Book excerpt: Though -- or perhaps because -- it spawned Starbucks, the Pacific Northwest remains fiercely loyal to its independent coffeehouses. Numbering in the thousands, these incredibly diverse establishments have become community centers and cultural institutions, each with its own personality. And at the heart of them all are the baristas, the men and women who pull the drinks, pick the art and music, and create the atmosphere that sets their coffeehouse apart from all the others. Here, baristas from around the Northwest describe life through their unique perspective, offering testimony, music recommendations, advice on coffee, overheard conversations, drawings and photos, latte art, nightmare stories, and just about everything else. Compiled by Dani Cone, a local barista superstar, and graphic designer (and former barista) Chris Munson, "Tall Skinny Bitter" celebrates not just the Northwest's best coffee shops, but the music, fashion, attitude, and art that embody its indie culture.

Download or read book Navajo Blessingway Singer written by Frank Mitchell and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This life history of a Navajo leader, recorded in the 1960s and first published in 1977, is a classic work in the study of Navajo history and religious traditions. "A skillful, meticulous, and altogether praiseworthy contribution to Navajo studies. . . . Although the focus of Mitchell's autobiography is upon his role as a Blessingway singer, there is much material here on Navajo history and culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Mitchell attended the government school at Fort Defiance, worked on the railroad in Arizona, served as a handyman and interpreter at several trading posts and the Franciscan missions, and later served as a tribal councilman in the 1930s and as a judge in the 1940s and 1950s. His observations on these experiences are relevant to our understanding of contemporary Navajo life."--Lawrence C. Kelly, Western Historical Quarterly "This book stands easily among the best of the 'native' autobiographies. Narrated by a thoughtful and articulate Navajo leader over a span of eighteen years, this life history is brought into English with none of the selective romanticizing that has spoiled some books. . . . (It is) a superb job of bringing one culture ever closer to another."--Barre Tolken, Western Folklore

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cup of Bitterness Cup of Joy spans about 65 years in the lives of two young girls who were sexually abused as young children. Elizabeth is a pastor's daughter who was molested on the one occasion that she was left with someone other than a family member. Mara is the child of a woman who sells herself to men and has no apparent concern for the welfare of her child. Mara is physically and sexually abused by this woman's husband. Mara is befriended by a teenager who comes briefly into the home to escape the juvenile justice system of New York City. He takes her to New York to get her away from, 'Old Rat.' Throughout her life there are people besides George who love Mara and seek to help her, but she is unable to wholly receive this love because she has so much pain and anger as a result of men raping and generally using her. In her fear and hatred of men and unwillingness to turn her life over to the Lord, she becomes a homosexual. Elizabeth also fears men and does not deal well with relationships, but because she has a loving supportive family and looks daily to the Lord for guidance her life flows mainly in tranquil paths. However, she does not have a real relationship with a man (not sex but give and take and trust) until she meets Bart Franklin, a pastoral student, who challenges her to be honest, to put the Lord first, and not to run away from situations. This the story of two girls whose lives are briefly intertwined in childhood and then years later are interwoven by God's grace and wonder once more. Their bitterness has turned to joy. .
