Download or read book Far Out written by Mark Liechty and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far Out charts the history of Western countercultural longing for Nepal that made the country, and Kathmandu in particular, a premier tourist destination in the twentieth century. Anthropologist and historian Mark Liechty describes three distinct phases: the immediate post-war era when the country provided a Raj-like throwback experience for rich foreigners (mainly Americans), Nepal s emergence as the most exotic outpost of hippie counterculture in the 1960s and early 70s, and, finally, the Nepali state s rebranding of itself as an adventure destination from the 1970s on. Liechty is attuned to how the dynamics of mid-twentieth century globalizationthe Cold War and shifting international relations, modernization and development ideologies, the rise of consumerist middle classes, increased mobility and the birth of mass tourism, and emerging global youth counterculturesdrew Nepal into the web of geopolitical, economic, and sociocultural transformations that shaped the modern world. But Liechty doesn t want to tell the story of tourism as something that just happened to Nepalis. He shows how Western projections of Nepal as an isolated place inspired creative Nepali enterprises and paradoxically gave locals the opportunity to participate in the highly coveted global economy. The result is a readable cultural history of a place that has been in many ways defined by a (sometimes bizarre) cultural encounter. The author s lifelong interest in Nepal and his almost twenty-five years of research make his account both sophisticated and empathicbut not without a touch of humor."

Download or read book The Alpha Yeti written by SUM and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-05-10 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every tribal land has its own tribulations and the Kasis were way beyond any hope or help, for what they were undergoing was terrifyingly unspeakable. It wasnt any myth or taboo. This one was true. The One God was as real as the White Giants. But, all the suffering and trepidation came from the impossibly aggressive Grey Giants. They were a deformity: a fallen imprecation on the Kasis. Somehow, a sensible Bhirendi, the elderly last of the Kasis, addresses the tragedy and rushes his people into the underground chambers of Ravaial before they are forced to face the wrath of the monstrosities that lately have begun to roll down from the White Mountain. With the situation only getting worse by the moment, the tribes hire a pack of ace hunters from the West. But, one of them freaks out and abducts the daughter of an estranged but once-upon-a-time famous hunter to only earn his ire. The hunters are drawn together into a strangely unwelcome land of doom with their fates sealed under the White Mountain. They soon realise that time is all they have left in the entire world when the Grey Giants begin their vicious play. SUM brings to you, The Alpha Yeti!

Even worse, said planet has alien cavemen intent on carrying them off to their lairs to… do whatever it is alien cavemen DO to their captives. Yeah, that doesn’t take a genius to figure out. When the women she’s trying to protect manage to get themselves captured, it’s up to Maeve to track them through an alien forest, with unknown dangers, and rescue them.

Then there’s the Northern Continent… where all hope goes to die. When a ship crash lands there with precious females aboard, Raalt, the leader of the Izaea, must race against time to save them. Because the Northern Continent hides the Izaeans’ best-kept secret… But he has no choice. Once he heard her voice on the mayday call, he’ll move heaven and earth to find her.
