In Line for the Exterminator: Poems By Jim Daniels
2007 | 132 Pages | ISBN: 0814333818 | EPUB | 1 MB
In Line for the Exterminator is the final collection in Jim Daniels's trilogy of books explaining the urban working-class landscape. Daniels, who grew up near the Eight Mile Road boundary between Detroit and suburban Warren, Michigan, walks the razor's edge of the borderline in this collection, examining complex issues of race and class that are a part of daily life there. The title poem, "In Line for the Exterminator," sets the ironic tone for this collection, examining a group of people waiting in line for a sinister-sounding amusement-park ride. Daniels presents blue-collar culture both in and out of the workplace, showing its profound influence on the lives of workers and their families. As in Places/Everyone and M-80, Daniels uses his character Digger to show the effects of work on outside life, following Digger into retirement from his factory job and into his struggle to find a new future. In addition, Daniels deals frankly with the specter of urban violence that haunts the community and threatens to tear it apart. Local heroes, from professional wrestler the Sheik to the contemporary rapper Eminem, also appear as touchstones for the community's complex view of itself. How do ordinary citizens sustain hope and dignity in the face of economic and societal upheaval? How do people avoid the mirages offered by drugs and alcohol, or the intoxication of guns and crime? In Line for the Exterminator offers no easy answers but presents searing portraits of individuals struggling with these questions and finding small victories and moments of consolation in their everyday lives. Those interested in poetry, depictions of working-class city life, and Detroit social history will enjoy this significant volume.

In Which Brief Stories Are Told (Made in Michigan Writer Series) By Phillip Sterling
2011 | 144 Pages | ISBN: 0814335071 | EPUB | 1 MB
In Which Brief Stories Are Told presents a collage of moments in the lives of average people―car salesmen and motel maids, mothers and fathers, neighbors and professional colleagues―with small-town northern Michigan as a backdrop. Author Phillip Sterling invites readers to share his characters' small tragedies and victories in fifteen deceptively simple, intimate stories. While varied in length from short glimpses to longer narratives, each of the stories is defined by a unique perspective, as characters present their version of a story―sometimes other peoples' stories―clouded by the same emotion, judgment, and passing of time that inhabit all of our memories.The stories in this collection contain laments and mysteries: a car salesman implicates himself in a crime that he is not sure ever took place, a third-shift convenience store clerk accepts her unfortunate disfigurement, dinner parties generate jealousy and resignation among their participants, a sister's disappearance creates a long-standing familial black hole, a sailboat comes to symbolize the longing of an elderly couple, and a daughter finds answers in her father's speechlessness. In what is often unspoken or unacknowledged, Sterling's narrators draw readers into complicity. Readers will identify with these characters, who weigh the what-ifs and could-haves at length, often for longer than it takes to recount the actual events of their stories, revealing the telltale signs of our own heartache, guilt, or feelings of forgiveness in the process.Sterling's realistic and intriguing stories offer haunting glimpses of characters and situations that are original but familiar. Readers of short fiction and enthusiasts of Michigan stories will enjoy this unique collection.

Roger Lundin, "Invisible Conversations: Religion in the Literature of America"
English | 2009 | ISBN: 1602581479 | PDF | pages: 223 | 1.1 mb
American literature offers exceptional resources for understanding the complex role religion has played in the life of the culture and in the experience of its people. In recent decades, however, the academic study of that literature has largely treated religion, in the words of a noted scholar, as an "invisible domain." In joining the rich conversations that have enlivened American culture for centuries, Invisible Conversations seeks to bring to light the vital role that religion has played in the literature of the United States.

