Book excerpt: The saga of the McGuire family continues. At the dawn of the 20th century disputes are no longer settled with a gun. They are handled in boardrooms with backroom deals. Under the close direction of the city’s oligarchy William Mulholland builds his aqueduct which will allow Los Angeles to expand to unprecedented size. The San Francisco earthquake sends a whorehouse piano player, a newspaper reporter and a thief to Los Angeles. Each attempt to rebuild their life which was forever changed on the morning of April 18, 1906. Renegade filmmakers from New York flee to Hollywood to make their movies. With the promise of stardom, the moguls run their studios with cutthroat efficiency, controlling the lives of all who work for them. Michael McGuire takes over the family enterprise. With the McGuire fortunes on the wane and prohibition looming on the horizon, Michael forges a partnership with Canadian and Mexican mobsters to import alcohol and cocaine to Los Angeles. Any who stand in his way are fair game. California is the place where dreams come true for some and for others a dead end. This is a tale of those who dared to dream.

Download or read book The Bear and His Sons written by James M. Taggart and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the world over, people tell stories to express their deepest feelings about such things as what makes a "real" man or woman; what true love, courage, or any other virtue is; what the proper relationships are between people. Often groups of people widely separated by space or time will tell the same basic story, but with differences in the details that reveal much about a particular group's worldview. This book looks at differences in the telling of several common Hispanic folktales. James Taggart contrasts how two men—a Spaniard and an Aztec-speaking Mexican—tell such tales as "The Bear's Son." He explores how their stories present different ways of being a man in their respective cultures. Taggart's analysis contributes to a revision of Freud's theory of gender, which was heavily grounded in biological determinism. Taggart focuses instead on how fathers reproduce different forms of masculinity in their sons. In particular, he shows how fathers who care for their infant sons teach them a relational masculinity based on a connected view of human relationships. Thus, The Bear and His Sons will be important reading not only in anthropology and folklore, but also in the growing field of men's studies.

Download or read book The Green Bear Stories written by Joe Knotts and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Author Joe Knotts has lived in Oregon most of his life. He loves hiking, camping, backpacking, swimming and boating with friends. On a number of occasions he has had the privilege of observing black bear cubs, mother bear, and even a solitary father bear. He has camped in areas where enterprising black bear have managed to access food supplies hung high on ropes between two trees and watched as other bear have successfully opened coolers with ease. Joe's grandfather - known as "Uncle Joe" - originally made up the Green Bear Stories telling them to his camping buddies and grandchildren as stories with moral truths. "Uncle Joe" made every effort to involve his listeners in the stories by asking questions along the way. He would then weave their answers into his stories. Joe has taken those original stories, added a bit of real bear fact, tossed them about, told them, re-told them, and truthfully enjoyed mixing fact with fantasy. Joe and his daughter, Tessa, who at the age of seven drew a number of pencil illustrations for the first edition, still live in Oregon. About the Book A " Read With Your Child Book" A young black bear cub grows rapidly into an adult without realizing it. The changes happen so fast he hardly has time to process the decisions he makes along the way or the forces shaping his life. Life moves quickly from being taught by Mother Bear how to survive, to doing the tasks to please his mother, to adventuring off to prove himself. Finally, he is officially "kicked out" of his family when he tries to go back. What are the choices along the way? What is home? What is family? Sometimes what appears to be bad is good and what appears to be good is bad. Who is to sort that out? Told in easy to read, fast action episodes, some hilarious, some educational, some pure fantasy, would the reader make similar or different choices than Green Bear? Great stories to read to your child to help stimulate conversation between you. About the Illustrator Native Oregonian Jessie Street is a mixed media artist.

Book excerpt: The Slocum family of Northeastern Pennsylvania are the best of the white settlers, peace-loving Quakers who believe that the Indians hold the Light of God inside. It is from this good-hearted family that Frances is abducted during the Revolutionary war. As the child's terror subsides, she is slowly drawn into the sacred work and beliefs of her adoptive mother and of all the women of these Eastern tribes. Frances becomes Maconakwa, the Little Bear Woman of the Miami Indians. Then, long after the Indians are beaten and their last hope, Tecumseh, is killed, the Slocums hear word of their long-lost daughter and head out to Indiana to meet their beloved Frances. But for Maconakwa, it is a moment of truth, the test of whether her heart is truly a red one.
