Book excerpt: Al is back, bumbling along as usual with his side-kick Chuck, trying to make sense of feuds, other people's relationships as well as his own, and doing a bit of meditating while fishing on the side. Al has been wading for quite some time in whichever river it is he's in, but this time he's way over his head trying to reconcile love in the making, unseen break-ups, life and death, and his own relationship with his wife. To complicate things, Al has been having a difficult time understanding where he is, past, present or future. Come on back to Dobbins, the almost tiniest town in Montana, where you'll find that life there can be as complicated, and reassuring, as life anywhere else.Emotional, honest, and of course with Smith's dry humor, One Horse Town is a touching ride through a tiny town, its inhabitants and the effects of real-life events that touch us all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A One-Eyed Horse in a One-Horse Town is a magical tale based on the true story of a blind horse. A family is not sure what to do when their beloved old horse, Smokey, begins to lose his eyesight. Putting the horse down is not an option, but neither is boxing him up to a life in a stall. The family decides to place a radio next to Smokey's stall, hoping that the horse will use his ears instead of his eyes to not only navigate freely around his pasture, but to also follow the music back to the safety of his barn. In the challenge of adjusting to life without sight, the old horse inadvertently thwarts the attempts of a greedy land developer from taking his pasture, and also wins the hearts of the townsfolk.

Download or read book Speaking of Animals written by Robert Palmatier and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1995-04-30 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No other nonhuman source has served as the basis for more metaphors than animals. Speaking of Animals is a dictionary of animal metaphors that are current in American English. It is comprehensive, historical, and metaphor-based. Each entry refers to the other dictionaries that catalog that same metaphor, and the dates of first appearance in writing are supplied, where possible, for both the metaphor and the name of the source. The main text is organized alphabetically by metaphor rather than by animal or animal behavior; all the metaphors are classified according to their animal source in a list at the end of the book. An animal metaphor is a word, phrase, or sentence that expresses a resemblance or similarity between someone or something and a particular animal or animal class. True metaphors are single words, such as the noun tiger, the verb hog, and the adjective chicken. Phrasal metaphors combine true metaphors with other words, such as blind tiger, hog the road, and chicken colonel. Other animal metaphors take the form of similes, such as like rats leaving a sinking ship and prickly as a hedgehog. Still others take the form of proverbs, such as Don't count your chickens before they hatch and Let sleeping dogs lie. The horse is the animal most frequently referred to in metaphors, followed closely by the dog. The Bible is the most prolific literary source of animal metaphors, followed closely by Shakespeare.

Book excerpt: An unforgettable novel from the New York Times bestseller Gordon Korman Link, Michael, and Dana live in a quiet town. But it's woken up very quickly when someone sneaks into school and vandalizes it with a swastika. Nobody can believe it. How could such a symbol of hate end up in the middle of their school? Who would do such a thing? Because Michael was the first person to see it, he's the first suspect. Because Link is one of the most popular guys in school, everyone's looking to him to figure it out. And because Dana's the only Jewish girl in the whole town, everyone's treating her more like an outsider than ever. The mystery deepens as more swastikas begin to appear. Some students decide to fight back and start a project to bring people together instead of dividing them further. The closer Link, Michael, and Dana get to the truth, the more there is to face-not just the crimes of the present, but the crimes of the past. With Linked, Gordon Korman, the author of the acclaimed novel Restart, poses a mystery for all readers where the who did it? isn't nearly as important as the why?
Download or read book The Horse in the City written by Clay McShane and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2007-07-16 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honorable mention, 2007 Lewis Mumford Prize, American Society of City and Regional Planning The nineteenth century was the golden age of the horse. In urban America, the indispensable horse provided the power for not only vehicles that moved freight, transported passengers, and fought fires but also equipment in breweries, mills, foundries, and machine shops. Clay McShane and Joel A. Tarr, prominent scholars of American urban life, here explore the critical role that the horse played in the growing nineteenth-century metropolis. Using such diverse sources as veterinary manuals, stable periodicals, teamster magazines, city newspapers, and agricultural yearbooks, they examine how the horses were housed and fed and how workers bred, trained, marketed, and employed their four-legged assets. Not omitting the problems of waste removal and corpse disposal, they touch on the municipal challenges of maintaining a safe and productive living environment for both horses and people and the rise of organizations like the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. In addition to providing an insightful account of life and work in nineteenth-century urban America, The Horse in the City brings us to a richer understanding of how the animal fared in this unnatural and presumably uncomfortable setting.
Download or read book Corn Kings and One Horse Thieves written by James Krohe Jr and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, ISHS Annual Award for a Scholarly Publication, 2018 In Corn Kings and One-Horse Thieves, James Krohe Jr. presents an engaging history of an often overlooked region, filled with fascinating stories and surprising facts about Illinois’s midsection. Krohe describes in lively prose the history of mid-Illinois from the Woodland period of prehistory until roughly 1960, covering the settlement of the region by peoples of disparate races and religions; the exploitation by Euro-Americans of forest, fish, and waterfowl; the transformation of farming into a high-tech industry; and the founding and deaths of towns. The economic, cultural, and racial factors that led to antagonism and accommodation between various people of different backgrounds are explored, as are the roles of education and religion in this part of the state. The book examines remarkable utopian experiments, social and moral reform movements, and innovations in transportation and food processing. It also offers fresh accounts of labor union warfare and social violence directed against Native Americans, immigrants, and African Americans and profiles three generations of political and government leaders, sometimes extraordinary and sometimes corrupt (the “one-horse thieves” of the title). A concluding chapter examines history’s roles as product, recreation, and civic bond in today’s mid-Illinois. Accessible and entertaining yet well-researched and informative, Corn Kings and One-Horse Thieves draws on a wide range of sources to explore a surprisingly diverse section of Illinois whose history is America in microcosm.
