Download or read book Valley of the Guns written by Eduardo Obregón Pagán and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1880s, Pleasant Valley, Arizona, descended into a nightmare of violence, murder, and mayhem. By the time the Pleasant Valley War was over, eighteen men were dead, four were wounded, and one was missing, never to be found. Valley of the Guns explores the reasons for the violence that engulfed the settlement, turning neighbors, families, and friends against one another. While popular historians and novelists have long been captivated by the story, the Pleasant Valley War has more recently attracted the attention of scholars interested in examining the underlying causes of western violence. In this book, author Eduardo Obregón Pagán explores how geography and demographics aligned to create an unstable settlement subject to the constant threat of Apache raids. The fear of surprise attack by day and the theft of livestock by night prompted settlers to shape their lives around the expectation of sudden violence. As the forces of progress strained natural resources, conflict grew between local ranchers and cowboys hired by ranching corporations. Mixed-race property owners found themselves fighting white cowboys to keep their land. In addition, territorial law enforcement officers were outsiders to the community and approached every suspect fully armed and ready to shoot. The combination of unrelenting danger, its accompanying stress, and an abundance of firearms proved deadly. Drawing from history, geography, cultural studies, and trauma studies, Pagán uses the story of Pleasant Valley to demonstrate a new way of looking at the settlement of the West. Writing in a vivid narrative style and employing rigorous scholarship, he creatively explores the role of trauma in shaping the lives and decisions of the settlers in Pleasant Valley and offers new insight into the difficulties of survival in an isolated frontier community.

Download or read book Recovering Histories written by Nicholas Bartlett and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heroin first reached Gejiu, a Chinese city in southern Yunnan known as Tin Capital, in the 1980s. Widespread use of the drug, which for a short period became “easier to buy than vegetables,” coincided with radical changes in the local economy caused by the marketization of the mining industry. More than two decades later, both the heroin epidemic and the mining boom are often discussed as recent history. Middle-aged long-term heroin users, however, complain that they feel stuck in an earlier moment of the country’s rapid reforms, navigating a world that no longer resembles either the tightly knit Maoist work units of their childhood or the disorienting but opportunity-filled chaos of their early careers. Overcoming addiction in Gejiu has become inseparable from broader attempts to reimagine laboring lives in a rapidly shifting social world. Drawing on more than eighteen months of fieldwork, Nicholas Bartlett explores how individuals’ varying experiences of recovery highlight shared challenges of inhabiting China’s contested present.
Download or read book Springs of Hope in the Seasons of Despair written by Dr. Babu Ram and published by Yorkshire Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seasons of despair are causing relentless misery and pain, death, and destruction worldwide. The darkness blanketing hope is thickened by archaic beliefs and traditions, bigotry, greed, falsehoods, and ideological and religious fault lines. These negative forces perpetuate fear, disillusionment, and confusion, and nurture despondency in society. Changing narratives further blur the line between truth and untruth, shifting the public's perception in favor of vested interests in the society. The human resilience, social cohesion, and political stability are challenged. How does one come out victorious through the seasons of despair? Springs of Hope in the Seasons of Despair is built on the core foundations of the unwavering human spirit: faith, integrity, ingenuity, mutual love, respect, and trust. Through poetry, the author brilliantly illustrates how to create everlasting Springs of Hope in our hearts and minds, leaving behind the seasons of despair. The poems are universal, with flavors of American, African, Chinese, and Indian culture and ethos. They shade light on society's pains, pleasures, hopes and dreams. These poems are inspirational and uplifting, and guide the reader on how to avoid the traps of even darkest despair.

Download or read book Pathways to High Tech Valleys and Research Triangles written by Willem Hulsink and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-05-23 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the book The contents of most of the chapters included in this volume were originally presented and discussed during the academic workshop ‘High-tech Valleys and Research Triangles in the East of the Netherlands and elsewhere’, held on 30 November and 1 December 2005 at the Wageningen International Congress Centre (WICC) in the Netherlands. At that time we had an informal agreement with Rob Bogers, series editor of the Wageningen UR Frontis book series that, if the quality and quantity of the talks and papers at the seminar would be sufficient and if there was willingness among the (potential) authors, an edited book volume based upon the results of the workshop would be a possibility. After the workshop, when we had a critical mass of ten chapters and a dedicated group of committed authors, the book project was given the green light. As editors we realized that there were still a couple of topics and themes missing, and when we had found colleagues for these four additional chapters that needed to be written, our Frontis book was on the roll! Although most of the time it was great fun, the whole process of writing, reviewing, rewriting, editing and proofreading took a lot of time; much more time than we originally had foreseen. We would like to thank all authors of the fourteen chapters of this book for their excellent contributions.

This book was released on 2023-04-25 with total page 918 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Isaiah has been regarded from the earliest Christian period as a key part of the Old Testament's witness to Jesus Christ. This commentary by highly regarded Old Testament scholar J. Gordon McConville draws on the best of biblical scholarship as well as the Christian tradition to offer a substantive and useful commentary on Isaiah. McConville treats Isaiah as an ancient Israelite document that speaks to twenty-first-century Christians. He examines the text section by section--offering a fresh translation, textual notes, paragraph-level commentary, and theological reflection--and shows how the prophetic words are framed to persuade audiences. Grounded in rigorous scholarship but useful for those who preach and teach, this volume is the second in a new series on the Prophets. Series volumes are both critically engaged and sensitive to the theological contributions of the text. Series editors are Mark J. Boda, McMaster Divinity College, and J. Gordon McConville, University of Gloucestershire.
