Download or read book An Insect View of Its Plain written by Rosemary Scanlon McTier and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-01-30 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the nineteenth century, insects became a very fashionable subject of study, and the writing of the day reflected this popularity. However, despite an increased contemporary interest in ecocriticism and cultural entomology, scholars have largely ignored the presence of insects in nineteenth-century literature. This volume addresses that critical gap by exploring the cultural and literary position of insects in the work of Henry David Thoreau, Emily Dickinson, and John Muir. It examines the beliefs these authors share about the nature of our connection to insects and what insects have to teach about creation and our place in it. An important contribution to both ecocriticism and literary entomology, this work contributes much to the understanding of Thoreau, Dickinson, and Muir as nature writers, natural scientists, entomologists, and botanists, and their intimate and highly spiritual relationships with nature.

Download or read book Seeing the Beat Generation written by Raj Chandarlapaty and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beat generation writers dismantled mainstream America. They wrote under the influence of psychedelic drugs; they crossed and navigated multicultural boundaries and questioned the American dream; and they explored homosexuality, feminism and hyper-masculinity, redefining America's marital and familial codes. Teaching such a history can be daunting, but film adaptations of Beat literature have proven to engage students. This book looks closely at the film adaptations of works by such authors as Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, Gary Snyder, Carolyn Cassady, Amiri Baraka and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, as they relate to American history and literary studies.

Download or read book Don t Tell written by Morgan Nash and published by Morgan Nash. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't Tell weaves the gripping tale of Jonathan Carter, a young soldier grappling with his sexuality amidst the harsh realities of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy and the unforgiving operational tempo of the 75th Ranger Battalion at the beginning of the War on Terror. At 21, Jonathan carries not just the weight of his uniform but also the burden of a secret that could alter his world-hidden love for Nelson, a fellow soldier who embodies the freedom and acceptance Jonathan yearns for. When Lieutenant Hesse, a 27-year-old West Point graduate, is assigned to Jonathan's platoon, their lives intertwine in unforeseen ways. Hesse's leadership style pushes Jonathan to confront his fears and responsibilities, both on the battlefield and in the depths of his own heart, leading to a bond that neither of them could have predicted. Set against the backdrop of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, Don't Tell is a poignant exploration of love, duty, and the courage it takes to be true to oneself. Jonathan's journey is a battle on multiple fronts against a visible enemy, and the invisible wars waged within. As he grapples with the complexities of brotherhood, loyalty, and the yearning for acceptance, Jonathan realizes that the toughest battles are fought in the silence of one's own soul. With Nelson's friendship and Hesse's unexpected camaraderie, Jonathan faces the ultimate test of valor-embracing his true self amidst the chaos of war. Don't Tell is a story of sacrifice, the power of love, and the quest for truth in a world that demands conformity. It's a testament to the bravery required to fight on the front lines and battle the inner conflicts that define us.

He enlists and trains a troop of elite warriors, Guardians aided by spirit allies, to hunt down and destroy the monster.

Download or read book Indigeneity and Decolonial Resistance written by George J. Sefa Dei and published by Myers Education Press. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2019 SPE Outstanding Book Award Honorable Mention To be able to promote effective anti-colonial and decolonial education, it is imperative that educators employ indigenous epistemologies that seek to threaten, replace and reimagine colonial thinking and practice. Indigeneity and Decolonial Resistance hopes to contribute to the search for a more radical decolonial education and practice that allows for the coexistence of, and conversation among, “multiple-epistemes.” The book approaches the topics from three perspectives: • the thought that our epistemological frameworks must consider the body of the knowledge producer, place, history, politics and contexts within which knowledge is produced, • that the anti-colonial is intimately connected to decolonization, and by extension, decolonization cannot happen solely through Western science scholarship, and • that the complex problems and challenges facing the world today defy universalist solutions, but can still be remedied. Indigeneity and Decolonial Resistance is an excellent text for use in a variety of upper-division undergraduate and graduate classrooms. It is also a valuable addition to the libraries of writers and researchers interested in indigenous studies and decolonialism. Perfect for courses such as: Anti-Colonial Thought, Indigenous Knowledges, and Decolonization, Education, Social Development, and Social Justice Research in Education, Race, Indigeneity, and the Colonial Politics of Recognition, Marginality and the Politics of Resistance, Indigenous Settler Relations Issues for Teachers, Education Leadership, Reform, and Curriculum Innovation, Leadership in Social-Change Organizations, Adaptive Leadership: Power, Identity, and Social Change, Equity & Anti-Oppression in Practice and the Promise of Diversity: Addressing Race and Power in Education Settings, Strategies and Policies for Narrowing Racial Achievement, and Major Concepts and Issues in Education.
