Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Odysseys is an anthology of twenty-two writers drawn from the shortlist for the 2011 Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Literature. Including work by Dinaw Mengestu, Téa Obreht, Yiyun Li, and introduced by poet Charles Simic, this collection is proof, if any be needed, that the heterogeneity of American society is its greatest asset. American Odysseys is an anthology of twenty-two novelists, poets, and short-story writers drawn from the shortlist for the 2011 Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Literature. Including Ethiopian-born Dinaw Mengestu, the recipient of the Prize; Yugoslavian-born Téa Obreht, the youngest author to receive the Orange Prize in Fiction; and Chinese-born Yiyun Li, a MacArthur Genius grantee, what these authors all have in common—and share with US Poet Laureate Charles Simic, who has contributed a foreword—is that they are immigrants to the United States, now excelling in their fields and dictating the terms by which future American writing will be judged by the world. Running the gamut from desperate realism to whimsical fantasy—from Miho Nonaka’s poetry, inspired by fourteenth-century Noh theater, to Ismet Prcic’s wrenching stories set in the aftermath of the Bosnian war—American Odysseys is proof, if any be needed, that the heterogeneity of American society is its greatest asset.

Download or read book American Odyssey written by Wilhelm Reich and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2004-05 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new autobiographical work by one of the most original and controversial thinkers of our time. "I looked up every day from behind the bars to the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. Her light shone brightly into a dark night." With these words, Wilhelm Reich described his experience as an "enemy alien" imprisoned on Ellis Island in the aftermath of the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. American Odyssey, compiled from his correspondence and journals, chronicles Reich's first years in America. They were years of prodigious accomplishment in which he developed the orgone energy accumulator-the so-called orgone box; published his first books in English; made breakthroughs in his investigation of orgone energy in social pathology, physics, astronomy, and cancer; and interested none other than Albert Einstein in testing his theories. America brought a new marriage, a new son, a new group of students, and a new laboratory. But these were years of fierce struggle as well: the denial of an American medical license, the refusal of a patent on the orgone accumulator, and, finally, a slanderous article that would incite the Food and Drug Administration to the dogged attack on Reich that would continue until his death in another prison cell ten years later. American Odyssey reveals more than a period in the life of an embattled scientist. It discloses the social and intellectual life of a country in a tumultuous time in history.

Book Synopsis North American Odyssey by : Craig E. Colten
Download or read book North American Odyssey written by Craig E. Colten and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking volume offers a fresh approach to conceptualizing the historical geography of North America by taking a thematic rather than a traditional regional perspective. Leading geographers, building on current scholarship in the field, explore five central themes. Part I explores the settling and resettling of the continent through the experiences of Native Americans, early European arrivals, and Africans. Part II examines nineteenth-century European immigrants, the reconfiguration of Native society, and the internal migration of African Americans. Part III considers human transformations of the natural landscape in carving out a transportation network, replumbing waterways, extracting timber and minerals, preserving wilderness, and protecting wildlife. Part IV focuses on human landscapes, blending discussions of the visible imprint of society and distinctive approaches to interpreting these features. The authors discuss survey systems, regional landscapes, and tourist and mythic landscapes as well as the role of race, gender, and photographic representation in shaping our understanding of past landscapes. Part V follows the urban impulse in an analysis of the development of the mercantile city, nineteenth- and twentieth-century planning, and environmental justice. With its focus on human-environment interactions, the mobility of people, and growing urbanization, this thoughtful text will give students a uniquely geographical way to understand North American history.

Download or read book American Odyssey written by Alvin Levie and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Odyssey, a novel set in the not-too-distant future, is the chilling story of a totalitarian America that has plummeted to a nation set on world domination. The protagonist, Herb, is a young "everyman", a schoolteacher. He falls in love with a colleague who introduces him to the resistance movement. A series of personal misfortunes, including the death of his soldier twin, impel him to become a dedicated activist against the dictatorship. His group is soon exposed, and he and his love, Tony, become fugitives. She is soon killed. At that point Herb's odyssey begins as he travels the nation in search of "the movement". The preponderance of the novel reveals the state of the nation and of the people. He comes into contact with a cross-section of the United States. They are men and women -- laborers, farmers, professionals, students..They are Black and white and Hispanic, and each is unique in the manner in which his/her life has been degraded under the dictatorship. At the beginning they are impoverished, fearful, dispirited. In time, as the economic crisis deepens and battlefield losses mount, there are changes in the populace. Apathy turns to anger and then to resistance. Herb becomes reconnected with the opposition to the dictatorship. The American people in large numbers, disheartened by the desperate quality of their lives, simply "opt-out" of the system. The military, too, appalled by the unending wars and bloodshed, also becomes disaffected. Millions converge upon Washington, D.C. the dictatorship falls, and the foundation is laid for the re-establishment of democracy in the United States.

Successful at hunting caribou, Roxor and Xoxa are set for the winter when two of Roxor's friends stumble upon their camp. Soon, they are bringing their women and forming a new band led by Roxor. After spending time with the Taigan people at the edges of the Rocky Mountains, the band eventually continues south and slowly adapts to life on the High Plains and along the Mississippi River. Developing new weapons and skills, they'll become known as the Clovis culture. All along the way, their journey is fraught with peril. Unknown species in the new lands present unexpected challenges.
