Download or read book Asian Indians of Chicago written by Indo-American Center and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the infectious rhythm of the bhangra dance and the sizzle of the tandoori platter to landmark achievements in research laboratories and corporate boardrooms, the Asian Indian presence has very quickly become a lively and colorful part of the daily life of the Chicago metropolitan area. Arriving in Chicago in the mid 60s, the first wave of Indians were mostly professionals who intended to return home. But as they stayed on and were joined by others, their population began to reflect the tremendous ethnic, linguistic, and religious diversity of India. Today, Indians are the largest Asian-American immigrant group in the Chicago area. Recognizing that first-hand resources would still be available for compiling their history, the Indo-American Center appealed to Chicago area residents of Indian origin and to their organizations to select photographs and documents from their personal collections to tell the story of the community. This book is a result of their enthusiastic response. Here, then, is a history in the making, -the record, in pictures, of the life of a diverse and vibrant community as told by the people who live it and shape its course.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ongon: A Tale of Early Chicago Her maid and companion, now called Gurgling Water, and now Josie, was younger in years, Indian, and from her speech educated. Once Jean had called her pretty and roguish - the very spirit of a merry smile that had taken a fourteen-year - ply sunburn, and thence had turned up human and feminine. Then the mistress had been answered by a devotion of eyes. Savage is the delight for praise. The two were kneeling in the sands with flowers, rejoicing in a strangely fascinating task. They had formed a cross of wild prim roses, and the letters 0. A. Of violets upon a delicate framework of primrose stems. The Indian girl had enjoyed the play of trying to make her fingers move as deftly as those of her mistress, while laughingly endeavoring as well to grasp with a quick mind the mystery of words.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sun Dance of the Crow Indians That the central idea in the performance was indeed the desire for revenge, is proved by the fact that the ceremony closed with the super natural revelation sought. In an exceptional instance referred to by many informants even the vision proved unnecessary: one of the enemy had been caught and killed in camp on the first night of the ceremony proper, and this immediately put a stop to the proceedings. The native interpretation of this case is that the whistler was unusually fortunate in thus having the period of his suffering terminated at the very start.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Chicago: The Lumber Interests The settlement of New Connecticut on the Western Reserve, Ohio, which practically dated from about 1826 or 1830, was but the pushing farther of the outposts which were the result of the emigration from New England into the central and western portions of New York and Pennsylvania. While a few small settlements dotted the banks of the Mississippi from St. Louis to New Orleans, the upper Mississippi and the country west of it were practically unknown except as Indian lands, and he was indeed a hardy and daring pioneer who ventured as far west as the Great Lakes, and small indeed the chances of the adventurer who sought to penetrate the region beyond.

Download or read book The Polar Regions written by Adrian Howkins and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-11-20 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The environmental histories of the Arctic and Antarctica are characterised by contrast and contradiction. These are places that have witnessed some of the worst environmental degradation in recent history. But they are also the locations of some of the most farsighted measures of environmental protection. They are places where people have sought to conquer nature through exploration and economic development, but in many ways they remain wild and untamed. They are the coldest places on Earth, yet have come to occupy an important role in the science and politics of global warming. Despite being located at opposite ends of the planet and being significantly different in many ways, Adrian Howkins argues that the environmental histories of the Arctic and Antarctica share much in common and have often been closely connected. This book also argues that the Polar Regions are strongly linked to the rest of the world, both through physical processes and through intellectual and political themes. As places of inherent contradiction, the Polar Regions have much to contribute to the way we think about environmental history and the environment more generally.
Download or read book Changes in the Land written by William Cronon and published by Hill and Wang. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book that launched environmental history, William Cronon's Changes in the Land, now revised and updated. Winner of the Francis Parkman Prize In this landmark work of environmental history, William Cronon offers an original and profound explanation of the effects European colonists' sense of property and their pursuit of capitalism had upon the ecosystems of New England. Reissued here with an updated afterword by the author and a new preface by the distinguished colonialist John Demos, Changes in the Land, provides a brilliant inter-disciplinary interpretation of how land and people influence one another. With its chilling closing line, "The people of plenty were a people of waste," Cronon's enduring and thought-provoking book is ethno-ecological history at its best.
Download or read book The Pleistocene Features and Deposits of the Chicago Area Classic Reprint written by Frank Leverett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pleistocene Features and Deposits of the Chicago Area The following report, based upon my personal investigations, collections and studies, during a period of many years, has been prepared by invitation of the Board of Managers of the Geological and Natural History Survey of The Chicago Academy of Sciences. As directed by the Board the report covers an area comprising all of Cook and Du Page Counties, nine townships in the northwest part of Will County, and a portion of Lake County, Indiana. This territory might be thought sufficiently large to furnish an attractive field and ample material for the investigation and study of lichens, yet with the exception of the most common species, a few of which are cosmopolitan in their habits, the explorer will meet with a dis appointment not to be experienced further south and west in regions-where the conditions of the soil, the geological features of the country, and the climate favor a larger development of species. Hence mountainous districts and the extreme South offer the great est variety oi forms, those of Florida being largely semi-tropical and identical with West Indian and Central American species, especially in certain genera, as Graphis and Arthonia. However, in the field under our consideration, enough varieties occur to form an excellent preliminary course of study, fitting the student for larger views and greater results when he has become familiar with the Parmelias and Physcias which are so abundant on oaks and other trees along the lake shore and in the wooded islands of the prairies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit Lake Massacre The massacre of the white settlers in the region of Lake Okoboji and Spirit Lake in 1857 by a band of Indians under the leadership of Inkpaduta has come to be known as "The Spirit Lake Massacre," although the tragedy was for the most part enacted on the borders of Lake Okoboji. There seems, however, to be no substantial reason for renaming the episode in the interest of geographical accuracy; and so in this volume the familiar designation of "The Spirit Lake Massacre" has been retained.
