Download or read book Grassland Journal written by Chi Cheng and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-06-28 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the author's story written by tears. He is the center of this odyssey as a participant and an observer. It's a story about the loss of innocence, freedom, family, comfort, and family and about the good tradition of the Chinese culture that is slowly being lost. But it's also a story about gain and growth: gaining a few cultures and languages, new friends and trust, of experience and education, humility, of freedom, and regaining of self. Chi is not a hero in this narrative, just an ordinary man groping for meaning in his efforts to heal and help others. It is also a story of his own healing among the nomads of the grassland of Inner Mongolia. He survived and grew ever stronger in his own faith. It chronicles the tragedy of a Christian family during the chaos of China's Cultural Revolution launched by Mao Zedong in 1966. The author's parents were detained, beaten, and abused by Red Rebels in 1968, due to in 1952, they held a farewell party for Dr. Frank W. Price, a former pastor in Shanghai, and because during China's 1959 through 1962 national starvation, they received foreign food from their siblings living in the United States. In 1968, the author's fourteen-year-old sister's application to a reunion with her sister who lived near the northern national border was turned down, so she had to cut her fingertips, then wrote a pledge with the blood. The author records the primitive life of Mongolian nomads during his trip to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia to look for his two sisters and how he overcame difficulties with Mao Zedong badges as well as his unique acupuncture skills. Chinese words and names using the pinyin system are in BOLD font. Mongolian names and words are in italic font. There are twenty photos/illustrations.

Download or read book The Size of the Risk written by Leisl Carr Childers and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2015-10-09 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Basin, a stark and beautiful desert filled with sagebrush deserts and mountain ranges, is the epicenter for public lands conflicts. Arising out of the multiple, often incompatible uses created throughout the twentieth century, these struggles reveal the tension inherent within the multiple use concept, a management philosophy that promises equitable access to the region’s resources and economic gain to those who live there. Multiple use was originally conceived as a way to legitimize the historical use of public lands for grazing without precluding future uses, such as outdoor recreation, weapons development, and wildlife management. It was applied to the Great Basin to bring the region, once seen as worthless, into the national economic fold. Land managers, ranchers, mining interests, wilderness and wildlife advocates, outdoor recreationists, and even the military adopted this ideology to accommodate, promote, and sanction a multitude of activities on public lands, particularly those overseen by the Bureau of Land Management. Some of these uses are locally driven and others are nationally mandated, but all have exacted a cost from the region’s human and natural environment. In The Size of the Risk, Leisl Carr Childers shows how different constituencies worked to fill the presumed “empty space” of the Great Basin with a variety of land-use regimes that overlapped, conflicted, and ultimately harmed the environment and the people who depended on the region for their livelihoods. She looks at the conflicts that arose from the intersection of an ever-increasing number of activities, such as nuclear testing and wild horse preservation, and how Great Basin residents have navigated these conflicts. Carr Childers’s study of multiple use in the Great Basin highlights the complex interplay between the state, society, and the environment, allowing us to better understand the ongoing reality of living in the American West.

Book excerpt: For more than sixty years, The Wall Street Journal has prided itself not just on its serious journalism, but also on the whimsical and arcane stories that amuse and delight its readers. In that regard, animal stories have proven to be the most beloved of all. Now, veteran Journal reporter and Page One editor Ken Wells gathers the finest, funniest, and most fascinating of these animal tales in one exceptional book. Here are lighthearted, witty stories of breakthroughs in goldfish surgery, the untiring efforts of British animal lovers who guide lovesick toads across dangerous motorways, and the quest to tame doggy anxieties by prescribing the human pacifier Prozac. Other pieces reflect on mankind's impact on the animal kingdom: a close-up look at the nascent fish-rights movement, the retirement of U.S. Air Force chimpanzees that once soared through space, and ongoing scientific efforts to defeat that most hardy enemy -- the cockroach. Each of these fifty-odd stories -- from the outlandish to the poignant -- exemplifies the superb feature writing that makes The Wall Street Journal one of America's best-written newspapers. This charming and utterly captivating collection will be a joy not only to animal lovers, but to all those who appreciate artful storytelling by writers who are obviously having a wonderful time spinning the tales.

An enslaved groom named Jarret and a bay foal forge a bond of understanding that will carry the horse to record-setting victories across the South. When the nation erupts in civil war, an itinerant young artist who has made his name on paintings of the racehorse takes up arms for the Union. On a perilous night, he reunites with the stallion and his groom, very far from the glamor of any racetrack. New York City, 1954. Martha Jackson, a gallery owner celebrated for taking risks on edgy contemporary painters, becomes obsessed with a nineteenth-century equestrian oil painting of mysterious provenance. Washington, DC, 2019. Jess, a Smithsonian scientist from Australia, and Theo, a Nigerian-American art historian, find themselves unexpectedly connected through their shared interest in the horse—one studying the stallion’s bones for clues to his power and endurance, the other uncovering the lost history of the unsung Black horsemen who were critical to his racing success. Based on the remarkable true story of the record-breaking thoroughbred Lexington, Horse is a novel of art and science, love and obsession, and our unfinished reckoning with racism.
