Book excerpt: 2018 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards Finalist in Nature The 2.1 million acres (equivalent to Yellowstone National Park) of the wilderness study area are coming under increasing threat by resource development Essays of personal explorations of the region by an award-winning writer are accompanied by dramatic images from an award-winning photographer The wilderness study area is home to the largest concentration of tidewater glaciers in America and hosts a vast diversity of terrestrial and aquatic mammals, birds, and fish It's been said that "a picture is worth a thousand words," and nowhere is that more true than on the pages ofA Wild Promise: Prince William Sound. The images of photographer Hugh Rose show you what this region holds--and what will be lost without protection from future resource development. Alongside Hugh's images are eloquent essays covering the natural and cultural history, people, and fragility of this region by noted Alaskan writer Debbie Miller. Alaska's famed Prince William Sound includes more than 3,000 shore land miles of bays, coves, and deep fjords topped by the ice-capped peaks of the Chugach Mountains. More than 1 million tourists visit the region annually, and small family-owned fishing boats, ecotourism, oyster farms, and guide services provide sustainable livelihoods for year-round Alaskan residents. Many Americans first came to know of Prince William Sound through the Exxon Valdez oil spill of 1989--a catastrophe with lingering long-term effects, such the collapse of the once abundant herring population, a critical fish in the marine food chain. InA Wild Promise, readers travel alongside Hugh and Debbie as they hike and kayak from Columbia Glacier to College Fiord, exploring the Nellie Juan-College Fjord Wilderness Study Area, a region set aside for study in 1980, to be followed--it was hoped--by permanent protection from Congress. After almost four decades of being in limbo as a designated wilderness study area, the fate of this spectacular, wild place is now in our hands. Its protection is a gift we can offer generations to come--a promiseof wilderness, beauty, and natural diversity that we can, indeed, keep.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The brilliant coming-of-age-and-into-superstardom story of one of the greatest artists of all time, in his own words—featuring never-before-seen photos, original scrapbooks and lyric sheets, and the exquisite memoir he began writing before his tragic death NAMED ONE OF THE BEST MUSIC BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AND ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST AND THE GUARDIAN • NOMINATED FOR THE NAACP IMAGE AWARD Prince was a musical genius, one of the most beloved, accomplished, and acclaimed musicians of our time. He was a startlingly original visionary with an imagination deep enough to whip up whole worlds, from the sexy, gritty funk paradise of “Uptown” to the mythical landscape of Purple Rain to the psychedelia of “Paisley Park.” But his most ambitious creative act was turning Prince Rogers Nelson, born in Minnesota, into Prince, one of the greatest pop stars of any era. The Beautiful Ones is the story of how Prince became Prince—a first-person account of a kid absorbing the world around him and then creating a persona, an artistic vision, and a life, before the hits and fame that would come to define him. The book is told in four parts. The first is the memoir Prince was writing before his tragic death, pages that bring us into his childhood world through his own lyrical prose. The second part takes us through Prince’s early years as a musician, before his first album was released, via an evocative scrapbook of writing and photos. The third section shows us Prince’s evolution through candid images that go up to the cusp of his greatest achievement, which we see in the book’s fourth section: his original handwritten treatment for Purple Rain—the final stage in Prince’s self-creation, where he retells the autobiography of the first three parts as a heroic journey. The book is framed by editor Dan Piepenbring’s riveting and moving introduction about his profound collaboration with Prince in his final months—a time when Prince was thinking deeply about how to reveal more of himself and his ideas to the world, while retaining the mystery and mystique he’d so carefully cultivated—and annotations that provide context to the book’s images. This work is not just a tribute to an icon, but an original and energizing literary work in its own right, full of Prince’s ideas and vision, his voice and image—his undying gift to the world.

Download or read book The Wild Prince written by Edwina Darke and published by Writtenhouse Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this modern Parisian fairytale, a Beastly Prince is out to conquer a defiant Beauty. But the only way for him to win is unconditional surrender. Mary Chase can handle anything. Working as a manager/fixer/circus ringmaster for Rising Starr Talent Agency's most difficult clients has given her an extensive education in problem solving. Stolen tour bus? Activate the LoJack. Overly intrusive paparazzi? Set the superfans on them. Find a lynx roaming a hotel room? Call animal control and down a shot of tequila. But when Mary's next client turns out to be her boss's godson, the Wild Prince, her hard earned skills are pushed to the limit. Dominic Prince knows what the world thinks of him-that he's wild, that he's reckless, that he's got a uncontrollable temper. He also knows better than to care. But when coming to his future sister-in-law's defense lands him in trouble with both the press and the police, suddenly everyone expects him to change. Dominic is prepared to put up with the babysitter his family have saddled him with. But if they think she's going to tame him, they have another thing coming. Sparks fly when the woman who can handle any problem meets the man who refuses to be solved and their chemistry surprises both of them. Mary finds in Dominic a man capable of climbing her walls. And Dominic has finally met a woman who can beat him at his own game. But as their relationship deepens, their time together begins to run out. Will Dominic be able to convince Mary they're meant to be more than temporary? Or will she be gone before the last mid-winter rose petal falls? Author's Note: Enemies-to-lovers has always be one of my favorite romance tropes. So I was looking forward to tackling it within the Prince family. Plus adding in all my favorite Beauty and the Beast elements: a Parisian house covered with roses, a gorgeous gold dress, a couple of quirky caretakers, and best of all, a seriously rocking library. When I planned this series, Dominic was supposed to wait his turn until book five or six. But the pushy Prince shoved his way to the front of the line. His and Mary's story just ran away with me. I hope they run away with you too.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this modern New York fairytale, a Quiet Prince sets out to save his long-lost love from the schemes of an evil ex. But it will take more than true love's way overdue kiss to break this social media curse. Stella Knight is a talented programmer, a brilliant video game designer, and has a lifelong habit of telling powerful people where they can stick it. This time, it's her lying, duplicitous, code-stealing boyfriend, Mal... who also happens to be her boss. Now she's out of a job, a home, and any chance of future employment as rumors that she's the thief spread through the gaming community. When her old friend Ashton Prince makes her an offer, Stella is desperate enough to take a job from the first love she never got over. Ashton Prince is the steady brother in the Prince family. He runs a cybersecurity company, never takes unnecessary risks, and, according to his brothers, is boringly predictable. He's also spent the last fifteen years quietly, deeply, and hopelessly in love with his best friend from high school. When he discovers she needs help, sees a way to fill a void in his company, and have her back in her life-it's a temptation he doesn't want to resist. But working together comes with its own set of challenges. Stella is determined to prove her critics wrong, and Ash knows her situation is too precarious to tell her how he truly feels. But the more time they spend together, the hotter the torches they're both carrying burn. To rise above the thorny limits set by their shared past, Ash and Stella must face what they really mean to each other. Will their love set them free or will it burn everything they've both built to the ground?

Book excerpt: MAYBE SHE COULD KEEP HIM AFTER SCHOOL? Professional consultant Amanda Hutton was used to teaching royal children how to cope with the intricacies of palace life—so she understandably balked when the king proposed she take on his son as her next client. Why, the dashing—and fully grown, to say the least—Prince Stefano diTalora was considered the biggest catch this side of the Mediterranean! What could she possibly have to teach him? Plenty, as it turned out. For though His Highness knew that almost any young lady could be his for the asking, he was also aware that with love could come pain—and he was not about to chance it. Until he met Amanda—and realized that, perhaps, the greater the risk, the sweeter the reward….
