DEAD POET... Once Removed: The Poetic Works of Walter J Wojtanik

DEAD POET... Once Removed: The Poetic Works of Walter J Wojtanik

Walter J. Wojtanik

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2014
nidottu
Poets of all eras and ages have sought their inspiration in the vagaries of life. The concept for Walter J Wojtanik's first full poetry collection plays on these varied aspects of everyday living. From the moment we come to capture life, it becomes this passion play that waits for us to find the purpose in our years. We come to love and find love in this life and learn how to live in love with it. Explorations are made through the soundtrack of our lives, lives that are harmonious and humorous, and often taken way too seriously. It is colored by the inclusion of family and friends. Life has a definite beginning and an ultimate end. Inspired by the concept of a "Dead Poet's Society", these works of poetry peek into the window of our collective souls to find the connection that binds us together, and makes living a true adventure. The classic "dead" poets seemed to have gained a cult status many years after their passing by merely "sucking the marrow out of life" and committing it to their pages. As the title of this collection conveys, Wojtanik considers himself a humble poet once removed from being a dead poet; he is standing one step from the grave without the dread and circumstance of his actual demise. Using loving tenderness, sarcastic wit, twisted humor and heart rending emotion, Walt draws upon his personal experiences as the fodder for these verses to take that next step, still standing on solid ground... a future "Dead Poet", currently once removed.

The Secret POW Diary of Walter J. Hinkle

The Secret POW Diary of Walter J. Hinkle

SCHIFFER PUBLISHING LTD
2022
sidottu
This is the war diary of one of the longest-serving American POWs in the Pacific. Preserved within this book is the diary of Lieutenant Walter J. Hinkle. The diary begins in the spring of 1941 as he prepared for a new assignment in the Philippines. After Japan attacked the Philippines in early December, Hinkle was wounded and taken to a hospital for surgery. When the Philippines fell in May 1942, he became a prisoner of war at the Davao Penal Colony, where his wound refused to heal and his right leg was amputated below the knee. As a bed-ridden invalid, Hinkle wrote about his life as a prisoner of the Japanese. To prevent the growing diary from being confiscated by camp guards, Hinkle concealed it within a false compartment built into his wooden leg. His 136,000-word diary offers a rare and very personal account of one of the longest periods of Japanese military captivity experienced by any American during the Second World War. Hinkle's writings are supplemented by excerpts from several other diaries for context. These additional writers include a Japanese soldier, Filipino local, Bataan Death March survivor, and Davao Penal Colony escapee.

With God In Russia

With God In Russia

Walter J. Ciszek

HarperOne
2017
nidottu
Republished for a new century and featuring an afterword by Father James Martin, SJ, the classic memoir of an American-born Jesuit priest imprisoned for fifteen years in a Soviet gulag during the height of the Cold War--a poignant and spiritually uplifting story of extraordinary faith and fortitude as indelible as Unbroken. Foreword by Daniel L. Flaherty.While ministering in Eastern Europe during World War II, Polish-American priest Walter Ciszek, S.J., was arrested by the NKVD, the Russian secret police, shortly after the war ended. Accused of being an American spy and charged with "agitation with intent to subvert," he was held in Moscow's notorious Lubyanka prison for five years. The Catholic priest was then sentenced without trial to ten more years of hard labor and transported to Siberia, where he would become a prisoner within the forced labor camp system made famous in Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn's Nobel Prize--winning book The Gulag Archipelago. In With God in Russia, Ciszek reflects on his daily life as a prisoner, the labor he endured while working in the mines and on construction gangs, his unwavering faith in God, and his firm devotion to his vows and vocation. Enduring brutal conditions, Ciszek risked his life to offer spiritual guidance to fellow prisoners who could easily have exposed him for their own gains. He chronicles these experiences with grace, humility, and candor, from his secret work leading mass and hearing confessions within the prison grounds, to his participation in a major gulag uprising, to his own "resurrection"--his eventual release in a prisoner exchange in October 1963 which astonished all who had feared he was dead. Powerful and inspirational, With God in Russia captures the heroic patience, endurance, and religious conviction of a man whose life embodied the Christian ideals that sustained him.

The Presence of the Word

The Presence of the Word

Walter J. Ong

Yale University Press
2005
pokkari
This provocative exploration of the nature and history of the word in some of its social, psychological, literary, phenomenological, and religious dimensions argues that the word is initially aural and in the last analysis always remains sound; it cannot be reduced to any other category. Father Ong contends that sound is essentially an event manifesting power and personal presence, and his descriptive analysis of the development of the media of verbal expression, from their oral sources through the laborious transfer to the visual world and then to contemporary means of electronic communication, shows that the predicament of the human word is the predicament of man himself. Examining the close alliance of the spoken word with the sense of the sacred, particularly in the Hebreo-Christian tradition, he reveals that in a world where presence has penetrated time and space as never before, modern man must find the God who has given himself in the Word which brings man more into the world of sound than of sight.

The History of Modern Epilepsy

The History of Modern Epilepsy

Walter J. Friedlander

Praeger Publishers Inc
2001
sidottu
Although the history of epilepsy, one of the most common serious neurological disorders, can easily be traced back to ancient times, the modern understanding of the disease only began in the middle of the 19th century. This history of the first fifty years of modern epileptology reflects the thinking, accomplishments, and failures of physicians between 1865 and 1914. This epoch presented a very bleak clinical picture: diagnosis was difficult and often arbitrary; treatment was poor and, at times, worse than the disease; and patients, who were usually viewed as having a progressive dementing condition, were shunned by society.Tradition, physicians' immaculate perceptions, their thinking in analogies, and the difficulty a doctor has in separating himself from his society are some of the important factors which led to a lack of clinical advancement during this time. Nevertheless, taking a longer view, a foundation was being established for understanding the physiology of the brain and how that might be related to epilepsy. This book should be of interest to any professional person concerned with or involved in exploring the neurophysiology of brain functions and its deviations, the care and treatment of patience with epilepsy, and the historical and social aspects of medicine.
