She sees one, she wants one, she must have one because, after all, her best friend has one! But she is not alone in her quest for more! No matter the age, at some point, comparison invariably enters the thought life of every individual. But, if left unbridled, what begins as a seemingly innocent comparison can eventually overtake the heart and mind of the unsuspecting and may even lead to ill-advised decisions or worse, devastating consequences. The Comparison Trap: How to Break Free, How to Stay Free exposes the often hidden subtleties and dangers inherent in the comparison trap. In this timeless, compelling work written in layman's terms, Yvonne Copeland, MSW, LCSW, skillfully intersects biblical principles and therapeutic concepts to respond headlong to the deleterious effects of the comparison trap and the negative consequences that can ensue when comparison is left unbridled and runs amok. The author not only targets the overlooked implications of entanglement in the comparison trap, but she correspondingly provides essential strategies to successfully break free and stay free from its insidious stronghold!

This epic book, spanning two continents, recounts the story of three generations of two families whose lives unexpectedly intersect in their adopted country. Beautifully capturing the loss faced when war dislocates families, it also tells of the struggles and challenges of starting anew and adapting to a different way of life. With Just One Suitcase serves as a tribute to the courage and resilience of two men who bear the scars of war and face adversity without surrendering their optimism for the future. “Cheryl Koenig is to be congratulated. She has written a masterpiece. With great skill Cheryl has written an immensely readable, gripping biog documenting daily life in a crazed world. The story begins with a thumbnail sketch of life in semi rural Romania at the outbreak of the second world war and moves on to relate the experiences, in that country, of her then youthful father & father-in-law. Many years later, in Sydney, Australia, they chance to be reunited when Cheryl nervously introduces her father to the father of her future husband. The writing is powerful, in the first person, giving the reader a fly-on-the-wall feeling of being there. Having thoroughly researched the period Cheryl is able to construe the hitherto unknown Romanian perspective with great credibility, and, as if they hadn’t already suffered enough, she goes on to relate how these amazing young men had the courage and strength to take flight and start a new life in this far flung land. That they survived at all is a miracle.” – Sylvia Levi, Goodreads review

Expanded cinema: avant-garde moving image works that claim new territory for the cinematic, beyond the bounds of familiar filmmaking practices and the traditional theatrical exhibition space. First emerging in the 1960s amidst seismic shifts in the arts, multi-screen films, live cinematic performance, light art, kinetic art, video, and computer-generated imagery - all placed under expanded cinema's umbrella - re-emerged at the dawn of the 2000s, opening a vast new horizon of possibility for the moving image, and perhaps even heralding the end of cinema as we know it. Cinema Expanded: Avant-Garde Film in the Age of Intermedia offers a bold new account of its subject, breaking from previous studies and from larger trends in film and art scholarship. Author Jonathan Walley argues that expanded cinema's apparent departure from the traditions and forms of cinema as we know it actually radically asserts cinema's nature and artistic autonomy. Walley also resituates expanded cinema within the context of avant-garde film history, linking it to a mode of filmmaking that has historically investigated and challenged the nature and limits of cinematic form. As an outgrowth of this tradition, expanded cinema offered a means for filmmakers within the avant-garde, regardless of their differing styles, formal concerns, and politics, to stake out cinema's unique aesthetic terrain - its ontology, its independence, its identity. In addition to reconsidering the better-known expanded cinema works of the 1960s and 70s by artists like Andy Warhol, Robert Whitman, and Nam June Paik, Cinema Expanded also provides the first scholarly accounts of scores of lesser-known works across more than 50 years. Making new arguments about avant-garde cinema in general and its complex meditations on the nature of cinema, it urgently addresses current and crucial debates about the fate of the moving image amidst a digital age of near-constant technological change.

Little Sounds of Silence' is a book that is a combination of poems, short stories, and articles. A few of them are my personal life experiences. The book is about people, little things, and incidents that somewhere pricked me silently and inspired me to write about them. And I do feel that most people experience similar emotions at some point in their lives. The book is suitable for readers of all age groups, be it young or old. The book is meant to inspire to move forward in the journey of life, fighting all odds and looking at the positive aspect, leaving behind what is lost, and never losing hope at trying times. The title of the book Little Sounds of Silence' appropriately explains the subject matter being written about in the book, be it poems, short stories, or articles. As silence does speak volumes, for it questions and does answer what is unanswered and is always heard.
