Book excerpt: In a fast-paced and frantic world, it feels like the most important thing is getting from point A to point B as fast as possible. But sometimes, the urgency of the modern world makes us forget that the journey is just as important too - even if the journey is seemingly as simple as the route the bus takes every day. As a transit bus driver, Claude Boucher ferries passengers from every walk of life. He connects with each of his passengers as best he can, sharing with them their highs and their lows as they traverse through life. In Claude and His Bus, his passion for his work and kindness toward his passengers shines through, showing that there is still room for positivity and laughter in an otherwise busy society. From late-night drunken passengers to lost Canadian immigrants, Claude has seen it all, and his heart has done nothing but grow with compassion. Join Claude as he tells over sixty stories of his time as a public transit driver. From hilarious to heartwarming, his experiences are a feel-good reminder that even something as small as a smile and a “thank you” can change the trajectory of someone’s entire day.

Download or read book We Are All Cannibals written by Claude Lévi-Strauss and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Christmas Eve 1951, Santa Claus was hanged and then publicly burned outside of the Cathedral of Dijon in France. That same decade, ethnologists began to study the indigenous cultures of central New Guinea, and found men and women affectionately consuming the flesh of the ones they loved. "Everyone calls what is not their own custom barbarism," said Montaigne. In these essays, Claude Lévi-Strauss shows us behavior that is bizarre, shocking, and even revolting to outsiders but consistent with a people's culture and context. These essays relate meat eating to cannibalism, female circumcision to medically assisted reproduction, and mythic thought to scientific thought. They explore practices of incest and patriarchy, nature worship versus man-made material obsessions, the perceived threat of art in various cultures, and the innovations and limitations of secular thought. Lévi-Strauss measures the short distance between "complex" and "primitive" societies and finds a shared madness in the ways we enact myth, ritual, and custom. Yet he also locates a pure and persistent ethics that connects the center of Western civilization to far-flung societies and forces a reckoning with outmoded ideas of morality and reason.

Download or read book W.C. Fields by Himself written by W.C. Fields and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fields never got around to writing his autobiography, but at his death in 1946, he left behind a vast assortment of notes, outlines, scrapbooks, letters, scripts, scenarios, and photographs. Now his grandson, Ronald J. Fields, has edited and woven this wealth of previously unpublished material into a unique new portrait of the Great One--in his own words. This book establishes the true facts about W.C. Fields's early years: how, around 1895, he really got started juggling; how met his future wife Hattie; and how he felt about his incessant tours, triumphs, and film career.
