Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book 8 in the Black Mesa Wolves series by USA Today bestselling author J.K. Harper Luke Rawlins trusts no one. Everyone he's ever known has betrayed him in the cruelest ways possible, leaving his mind cold and ruthless, and his shattered heart dark and empty. His home pack was filled with madness and deception, of the sort that could make a wolf doubt his own sanity. When he finally escaped, he chose instead life as a rogue: always hunted, always watching his back. Then the Black Mesa Wolf Pack took him in, and within their ranks he found a semblance of normal life. The opportunity to be alpha of his own pack is an unexpected gift, one he won't lose. He has a chance for a real life again. Until the sexy she-wolf who shattered his heart and broke his soul suddenly reappears in his life. Tala Mingan never wanted to be broken, scarred, or merciless, but her upbringing made sure of that. She's the product of a damaged pack, and she'll never be able to heal completely. The one time she dared to love, all she ended up doing was hurting the mate of her heart so badly she knows he will never forgive her. When he abruptly fled their pack months ago for a better life, she couldn't blame him for leaving her too. Even so, her heart has bled every day for Luke and the fearless joy they tried to build together. Trapped by the pack that will never let her go, she's resigned to living a short, brutal life instead. Then she's offered a terrible choice. The kind where she's damned if she does, and damned if she doesn't. The sort of choice that leaves Tala truly desperate and willing to do whatever it takes to save the only man she's ever wanted—even if the cost is her life.

Download or read book Unreal City written by Judith Nies and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An epic struggle over land, water, and power is erupting in the American West and the halls of Washington, DC. It began when a 4,000-square-mile area of Arizona desert called Black Mesa was divided between the Hopi and Navajo tribes. To the outside world, it was a land struggle between two fractious Indian tribes; to political insiders and energy corporations, it was a divide-and-conquer play for the 21 billion tons of coal beneath Black Mesa. Today, that coal powers cheap electricity for Los Angeles, a new water aqueduct into Phoenix, and the neon dazzle of Las Vegas. Journalist and historian Judith Nies has been tracking this story for nearly four decades. She follows the money and tells us the true story of wealth and water, mendacity, and corruption at the highest levels of business and government. Amid the backdrop of the breathtaking desert landscape, Unreal City shows five cultures colliding—Hopi, Navajo, global energy corporations, Mormons, and US government agencies—resulting in a battle over resources and the future of the West. Las Vegas may attract 39 million visitors a year, but the tourists mesmerized by the dancing water fountains at the Bellagio don’t ask where the water comes from. They don’t see a city with the nation’s highest rates of foreclosure, unemployment, and suicide. They don’t see the astonishing drop in the water level of Lake Mead—where Sin City gets 90 percent of its water supply. Nies shows how the struggle over Black Mesa lands is an example of a global phenomenon in which giant transnational corporations have the power to separate indigenous people from their energy-rich lands with the help of host governments. Unreal City explores how and why resources have been taken from native lands, what it means in an era of climate change, and why, in this city divorced from nature, the only thing more powerful than money is water.

Download or read book The Battle of the Washita written by Stan Hoig and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1979-01-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer was victorious in only one engagement against the American Indians—the Battle of the Washita. Eight years before the Little Bighorn, Custer marched his men through heavy snows to attack a village of Cheyenne Indians under Chief Black Kettle, the most peaceful of the Cheyenne leaders. The Indians did not consider themselves to be at war and were taken by surprise by the dawn attack. Over one hundred men, women, and children were killed and eight hundred horses shot. Was the massacre justified? History has tended to take Custer's word for it, but the facts behind the event may speak differently. It must be left to the conscience of the reader to decide which is commemorated by the marker erected on the site of the battle: a great victory for Custer or a tragedy for the Cheyennes. “With much evidence of exhaustive research, this volume is an unusually well-written and engrossing account. It makes every effort to maintain historical objectivity, and in cases where the matter is controversial [the author] is careful to quote the opinions of both principals and authorities. This detailed narrative is particularly revealing with regard to the competence and frailties of army officers, including General Custer.”—Library Journal Stan Hoig lives in Edmund, Oklahoma. Among his books are The Humor of the American Cowboy (also a Bison Book), The Sand Creek Massacre, The Peace Chiefs of the Cheyennes, and Tribal Wars of the Southern Plains.

