Book excerpt: "Alcoholism and addiction have probably touched everyone in America. In that sense, Mike Matson's story is one for us all. Matson tells his personal story with humanity, humor, and real introspection. His story is one that inspires us toward an understanding of self." Kevin Willmott, Academy Award winning screenwriter of BlacKkKlansman. "By navigating us through his own early adult conscience, Mike Matson provides a roadmap for those with loved ones suffering with addiction. His own addiction-related behaviors and choices are guideposts and landmarks, offering friends and families of the addict a place to start." Linda Richey Graves, former First Lady of the state of Kansas "If we were to choose someone to become an addict, Mike Matson would be my choice. I know that sounds strange, but his skill to recall his past and describe it is invaluable. His service is to explore the addict's journey, detail by detail, however unpleasant. He's cut open a vein to give us a gift." Bill Kurtis, Television journalist, producer, and documentarian "Matson's naked accounting of his early adult life drug me into his story in a way that few books have. He not only involved me in his early life but caused me to think about mine more deeply than I have in years." Jake Huyett, Founding partner, Jones-Huyett Partners marketing/brand strategy firm "Mike Matson's exquisite, meticulous, and sometimes painful details, sculpt his story of addiction with vulnerability, courage, and humor. Matson transports the reader back in time to the 1970s with the aroma of Love's Baby Soft, feathered hair, and 'The Hustle.'" Michel' Cole, Kansas Corporate Communications Executive Emeritus "With humor, self-awareness, and a deep sense of the spirit and faith that ultimately saved him, Mike Matson shares the harrowing story of how his youthful success in broadcasting was intertwined with a growing alcohol dependency that nearly ruined his life. If your dreams and hunger have ever taken you down a destructive path-or if you know someone like that-Mike's story is sure to connect." Alex Heard, Author, Editorial Director of Outside magazine, former editor of Wired and The New York Times Magazine "Courtesy Boy does a courtesy for all of us. Matson's gift of storytelling coupled with incredible vulnerability, brings to life how addiction develops and takes hold. He gives voice to the type of unspoken feelings and experiences that dictate our lives." Ed O'Malley, President & CEO, Kansas Leadership Center

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who will be brave enough to make friends with the boy named Queen? Sara Cassidy’s acclaimed novel, A Boy Named Queen, is now available in paperback! Evelyn is both aghast and fascinated when a new boy comes to grade five and tells everyone his name is Queen. Queen wears shiny gym shorts and wants to organize a chess/environment club. His father plays weird loud music and has tattoos. How will the class react? How will Evelyn? Evelyn is an only child with a strict routine and an even stricter mother. And yet in her quiet way she notices things. She notices the way bullies don’t seem to faze Queen. The way he seems to live by his own rules. When it turns out that they take the same route home from school, Evelyn and Queen become friends, even if she finds Queen irritating at times. Why doesn’t he just shut up and stop attracting so much attention to himself. Yet Queen is the most interesting person she has ever met. So when she receives a last-minute invitation to his birthday party, she knows she must somehow persuade her mother to let her go, even if Queen’s world upends everything her mother considers appropriate.

Book excerpt: Levi just wants to be treated like a typical kid. As a baby, he had a serious disease that caused him respiratory issues. He's fine now, but his mom and overprotective brother still think of him as damaged, and his schoolmates see him as the same class clown he's always been. He feels stuck. So when his dad—divorced from his mom—suggests he take up boxing, he falls in love with the sport. And when he finds out about a school with a killer boxing team and a free-study curriculum, it feels like he's found a ticket to a new Levi. But how can he tell his mom about boxing? And how can he convince his family to set him free?

Download or read book Raw Histories written by Elizabeth Edwards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographs have had an integral and complex role in many anthropological contexts, from fieldwork to museum exhibitions. This book explores how approaching anthropological photographs as 'history' can offer both theoretical and empirical insights into these roles. Photographs are thought to make problematic history because of their ambiguity and 'rawness'. In short, they have too many meanings. The author refutes this prejudice by exploring, through a series of case studies, precisely the potential of this raw quality to open up new perspectives. Taking the nature of photography as her starting point, the author argues that photographs are not merely pictures of things but are part of a dynamic and fluid historical dialogue, which is active not only in the creation of the photograph but in its subsequent social biography in archive and museum spaces, past and present. In this context, the book challenges any uniform view of anthropological photography and its resulting archives. Drawing on a variety of examples, largely from the Pacific, the book demonstrates how close readings of photographs reveal not only western agendas, but also many layers of differing historical and cross-cultural experiences. That is, photographs can 'spring leaks' to show an alternative viewpoint. These themes are developed further by examining the dynamics of photographs and issues around them as used by contemporary artists and curators and presented to an increasingly varied public. This book convincingly demonstrates photographs' potential to articulate histories other than those of their immediate appearances, a potential that can no longer be neglected by scholars and institutions.
