keith A. Cowlard

Scarecrow Press
2010
nidottu
The last quarter of a century, from 1979 to 2007, has been eventful for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The year 1979 brought major changes to the United Kingdom, in particular when the political climate altered radically with the coming to power of the Conservatives under Margaret Thatcher following the disastrous "Winter of Discontent," which was characterized by economic woes and labor unrest. In 1997, the political climate shifted once again when the New Labour party won a landslide victory and the government was run by the left-leaning centrist, Tony Blair. The period witnessed conflicts raging both at home and abroad, it saw the premature death of a princess, and, more positively, the reemergence of the UK economy. The A to Z of Contemporary United Kingdom seeks to present the events, people, and trends of the last 28 years and to help explain the current state of the United Kingdom. Knowledge of this is vital to understanding the society, politics, personalities, and actions that are shaping the country right now. This is done through a chronology dating from 1979 to the present, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 700 cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, places, events, institutions, and organizations, as well as the political, economic, social, cultural, and religious facets.

Landowners in Colonial Peru

Landowners in Colonial Peru

Keith A. Davies

University of Texas Press
1984
nidottu
In 1540 a small number of Spaniards founded the city of Arequipa in southwestern Peru. These colonists, later immigrants, and their descendants devoted considerable energy to exploiting the surrounding area. At first, like many other Spaniards in the Americas, they relied primarily on Indian producers; by the late 1500s they had acquired land and established small farms and estates. This, the first study to examine the agrarian history of a region in South America from the mid-sixteenth through late-seventeenth century, demonstrates that colonials exploited the countryside as capitalists. They ran their rural enterprises as efficiently as possible, expanded their sources of credit and labor, tapped widespread markets, and lobbied strenuously to influence the royal government. The reasons for such behavior have seldom been explored beyond the colonists’ evident need to sustain themselves and their dependents.Arequipa’s case suggests another fundamental cause of capitalist behavior in colonial South America: rural wealth was inextricably tied to the colonists’ desire to reinforce and improve their stature. Arequipa’s Spanish families of the upper and middle social levels consistently employed land and its proceeds to attract prominent spouses, to acquire prestigious political and military posts, and to enhance their standing by becoming benefactors of the Church. They rarely lost sight of the crucial role that wealth played in their lives. Thus, when the region’s economy flourished, as it did during the late 1500s, they expanded and improved their holdings. When it faltered at the beginning of the next century, they made every effort to retain properties, even fragmenting land to accommodate family members and new spouses. Unlike patterns sometimes suggested for Spanish America, many Arequipan colonial families possessed land and retained it over many generations. Neither the increasingly rich Church nor a few powerful persons managed to build up extensive estates.Landowners in Colonial Peru explains how and why rural property became so important. It emphasizes both the capitalist bent of Hispanics and the manner in which wealth served social aspirations. The approach makes clear that many of the economic and social characteristics so often attributed to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Latin Americans were present from the early Colonial period.

Charles Darwin and The Origin of Species

Charles Darwin and The Origin of Species

Keith A. Francis

Greenwood Press
2006
sidottu
In 1859, an amateur British naturalist published a book of findings that shook the scientific community to its core and changed the structure of religion and science as we know them. The product of over 20 years of research, The Origin of Species challenged the popular belief that species could not evolve and argued that species can adapt to their environment and develop accordingly. Although other scientists had observed some of the phenomena that Charles Darwin addressed, he was the first to theorize that natural selection, and later, evolution, were viable explanations for the origins of life. The implications of Darwin's findings still reverberate today, in the classroom, in the courtroom, and at the highest legislative levels.Lively thematic chapters explore how Darwin came to the conclusions published in The Origin of Species—and in later works such as The Descent of Man—from his early years at Cambridge, to his observations of species on the HMS Beagle voyages, through the 20 years of research that culminated in Origin. Also included is an insightful discussion of Darwin's impact as it is felt today, from movies and popular culture to the current Intelligent Design controversy. Biographies of influential figures, primary source letters and selections from Origin, a glossary of terms, and an extensive annotated bibliography round out this accessible work.

Intellectuals and the Left in France Since 1968

Intellectuals and the Left in France Since 1968

Keith A. Reader

Palgrave Macmillan
1987
sidottu
Lacan, Althusser, Derrida, Foucault - the currency of these names in the world of modern thought is widespread. But all too often in the English-speaking world their work and ideas are considered without reference to the context in which they were produced, and this is the gap that this new study sets out to fill. The major revaluation of what constituted the 'political', set in train by the 1968 events is a key theme here, and the work of the best-known French intellectual figures of the time both illuminates and is illuminated by it. But it is not just a new reading of already familiar figures that the reader will find in this work. Writers little-known in the English-speaking world, or hitherto not extensively treated in English, receive similar contextualising attention, so that the recent upsurge in sociology or the impact of a dissident Marxist such as Henri Lefebvre take their place alongside better-known figures in the first book-length English-language survey of one of the most exciting, and often bewildering, periods in European intellectual history.

The May 1968 Events in France

Palgrave Macmillan
1993
sidottu
The multiple impact of the May 1968 events in France is here reviewed and analysed, initially through a narrative account of the events themselves and then through a systematic survey of the various manners in which they have been interpreted and reproduced in France. This covers successively political, social/sociological, and cultural texts - first-hand accounts along with works by political activists and academic social scientists - before moving to a consideration of fictional works (novels and feature films) dealing with or set during the events.
