A Woman’s Long Road to Happiness

By: Angela Hope Sandoval

This book “A Woman’s Long Road to Happiness” is just that, it’s a long road to finding happiness after a physical and verbal abusive life. For seventeen years of living in an abusive relationship she decided enough was enough. It’s a painful and inspiring triumphant story of a woman who fought to protect herself and her children from the abuser. She found her life’s treasures afterwards. There are many women who live and stay in an abusive situation for one reason or another. Life is a long road that comes with many obstacles and sharp winding curves which eventually takes you to a crossroad of making a hard decision as to which road you should take. Everyone’s abusive life story is different, some end up leaving and some never do. The greatest conqueror is to continue keeping the faith. When seeing the darkest helpless side of your life, never lose hope because he (God) will always have your back. The answers to prayers don’t ever come right away but in time the doors will open to be able to fly into another dimension that changes the mind or situation for a better life. I hope this book helps others that have lived or have had similar experiences and to say that there is a silver lining with a bright beautiful rainbow at the other end of the road.

It Seems Like a Mighty Long Time

Poems

By: Angela Jackson

2015 PEN Open Book Award Finalist Angela Jackson’s latest collection of poetry borrows its title from a lyric in Barbara Lewis’s 1963 hit single “Hello Stranger,” recorded at Chess Records in Chicago. Like the song, Jackson’s poems are a melodic ode to the African American experience, informed by both individual lives and community history, from the arrival of the first African slave in Virginia in 1619 to post-Obama America. It Seems Like a Mighty Long Time reflects the maturity of Jackson’s poetic vision. The Great Migration, the American South, and Chicago all serve as signposts, but it is the complexity of individual lives—both her own and those who have gone before, walk beside, and come after—that invigorate this collection. Upon surveying so vast a landscape, Jackson finds that sorrow meets delight, and joy lifts up anger and despair. And for all this time, love is the agent, the wise and just rule and guide.

Improvisation and Inventio in the Performance of Medieval Music

A Practical Approach

By: Angela Mariani

Improvisation and Inventio in the Performance of Medieval Music: A Practical Approach is an innovative and groundbreaking approach to medieval music as living repertoire. The book provides philosophical frameworks, primary-source analysis, and clear, actionable practices and exercises aimed at recovering the improvisatory and inventive aspects of medieval music for contemporary musicians. Aimed at both instrumentalists and vocalists, the book explores the utilization of musical models, the inventive implications of medieval notation, and the ways in which memory, mode, rhetoric, and primary source paradigms inform the improvisatory process in both monophonic and polyphonic music of the Middle Ages. Angela Mariani, an experienced performer of both medieval music and folk and traditional musics, rediscovers and explicates the processes of imagination, invention, and improvisation which historically energized both medieval music in its own period and in its revival in our own time. Based on decades of research, university teaching, ensemble direction, collaboration, and performance, Mariani's impassioned stance that "the elusive element of inventio, as the medieval rhetoricians would have called it, must always be provided by the performer in the present," emphasizes medieval music performance practice as a dynamic and still-vital tradition. Students, teachers, directors, and those interested in the wealth of expressive beauty found in the music of the middle ages will likewise find value and meaning in her clear and accessible prose, and in the practical processes and exercises that make this book unique within the literature of medieval performance practice.

A Grammar and Dictionary of Tayap

The Life and Death of a Papuan Language

By: Don Kulick,Angela Terrill

Tayap is a small, previously undocumented Papuan language, spoken in a single village called Gapun, in the lower Sepik River region of Papua New Guinea. The language is an isolate, unrelated to any other in the area. Furthermore, Tayap is dying. Fewer than fifty speakers actively command it today. Based on linguistic anthropological work conducted over the course of thirty years, this book describes the grammar of the language, detailing its phonology, morphology and syntax. It devotes particular attention to verbs, which are the most elaborated area of the grammar, and which are complex, fusional and massively suppletive.The book also provides a full Tayap-English-Tok Pisin dictionary. A particularly innovative contribution is the detailed discussions of how Tayap’'s grammar is dissolving in the language of young speakers. The book exemplifies how the complex structures in fluent speakers’ Tayap are reduced or reanalyzed by younger speakers. This grammar and dictionary should therefore be a valuable resource for anyone interested in the mechanics of how languages disappear. The fact that it is the sole documentation of this unique Papuan language should also make it of interest to areal specialists and language typologists.

A Moment In The Lost Dimensions Ⅰ

By: Angela

一切都沒有絕對性，只有你相信什麼，不相信什麼海盜Ives Hyder於一個暴風雨之後，醒在四維世界。Ives和他的哥哥，同時也是船長的August Hyder，尋找一年前被Zake殺害的弟弟Randolph，同時邂逅了一個曾經被他們以叛徒的名義處決掉的船員Fio。在這場冒險探尋的過程中，越來越多的真相浮出水面：自己曾經敬愛的領袖希特勒所做的一切都是何等的瘋狂殘酷，從而由欲蓋彌彰的謊言中清醒過來。可每個真相都伴隨著更多的迷霧。故事裡有兩個平行時空，在不同維度對現實世界的回憶展開。表達人類永遠無法實現烏托邦世界或是敵托邦世界的思想。 When you alter so substantially between the realms of one’s very existence, you endure as a theory to others. Time spirals into absorbance, revolves in and out of distinctness and finally loses definition.
