Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With opinions and personal testimonies from the artists themselves, this book takes a detailed look at the huge impact that Mexican music and culture has had--and continues to have--on Country music in its various forms. This very American form of cultural expression has changed over the last few years, but Mexico--with its bordertowns, beaches, colonial architecture and ancient ruins conjuring up a range of powerful images--has remained an influential presence in Nashville, Texas, and even places like Australia and South Africa. Featuring contributions from Merle Haggard, Jimmy Buffett, Randy Travis, Dwight Yoakam, Jessi Colter, Johnny Rodriguez and Flaco Jimenez, this book reveals the unique and largely undocumented relationship between "America's Music" and Mexico.

Download or read book The Healing Heart Families written by Allison M. Cox and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2009-03-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories and narratives aimed at helping families work through an array of subjects like health, illness, grief, adoption, sexual identity, and school. The Healing Heart provides powerful examples of the use of stories and storytelling in encouraging resiliency, empathy, respect, and healing. These engaging books contain stories, and narratives about the use of the stories in activities with different populations (children, teens, those with disabilities, seniors, inmates, etc.) or which address specific social or community problems (addictions, poverty, violence, racism, environmental degradation, homelessness, abuse). The books are a collective effort containing the expertise of more than 60 storytellers and health professionals who illustrate the power of story in moving others to commitment and action, in building self-esteem and mutual respect. The Healing Heart ~ Families focuses on families, dealing specifically with healing through story, health promotion, disease prevention, early childhood intervention, children with medical problems, adopting families, schools, sexual identities, grief, and spiritual healing. The Healing Heart ~ Communities focuses on community-building, with sections on youth, violence prevention, poverty, domestic violence, substance abuse and addiction, racism, elders, culture, environmental protection, homelessness, and community development. Praise for The Healing Heart ~ Families “Both children and adults, sick or well, need the embrace of soulful storytelling. They need to witness and be witnessed, for it is in this state that healing occurs . . . . If newscasters were to read aloud each night to their listeners for 1,001 nights one of the stories from this treasury, we would all be healed and lose our fear, recapturing real security in our homeland.” —N. Michael Murphy, MD, author of The Wisdom of Dying “An extraordinary work . . . . Hit the bulls eye by providing both process and practice. Thought provoking and insightful theory is intertwined with appropriate stories for direct application. It makes clear that story can be a powerful catalyst for change, giving eloquent voice to what many of us have known for some time but have been unable to express. What a gift for those who work with families!” —Elizabeth Ellis, co-author of Inviting the Wolf In: Thinking about Difficult Stories

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leisha knows something’s wrong.

Leisha’s determined to find her, make sure she’s okay. Cody, a sensitive cellist, insists on helping her. Sparks fly, clues multiply, and romance blossoms, despite the disapproval of their families. Leisha’s desire to be with Cody and pursue music rather than medicine puts her on a direct collision course with her African-American grandfather, the only parent she’s ever had. But an even more immediate threat looms—because as Leisha draws closer to the truth about her teacher’s disappearance, she puts her own life in grave danger.

