Book excerpt: Caught in the crosshairs of gang violence, a teen girl and her mother set off on a perilous journey from Guatemala City to the US border in this “engrossing” (Kirkus Reviews) young adult novel from the author of Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From. For seventeen-year-old Maya, trashion is her passion, and her talent for making clothing out of unusual objects landed her a scholarship to Guatemala City’s most prestigious design school and a finalist spot in the school’s fashion show. Mamá is her biggest supporter, taking on extra jobs to pay for what the scholarship doesn’t cover, and she might be even more excited than Maya about what the fashion show could do for her future career. So when Mamá doesn’t come to the show, Maya doesn’t know what to think. But the truth is worse than she could have imagined. The gang threats in their neighborhood have walked in their front door—with a boy Maya considered a friend, or maybe even more, among them. After barely making their escape, Maya and her mom have no choice but to continue their desperate flight all the way through Guatemala and Mexico in hopes of crossing the US border. They have to cross. They must cross! Can they?

Download or read book The Chicken and the Quetzal written by Paul Kockelman and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Chicken and the Quetzal Paul Kockelman theorizes the creation, measurement, and capture of value by recounting the cultural history of a village in Guatemala's highland cloud forests and its relation to conservation movements and ecotourism. In 1990 a group of German ecologists founded an NGO to help preserve the habitat of the resplendent quetzal—the strikingly beautiful national bird of Guatemala—near the village of Chicacnab. The ecotourism project they established in Chicacnab was meant to provide new sources of income for its residents so they would abandon farming methods that destroyed quetzal habitat. The pressure on villagers to change their practices created new values and forced negotiations between indigenous worldviews and the conservationists' goals. Kockelman uses this story to offer a sweeping theoretical framework for understanding the entanglement of values as they are interpreted and travel across different and often incommensurate ontological worlds. His theorizations apply widely to studies of the production of value, the changing ways people make value portable, and value's relationship to ontology, affect, and selfhood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francesca Pyretti leads a secluded and extremely guarded life with her mathematics and her waitressing – it seems the female genius has a very volatile temper and an innate ability to burn things: doors; walls; people. Burn them badly. But, this afternoon, she will meet Realm Lord Belshazzar Chaldean, and the chemistry between the two of them is enough to change not only their lives but the fabric of Creation. Forever. For, although she does not know it yet, Francesca has a place of belonging in the Immortal Realms of Creation of which Lord Chaldean rules the Earth and Sky – specifically at His side as His Lady. But why would an all-powerful, immortal Lord be so taken by the scared yet dangerous Francesca? And why would she feel safe for the first time in her life in the arms of such an obviously predatoral and possessive Lord? Whatever the reasons, Lord Chaldean has Marked Francesca as His, and the Power of The Netherworlds will be the spoils in a battle between two Realm Lords that would possess she whom Belshazzar has claimed. But, it is a battle that will test the will not only of the Lords of each Realm, but the strengths of their Firsts as well as the bonds that create the fabric of each Realm. And it is a battle that – no matter the victor – can only result in An Imbalance of Power between all of the Realms and the remaining Lords that comprise Creation itself.

Download or read book Sailing to the Edge of Time written by John Kretschmer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Kretschmer is sailing's practical philosopher – as much a doer as a thinker. And that is the overarching theme of this chronicle of a sailing life. Often amusing, sometimes poignant, occasionally terrifying but always inspiring, his deeply personal account is a welcome reminder of the good life waiting at sea. With hundreds of thousands of nautical miles under his keel, John's adventures have taken him several times around the world, with challenging crossings of the Atlantic and the Pacific, a narrow escape from a coup in Yemen, an unlikely deliverance from a coral reef off Belize as well as more serene, introspective passages where trade winds are blowing and stories are flowing. His crew has included CEOs, actors, writers, teachers, kids – in essence, everyone. John's narrative is interwoven with practical tips and advice in seamanship, but also, and just as importantly, his hard-won insights about making the most of our lives. He truly believes we find out who we really are, and what we are capable of, far from the shackles of land, when we find a place where time changes shape – days may merge into one another, but minutes are memorable. To live adventurously is to live more fully, and that is the life John Kretschmer continues to live. In this book he shares his simple profundities that will inspire those who live to sail, and those seeking something more rewarding from life.
