Many people in today's society want to do and be the best they can in order to make a noticeable difference, but somehow, in spite of having the initial zest to stand out, they end up being frustrated as they encounter the usual obstacles that impede progress. The reason that a lot of people go into the grave with their dreams and visions not actualised is because, many hardly understand the roadmap to follow, the process it takes, and the principles to adhere to, in order to succeed in their pursuits. Due to the aforementioned reasons, the book; BE AN ICON was written. BE AN ICON makes you discover how ordinary people became extraordinary in their own styles and uniqueness. It is a 202 page twelve chapter book that has topics like - ordinary people with extraordinary mentalities, change that mindset, what you should do to be resolute, 5 things you must not lose as a visionary, how to set and score lifetime goals, how to develop your skills, etc. On the first chapter, the author gives a vivid description of an icon using different elements such as image, picture, symbol, and so on. He also explained the characteristics of icons. On the second chapter, he used ten individuals (some are dead while others are alive) that have stood out in their endeavours to illustrate how people can be icons in their own capacities. Some of the people used are not public figures, but he deliberately used them to prove that you don't need to be a celebrity to be an icon. On the third chapter, he sounds a very serious warning on the impact of the mindset on the success of any individual. He talked about different types of mindsets, and how they have influenced individuals and societies. Between the fourth and the seventh chapter, he dealt with characters, personal qualities, attributes, focus, positioning, direction, and what you must not lose as a visionary. From the eight to the eleventh chapter are topics that teach you how to. For instance, the author spelt out how to set and score lifetime goals, how to generate ideas and develop them, how to develop your skills, and how icons motivate themselves. On the twelfth chapter, he dealt with strategic networking using the fishnet and a microorganism called Volvox as his basis of illustration. From start to finish, the book motivates, inspires, informs, and educates the reader. On most paragraphs of the book are inspiring quotes that will drive the reader towards achieving his dream and vision. In every dream and vision, there are competitions, but the author advises in this book that, 'To keep up with the competition or even have a competitive advantage, you must keep growing; continuous growth is development. If you don't develop, you'll be overtaken by infants. Then, you will start talking about the good old days. If you have to keep relying on history to prove your relevance, you're dated.

This book, newly revised and updated, examines the Eastern Church's theology of icons chiefly on the basis of the acta of the Seventh Ecumenical Council of 787. The political circumstances leading to the outbreak of the iconclast controversy in the eighth century are discussed in detail, but the main emphasis is on the theological arguments and assumptions of the council participants. Major themes include the nature of tradition, the relationship between image and reality, and the place of christology. Ultimately the argument over icons was about the accessibility of the divine. Icons were held by the iconophiles to communicate a deifying grace which raised the believer to participation in the life of God.

Focusing on multigenerational Puerto Rican women and girls, Emily R. Aguiló-Pérez masterfully illustrates how Barbie dolls impact femininity, body image, and cultural identity.

An American Icon in Puerto Rico offers a captivating study of that iconic influence by focusing on a group of multigenerational Puerto Rican women and girls.

Aguiló-Pérez boldly confronts the challenges and contradictions that arise, offering a compelling analysis of how playing with Barbie dolls can impact a girl's perception of femininity, body image, race, and even national identity. Through these nuanced explorations, she unearths the potential pitfalls of these influences, encouraging readers to reflect on their own relationships with the iconic doll. By weaving together personal anecdotes, historical context, and sociocultural analysis, Aguiló-Pérez masterfully illustrates how these women and girls navigate the diverse landscapes of femininity, body image, and cultural identity, with Barbie serving as both a facilitator and a reflection of their growth. In doing so, she redefines the significance of Barbie in the lives of Puerto Rican women and girls, prompting readers from all around the world to reevaluate their perceptions of femininity and embrace a more inclusive understanding of beauty, body image, and self-expression.

Years after her discovery at age fourteen at New York City’s John F. Kennedy Airport and her quick ascent to the top of the supermodeling world and choice luxury-brand figurehead, Kate Moss represents an unusual success story: that of a middle-class teenager who became one of the best-paid models in the world with no apparent effort. Hers is a story of endless reinvention: more than twenty years later, despite tabloid scandals, drug use, rehab, and tumultuous high-profile romances, Kate Moss appears before us as a fresh creation each time, an ideal subject able to adapt to any circumstance, recast herself ceaselessly through self-staging and self-narration, and make the world fall in love with her over and over again. In Kate Moss: The Making of an Icon, Christian Salmon’s insightful text, accompanied by more than sixty gorgeous images, explores this phenomenon—the story of an icon, a muse, a legend, an enigma—and how our culture has created the collective Kate Moss myth.

Follow Stick Man through a disastrous day in this hilarious adventure inspired by real signs. Stick Man is that guy you see around town but don’t really know very well. Everywhere you go, there he is, crossing the street, waiting for the bus, issuing warnings about potential disasters at sea and on land, at the mall and at work. But when he’s not offering advice, what does a day in the life of Stick Man actually look like? This catastrophe-packed book uses images derived from real signs to follow a continuous narrative as Stick Man navigates the perils of a single, hilariously bad day. Everyone has had that day that just keeps getting worse, but Stick Man’s adventures show readers both what a bad day really looks like, and that in the end it’s never really quite as bad as it may seem. It’s the perfect pick-me-up for when life, or a forklift, knocks you down.

American Nietzsche written by Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen and has been published by University of Chicago Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2012 with History categories.
If you were looking for a philosopher likely to appeal to Americans, Friedrich Nietzsche would be far from your first choice. After all, in his blazing career, Nietzsche took aim at nearly all the foundations of modern American life: Christian morality, the Enlightenment faith in reason, and the idea of human equality. Despite that, for more than a century Nietzsche has been a hugely popular—and surprisingly influential—figure in American thought and culture. In American Nietzsche, Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen delves deeply into Nietzsche's philosophy, and America’s reception of it, to tell the story of his curious appeal. Beginning her account with Ralph Waldo Emerson, whom the seventeen-year-old Nietzsche read fervently, she shows how Nietzsche’s ideas first burst on American shores at the turn of the twentieth century, and how they continued alternately to invigorate and to shock Americans for the century to come. She also delineates the broader intellectual and cultural contexts within which a wide array of commentators—academic and armchair philosophers, theologians and atheists, romantic poets and hard-nosed empiricists, and political ideologues and apostates from the Left and the Right—drew insight and inspiration from Nietzsche’s claims for the death of God, his challenge to universal truth, and his insistence on the interpretive nature of all human thought and beliefs. At the same time, she explores how his image as an iconoclastic immoralist was put to work in American popular culture, making Nietzsche an unlikely posthumous celebrity capable of inspiring both teenagers and scholars alike. A penetrating examination of a powerful but little-explored undercurrent of twentieth-century American thought and culture, American Nietzsche dramatically recasts our understanding of American intellectual life—and puts Nietzsche squarely at its heart.
