Download or read book At Home in the World written by Michael Jackson and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback Ours is an era of uprootedness, with fewer and fewer people living out their lives where they are born. At such a time, in such a world, what does it mean to be "at home?" Perhaps among a nomadic people, for whom dwelling is not synonymous with being housed and settled, the search for an answer to this question might lead to a new way of thinking about home and homelessness, exile and belonging. First published by Duke University Press in 1995, At Home in the World is the story of just such a search, chronicling Jackson's experience among the Warlpiri of the Tanami Desert in Central Australia where he lived, worked, and traveled intermittently over three years. Blending narrative ethnography, empirical research, philosophy, and poetry, Jackson construes the meaning of home existentially, as a metaphor for the balance people try to strike between the world they call their own and the world they see as "other." Home is never a stable essence, therefore, but a constantly negotiated relationship between being closed and open, acting and being acted upon. At once a moving depiction of an aboriginal culture, and a meditation on the practice of anthropology, At Home in the World is a timely reflection on how, in defining home, we continue to define ourselves.
Download or read book Shark written by Will Self and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 683 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: May 4th, 1970. A week earlier President Nixon has ordered American ground forces into Cambodia to pursue the Vietcong. By the end of the day four students will be shot dead by the National Guards in the grounds of Kent State University. On the other side of the Atlantic, it's a brilliant sunny morning after an April of heavy rain, and at the "Concept House" therapeutic community he has set up in the London suburb of Willesden, maverick psychiatrist Dr Zack Busner has been tricked into joining a decidedly ill advised LSD trip with several of its disturbed residents. Five years later, sitting in a nearby cinema watching Steven Spielberg's Jaws, Busner realizes the true nature of the events that transpired on that dread-soaked day, when a survivor of the worst disaster in the US Navy's history - the sinking of the USS Indianapolis - came face-to-face with the British Royal Air Force observer on the Enola Gay's mission to bomb Hiroshima. Set a year before the action of his Booker-shortlisted Umbrella, Will Self's new novel Shark continues its exploration of the complex relationship between human psychopathology and human technological progress; and like Umbrella, weaves together multiple narratives across several decades of the twentieth century to produce a fiendish tapestry depicting the state we're trapped in.

Book excerpt: Whoever enters this tomb, and is not heir to the diamonds, will surely die. When the heir is revealed, they will be able to control the diamonds as they wish. The story of the Pharaoh Obeko and the wish-granting diamonds he left behind enraptured Cassandra Waters as a child. When her grandfather told her the tale, she bustled with excitement and questions, asking him if the heir ever emerged. “Not yet,” he replied, “but someday, they will.” Now a teenager, Cassy has other concerns than bedtime stories about pharaohs. The tragic death of her parents forces her and her brothers to move to Saskatoon and live under the guardianship of their estranged eldest brother Michael. Already struggling with mourning and getting along with Michael, Cassy also has to face bullying at her new school at the hands of Zackary Exacil, who, for some reason, can’t seem to leave Cassy alone. The story of the Egyptian Heir, however, is more relevant to Cassy’s life than she knew. Targeted by a murderous group of men who believe she is the heir and want the power of Obeko’s diamonds for themselves, Cassy finds herself on a life-threatening voyage that spans from the streets of Saskatoon to across the globe. Her only allies? Her once-tormentor Zack, and a mysterious organization called the FUA. The first entry in a trilogy, The Egyptian Heir combines gripping thrills and chilling villains with a tender romance and reflections on family, and will delight readers young adult and older.

Download or read book Unexpected Places written by Eric Gardner and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2010-06-17 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January of 1861, on the eve of both the Civil War and the rebirth of the African Methodist Episcopal Church's Christian Recorder, John Mifflin Brown wrote to the paper praising its editor Elisha Weaver: "It takes our Western boys to lead off. I am proud of your paper." Weaver's story, though, like many of the contributions of early black literature outside of the urban Northeast, has almost vanished. Unexpected Places: Relocating Nineteenth-Century African American Literature recovers the work of early African American authors and editors such as Weaver who have been left off maps drawn by historians and literary critics. Individual chapters restore to consideration black literary locations in antebellum St. Louis, antebellum Indiana, Reconstruction-era San Francisco, and several sites tied to the Philadelphia-based Recorder during and after the Civil War. In conversation with both archival sources and contemporary scholarship, Unexpected Places calls for a large-scale rethinking of the nineteenth-century African American literary landscape. In addition to revisiting such better-known writers as William Wells Brown, Maria Stewart, and Hannah Crafts, Unexpected Places offers the first critical considerations of important figures including William Jay Greenly, Jennie Carter, Polly Wash, and Lizzie Hart. The book's discussion of physical locations leads naturally to careful study of how region is tied to genre, authorship, publication circumstances, the black press, domestic and nascent black nationalist ideologies, and black mobility in the nineteenth century.

To complicate things even more, Kara has pledged herself to one of the most powerful of demons—Demon Lord Rhyzkahl—who helped save her partner's life, but now expects things in return. Meanwhile, she's trying to solve a string of murders that are somehow tied together by money, sex, rock music and...mud. But how can she concentrate on the case when she's not even sure who—or what—her partners are? Secrets of the Demon is the exciting third installment of the Kara Gillian series.
