Download or read book Alaska Is My Mistress written by Jerre Wills and published by Publication Consultants. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jerre Wills was in his late teens when he began feeling something tugging at his shirt-tail, and finally pulling with the force of a 300 pound barn-door halibut heading for deep water on the end of a fishing line. Whatever the powerful pull was, its 5,000 mile beckon, brought the young Wills family to Alaska in March of 1959. First it was the homestead; hunting soon followed; commercial fishing, an improbable occupation became a passion; and becoming a pilot and flying small bush-planes was justified by guiding big game hunters. All of these adventures gave Jerre an appreciation for Alaska's land, sea, and air. Alaska's allure became a 55-year love affair with the Greatland. Alaska Is My Mistress is the story of Jerre Wills' non-stop Alaska seduction.

Download or read book Northern Athabascan Survival written by Phyllis Ann Fast and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Northern Athabascan peoples of the Alaskan interior and the Yukon have survived centuries of contact and attempted domination by outsiders. Their lives today are rich in meaning and tradition yet are also complicated by numerous challenges such as poverty, alcoholism, domestic violence, suicide, and troubled leadership. Combining scholarly analysis, first-person accounts, and her own experiences and insights as a Koyukon Athabascan artist and anthropologist, Phyllis Ann Fast illuminates the modern Athabascan world. Her conversations with Athabascan women offer revealing glimpses of their personal lives and a probing assessment of their professional opportunities and limitations. Also showcased is the crucial but ambiguous role of Athabascan leaders, who are needed to champion reform and social healing but are often undermined by conflicting notions of decision making, personhood, and leadership in Athabascan society. A troubling observation of this study is the vast extent to which addiction—manifested as both substance abuse and economic dependency—pervades Northern Athabascan society and threatens to curtail its cohesion and aspirations. But Northern Athabascans are far from victims. As Fast discovers, Northern Athabascan men and women are well aware of these widespread social problems, and many have undertaken initiatives to deal with and heal them. Rigorous and compassionate, Northern Athabascan Survival provides an uncompromising view of a remarkable and troubled world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hello, this is Steve Croft. I live in Alaska and grew up in Minnesota. From childhood to adulthood, I’ve had many harrowing experiences. My friends have been telling me for years, “You gotta write a book. Nobody would ever believe it.” Well, now older and not necessarily smarter, I’m taking a shot at it. I have been active in outdoor activities (hunting, fishing, and camping) all my life. My first canoe trip into the Superior National Forest was when I was five years old. I had been a swamper and worked my way up to be a guide in northern Minnesota, and in Canada, I have fished and hunted in many states and ended up in Alaska in 1976 to stay. I have built and owned two remote cabins, a log shop, a log home; and I have a pilot’s license. These are my stories from Minnesota to Alaska. All are true.

Download or read book The Little House written by Kyoko Nakajima and published by Darf Publishers Ltd.. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Little House is set in the early years of the Showa era (1926-89), when Japan's situation is becoming increasingly tense but has not yet fully immersed in a wartime footing. On the outskirts of Tokyo, near a station on a private train line, stands a modest European style house with a red, triangular shaped roof. There a woman named Taki has worked as a maidservant in the house and lived with its owners, the Hirai family. Now, near the end of her life, Taki is writing down in a notebook her nostalgic memories of the time spent living in the house. Her journal captures the refined middle-class life of the time from her gentle perspective. At the end of the novel, however, a startling final chapter is added. The chapter brings to light, after Taki's death, a fact not described in her notebook. This suddenly transforms the world that had been viewed through the lens of a nostalgic memoir, so that a dramatic, flesh-and-blood story takes shape. Nakajima manages to combine skillful dialogue with a dazzling ending. The result is a polished, masterful work fully deserving of the Naoki Prize.
