Hopefully, this book finds you celebrating your proofs of life.
Your personal beliefs and opinions that signify you're still alive
and kicking! If not, perhaps these poems will inspire you to
explore and declare whatever defines your own Proof of Life. "Cause
it's not just a heartbeat that proves you're alive, but also what
flows from within it and thrives."
Based on the premise that "todays collectibles are tomorrows'
antiques," how can we identify valuable buttons of the twentieth
century? This book is both a history and pictorial review of
clothing buttons left over at the close of an elegant twentieth
century store. This glimpse and their historical context should
help collectors gain a working outline of what was produced and
sold during the 1940 to 1990's in the Southern Texas region of the
USA. A bonus is the inclusion of many of the favored recipes from
the Tea Room.
God has truly, poetically enhanced the actual pages of my mind.
During the course of writing this book; I asked God as in II
Timothy 1: 6 to stir up the gift that was inside of me. I can truly
say that God has done just that. From the style of my writing to
the message and even in my walk with Christ, there has been a
spiritual growth. To God be the glory! I pray this book inspires
and encourages you greatly; so that this labor of love will not be
in vain. Yours in Christ, Sandra Jackson
This book was conceived through trials, victories and personal
losses. Thata s why it was truly a labor of love. I was taught of
the Lord; through a sparrow and other events of my life, that "He
is faithful that promised." Heb. 10:23.
This critical collection covers a broad spectrum of works, both
literary and cinematic, and issues from writers, directors, and
artists who claim the science fiction, speculative fiction, and
Afro-futurist genres. The anthology extends the discursive
boundaries of science fiction by examining iconic writers like
Octavia Butler, Walter Mosley, and Nalo Hopkinson through the lens
of ecofeminist veganism, post-9/11 racial geopolitics, and the
effect of the computer database on human voice and agency.
Contributors expand what the field characterizes as speculative
fiction by examining for the first time the vampire tropes present
in Audre Lorde's poetry, and by tracing her influence on the horror
fiction of Jewelle Gomez. The collection moves beyond exploration
of literary fiction to study the Afro-futurist representations of
Blacks in comic books, in the Star Trek franchise, in African
films, and in blockbuster films like Independence Day, I Robot, and
I Am Legend.
