About the BookThis book "From the Bottom to The Top", presents a challenging educational thought to the mind for all readers. Being able to read this book at first hand and seeing the parent and child (Larry) relationship can be very challenging, though interesting and educational. In fact, it is simply a sensible recognition that, for a limited period, we need to put in some extra quality time and effort in consolidating all our moral and natural resources to achieve a worthy goal, starting at the bottom and finishing at the top line.What might parents do to help ease the tension between them and their children? How can they motivate their children to be more successful and get to the top? How about your self-esteem? How can you empower yourself to be your best? How can you prevent them from getting underneath your skin? To these and other questions, Part I of this book offers a practical, "what to do with Larry story", hands-on approach.Part I of this book concludes brilliantly and impressively, leaving me in a state of insatiable yearning for the continuation of the rest of the book, to find out how Larry got to the top from the bottom. I just cannot wait to read the ensuing parts of this book "From the Bottom to the Top". By Mr. Peter Cole

Presents a reprint of "Rift" and "Hymns & Qualms", by Peter Cole, an acclaimed American-Israeli poet, about whom the US poet Forrest Gander observed: "The moral seriousness of his work astonishes ...the exquisite specificity of his diction and the intricacy of his prosody are without parallel among the poets of his - and my - generation".

Shunra is Aramaic for "cat." Schmetterling is German for "butterfly." In Yoel Hoffmann's new book, these and numerous other creatures, cultures, and languages meet in a magical shimmering hymn to childhood. Hoffmann traces his hero's developing consciousness of the ways-and-wonders of the world as though he were peering through a tremendous kaleidoscope: all that was perceived, all that is remembered, is rendered in fluid fragments of color and light. With remarkable delicacy and sweep, Hoffmann captures childhood from the amazed inside out, and without the backward-looking wash of grown-up sentiment. Instead, the boy's deadpan registration of the human comedy around him is offered up as strangely magical fact. Beautifully translated by Peter Cole, The Shunra & the Schmetterling is fiction for lovers of poetry and poetry for lovers of fiction--a small marvel of a book, and one of the author's finest to date.

A critical guide to newspaper journalism at a time of dynamic change, this is a detailed and topical overview of the context of contemporary journalism practice from two key names in the field.

In Peter Cole's remarkable new book, the forces and sources that have long driven his work come together in singular fashion. Things on Which I've Stumbled rides a variable music that takes it from an archeology of mysterious poetic fragments unearthed in an ancient Egyptian synagogue to poignant political commentary on the blighted hills surrounding modern Jerusalem. Cole's vision of connectedness, his wit, and his grounded wisdom, along with his keen sense of literature's place in a meaningful life, render these poems at once fresh and abiding. Widely acclaimed for his translations from Hebrew and Arabic, Cole is also the author of two highly praised collections of poems. Writing in The New York Review of Books, Harold Bloom called Peter Cole "a major poet-translator." In Things on Which I've Stumbled, he turns to translating the world.