Kirsten Swenson, "Irrational Judgments: Eva Hesse, Sol LeWitt, and 1960s New York"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 0300211562 | PDF | pages: 200 | 9.3 mb
An intimate study of the friendship and creative dialogue between two artists, offering an in-depth understanding of their work and the upheavals of 1960s New York

Irrational Judgments examines the close friendship and significant exchange of ideas between Eva Hesse (1936-1970) and Sol LeWitt (1928-2007) in New York City during the 1960s. Taking its title from LeWitt's statement "Irrational judgments lead to new experience," this book examines the breakthroughs of the artists' intertwined careers, offering a new understanding of minimal, post-minimal, and conceptual art amid the era's political and social upheavals.
Kirsten Swenson offers the first in-depth discussion of the early critical developments of each artist: LeWitt's turn from commercial design to fine art, and Hesse's move from expressionist painting to reliefs and sculpture. Bringing together a wealth of documents, interviews, and images-many published here for the first time-this handsome publication presents an insightful account of the artists' influence on and support for each other's pursuit of an experimental practice. Swenson's analysis expands our understanding of the artists' ideas, the importance of their work, and, more broadly, the relationship of the 1960s New York art world to gender politics, the Vietnam War, and the city itself.

The Whitechapel Society The Whitechapel Society, "Jack the Ripper Terrible Legacy: The Terrible Legacy"
English | ISBN: 0752493310 | 2013 | 96 pages | EPUB | 957 KB
Jack the Ripper was the slayer of at least five female victims in London's East End, but his legacy left many more victims in its wake than he could have ever imagined. From the Royal Family and the British Government to the London Police and minority groups, the list of 'other' victims that were created as a direct result of the Jack the Ripper murders goes on and on. Following the success of their first book, the authors from The Whitechapel Society have compiled this ultimate force in Ripper research, in which each group is looked at in detail. The authors are veteran Ripper chroniclers, familiar with the highways and byways of the Ripper road map. They share the principle that in all the plethora of commentaries about the Whitechapel Murderer, there are many categories of victim apart from the five women slain in the streets in the autumn of 1888.

Frank H. Baumgardner III, "Killing for Land in Early California - Indian Blood at Round Valley"
English | 2005 | pages: 319 | ISBN: 0875863647 | PDF | 7,3 mb
In Killing for Land in Early California - Indian Blood at Round Valley, Frank H. Baumgardner III offers a deeply researched and vivid account of the violent and tragic conflict between Native Americans and White settlers in early California. This book exposes the brutal clash for land, where bloodshed, displacement, and systematic injustice left a lasting scar on the region now known as Mendocino County. The work underscores the harsh realities of colonialism and the consequences of greed in a land full of promise, yet ravaged by conquest. This historical examination sheds light on a largely untold part of American history- the violent battles over land and gold in California's early settlement period. Baumgardner vividly portrays how the influx of White settlers, spurred by the Gold Rush, led to an outright land grab that dispossessed Native American tribes of their ancestral homelands. The Native peoples, including the Round Valley Pomo, Wailaki, and Yuki tribes, were left to face systematic violence, broken promises, and forced relocation. The tragedy at Round Valley is one of the many heart-wrenching episodes that characterize this fraught period in California's history. Eyewitness Accounts and Authentic Detail: Baumgardner's extensive research is drawn from a wealth of sources, including eyewitness accounts and government documents. Through first-hand reports, letters, and records, he paints a compelling picture of how different actors-the US Army, the California State Legislature, and the US Congress-played roles in either facilitating or turning a blind eye to the brutalities inflicted upon Native peoples. The Role of Government and Military: One of the key themes of Killing for Land in Early California is the role that various governmental and military bodies played in this violent upheaval. The book examines how the federal government, through legislation and military force, allowed and even encouraged the dispossession of Native lands. The US Army was often involved in carrying out or supporting brutal actions against Native Americans, leading to their forced removal to reservations. At the same time, the California State Legislature passed laws that further alienated Native Americans from their land and rights, making it impossible for them to resist encroachment by settlers. The Lasting Impact on Native Americans: The conflict over land in early California left deep scars on the Indigenous populations of the region. Baumgardner outlines how the reservation system, introduced as a solution by the federal government, did little to protect Native peoples from violence and exploitation. Reservations were often remote, undersupplied, and inadequately protected, leading to continued suffering and displacement. A Critical Piece of American History: Indian Blood at Round Valley serves as both a cautionary tale and a critical historical record of one of the darkest chapters in California's history. The narrative is a stark reminder of the profound human cost of American westward expansion, where the pursuit of land and wealth led to the destruction of entire communities and cultures. Conclusion: In Killing for Land in Early California, Baumgardner presents a meticulously detailed account of how greed, power, and a desire for land fueled horrific violence against Native Americans. By drawing on extensive primary sources and framing this history through the broader context of American expansion, the book provides valuable insights into the deep-rooted injustices faced by Native communities. It calls on readers to reflect on the consequences of unchecked power and the lasting legacy of colonialism. it stands as an important contribution to American historical scholarship and a sobering reminder of the cost of progress. This compelling book will resonate with history enthusiasts, scholars, and readers who seek to understand the darker facets of American history through an honest, well-researched lens.

