Refused a guide by Congress, Lieutenant William Prescott must enlist Kate's aid to help him navigate the sprawling park and track down the troublemakers. But a secret from his past makes him wary of the tender feelings the capable and comely widow raises in him. As they work together to protect the park and stand firm through injustice and tragedy, they may just find that two wounded hearts can share one powerful love when God is in control.

Download or read book The Empire Strikes Out written by Robert Elias and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2010-01-19 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the face of American baseball throughout the world that of goodwill ambassador or ugly American? Has baseball crafted its own image or instead been at the mercy of broader forces shaping our society and the globe? The Empire Strikes Out gives us the sweeping story of how baseball and America are intertwined in the export of “the American way.” From the Civil War to George W. Bush and the Iraq War, we see baseball's role in developing the American empire, first at home and then beyond our shores. And from Albert Spalding and baseball's first World Tour to Bud Selig and the World Baseball Classic, we witness the globalization of America's national pastime and baseball's role in spreading the American dream. Besides describing baseball's frequent and often surprising connections to America's presence around the world, Elias assesses the effects of this relationship both on our foreign policies and on the sport itself and asks whether baseball can play a positive role or rather only reinforce America's dominance around the globe. Like Franklin Foer in How Soccer Explains the World, Elias is driven by compelling stories, unusual events, and unique individuals. His seamless integration of original research and compelling analysis makes this a baseball book that's about more than just sports.

Book excerpt: New York Times–Bestselling Authors: These CIA operatives are on a mission in the Sudan that’s classified—and illegal . . . In the blistering heat of the Sudan, the CIA has gone rogue. On the trail of a notorious terrorist, Agency operatives have overstepped their sanctioned boundaries. And now the ultimate weapon has fallen into the wrong hands. As Danny Freah and his spec-ops team scramble to recover a top-secret aircraft that has crashed in Africa, Whiplash Director Jonathon Reid finds himself mysteriously shut off from information about the robot drone and its mission. Maneuvering through the twisted back corridors of the CIA and Washington’s power elite, Reid discovers secrets both illegal and highly dangerous—a virtually unstoppable assassin and an out-of-control clique within the Agency. Torn between loyalty and conscience, Reid must find a way to alert the president and avert a national disaster. But with the Whiplash team caught in the chaos of a brutal African civil war and CIA officials desperate to keep Reid from telling what he knows, a monster re-emerges to target its creators . . .

Book excerpt: 白先勇，可以說是當代華文作家中，不論是在台灣、在中國、在東南亞、在其他各地的華人世界中，最負盛名、最受肯定的作家。他的文學活動、創作成就和作家地位，與台灣文學的關係，是一個值得探討的現象，也是本叢刊這一專輯譯介他的作品的主要原因和探討的主題。 這一專輯，由白先勇提供尚未翻譯成英文的小說，共五篇。其中收錄在《紐約客》中的有四篇：〈謫仙怨〉、〈骨灰〉、〈Danny Boy〉、〈Tea for Two〉。加上1971年作者與夏志清合譯的〈謫仙記〉，以及1980年作者與尹佩霞合譯的〈夜曲〉，《紐約客》一書中的六篇，以此完結。此外另有一篇近作，〈Silent Night〉，該是屬於《紐約客》系列，最初發表於《聯合報》「當代小說特區」（2015年12月24-25日）。 除了五篇小說之外，我們另外選譯了四篇散文，代表四個不同的題材，呈現在評論方面的不同面向：對《現代文學》當初創刊的回顧、五四以來中國小說缺乏藝術經營的問題、小說與電影的關係，以及一篇對新詩的評論—白先勇知道台灣詩壇壁壘分明，向來不涉及新詩的評論，這篇〈望帝春心的哀歌—讀杜國清的《心雲集》〉，也可以看出小說家與詩人對人生愛與哀的情感書寫，自有一份戚戚然的知音共鳴。 It could be said that Pai Hsien-yung is the most renowned and broadly recognized contemporary Chinese writer, whether in Taiwan, China, Southeast Asia, or any other region of the Chinese world. His literary activities, achievements, and status as an eminent writer within the context of Taiwan literature is a phenomenon worthy of study. Therefore, we dedicate an entire issue to exploring it.

