Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was a simpler time as widower Jacob Ernst struggles to raise his two young sons, Nathan and Mead, on their modest farm. They've grown up listening to the nighttime songs of hounds in the pursuit of the wily ringtail. Chasing raccoon through darkened hills, Jacob teaches his sons the legends of their hometown and a deep respect for all woodland creatures. Hunting and the lessons taught keep the Ernst family together. And the brothers bond with their dogs-loyal to one another until the end. For this is Painted Post-a storied place where the lessons of life, love, and death play out beneath its mighty oaks. But worlds collide. Evil follows the Ernst family and their hounds into these mystical hills. The scourge of the illegal drug trade, coupled with the treachery of one of their own, leads to an inevitable showdown. Some will learn that not all of Painted Post's vivid tales are pure legend, and this rugged woodland will wield its own brutal justice. For in the darkest hollows, solid bonds are forged.
Download or read book Queer Studies and Education written by Nelson M. Rodriguez and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queer Studies and Education: An International Reader explores how the category queer, as a critical stance or set of perspectives, contributes to opportunities individually and collectively for advancing (queer) social justice within the context and concerns of schooling and education. The collection takes up this general goal by presenting a cross-section of international perspectives on queer studies in education to demonstrate commonalities, differences, uncertainties, or pluralities across a diverse range of national contexts and topics, drawing a heightened awareness of heterodominance and heteropatriarchy, and to conceptualize non-normative and non-essentialist imaginings for more inclusive educational environments. Collectively, the chapters critically engage with heteronormativity and normativity more generally as a political spectrum, over a broad range of formal and informal sites of education, and against a backdrop of critiques of liberalism and neoliberalism as the frameworks through which "achievable" social change and belonging are fostered, particularly within educational settings. Taken together, the chapters assembled in Queer Studies and Education invite researchers, scholars, educators, activists, and other cultural workers to examine the multiplicity of contemporary (international) work in queer studies and education with readers' interpretations of queer's deployment across the chapters forming the compass for which to arrive at fresh insights and forms of (queer) critical praxis.

Download or read book An Awkward Inheritance written by A. K. Gentry and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-02-08 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allie Mitchell owns half of the Mitchell Farm. Her uncle, Lee Mitchell, owns the other half. Life is pleasant and predictable for Allie until her uncle dies suddenly. Grief turns to dismay and anger when she finds out that Lee left half of his share of the farm to his wife's nephew, Jacob Stone, who is a complete stranger to Allie. To make matters worse, Jacob is required to live on the farm for one year before he can sell his share to Allie. Awkward does not accurately describe how Jacob and Allie feel about their situation. Also, no one knew Jacob was bringing his six-year-old siblings, Mandy and Michael. Allie and Jacob find themselves in a whirlwind of tensions, misunderstandings, humor, friendship, and the possibility of romance. They must also overcome speculation and gossip in the small town of Whitlow and the interference of others who want to cause disharmony in their already uncomfortable situation.

Download or read book United States Army in WWII the Pacific Seizure of the Gilberts and Marshalls written by Philip A. Crowl and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 819 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Includes 4 tables, 3 charts, 27 maps and 90 illustrations] Seizure of the Gilberts and Marshalls deals with amphibious warfare as waged by American forces against the Japanese-held atolls of the Central Pacific during World War II... The atoll operations described in this volume were amphibious from beginning to end. They were not simple seaborne hit-and-run raids of the Dieppe type. The objective was to secure the atolls as steppingstones to the next advance. The islands were relatively small, permitting continual naval and air support of the ground operations. Some outstanding examples of the co-ordination of fire support by artillery, naval gunfire, and air are found in this book. The advantages of simple plans and the disadvantages of the more complicated will stand out for the careful reader. The story of the capture of these atolls of Micronesia offers some of the best examples of combined operations that are available in the annals of modern war. Ground, sea, and air components were always present, and the effectiveness with which they were combined and co-ordinated accounts in large measure for the rapid success enjoyed in these instances by American arms. From the point of view of strategy, the significance of this volume lies in the fact that it tells the story of the beginnings of the drive across the Central Pacific toward the Japanese homeland. This concept of defeating Japan by pushing directly westward from Hawaii through the island bases of the mid-Pacific was traditional in American strategic thinking, but had never been put to test and was seriously challenged in some quarters. As is shown here, the test was first made in the campaigns against the Gilberts and Marshalls, the outcome was successful, and the experience gained was of inestimable value in planning for the subsequent conduct of the war in the Pacific.
