Book excerpt: Drawn to the Light, by Dutch author Ella Evers-Meinardi, is a reflection on her life shattered by the shock of the tragic death of her husband, a life-changing event when she was nine months pregnant with her second child. Deep in grief, the author wants to know where her deceased husband has gone and ponders the meaning of life, which takes her in a spiritual direction. Drawn to the Light shows the reader her lifelong pursuit for true knowledge, often resulting in illuminating mystical revelations. The appearance of an indescribable diamond-like light slowly leads her into higher spiritual realms. With courage and tenacity, she overcomes obstacles seekers of truth may find along the spiritual path. Ultimately, her search leads to traveling eleven times to India, an ancient land of God-wisdom. Her spiritual journey includes dreams, alternative healing, meditation practices, esoteric studies, and philosophy found in the Indian scriptures. Drawn to the Light offers extensive information about the awakening process through Kundalini, as taught by her guru, an enlightened siddha master in India. Even though her story is mainly of a spiritual nature, the author also writes about herself as an ordinary woman, wife, and mother of two.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about my gradual emergence from hiding my “light”—my gifts and talents—and about discovering as I let it shine that the light in me was a gift of divine life and light that illuminates my path and can illuminate others’ paths, too, and can encourage them to let their light shine. I became more alive and creative, and I continue to understand more fully the statement in the Gospel of John that “the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it” (1:5). I hope that this book reminds readers of those persons and experiences in their own lives that drew them toward the light both outside and inside themselves and that helps them be more alive.

Book excerpt: 'Drawn to the Light' is chapbook of poetry chronicling the very early to the more mature poems of rising Irish poet Orla Fay. Eminent Irish poet Jean O'Brien has written "Orla Fay's latest chapbook 'Drawn to the Light' is what it says, many of the poems within are planetary, filled with the sun, moon and stars and elementary -- sea, fire, darkness and spirit. All imbued with a delicate love of nature, they possess a beguiling mysteriousness that draws the reader in. Her title poem gives resonance to her sense of place; Laytown, Ballivor, Ireland and Meath in particular. Her poems are sure-footed and nuanced and as she says in the title poem 'Drawn to the Light':'On the pivot of the weather we are dependent'...be that inner or outer weather. Her work ranges over the mythological and including the real Hill of Tara, it weaves a rich tapestry of folklore, nature, fact and fiction. 'Tara floats above the world of men, tainted and sleepingIn the lowland where few even dream of Xanadu.'As she says in her quietly powerful poem 'Empire of the Sun':'Life has become a great mirror'And this is what Fay is good at, reflecting us back on ourselves.She has worked as Editor for Boyne Berries magazine and has had work published in numerous magazines and papers such as The Irish Times, Cyphers, Poetry Ireland Review and many others. Her work has been placed/commended in many competitons including Cúirt New Writing Prize (2019), The Anthony Cronin Poetry Prize (2019), The Dermot Healy Poetry Prize (2017), and was nominated for the Forward Prize (2016).Multi award winning poet Evan Costigan says "Orla Fay's beautifully assured poems journey from Irish folklore to Greek and Roman mythology, but are mostly rooted in her native county of Meath where an old farmer morphs into Lazarus in wellingtons and Laytown Strand is spattered with 'the guts of the sea.' Striking images serve to elevate the ordinary, but the poems here also convey the capacity of the natural world to console and sustain us during difficult periods. Drawn to the Light is a timely collection and should resonate strongly with readers, reminding us that 'painful endings disguise new beginnings' ('Lau Tzu at the Door')."While Welsh poet K.S. Moore says "These poems are lit from within, as well as by the sun they turn to. They burst into bloom with trembling petals that invite our close inspection. Here is life lived through all the senses. Here is a spiritual connection to nature, an openness to other worlds and to rebirth."

Book excerpt: The book is a guide for students and teachers to understand the need for, the role of and the methods and techniques of freehand analytical sketching in architecture. The presentation focuses on drawing as an approach to and phase of architectural design. The conceptual goal of this approach is to use drawing not as illustration or depiction, but as exploration. The first part of the book discusses underlying concepts of freehand sketching in design education and practice as a complement to digital technologies. The main component is a series of chapters that constitute a typology of fundamental issues in architecture and urban design; for instance, issues of "façade" are illustrated with sketch diagrams that show how façades can be explored and sketched through a series of specific questions and step-by-step procedures. In the expanded and updated edition, a new part explores the questions and experiences of large architectural offices in applying freehand drawing in the practice of architectural design. This book is especially timely in an age in which the false conflict between "traditional vs. digital" gives way to multiple design tools, including sketching. It fosters understanding of the essential human ability to investigate the designed and the natural world through freehand drawing.

Book excerpt: In the spirit of The Orphan Train and Before We Were Yours, a historical debut about a nurse who chooses to save a baby's life, and risks her own in the process, exploring the ties of motherhood and the little-known history of Coney Island and America's first incubators. A nurse's choice. A daughter's search for answers. New York City, 1926. Nurse Althea Anderson's heart is near breaking when she witnesses another premature baby die at Bellevue Hospital. So when she reads an article detailing the amazing survival rates of babies treated in incubators in an exhibit at Luna Park, Coney Island, it feels like the miracle she has been searching for. But the doctors at Bellevue dismiss Althea and this unconventional medicine, forcing her to make a choice between a baby's life and the doctors' wishes that will change everything. Twenty-five years later, Stella Wright is falling apart. Her mother has just passed, she quit a job she loves, and her marriage is struggling. Then she discovers a letter that brings into question everything she knew about her mother, and everything she knows about herself. The Light of Luna Park is a tale of courage and an ode to the sacrificial love of mothers.