Book excerpt: 這一專輯所選的作品主要凸顯台灣文學在全球動物文學研究的舞台上的地方認同。台灣的自然書寫涉及地理環境所具有的地方意義，以及與台灣獨特的文化歷史的記憶。尤其是吳明益的兩篇小說，〈國姓爺〉以及和台灣美濃地方有關的〈往靈魂的方向〉都是很好的例子。李喬的〈修羅祭〉，未能收入本叢刊第36 集「李喬專輯」（2015年7月），卻收入「台灣文學的動物書寫」這一專輯，更能顯示動物抒寫對生命的哲學思考。本期也收錄了杜國清教授所創作與動物主題有關之三首詩：內容涉及台灣對待動物的生態環境和動物保護意識的〈阿河，阿河〉、表現人與狗之間親近關係的〈我的憂傷〉，以及描寫「人狗神」生命流浪、輪迴不已的〈三界輪迴〉，而與李喬的〈修羅祭〉佛教超越現世的生命哲學觀互相呼應。 In the thirty years since the 1980s, a significant volume of creative work and research in Taiwan has been produced under the general category of nature writing. There have been conferences and proceedings, M.A. theses and Ph.D. dissertations, research articles, books, and anthologies. There are four representative and well-recognized writers in the field: Liu Ka-shiang, who has dedicated himself to birdwatching and nature writing; Liao Hung-chi, who is known for his writings on whale and ocean experiences; Wu Ming-yi, who has concentrated on butterflies and broken new ground in ecological writing; as well as Syaman Rapongan, who has devoted himself to reconstructing the ocean-centric culture of the indigenous Taos people. It is in view of all the above that this issue of the journal has been dedicated to “Animal Writing in Taiwan Literature.” Recalling that our publication has a mission to “introduce the voices of Taiwan literature from recent publications to English readers, and especially to introduce the views of Taiwanese writers and scholars regarding their own literature,” we have asked Professor Chia-ju Chang of Brooklyn College to be guest editor of this special issue. The works selected for translation here were recommended primarily by Professor Chang. She has chosen works that highlight the local characteristics of animal literature in Taiwan as distinct from international animal literature. These works refer to the geographical environment and to memory of the unique cultural history of Taiwan. The two stories by Wu Ming-yi, “Koxinga” and“The Compass of the Soul,” are excellent examples of this. Lee Chiao's“A Sacrifice to the Asuras” was originally intended for the special issue on the author (No. 36, July 2015), but it turned out to be very appropriate for this issue on animal writing in Taiwan as it ponders animal life from a philosophical perspective. Furthermore, three poems related to animal writing by Prof. Tu are collected in this issue. “A-he, A-he,” about a hippo, concerns attitudes toward animals as well as environmental consciousness and animal protection in Taiwan. “My Grief ” expresses the close relationship between a man and his dog. And the third poem, “Reincarnation of the Three Realms—After watching the movie God Man Dog,” considers the Buddhist concept of incarnation in the three realms of life, echoing Lee Chiao's Buddhist philosophy on life beyond this life.

Book excerpt: An unforgettable chronicle of a year of minor-league baseball in a small Iowa town that follows not only the travails of the players of the Clinton LumberKings but also the lives of their dedicated fans and of the town itself. Award-winning essayist Lucas Mann delivers a powerful debut in his telling of the story of the 2010 season of the Clinton LumberKings. Along the Mississippi River, in a Depression-era stadium, young prospects from all over the world compete for a chance to move up through the baseball ranks to the major leagues. Their coaches, some of whom have spent nearly half a century in the game, watch from the dugout. In the bleachers, local fans call out from the same seats they’ve occupied year after year. And in the distance, smoke rises from the largest remaining factory in a town that once had more millionaires per capita than any other in America. Mann turns his eye on the players, the coaches, the fans, the radio announcer, the town, and finally on himself, a young man raised on baseball, driven to know what still draws him to the stadium. His voice is as fresh and funny as it is poignant, illuminating both the small triumphs and the harsh realities of minor-league ball. Part sports story, part cultural exploration, part memoir, Class A is a moving and unique study of why we play, why we watch, and why we remember.