She's created a wonderful world and characters that captured my attention from the first chapter. This is my favorite in the series so far." -Night Owl Reviews, 4.5 Top Pick Caleb Bardou has a quick answer for anything that comes at him: his fists. Barreling through life, damn the consequences, has always worked for him. With dangerous rogue wolves threatening his Pack, he must be a ruthless hunter. But when a delicate little she-wolf gets in his steamroller way, he has to find a different strategy to win the unexpected battle for her body and her heart. Each time civilized Rielle Amoux thinks about caveman Caleb, she gets all tingly inside. Yet she refuses to be flustered by a hot-headed, chest-thumping, he-man of a wolf. Except Caleb is sexier than sin, and he arouses her on a primal level--the part of her she's always denied from fear she won't be able to control it. But if she doesn't free her wild side soon, she risks losing her wolf forever.... Between vicious rogues and sweetly seductive Rielle, Caleb has his hands full. Just when he thinks he has everything under control, his trigger temper erupts again. This time, the fallout could be disastrous for his Pack--as well as for any chance he has with the sexy little wolf who might be his destiny.

Download or read book Hippies Indians and the Fight for Red Power written by Sherry L. Smith and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-03 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through much of the 20th century, federal policy toward Indians sought to extinguish all remnants of native life and culture. That policy was dramatically confronted in the late 1960s when a loose coalition of hippies, civil rights advocates, Black Panthers, unions, Mexican-Americans, Quakers and other Christians, celebrities, and others joined with Red Power activists to fight for Indian rights. In Hippies, Indians and the Fight for Red Power, Sherry Smith offers the first full account of this remarkable story. Hippies were among the first non-Indians of the post-World War II generation to seek contact with Native Americans. The counterculture saw Indians as genuine holdouts against conformity, inherently spiritual, ecological, tribal, communal-the original "long hairs." Searching for authenticity while trying to achieve social and political justice for minorities, progressives of various stripes and colors were soon drawn to the Indian cause. Black Panthers took part in Pacific Northwest fish-ins. Corky Gonzales' Mexican American Crusade for Justice provided supplies and support for the Wounded Knee occupation. Actor Marlon Brando and comedian Dick Gregory spoke about the problems Native Americans faced. For their part, Indians understood they could not achieve political change without help. Non-Indians had to be educated and enlisted. Smith shows how Indians found, among this hodge-podge of dissatisfied Americans, willing recruits to their campaign for recognition of treaty rights; realization of tribal power, sovereignty, and self-determination; and protection of reservations as cultural homelands. The coalition was ephemeral but significant, leading to political reforms that strengthened Indian sovereignty. Thoroughly researched and vividly written, this book not only illuminates this transformative historical moment but contributes greatly to our understanding of social movements.

Download or read book Shadows on a Mirror written by Edward A. Molnar and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suppose you had scientific evidence that a soul—meant by God to be eternal—existed in man. Suppose you—and only you—knew that man had created a form of radiation that not only killed, but destroyed the soul as well. Concerned about mass disillusionment and hysteria, who could you tell? What would you do? Now suppose an Army officer, bent on making general and also fully knowledgeable about the radiation, intends to use it as a weapon. Aided by CIA-like operatives, he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. When he finds out you share his secret, what can you do? Thought provoking and controversial, Shadows is a metaphysical thriller. For protagonist Alex Feher it’s a dangerous, paradox-defying journey from the mysterious Black Mesa and the intrigue of Los Alamos, New Mexico, to Washington, D. C. and finally to the doors of the Pentagon. Shadows provides a theoretical but plausible model for the soul, offering rational explanations for phenomena such as ESP, out of body experiences, love at first sight, déjà vu sensations, and even reincarnation. An American Indian version of the soul, based on myth but consistent with the model, helps weave the fabric of the story.
