There are those unique individuals who can view life -- all of its triumphs, tragedies, people, places and events -- and put those observations in a written form that moves or inspires us. Andrew J. Eaton has encapsulated life's ups and downs and, from his soulspeak, created a poetic and beautiful rendering in Poetry in Motion or Speedbumps of Life. This anthology of poetry explores the territories of the human psyche -- love, loss, joy, grief and forgiveness. Gleaning inspiration from his own personal life lessons, Eaton gets to the core of human emotion -- how pain can be a path toward healing, how losing love can inspire one to love him or herself, how music, works of art, films and everyday happenings can inspire us to take a leap of faith, and how the humanness in others can make us realize how we are all the same -- we want to be loved, listened to, and feel a connection to the world. Poetry in Motion or Speedbumps of Life is a collection of work to be savored slowly, with reflection and a calm and open spirit. After reading, you may just realize your own dreams are truly possible.

Original poems, reflections, lyrics and short stories by the author. Black and white photos are included.

You know that moment when you just sit back and think about life and say to yourself, "where would I be right now if I would've made different decisions in my past? If I would've made a right turn instead of a left, where would I be standing right now? If I would've driven just a little bit slower and actually enjoyed the trip I was taking? That moment when someone told me not to do something and I did it anyway." Should you regret some of the things you've done in your life? Maybe if you wouldn't have done those things, your life would be better, maybe even worse. We've all done things in our past that we aren't proud of, but we just have to move past those things and continue forward. Sometimes it's the small things that affect your life in a major way and the big things may have no effect at all. Should you tip toe through life, remaining cautious at every turn you make? Or should you put the pedal to the metal and roll over every speed bump you encounter. Take a second to think. If you had the choice to change your past, what would you change? Would you change the way you reacted to someone who disrespected you? How different do you think the outcome would be? Would that one moment of retaliation be worth all of the trouble it may cause? All in all, It's not about where you come from, but where you want to go. Never be a product of your environment. If you believe in god, I don't think he wants you to fail in life. Just think about all the things that you go through and make it out of with no problems. He has a plan for everyone, and they are all different. He doesn't have a plan for anyone to fall and never get back up. Just trust and believe in yourself and know you can accomplish great things. Never belittle yourself and say what you can't do. Never say you regret the decisions that you've made in your life and never say you wish you could turn back the hands of time. There is nothing wrong with your life, you just have to gra

In this laugh-out-loud funny and inspiring autobiography, one of Hollywood’s best-loved comediennes muses about movies, men, motherhood, and MS In a book that is at once Hollywood hilarious and personally moving, Teri Garr, star of such classic films as Young Frankenstein, Oh God!, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Mr. Mom, and Tootsie, for which she received an Academy Award nomination, writes about her life with the same wit and warmth that have won the hearts of fans for over three decades.

First published in 1956, "The Ascent of Rum Doodle" quickly became a mountaineering classic. As an outrageously funny spoof about the ascent of a peak in the Himalayas, many thought it was inspired by the 1953 conquest of Everest. But Bowman had drawn on the flavor and tone of earlier adventures, of Bill Tilman and his 1937 account of the Nandi Devi expedition. The book's central and unforgettable character, Binder, is one of the finest creations in comic literature.

The experience of movement, of moving through buildings, cities, landscapes and in everyday life, is the only involvement most individuals have with the built environment on a daily basis. User experience is so often neglected in architectural study and practice. Architecture and Movement tackles this complex subject for the first time, providing the wide range of perspectives needed to tackle this multi-disciplinary topic. Organised in four parts it: documents the architect’s, planner’s, or designer’s approach, looking at how they have sought to deploy buildings as a promenade and how they have thought or written about it. concentrates on the individual’s experience, and particularly on the primacy of walking, which engages other senses besides the visual. engages with society and social rituals, and how mutually we define the spaces through which we move, both by laying out routes and boundaries and by celebrating thresholds. analyses how we deal with promenades which are not experienced directly but via other mediums such as computer models, drawings, film and television. The wide selection of contributors include academics and practitioners and discuss cases from across the US, UK, Europe and Asia. By mingling such disparate voices in a carefully curated selection of chapters, the book enlarges the understanding of architects, architectural students, designers and planners, alerting them to the many and complex issues involved in the experience of movement.
