Frederic Arnold Kummer

Beschreibung

Frederic Arnold Kummer's 'The First Days of Man, as Narrated Quite Simply for Young Readers' offers a carefully woven tapestry of the nascent epochs of humanity, tailored to the imagination and understanding of a younger audience. Kummer employs a narrative style that is both engaging and instructive, grounding complex prehistorical concepts in accessible language and vivid storytelling. This work, while standing on its own literary merits, also aligns with the didactic tradition of educating youth through stories. It situates itself within the broader context of enlightenment literature, aiming to enlighten as much as to entertain its readers.

Kummer, by virtue of his diverse literary talents, was adept at crafting narratives across a range of genres. In this edition brought forth by DigiCat Publishing, Kummer's intent to inspire and inform young minds is given new life. The author's background and personal journey oftentimes permeate his prose, which in this case aligns with the Enlightenment-era ethos of fostering knowledge and challenging the intellect of even the youngest scholars.

It is recommended to those who seek to introduce the young reader to the beginnings of human civilization in an approachable yet profound manner. As this edition makes clear, Kummer's work is more than a simple children's book; it is a launch pad for curiosity and a testament to the enduring power of storytelling in shaping our understanding of the past. The preservation and celebration of such works as undertaken by DigiCat serve not only to honor Kummer's contributions but also to continue the tradition of literary enlightenment for future generations.

Foreword by Cameron Diaz 
“Reading Kimberly Shannon Murphy’s searing and vividly told memoir is like watching a gripping work of cinema verité: each scene demands our attention as the plot moves towards its dramatic conclusion. A powerful and inspiring story of suffering and shame, resilience and redemption.” —Gabor Maté M.D., New York Times bestselling author of The Myth of Normal 
A raw and heartening memoir of one woman’s journey from surviving childhood sexual abuse to becoming one of the most successful stuntwomen in Hollywood. 
“Piece by piece, the on-site medic tweezes the shards of candy glass from my face. I don’t mind the stinging. I don’t flinch.” 
As an award-winning stuntwoman, Kimberly Shannon Murphy was intimate with pain. For years, she propelled her body through dangerous spaces—medicating the trauma of her childhood sexual abuse with the adrenaline rush that came from pushing herself to the absolute limit. But as Kimberly learned, no matter how much you suppress your past, it always catches up with you. 
In Glimmer, Kimberly details her remarkable journey to the top of her field as a Hollywood stuntwoman for many A-list celebrities, including Cameron Diaz, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, Taylor Swift, and Sandra Bullock, while carrying the pain of her childhood of sexual abuse in a family that refused to acknowledge its reality. In her beautifully written, unflinchingly honest memoir, Kimberly reflects on her past and present, chronicling her path to recovery and calculating the long shadow of trauma. 
Glimmer is the story of one woman’s quest to reclaim her life and to shine a spotlight on the dark topic of intergenerational familial abuse. As Kimberly reveals, being strong isn’t about getting your black belt, leaping out of four-story buildings, or putting 200-pound stuntmen in chokeholds—it’s about waking up every single morning and choosing to love yourself, no matter your history. 
A heroic and hopeful story of stolen innocence, pain, courage, and survival, Glimmer is an emotional roadmap for others who have suffered abuse and childhood trauma, offering them hope, healing, and inspiration.

Pixar - The Ultimate Trivia And...

Trivia Hub

PIXAR
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
Pixar Animation Studios, originally The Graphics Group at Lucasfilm, was co-founded by Edwin Catmull and Alvy Ray Smith. It became an independent company in 1986 with investment from Steve Jobs. Pixar is known for its groundbreaking computer-animated feature films, starting with Toy Story (1995). The studio pioneered RenderMan, its own rendering software. Pixar developed the "Braintrust," a creative process with candid feedback. After disagreements with Disney, Pixar was acquired by them in 2006, making Jobs a major Disney shareholder. Pixar's films have achieved both critical and financial success, including Inside Out 2 (2024) as the highest-grossing Pixar film.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
Pixar's origins trace back to 1974 when Alexander Schure established the Computer Graphics Lab at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT), aiming to create the world’s first computer-animated film. This lab laid the foundation for many of the CG techniques that Pixar would later utilize.
The group from NYIT, including Edwin Catmull and Alvy Ray Smith, moved to Lucasfilm in 1979, forming the Graphics Group which was one-third of Lucasfilm's Computer Division. They worked on creating the precursor to RenderMan, called REYES.
The name "Pixar" came about during a brainstorming session for a new digital compositing computer, initially suggested as "Picture Maker". Smith proposed "Pixer" which then evolved to "Pixar".
In February 1986, Pixar was spun off as a corporation with funding from Steve Jobs, who invested $5 million and became the majority shareholder. This happened because the employees were worried that the group would be sold off in Lucas's divorce.

Splanchnology - Visceral Organs

Mike Crawford

Splanchnology is the branch of anatomy that focuses on the study of visceral organs, which include the digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems. These organs are primarily located within the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities, playing crucial roles in sustaining life. Understanding splanchnology is essential for medical professionals, as it provides foundational knowledge for diagnosing and treating various diseases affecting the body's internal organs.
The term "splanchnology" originates from the Greek word splanchnon, meaning "viscera" or "entrails." Historically, the study of visceral organs has been a key aspect of medical science, with ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Greeks making significant contributions to anatomical knowledge. The field has evolved considerably with advances in medical imaging, surgical techniques, and molecular biology, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of organ function and pathology.
Visceral organs are classified based on their primary functions. The digestive system, comprising the stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas, is responsible for processing and absorbing nutrients. The respiratory system, including the lungs and airways, facilitates gas exchange, supplying oxygen to the body while removing carbon dioxide. The urinary system, with the kidneys, bladder, and associated structures, is essential for waste excretion and fluid balance. The reproductive system, differing between males and females, ensures the continuation of life through reproduction. Each of these organ systems works in concert with others, maintaining homeostasis and overall health.
