Armenia: Portraits of Survival and Hope

Donald E. Miller, Lorna Touryan Miller


Armenia: Portraits of Survival and Hope Donald E. Miller, Lorna Touryan Miller University of California Press. A remarkable view of how geopolitics affects ordinary people, this book documents, in words and pictures, the lives of Armenians in the last two decades. Based on intimate interviews with three hundred Armenians and featuring Jerry Berndt's superb photographs, it brings together firsthand testimony about the social, economic, and spiritual circumstances of Armenians during the 1980s and 1990s, when the country faced an earthquake, pogroms, and war. At times shocking and deeply emotional, Armenia: Portraits of Survival and Hope is a story of extreme suffering and hardship, a searching look at the fight for independence, and an exceptionally complex portrait of the human spirit. A companion to the Millers' highly acclaimed work Survivors: An Oral History of the Armenian Genocide, which documented the genocide of 1915, this book focuses on four groups of people: survivors of the earthquakes that devastated northwestern Armenia in 1988; refugees from Azerbaijan who fled... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин University of California Press.

Don't Foul Out!

Kenneth T Ito


Don't Foul Out! Kenneth T Ito iUniverse. All it takes is one dramatic winning shot to transform Eddie Holder, a high school basketball player, from a humble and considerate student into a selfish and egotistical monster. And now, thinking that he's iUniverse. All it takes is one dramatic winning shot to transform Eddie Holder, a high school basketball player, from a humble and considerate student into a selfish and egotistical monster. And now, thinking that he's "dope" on the basketball courts, Eddie decides to drop out of school to pursue his hoop dreams. Consequently, he'll do anything to reach his goal, even if it means alienating everybody including his former best friend and teammate, Richie Sykes, and selling his soul to the devil. When things veer totally out of control, a fast-thinking, fun-loving and colorful character named Slamm Dunkk and the "Spirits of Basketball Past," "Present" and "Future" pay a visit to Eddie and take him by the hand and hoop to a mysterious and alternate realm, forcing him to examine his past, present and alternate future. Based loosely on Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol , Eddie must decide which path he must choose and confront all his demons--internal and external--before he really......

Mojave Lands: Interpretive Planning and the National Preserve

Elisabeth M. Hamin


Mojave Lands: Interpretive Planning and the National Preserve Elisabeth M. Hamin Book Description Controversy inevitably accompanies attempts at land protection, even in cases of large, uninhabited, economically marginal locations. In 1994, for example, the California Desert Protection Act created the Mojave National Preserve, the third largest national park in the lower forty-eight states. The act transferred three million acres of southern California desert from the Bureau of Land Management to the National Park Service. As a result, explains Elisabeth M. Hamin, the National ParkService became a multiple-use manager, balancing its official mission of environmental protection with oversight of such activities as hunting, ranching, and mining. In Mojave Lands: Interpretive Planning and the National Preserve , Hamin explains how this new role came about. Drawing on interviews with people on various sides of the issue -- from mining lobbyists to local ecotourism operators, legislators to gun advocates -- she shows how the differing parties argued and... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book Description Controversy inevitably accompanies attempts at land protection, even in cases of large, uninhabited, economically marginal locations.

Rip It Up : The Black Experience in Rock N Roll

Tassia Kolesnikow


Rip It Up : The Black Experience in Rock N Roll Tassia Kolesnikow Book Description When Mos Def, platinum-selling New York-based rapper, decided to make a foray into rock 'n roll he called his band Book Description When Mos Def, platinum-selling New York-based rapper, decided to make a foray into rock 'n roll he called his band "Jack Johnson." The name choice was a telling one: Johnson was the first black world heavyweight boxing champion, a man who has been described as "fighting not only for his own dignity but also to knock white America off its haughty perch." The band Jack Johnson continues the tradition of setting the story straight by challenging the notion that rock is an exclusively white domain. Collecting the stories of Jimi Hendrix, Arthur Lee and Love, Prince, the punk band Bad Brains, and more obscure black members of "white" bands, along with original interviews with Slash from Guns n' Roses, Little Richard, Lenny Kravitz, and others, it becomes clear that the true story of blacks in rock has remained largely untold for far too long. This is essential reading for any rock fan, presenting the history of rock from an angle unseen until now....
