Book excerpt: Volume of spiritual essays published in 1922. Frank William Boreham (3 March 1871, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England - 18 May 1959, Melbourne, Victoria) was a Baptist preacher best known in New Zealand, Australia, and England. (His birth coincided with the end of the Franco-Prussian War and he could say in later life that, "Salvoes of artillery and peals of bells echoed across Europe on the morning of my birth.") He was one of 10 children. Boreham heard the great American preacher Dwight L. Moody during his youth. Another remarkable occasion was when he was badly injured and spent considerable time in hospital recovering, nursed by a Roman Catholic woman who widened his insight of ecumenism. Boreham became a Baptist preacher after conversion to Christianity while working in London. Boreham was probably the last student interviewed by Charles Spurgeon for entry into his Pastor's College. After graduation, Boreham accepted a ministry at Mosgiel church, Dunedin, New Zealand, in March 1895 and there began his prolific writings initially for the local newspaper. He later was a pastor in Hobart, Tasmania, and then on mainland Australia in Melbourne at Armadale and Kew.** **....summary from wikipedia

Book excerpt: Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. You can't think about travel without thinking about luggage. And baggage has baggage. Susan Harlan takes readers on a journey with the suitcases that support, accessorize, and accompany our lives. Along the way, she shows how the materials of travel - the carry-ons, totes, trunks, and train cases of the past and present - have stories to tell about displacement, home, gender, class, consumption, and labor. Luggage considers bags as carefully curated microcosms of our domestic and professional selves, charting the evolution of travel across literature, film, and art. A simple suitcase, it turns out, contains more than you might think. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ". . . at the Island of Lost Luggage, they line up: the disappeared, the lost children, the Earharts of modern life. It's your bad luck to die in the cold wars of certain nations. But in the line at Unclaimed Baggage, no one mourns for the sorry world that sent them here . . ." The abused. The oppressed. The terrified victims of institutionalized insanity. Making daring connections between the personal and the political, Janet McAdams draws new lines in the conflict between the new and old worlds as she redefines the struggle to remain human. This award-winning collection of poetry forges surprising links among seemingly unrelated forms of violence and resistance in today's world: war in Central America, abuses against Nature, the battleground of the bedroom. McAdams evokes the absurdity of everyday existence as she sends out a new call for social responsibility. The Island of Lost Luggage is the poetry winner of the 1999 First Book Awards competition of the Native Writers' Circle of the Americas.

Book excerpt: "I moved to USA from Poland. I was 22 years old then. I thought it will be so amazing, just like I always thought my life would be. My dream of going to the incredible paradise that USA stands for many, was coming true. So happy, so excited, so fearless. Soon, my "color glasses" felt off and the real, very brutal life has started. Life to survive! My life went from wealthy to poor; from having lots of friends to feeling alone and forgotten; from not worried about food to that excruciating pain in my stomach caused by hunger. Never thought I will have to worry about being homeless but my destiny had different plans for me. I went from being loved, cared to that pain of being abused physically, broken down mentally. I learned the definition of true, deep, incredible love filled with passion, butterflies, happiness. I had the privilege to experience the pain of a broken heart; where my soul had been ripped out of me without any warnings. I went from somebody to nobody, from being smart collage girl to confused, lost little child. Luck of English knowledge, total culture shock and pure fear have welcomed me at the airport, where emotional roller coaster has become my every day companion. My road of life has been very hard, filled with rocks but I am still heading forward, dragging my luggage behind. Luggage filled with my life, life of a Polish immigrant." www.facebook.com/taneyalyn

Book excerpt: In the modern age, air travel has become an indispensable part of global transportation, facilitating the movement of people and goods across vast distances with unprecedented speed and efficiency. At the heart of this intricate network of aviation infrastructure lies a seemingly mundane but vitally important component: the airport luggage system. Airports, serving as bustling hubs of activity, handle millions of pieces of luggage daily, ensuring that each bag reaches its intended destination. This process, while often taken for granted by travelers, is a marvel of engineering and logistics. From the moment a passenger checks in their bag to the time it is retrieved at their final destination, a complex series of technologies and procedures are employed to guarantee the safe and timely delivery of luggage. This book, "Airports Luggage Systems," delves into the fascinating world of baggage handling, offering an in-depth exploration of the various systems and technologies that make it all possible. We will journey through the history of luggage handling, tracing its evolution from manual processes to the sophisticated automated systems in use today. Each chapter provides a detailed analysis of the components that comprise these systems, including conveyor belts, scanners, sorting machines, and tracking technologies. We will also examine the challenges and innovations shaping the future of airport luggage systems. As airports continue to expand and passenger numbers increase, the need for more efficient, secure, and reliable baggage handling solutions becomes ever more critical. Topics such as RFID tagging, artificial intelligence, and robotics will be discussed, showcasing how these advancements are poised to revolutionize the industry. Furthermore, this book highlights the human element in the baggage handling process. While technology plays a pivotal role, the expertise and dedication of the personnel who oversee and maintain these systems are equally crucial. Their stories and experiences provide valuable insights into the daily operations and the constant drive for improvement within this field. "Airports Luggage Systems" aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of this essential aspect of air travel, appealing to a wide audience that includes industry professionals, engineering students, and curious travelers alike. Through detailed descriptions, illustrative diagrams, and real-world case studies, readers will gain an appreciation for the complexity and ingenuity behind the systems that ensure their luggage arrives on time and intact. As we embark on this exploration, it is my hope that this book will not only inform but also inspire. The realm of airport luggage systems is a testament to human ingenuity and collaboration, reflecting our ability to solve complex problems through innovation and teamwork. Welcome to the intricate and fascinating world of airport luggage systems.
