Download or read book Trails from a World Beyond written by Benno Glauser and published by epubli. This book was released on 2023-05-13 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ayoreo indigenous peoples have inhabited the Gran Chaco forests since time immemorial, until the forces of modernity, led by settlers, farmers and missionaries began to tear open their world and to pull them from it, like trees severed from their roots. Today, several small groups remain hidden, invisible to our eyes and avoiding any contact. TRAILS FROM A WORLD BEYOND tells the story of how author and activist Benno Glauser in the early 90's became aware of the presence of these groups and began to look for ways to support their resistance. TRAILS FROM A WORLD BEYOND is the story of a people's right not to be found, of their quest to recover what was lost in their forced finding, of their longing to return to themselves. It is the story of author, Benno's Glauser's, explorations and discoveries as he sets a path in defence of a people who know neither him nor the world he inhabits. It is the story of the meaning that their quest echoes in his own, and that of all of us. It is also the story of colonisation: of the compulsion to uphold one world that subsumes and destroys all others - and of the urgent need to restore a diversity of worlds, our own among them. TRAILS FROM A WORLD BEYOND invites you to let yourself be led along the tracks of the invisibles, into their world, where they, hunt, gather, and survive; to be, as they are, watchful and alert. Perhaps you will hunt and gather something you need for yourself, in your own life, in your world. You may recognize as your own a piece of soil, or a tree; glimpse in the shimmer of a memory a lost food, an abandoned place, your own forgotten community, or a way of being– and in their trails find hints of a future that may become possible again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It began for Ariel and Barry Engel on a bright, sunny summer day in May. Leaving out for an extended journey from their now empty home in Houston, Texas, they take with them their hopes to save a struggling marriage, as well as an obsession to search out and find their identities in this world and what their future holds. They have no idea that another search is simultaneously taking place, a search that will become relentless in its quest to obliterate their very presence on this earth. A dark entity, the evil force behind the driving pursuit to kill the Engels, has been preparing for this moment for millenniums, for it knows that in the near future, Ariel Engel will conceive and give birth to a child that will grow to become a great leader. This leader shall bring peace to all nations--a peace this malevolent creature knows shall annihilate its very existence. Empowered by supernatural abilities, Billy Baxter, the faithful and loyal servant to this dark beast, has no qualms about completing this final heinous act. It is his job and he has always done his job well. Fate brings to the Engels the realization that their "vacation" has turned into the "trip from Hell," and as they struggle for their very lives, they unite under a common bond of survival and discover the stamina and fortitude it takes to endure in the face of such an incarnate evil.

Download or read book On the Trail of the Jackalope written by Michael P. Branch and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The never-before-told story of the horned rabbit—the myths, the hoaxes, and the entirely real scientific breakthroughs it has inspired—and how it became a cultural touchstone of the American West. Just what is a jackalope? Purported to be part jackrabbit and part antelope, the jackalope began as a local joke concocted by two young brothers in a small Wyoming town during the Great Depression. Their creation quickly spread around the U.S., where it now regularly appears as innumerable forms of kitsch—wall mounts, postcards, keychains, coffee mugs, shot glasses, and so on. A vast body of folk narratives has carried the jackalope’s fame around the world to inspire art, music, film, even erotica! Although the jackalope is an invention of the imagination, it is nevertheless connected to actual horned rabbits, which exist in nature and have for centuries been collected and studied by naturalists. Around the time the two young boys were creating the first jackalope in Wyoming, Dr. Richard Shope was making his first breakthrough about the cause of the horns: a virus. When the virus that causes rabbits to grow “horns” (a keratinous carcinoma) was first genetically sequenced in 1984, oncologists were able to use that genetic information to make remarkable, field-changing advances in the development of anti-viral cancer therapies. The most important of these is the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, which protects against cervical and other cancers. Today, jackalopes are literally helping us cure cancer. For fans of David Quammen’s The Song of the Dodo, Jon Mooallem’s Wild Ones, or Jeff Meldrum's Sasquatch, Michael P. Branch's remarkable On the Trail of the Jackalope is an entertaining and enlightening road trip through the heart of America.