Leslie Edwards, "Kohima"
English | ISBN: 0750988940 | 2018 | 496 pages | EPUB | 13 MB
By the end of 1943, the Japanese had occupied most of South-East Asia. On March 6, 1944, the first units of the Japanese 15 Army crossed the inhospitable border of what was then Burma, and invaded India. At the township of Kohima they were met by a small, hastily assembled force of Indian and British troops, later reinforced by 2 Division of Slim's 14 Army, who fought valiantly and forced the Japanese to retreat. Described by Mountbatten as "the British/Indian Thermopylae," Kohima was a turning point in Japanese fortunes, heralding their continued defeat in battle until their formal surrender on September 2, 1945. Using extensive research in primary sources and many previously unpublished first-hand accounts, Leslie Edwards presents a definitive analysis of this pivotal battle.

Land of Stone: Breaking Silence Through Poetry By Karen Chase
2007 | 202 Pages | ISBN: 081433315X | PDF | 1 MB
For more than a decade, Karen Chase taught poetry writing to severely incapacitated patients at a large psychiatric hospital outside of New York City. During that time, she began working with Ben, a handsome, formerly popular and athletic young man who had given up speaking and had withdrawn from social interaction. Meeting on the locked ward every week for two years, Chase and Ben passed a pad of paper back and forth, taking turns writing one line of poetry each, ultimately producing 180 poems that responded to, diverged from, and built on each other's words. Land of Stone is Chase's account of writing with Ben, an experience that was deeply transformative for both poet and patient. In Chase's engrossing narrative, readers will find inspiration in the power of writing to change and heal, as well as a compelling firsthand look at the relationship between poet and patient. As she tells of Ben's struggle to come out of silence, Chase also recounts the issues in her own life that she confronts by writing with Ben, including her mother's recent death and a childhood struggle with polio. Also, since poetry writing seems to reach Ben in a way that his clinical therapy cannot, Chase describes and analyzes Ben's writing in detail to investigate the changes that appeared to be taking place in him as their work progressed. A separate section presents twenty-two poems that Chase wrote with Ben, selected to show his linguistic development over time, and a final section offers Chase's thoughtful reflections on the creative process. Land of Stone will provide honest and valuable insight to psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, alternative therapists, and other mental health practitioners, and will also surely be of interest to creative writers, teachers, linguists, and anyone looking to explore the connections between language and healing.

Douglas Boyd, "Lionheart: The True Story of England's Crusader King"
English | ISBN: 0752476602 | 2014 | 224 pages | MOBI | 4 MB
When people think of Richard the Lionheart they recall the scene at the end of every Robin Hood epic when he returns from theCrusades to punish his treacherous brother John and the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham. In reality Richard detested England andthe English, was deeply troubled by his own sexuality and was noted for greed, not generosity, and for murder rather than mercy.In youth Richard showed no interest in girls; instead, a taste for cruelty and a rapacity for gold that would literally be the death of him. To save his own skin, he repeatedly abandoned his supporters to an evil fate, and his indifference to women saw the part of queen at his coronation played by his formidable mother, Queen Eleanor.His brief reign bankrupted England twice, destabilised the powerful empire his parents had put together and set the scene for his brother's ruinous rule. So how has Richard come to be known as the noble Christian warrior associated with such bravery and patriotism? Lionheart reveals the scandalous truth about England's hero king - a truth that is far different from the legend that has endured for eight centuries.
