Download or read book Alligator Pants written by Tania Kuehn and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2019-03-28 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until eight years ago, Tania Kuehn attended church regularly and considered herself a devout Christian. As she entered the early years of adulthood, however, questions crept in and her faith was shaken, and she eventually realized that she and the members of her church were “worlds apart.” Alligator Pants is a collection of musings, reflections, and experiences told in a series of transparent essays. Tania writes about letting go of the church community and the routines she grew up with, re-vamping how she thinks about the big and small questions of life, and dealing with the sadness that comes with the loss of religious faith. An insightful read not only for those in the “deconversion” process but their family and friends as well, Alligator Pants is like a conversation with an old friend—relaxed, refreshing, and real.

Download or read book Miskito written by Michael Molinski and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014-11-26 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " "Mixing adventure & historical fact, Molinski takes the reader on a thrilling ride through the faraway and mysterious Mosquito Coast of Nicaragua. Like James Michener, he mixes well-researched history in a story that includes adventurers, missionaries, Indians, the richest of American society and down-on-their-luck denizens. An exhilarating debut!" -- Joan Kruckewitt, author of The Death of Ben Linder: The Story of a Northamerican in Sandinista Nicaragua and former ABC Radio correspondent in Nicaragua. "Who knew that the Mosquito Coast played such a large role in the start of U.S. imperialism, industrialization, slavery and the Civil War? What's frightening is that the same thing seems to be taking place today on a global scale." -- Karl Taro Greenfeld, former Time magazine senior writer and author of Speed Tribes and Triburbia. In this explosive novel of Central America and the United States, acclaimed storyteller and foreign correspondent Michael Molinski takes readers on a journey back in time to the days of pre-Civil War United States, when the U.S. was just beginning to be recognized as a world power. Competing countries, religions and capitalists were fighting over who would dominate and control the Caribbean and Central America, and the people of the region were doing their best to control their own destiny. THE ROOTS OF IMPERIALISM It is 1851 and Nick Malone is faced with a life-changing decision: should he remain as a Wall Street trader and marry his socialite fiancé, or should he follow those who are seeking riches in the California Gold Rush. Or, should he choose a third option: an offer from wealthy American statesman Cornelius Vanderbilt to go to Nicaragua and open a new transoceanic transportation route and canal across Central America? Follow Nick's decision as he sets off on a series of adventures that plots the course for the future of Central America but also of U.S. imperialism, global capitalism, Civil War and Manifest Destiny; and how his romance with a strong-willed Moravian missionary affected all of that. Miskito It is 1864, 13 years after Nick Malone first set foot in Nicaragua, and Anna Henkel is preparing a speech: "This is the labor code of the United States of America," she said, holding up a thick book for all to see, her voice raising as she did so and growing stronger. "This is the labor code of the great country of England," she said, raising an even thicker book in her other hand. She then picked up a blank piece of white writing paper. "This," she said, "is the labor code of the Mosquito Coast... "We are in the nineteenth century, yet we are living in the Dark Ages. Slavery is being abolished everywhere. The United States is fighting a war on the issue. And here on the Mosquito Coast we can't even give rights to white workers, let alone blacks and Indians. Mr. Malone is right. Business is going to pick up here once more foreigners like him realize the tremendous potential of our natural resources. Do we want to give them everything and get nothing in return? Because that is exactly what they will do...and then they will leave, and we will be just as poor as when they got here." "

Download or read book America s Alligator written by Doug Alderson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have long been fascinated by the American alligator. Ever since humans arrived on the continent more than 15,000 years ago, the American alligator has been both feared and revered, celebrated and scorned, and often hunted for food and hide. Once tourism began to take hold in the South as a real industry, especially in Florida, the alligator took on iconic and even mythical status. “One of the most picturesque features of Florida has always been that uncouth and fierce-looking reptile called the alligator,” wrote Nevin O. Winter in 1918. “Everybody who comes down here to the peninsula has an ambition to see one in the wild.” Seminole Indians wrestled alligators for show. Alligator souvenirs and mascots often took what people feared—a sharp-toothed predator—and made it into something cute and cuddly. Alligator-themed songs were recorded and released, including “See You Later Alligator” by Bill Haley and His Comets. Hollywood into created alligator-themed movies such as Alligator People. Alligators were also reportedly kept in the White House under two presidencies. And perhaps the most unusual alligator story was one that helped to nab Ma Barker and her son Fred when they were hiding out along Florida’s Lake Weir. America’s Alligator examines the colorful and sometimes conflicted relationship our species has had with Alligator mississippiensis. Doug Alderson explores the country’s rich alligator mythology and how it inspired various forms of art, stories, photography, tourism and even humor.
