A Milne, with his characteristic self-deprecating humour, recalls a blissfully happy childhood in the company of his brothers and writes with touching affection about his father whom he adored. From Westminster School he won a scholarship to Cambridge University where he edited the university magazine, Granta. He then went out into the world, determined to be a writer. He was assistant editor at Punch Magazine and enjoyed great success with his novels, plays and stories. And of course he is best remembered for his children’s novels and verses featuring Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin. This is both an account of how a writer was formed and a charming period piece on literary life – Milne met countless famous authors including H. G.

Download or read book It's Too Late Now What! written by Shenandoah and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Somewhere out there-way out there, somewhere between Buddha and the last of the wild places, this book came to life. In today's terms it might be called a cyber dropout manual. It revisits mankind's sixth sense. Nobody gets left out. Nothing is sacred. Political correctness is boring. Welcome back to the natural world for an end-of-the-world party. A party that kicks out electronic drugs and avoids the hangover. More than three hundred single panel cartoons, several soul-moving essays, a goodly mix of profound poetry from outer space and inner sanctities. This collection is something trippily unique in the way of mirrors for a modern mankind. Well traveled, very hip philosophic Zen humor-with American Taoist roots. Entwines the human galaxy into a soulful dunking with the wise and timeless Starman-who appears as protagonist with delightful unexpectedness. We are constantly elated at the potentials for coming home to no more progress. Prof Shenandoah's daily cartoons create an intriguing philosophic diary of sorts. The artwork is created in a blindfold mind tradition-pure Zen, silent senses Tao. Each drawing is a one-time, no corrections allowed, shot at the bullseye of instinctive wisdom. Challenging, non-conformist philosophy at its finest. It's our invitation to contemplate our potentials in a post-cyber lifeway, a personally fashionable peace in the guts of our own true being. It's the nearest thing to having a 'how to' handbook that transcends bibles, bayonets and bullshit. No more "going forward" on another system's lieing, two-faced treadmill. This book stops here as it goes everywhere. You may be the next winner to hook up with the vast potential lurking in the improbability of it all. Laughter prevails. Love is everywhere.

Download or read book Too Early, Too Late, Now What? written by David L. Hawk and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-11-07 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contents presented here are not intended to make humans feel good about themselves, nor their futures. It provides little support to business as usual in relations between humans and nature. Many depict this relation with metaphorical hope as in always seeing glasses as half-full. Others are more pessimistic and see glasses as half-empty. Neither will find comfort herein. The reality outlined herein is closer to a glass as empty, and covered with stains. While harsh, continuance of ever-expanding environmental deterioration promises to be much harsher. One consequence of deterioration is climate change as it emerged in 1977 near the end of a study presented in this book. Climate change was a proposed consequence of the way in which humans lived via ever expanding industrialization to meet growing human needs and exploding human wants. The study began with a focus on approaches to regulating industrialization pollution. Increasing legalistic regulation was then seen as the best means to control expanding deterioration of the environment, if and when the situation might become dire. Tougher laws and stricter governance were presumed to be available to protect the conditions necessary for life. The study was begun in 1975 while based at the Stockholm School of Economics, Institute of International Business. It was funded by corporate and governmental interests. It attracted leaders from the private and public sectors in several countries. Company selections were based on those who owned production facilities in several countries, facilities with similar technology making similar products resulting in similar pollution. In this way we could document pollution flows in order to evaluate differing governmental regulations. Results surprised all involved, including the researchers. The US was presumed to be very effective in environmental pollution regulations. Research results showed the opposite. It was found to rely too much on unknowledgeable lawyers and incomprehensible legalese all based on reductionist analysis in search of cause-effect logic. Significant success was instead found where the role of 2-dimensional paper laws was greatly restricted. Such was replaced by the authority of human self-governance pursuing 3-dimensional innovation with recognition of 4-dimensional limitations. Study results recommended replacing legal order with a negotiated order. This was thought to better track the systemic processes of deterioration, processes the analytic couldn’t see. This was seen to have encouraged the needed business as unusual. Results were presented to OECD as part of their discussion of different approaches to managing environmental deterioration. Results were also presented in a dissertation for a PhD in Systems Sciences, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Reviewers were concerned about two items. First was that environmental deterioration may be better understood via deeper analysis, not broader synthesis. Second was that climate change evolving from further environmental deterioration was speculative. It needed to be dropped. In addition, the Wharton dean of the time refused to approve the work. He did not see a relation between environmental deterioration and business, and he believed students needed to concentrate on business as usual before wondering off into the unusual. Since that time relations between man and nature have not improved, nor have relations between men and between men and themselves. We now face the ultimate of Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 and Gregory Bateson’s Double Bind. Business as usual will end in no business. The essence of the 1979 work was recently tested via posting a question on the Member Community Blog Site of the 120,000 member American Association for the Advancement of Science. The question was: Humans are changing the context for life on our planet to the negative. Does anyone see a source for hope? More than 800 responses were posted by scientists. Few saw evidences for hope in the current human project as climate changed. David Hawk has been a professor in many universities in many countries. He serves as senior advisor to several major international firms. He advises a group of female-led firms in China just now that work to demonstrate the potential of the feminine to solve problems of the masculine. He has been a university dean and written on many subjects. His awards include the IBM International Professor of the Year.
