Download or read book Writing BLUE HIGHWAYS written by William Least Heat-Moon and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2014-05-13 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, Distinguished Literary Achievement, Missouri Humanities Council, 2015 The story behind the writing of the best-selling Blue Highways is as fascinating as the epic trip itself. More than thirty years after his 14,000-mile, 38-state journey, William Least Heat-Moon reflects on the four years he spent capturing the lessons of the road trip on paper—the stops and starts in his composition process, the numerous drafts and painstaking revisions, the depressing string of rejections by publishers, the strains on his personal relationships, and many other aspects of the toil that went into writing his first book. Along the way, he traces the hard lessons learned and offers guidance to aspiring and experienced writers alike. Far from being a technical manual, Writing Blue Highways: The Story of How a Book Happenedis an adventure story of its own, a journey of “exploration into the myriad routes of heart and mind that led to the making of a book from the first sorry and now vanished paragraph to the last words that came not from a graphite pencil but from a letterpress in Tennessee.” Readers will not find a collection of abstract formulations and rules for writing; rather, this book gracefully incorporates examples from Heat-Moon’s own experience. As he explains, “This story might be termed an inadvertent autobiography written not by the traveler who took Ghost Dancing in 1978 over the byroads of America but by a man only listening to him. That blue-roadman hasn’t been seen in more than a third of a century, and over the last many weeks as I sketched in these pages, I’ve regretted his inevitable departure.” Filtered as the struggles of the “blue-roadman” are through the awareness of someone more than thirty years older with a half dozen subsequent books to his credit, the story of how his first book “happened” is all the more resonant for readers who may not themselves be writers but who are interested in the tricky balance of intuitive creation and self-discipline required for any artistic endeavor.

Download or read book Gangs of the El Paso Ju rez Borderland written by Mike Tapia and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2019-12-15 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking book examines gang history in the region encompassing West Texas, Southern New Mexico, and Northern Chihuahua, Mexico. Known as the El Paso–Juárez borderland region, the area contains more than three million people spanning 130 miles from east to west. From the badlands—the historically notorious eastern Valle de Juárez—to the Puerto Palomas port of entry at Columbus, New Mexico, this area has become more militarized and politicized than ever before. Mike Tapia examines this region by exploring a century of historical developments through a criminological lens and by studying the diverse subcultures on both sides of the law. Tapia looks extensively at the role of history and geography on criminal subculture formation in the binational urban setting of El Paso–Juárez, demonstrating the region’s unique context for criminogenic processes. He provides a poignant case study of Homeland Security and the apparent lack of drug-war spillover in communities on the US-Mexico border.
Download or read book Who Rules El Paso written by Oscar J Martinez and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who Rules El Paso? To answer this question, a reader might respond that the mayor and city council representatives rule the city of El Paso. On deeper examination, less visible forces appear to shape many of the representatives' decisions-like puppeteers pulling the strings. In this evidence-based book with multiple sections, readers can better understand recent historical and current perspectives on developers' designs for the downtown, political campaign contributions, land deals, the travesty of the University of Texas at El Paso presidential appointment, and case studies of downtown boondoggles past and planned-all within the impending disaster of a heavily indebted city and high property taxes.
Download or read book Solito Solita written by Steven Mayers and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They are a mass migration of thousands, yet each one travels alone. Solito, Solita (Alone, Alone), shortlisted for the 2019 Juan E. Méndez Book Award for Human Rights in Latin America, is an urgent collection of oral histories that tells—in their own words—the story of young refugees fleeing countries in Central America and traveling for hundreds of miles to seek safety and protection in the United States. Fifteen narrators describe why they fled their homes, what happened on their dangerous journeys through Mexico, how they crossed the borders, and for some, their ongoing struggles to survive in the United States. In an era of fear, xenophobia, and outright lies, these stories amplify the compelling voices of migrant youth. What can they teach us about abuse and abandonment, bravery and resilience, hypocrisy and hope? They bring us into their hearts and onto streets filled with the lure of freedom and fraught with violence. From fending off kidnappers with knives and being locked in freezing holding cells to tearful reunions with parents, Solito, Solita’s narrators bring to light the experiences of young people struggling for a better life across the border. This collection includes the story of Adrián, from Guatemala City, whose mother was shot to death before his eyes. He refused to join a gang, rode across Mexico atop cargo trains, crossed the US border as a minor, and was handcuffed and thrown into ICE detention on his eighteenth birthday. We hear the story of Rosa, a Salvadoran mother fighting to save her life as well as her daughter’s after death squads threatened her family. Together they trekked through the jungles on the border between Guatemala and Mexico, where masked men assaulted them. We also meet Gabriel, who after surviving sexual abuse starting at the age of eight fled to the United States, and through study, legal support and work, is now attending UC Berkeley.

Download or read book USPTO Trademark Law and Practice written by Loletta Darden and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2024-11-04 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first edition coursebook is a unique trademark law text that combines in-depth discussion of substantive law with a practitioner-focused approach. While USPTO Trademark Law and Practice draws on case law to teach trademark law, the book also teaches practical applications by thoroughly examining the Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure (TMEP), and then demonstrating how to use it when seeking federal registration of trademarks from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The text acts as a guidebook that illustrates how to practice before the USPTO, making it essential to both teachers of trademark law and to aspiring lawyers planning to focus on this field. The concise text provides students with a conceptual framework for understanding key issues and is designed to progress seamlessly from theory to practice. From this vantage point, the book addresses a market need for a course that ditches the esoterica of current casebooks in favor of material that prepares students for trademark law practice. Key Features: Case Illustrations that demonstrate landmark decisions in trademark law Legal Practice Notes that highlight key doctrines Test Your Knowledge questions that ask students to imagine themselves in the role of the trademark law attorney and to describe how they would handle various scenarios Application exercises that ask students to anticipate how judges might rule in trademark cases, thereby allowing them to test their understanding of policies and more deeply think through their consequences An entire chapter devoted to conducting searches on the USPTO database Professors and students will benefit from: A practitioner-centered approach Concise but comprehensive coverage of trademark law Helpful summaries of key concepts throughout Relevant trademark images, documents, and applications that are fully integrated into the casebook and offer students a real-world learning experience Comments and questions throughout the text that prompt critical thinking and prepare students to engage in classroom discussion Multiple exercises that can be used for either independent or in-class assignments
