Homeless Hearts in the Windy City

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In the heart of Chicago, a city of towering skyscrapers and bustling streets, lies a hidden world of despair and resilience—the world of the homeless.

"Homeless Hearts in the Windy City" takes you on a journey into the lives of those living on the fringes of society, struggling to survive in the shadows of opulence. Through personal stories and in-depth analysis, this book sheds light on the complex and multifaceted issue of homelessness in America.

Meet Sarah, a young mother fleeing an abusive relationship, who finds herself living on the streets with her two young children. Meet John, a Vietnam veteran battling PTSD and addiction, who has been homeless for over a decade. And meet Maria, a single mother working two jobs just to keep a roof over her head, who is one paycheck away from homelessness herself.

Their stories are heartbreaking, but they are also stories of hope and resilience. They are stories of individuals who have refused to give up, who have found strength in community, and who are determined to rebuild their lives.

"Homeless Hearts in the Windy City" is a call to action. It is a call to recognize the humanity of the homeless, to understand the challenges they face, and to work together to create a society where everyone has a safe and stable place to live.

This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the realities of homelessness in America and the urgent need for solutions. It is a powerful reminder that behind every statistic is a human being with a story to tell.

Samoan Crisis The: The History...

Editors Charles River

Samoa is a group of about 20 islands in the South Pacific Ocean, totaling slightly over 1,100 square miles, about a fifth the size of Hawai’i. The ancestors of the Samoans arrived there many centuries ago. Archaeological artifacts suggest Polynesians arrived perhaps three thousand years before the present, or perhaps even earlier (O’Connor, 2017).
Samoans remained part of an isolated Pacific Ocean region for a very long time, with trade and social links with the people of the Fiji and Tonga islands. That inter-island world was not “discovered” by European explorers until 1722, when a Dutch ship, captained by Joseph Roggeveen, visited. The next European view of the Samoan islands was in 1778 by a French expedition, commanded by Louis-Antoine de Bougainville. A later French expedition under La Perouse found the islands far from congenial; a fight erupted and the French lost 12 men (O’Connor, 2017).
The pace of contact with the outside world quickened by the end of the 1700s. Explorers visited, naval expeditions checked out Samoa and other islands, a few European beachcombers arrived, and so did missionaries. Samoa, like many other Pacific Island groups, attracted outside interest for several reasons. Missionaries found souls to save. Whaling ships found places to resupply themselves with food, water, sometimes crew, and for rest and recreation. As navies converted to steam, islands became useful as coaling stations, and as the Industrial Revolution spread, islands offered raw materials and goods for potential profit. The Pacific Islands also became pawns in what is best described as a global imperial competition.

Egyptian myths and mysteries

Rudolph Steiner

If we ask ourselves what spiritual science should be for men, then presumably, out of all sorts of reactions and feelings that we have developed in the course of our work in this field, we will place the following answer before our souls: Spiritual science should be for us a path to the higher development of our humanity, of all that is human in us.