Download or read book Family Friends and Foes written by Debra D. Andrist and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jigsaw puzzles' notorious complexity and mega-multiple, amorphously-shaped pieces provide an appropriate metaphor for the navigating and maneuvering necessary throughout all aspects of human dynamics. Involvement comprises not only efforts by an individual personally trying to fit together a life of relationships with Family, Friends & Foes within complex categories and different levels, but the efforts by groups of individuals within those categories, progressively, by those groups within a larger society and/or societies, and then, across so many so-called boundaries: geographic, ethnic, linguistic, artistic and more. Such is the starting point for this particular collection of essays, which focuses on the human dynamics in cultures characterized, mostly linguistically, as Hispanic worlds, and those cultures both in real life and in terms of cultural productions such as movies, visual art and literature. Unlike jigsaw puzzles with their convenient guiding box-cover representation of the finished "product" once the pieces are correctly assembled, human dynamics' "pieces" are more like amoebas, ever changing size and shape, multiplying and dividing, sometimes fitting in with other pieces, sometimes not, sometimes overlappingin short, frequently unpredictable and always challenging for the would-be "assembler(s)." Thus, the title of this book could easily morph ad infinitum with the three elements of Family, Friends, Foes reflecting an enormous and unwieldy range of relationship, emotion and viewpoint. Mixed messages abound. And as can be seen from the individual chapter titles and content so-called successful relationships may be fleeting or unattainableor may match the imagined, hoped-for "picture" of a working relationship dynamic.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of the New York Times bestseller Choke and the cult classic Fight Club, a cunningly plotted novel about the ultimate verbal weapon, one that reinvents the apocalyptic thriller for our times. "A harrowing and hilarious glimpse into the future of civilization.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune Ever heard of a culling song? It’s a lullaby sung in Africa to give a painless death to the old or infirm. The lyrics of a culling song kill, whether spoken or even just thought. You can find one on page 27 of Poems and Rhymes from Around the World, an anthology that is sitting on the shelves of libraries across the country, waiting to be picked up by unsuspecting readers. Reporter Carl Streator discovers the song’s lethal nature while researching Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and before he knows it, he’s reciting the poem to anyone who bothers him. As the body count rises, Streator glimpses the potential catastrophe if someone truly malicious finds out about the song. The only answer is to find and destroy every copy of the book in the country. Accompanied by a shady real-estate agent, her Wiccan assistant, and the assistant’s truly annoying ecoterrorist boyfriend, Streator begins a desperate cross-country quest to put the culling song to rest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He saw Ta Paradas adobe in the distance, a small house, white-washed. He knew all adobes were deceptive: bigger inside than one would imagine seeing the exterior, even standing right in front. But first he went to see something else, something hed neglected the last time. He saw immediately it was a cemetery with all the ornamental charm even whimsy you might find in the heart of Mexico and, typical of such spots, he had trouble finding his graves. There was, of course, no symmetry to the stone markers. Some lay south and some lay east and some just athwart each other. The rows between the headstones were spastic zigzags, hardly parallel lines. Matt smiled inside, thinking with what mockery this burial ground might be greeted by the groundkeepers at the National Cemetery at Arlington, Virginia. Walking around for a while, along the angled pathways, he came upon them. The graves. There was a headstone for Ajax. A Cross and a Star of David had been cut into his stone. Maybe, for her husbands grave, Ta Parada had been memorializing the little church in Remedios that always fascinated tourists with its famous star underlaying a cross on its front wall. On a grave beside it there was only a carved angel. It read : Tres Concupisente Franklin. My God! She had named him Tres! Tres from her old stories of our family and our long ago relative. Matt couldnt hold back the tears. The lump in throat grew, and finally he put his head in his hands and sobbed. When he recovered and looked at the stone again he was puzzled to see fresh flowers on both graves; and pebbles atop both headstones. When he got the chance, if it seemed okay, he would have to ask Ta Parada about the flowers and pebbles. Or was Mr. Piedo simply doing his job as Ta Paradas representative, in life and in death? Did he come with the flowers every Monday, like today? Perhaps the flowers were from yesterday. The little pebbles could have been there for months. Matt wondered if this was the Redheads' way, decorating graves with flowers and pebbles? Like the quick burials and death shrouds in place of coffins? These werent old Mexican customs, but certainly the headstones in this cemetery were dominated by crosses and lovely stone statues of the Holy Mother. He suddenly recalled that in Montevideo he had seen pebbles on top of a gravestone. But he didnt know what it signified. He was starting to leave when he noticed that on the side of Ajax's stone there was lightly etched a seven-piece ceremonial candlestick holder. He looked on the side of Tres Concupisente's stone marker. Inscribed there were the wordssweet natured in Spanish. He went around the cemetery, studied the symbols on the other graves-- besides the crosses and holy images an occasional engraving of the opened Tablets of the Ten Commandments appeared. Dear Jesus and Mary! What are these symbols saying? Were these so-called Redheads descendants of conversos? Impossible! But maybe not. Hadnt his friend, Steve Steamer once said that conversos might have been in the expedition that settled Reino de Dios as well as Remedios! Matt moved toward the little house, trying to puzzle it out. He could picture the church in Remedios with its star and cross. Was it only old Mr. Steamers Steves great, great, great Grandfather -- doing or was there something encryptic there, something secretly acknowledged? Or was the knowledge all unconscious, an incomprehensible ancestral wailing of some centuries-old truth? He knocked on the door, lightly because of Ta Paradas famous hearing. The family had always marvelled at how acutely she could hear They said she heard better than a dog, perhaps as good as any creature that roams in the night. No answer. Again, louder. Still silence. The door opened when he turned the knob. The house felt warm as though it were presently being lived in. He suspected she was home, but had decided not to answer. She had never had a phone in this house, much to the fami
