If you've ever wondered what it would be like to visit the bottom of the Grand Canyon, or sail to a far-flung Greek island, if you've pondered why it is that the landscapes of Monet look so fresh, or how it happens that a simple game of cards can seem so satisfyingly real, then here is your chance to find out.

Download or read book Dreamwalker written by David C. Dillon and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A little-known society of the Lakota tribe developed the skill to dream about the future. It was accepted that dreams could not necessarily bring about what a person wanted, but that they could be used to inform upon the future and protect people from harm. Despite the society's secrecy, however, a man named Conley is aware of it, thanks to his Lakota grandmother. At least, he is sure that if he dreams of something, it is bound to come true, one way or another. Upon receiving a letter from his Grandma Violet announcing a visit, Conley suspects she has something important to tell him maybe even something about their family history. Soon, he experiences a recurring dream about a Native American woman who looks like his grandma. Coaxed by this dream and his grandmother's visit, Conley realizes he must go to South Dakota and search for his spirit guide. Once there, Conley experiences a vision quest that allows him to better understand his skill. His dreams soon turn dark and dangerous, though, and he fears for those closest to him. Danger lingers nearby, and Conley must do all he can to prevent harm from spreading. He hopes to use his dreams to fight back, with the help of his spirit guide, but he must find the right clues otherwise, Conley could end up dead.

Download or read book Picturing America written by Stephen J. Hornsby and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instructive, amusing, colorful—pictorial maps have been used and admired since the first medieval cartographer put pen to paper depicting mountains and trees across countries, people and objects around margins, and sea monsters in oceans. More recent generations of pictorial map artists have continued that traditional mixture of whimsy and fact, combining cartographic elements with text and images and featuring bold and arresting designs, bright and cheerful colors, and lively detail. In the United States, the art form flourished from the 1920s through the 1970s, when thousands of innovative maps were mass-produced for use as advertisements and decorative objects—the golden age of American pictorial maps. Picturing America is the first book to showcase this vivid and popular genre of maps. Geographer Stephen J. Hornsby gathers together 158 delightful pictorial jewels, most drawn from the extensive collections of the Library of Congress. In his informative introduction, Hornsby outlines the development of the cartographic form, identifies several representative artists, describes the process of creating a pictorial map, and considers the significance of the form in the history of Western cartography. Organized into six thematic sections, Picturing America covers a vast swath of the pictorial map tradition during its golden age, ranging from “Maps to Amuse” to “Maps for War.” Hornsby has unearthed the most fascinating and visually striking maps the United States has to offer: Disney cartoon maps, college campus maps, kooky state tourism ads, World War II promotional posters, and many more. This remarkable, charming volume’s glorious full-color pictorial maps will be irresistible to any map lover or armchair traveler.

Download or read book Bull Head written by John Vigna and published by arsenal pulp press. This book was released on 2012-09-15 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A heartbreaking portrait of what it means to be a man in a world where violence trumps reason, and bad decisions begin with good intentions. With wit, tenderness, and intelligence, Bull Head exposes the raw underbelly of male experience."—Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story A line-dancing aficionado visits his brother in jail in hopes of mending their relationship, and instead discovers his own unwitting role in his brother's failed life. After the death of his wife and children, a logger tries to survive the Thanksgiving weekend on his own. A delinquent teen's life is changed forever by a work-camp placement with a violent older boy. A truck driver seeks sanctuary from his abusive wife in a fantasy world of strip clubs and personal ads. Bristling with restlessness and brutality, these linked stories set in the Pacific Northwest catapult readers into the gritty lives of social outcasts lost in purgatories of their own making. John Vigna tempers raw and at times cruel rural masculinity with graceful prose and breathtaking tenderness to illuminate the plight of men living in small towns and backwoods who belong neither to history nor the future. A startling homage to the great Southern Gothic tradition, Bull Head is a dazzling debut that heralds a powerful and exciting new literary voice. John Vigna is an alumnus of the Iowa Writers' Workshop. His fiction and non fiction have appeared in numerous newspapers and magazines. John lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, with his wife, writer Nancy Lee.
