Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Bunnell introduces readers to the places and people that he encounters during his one day, 280-mile road trip from his boyhood Nebraska hometown to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to visit his longtime friend, Vernell White Thunder, a full-blooded Oglala Lakota, descendant of a long line of prominent chiefs and medicine men. Bunnell also shares treasured memories of his time living on and teaching at the reservation, exposing the difficult life and experiences faced by the descendants of Crazy Horse, Red Cloud, and Sitting Bull while illuminating their courageous resiliency. During the violent 70s, he met Russell Means and smuggled food to radical Indians at Wounded Knee. Peppered with Vernell White Thunder's own stories of growing up in a one-room log house with his medicine man grandfather, Bunnell begs the reader to join in on the poignant conversations about present-day Native Americans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good Friday on the Rez follows the author on a one-day, 280-mile round-trip from his boyhood Nebraska hometown of Alliance to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, where he reconnects with his longtime friend and blood brother, Vernell White Thunder. In a compelling mix of personal memoir and recent American Indian history, David Hugh Bunnell debunks the prevalent myth that all is hopeless for these descendants of Crazy Horse, Red Cloud, and Sitting Bull and shows how the Lakota people have recovered their pride and dignity and why they will ultimately triumph. What makes this narrative special is Bunnell's own personal experience of close to forty years of friendships and connections on the Rez, as well as his firsthand exposure to some of the historic events. When he lived on Pine Ridge at the same time of the American Indian Movement's seventy-one-day siege at Wounded Knee in 1973, he met Russell Means and got a glimpse behind the barricades. Bunnell has also seen the more recent cultural resurgence firsthand, attending powwows and celebrations, and even getting into the business of raising a herd of bison. Substantive and raw, Good Friday on the Rez is for readers who care about the historical struggles and the ongoing plight of Native Americans, and in particular, that of the Lakota Sioux, who defeated the U.S. Army twice, and whose leaders have become recognized as among America's greatest historical figures. Good Friday on the Rez is a dramatic page-turner, an incredible true story that tracks the torment and miraculous resurrection of Native American pride, spirituality, and culture—how things got to be the way they are, where they are going, and why we should care.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jesus and the Resurrection: Thirty Addresses for Good Friday and Easter The addresses in this volume were mostly given in S. Mark's, Philadelphia; those on the Seven Words on Good Friday, 1897, and the greater part of the others at different Eastertides. They are reproduced from the stenographer's notes, and are intended for devotional reading or as helps to meditation, and as sermon notes for the Clergy. As every picture needs its background, so the joys of Easter require the gloom of Good Friday to show them in their true light. Easter is not only a revelation of life, but of life from the dead; it tells not only of the rising of our Ford, but of His resurrection from the dead. Hence this book begins with the Death on Calvary, with the last. Words from the Cross as a background. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface The addresses in this volume were mostly given in S. Mark's, Philadelphia; those on the Seven Words on Good Friday, 1897, and the greater part of the others at different Eastertides. They are reproduced from the stenographer's notes, and are intended for devotional reading or as helps to meditation, and as sermon notes for the Clergy. As every picture needs its background, so the joys of Easter require the gloom of Good Friday to show them in their true light. Easter is not only a revelation of life, but of life from the dead; it tells not only of the rising of our Lord, but of His resurrection from the dead. Hence this book begins with the Death on Calvary, with the last Words from the Cross as a background. These are taken as the heptachord of love; the relation of the notes of the musical scale to their tonic and to one another being used to illustrate the relation of our Lord's Seven Words to their great key-note, Love. Each of the Words is considered as a manifestation of some special characteristic of love. After the Words from the Cross come the Eastertide addresses; the first one taking up the Good Friday thought, the power of love; and they deal with all the recorded appearances of our Lord after His resurrection, concluding with His appearance to S. Paul on the road to Damascus. The book is the result of a remark made by a parishioner last Easter, that while the supply of devotional reading for Lent is so abundant, there are but few books which treat of Easter and the Great Forty Days. If this little book in any way helps to supply this need, I shall be more than thankful. Alfred G. Mortimer. S. Mark's, Philadelphia, Feast of the Purification, 1898.

Download or read book American Health Crisis written by Martin Halliwell and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of U.S. public health emergencies and how we can turn the tide. Despite enormous advances in medical science and public health education over the last century, access to health care remains a dominant issue in American life. U.S. health care is often hailed as the best in the world, yet the public health emergencies of today often echo the public health emergencies of yesterday: consider the Great Influenza Pandemic of 1918–19 and COVID-19, the displacement of the Dust Bowl and the havoc of Hurricane Maria, the Reagan administration’s antipathy toward the AIDS epidemic and the lack of accountability during the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. Spanning the period from the presidency of Woodrow Wilson to that of Donald Trump, American Health Crisis illuminates how—despite the elevation of health care as a human right throughout the world—vulnerable communities in the United States continue to be victimized by structural inequalities across disparate geographies, income levels, and ethnic groups. Martin Halliwell views contemporary public health crises through the lens of historical and cultural revisionings, suturing individual events together into a narrative of calamity that has brought us to our current crisis in health politics. American Health Crisis considers the future of public health in the United States and, presenting a reinvigorated concept of health citizenship, argues that now is the moment to act for lasting change.
