Book excerpt: From Pulitzer Prize–winning author Larry McMurtry comes the first in a four-volume epic journey through the early American frontier, featuring the Berrybender family, English nobility adrift in the American West in the 1830s. It is 1830, and the Berrybender family—rich, aristocratic, English, and hopelessly out of place—is on its way up the Missouri River to see the untamed West as it begins to open up. Lord and Lady Berrybender have abandoned their home in England to broaden the horizons for themselves and their three children. With irascible determination—and a great deal of outright chaos—the party experiences both the awesome majesty and brutal savagery of the unexplored land, from buffalo stampedes and natural disasters to Indian raids and encounters with frontiersmen and trappers, explorers, pioneers, and one part-time preacher known as "the Sin Killer." Sin Killer, the strong, silent Westerner, captures the heart of the strong-willed, beautiful Berrybender daughter, Tasmin. But their fast developing relationship can only bring more trouble for the Berrybender's. Packed with breathtaking adventure, charming romance, and a sense of humor stretching clear over the horizon, Sin Killer is a truly unique view of the West that could only come from the boundless skill and imagination of Larry McMurtry.

Download or read book Nicaragua and the Politics of Utopia written by Daniel Chavez and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of modern Nicaragua is populated with leaders promising a new and better day. Inevitably, as Nicaragua and the Politics of Utopia demonstrates, reality casts a shadow and the community must look to the next leader. As an impoverished state, second only to Haiti in the Americas, Nicaragua has been the scene of cyclical attempts and failures at modern development. Author Daniel Chavez investigates the cultural and ideological bases of what he identifies as the three decisive movements of social reinvention in Nicaragua: the regimes of the Somoza family of much of the early to mid-twentieth century; the governments of the Sandinista party; and the present day struggle to adapt to the global market economy. For each era, Chavez reveals the ways Nicaraguan popular culture adapted and interpreted the new political order, shaping, critiquing, or amplifying the regime's message of stability and prosperity for the people. These tactics of interpretation, otherwise known as meaning-making, became all-important for the Nicaraguan people, as they opposed the autocracy of Somocismo, or complemented the Sandinistas, or struggled to find their place in the Neoliberal era. In every case, Chavez shows the reflective nature of cultural production and its pursuit of utopian idealism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After losing most of her hearing at age six from spinal meningitis, Cheryl Heppner did not allow the experience to slow her energy or exceptional abilities. Cheryl pursued life as "normally" as possible. Then, at age 25, disaster hit in the form of two nearly lethal strokes. Cheryl survived, only to realize that she had become profoundly deaf -- the residual hearing upon which she had depended to speechread was gone. Displaying characteristic nerve, she mounted a campaign to learn sign language. Her efforts rewarded her not only with a new way to communicate, but also with a home in an entirely new world and culture, and the desire to recreate her relationships, especially with her family. "Seeds of Disquiet" presents a remarkable narrative by an extraordinarily capable person on a life journey of discovery. Cheryl Heppner's insights on communication, language, and their intrinsic roles in defining vital relationships make this very personal story a revealing, essential experience for all who read it. -- From publisher's description.
