Book Synopsis Once Upon a Time Is Now by : Megan Biesele
Download or read book Once Upon a Time Is Now written by Megan Biesele and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2023 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years after her first fieldwork with Ju/'hoan San hunter-gatherers, anthropologist Megan Biesele has written this exceptional memoir based on personal journals she wrote at the time. The treasure trove of vivid learning experiences and nightly ponderings she found has led to a memoir of rare value to anthropology students and academics as well as to general readers. Her experiences focus on the long-lived healing dance, known to many as the trance dance, and the intricate beliefs, artistry, and social system that support it. She describes her immersion in a creative community enlivened and kept healthy by that dance, which she calls "one of the great intellectual achievements of humankind." From the Preface: A few years ago I finally got around to looking back into the box of personal field journals I had not opened for over forty years. I found a treasure trove. It was an overwhelming experience. So much that I had forgotten came vividly alive: I laughed, wept, and was terrified all over again at my temerity in taking on what I had taken on. To do justice to the richness of these notebooks, I realized, I would have to do a completely different sort of writing from anything I had ever done before.
Book Synopsis Once Upon a Time in Texas by : David Richards
Download or read book Once Upon a Time in Texas written by David Richards and published by Univ of TX + ORM. This book was released on 2010-07-22 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prominent lawyer colorfully recounts a lost and lamented era in Texas politics: “Fascinating . . . Vivid, insightful commentary.” —Houston Chronicle Once upon a time in Texas, there were liberal activists of various stripes who sought to make the state more tolerant (and more tolerable). David Richards was one of them. In this fast-paced, often humorous memoir, he remembers the players, the strategy sessions, the legal and political battles, and the wins and losses that brought significant gains in civil rights, voter rights, labor law, and civil liberties to the people of Texas from the 1950s to the 1990s. In his work as a lawyer, Richards was involved in cases addressing the historic exclusion of minority voters; inequity in school funding; free speech violations, and more. In telling these stories, he vividly evokes the glory days of Austin liberalism, when a who’s who of Texas activists plotted strategy at watering holes such as Scholz Garden and the Armadillo World Headquarters or on raft trips down the Rio Grande and Guadalupe Rivers. Likewise, he offers vivid portraits of liberal politicians from Ralph Yarborough to Ann Richards (his former wife), progressive journalists such as Molly Ivins and the Texas Observer staff, and the hippies, hellraisers, and musicians who all challenged Texas’s conservative status quo. Written with an insider’s insights, this book records “a sweeter time when a free-associating bunch of ragtag Texans took on the establishment.” “An invaluable memoir of the time.” —Journal of Southern History Includes photos

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Merriam Press Memoir. Once Upon a Time There Was a War is a kaleidoscope of events. It starts with World War II seen through the eyes of a child. The author was only nine years old when the war started and he writes about his memories of horrible events like hangings and executions of innocent people; senseless killings that brought misery to so many lives. But, being only a child, he also had times of fun and play. The reality of war, however, was ever-present. Despite those dark times, Les remained an optimist; he had his dreams of becoming an animator and of going to Hollywood. He didn't know how, but he was sure that someday he would reach his goal. Les reached his goal and had a long career working for studios in Poland, as well as Disney and Hanna-Barbera in the U.S., and others. Those fascinating stories, and many more, are also in this memoir.
Book Synopsis Once Upon a Time: Parallel Lives and The Voyage of Puffin by : Marjorie Shepherd Turner
Download or read book Once Upon a Time: Parallel Lives and The Voyage of Puffin written by Marjorie Shepherd Turner and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long ago, meaning early in the 20th century, before the Great Depression and all the wars of that and this century, before computers and social media, life did indeed go on in the United States. Telephones and radio and automobiles were new and not for everyone. Thus there were the rhythms of life and relationships, more akin to earlier times than to today. As now, it made a difference if you were born man or woman, black or white or other, rich or poor or whether Roe v. Wade had been decided by the Supreme Court. These novellas are of those times. Our young people made a voyage without the help of a GPS, using the skills of celestial navigation; our young women, black and white lived parallel lives side by each quietly bound by custom and tradition. What were they thinking? They could not know what lay ahead. So, in a way, they innocently pursued their lives, accepting the good and bad as God's will.

Download or read book San Antonio Beer written by Jeremy Banas and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brewing history and beer culture permeate San Antonio. The Menger Hotel and its bar notoriously frequented by Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders began as the city's first brewery in 1855. The establishment of San Antonio Brewing Association and Lone Star Brewery at the close of the nineteenth century began the city's golden age of brewing. Decades later, the Volstead Act decimated the city's brewing community. Only one brewery survived Prohibition. Those that bounced back were run out of business by imports coming in on the new railroad. The 1990s saw a craft comeback with the opening of the oldest existing brewpub, Blue Star Brewing Company. Today, San Antonio boasts a bevy of new breweries and celebrates its brewing heritage. Grab a pint and join authors Jeremy Banas and Travis E. Poling for a taste of Alamo City's hoppy history.
Book Synopsis Chainsaws, Slackers, and Spy Kids by : Alison Macor
Download or read book Chainsaws, Slackers, and Spy Kids written by Alison Macor and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1990s, Austin achieved “overnight” success and celebrity as a vital place for independent filmmaking. Directors Richard Linklater and Robert Rodriguez proved that locally made films with regional themes such as Slacker and El Mariachi could capture a national audience. Their success helped transform Austin’s homegrown film community into a professional film industry staffed with talented, experienced filmmakers and equipped with state-of-the art-production facilities. Today, Austin struggles to balance the growth and expansion of its film community with an ongoing commitment to nurture the next generation of independent filmmakers. Chainsaws, Slackers, and Spy Kids chronicles the evolution of this struggle by re-creating Austin’s colorful movie history. Based on revealing interviews with Richard Linklater, Robert Rodriguez, Mike Judge, Quentin Tarantino, Matthew McConaughey, George Lucas, and more than one hundred other players in the local and national film industries, Alison Macor explores how Austin has become a proving ground for contemporary independent cinema. She begins in the early 1970s with Tobe Hooper’s horror classic, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and follows the development of the Austin film scene through 2001 with the production and release of Rodriguez’s $100-million blockbuster, Spy Kids. Each chapter explores the behind-the-scenes story of a specific movie, such as Linklater’s Dazed and Confused and Judge’s Office Space, against the backdrop of Austin’s ever-expanding film community.

Book Synopsis Once Upon A Dream by : Jimmy Campagna
Download or read book Once Upon A Dream written by Jimmy Campagna and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-01-14 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story took place in Billings, Montana, seventy years ago, in 1948. It is about the life and adventures of Tom Blake, an investigative reporter for the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Chronicle. For twenty years, since age seven, Tom had a fascination with going West to discover and investigate what was left of the Wild Western frontier. The seed was planted by his father, who often talked about what it might be like out West. Tom’s dream was to become a cowboy. When he left his job at the Chronicle, little did he suspect that a freak auto accident outside Billings would result in a romance with the beautiful, vivacious, and provocative Cody Carson. Their adventures are fascinating and thrilling, particularly the capture of a cattle-rustling gang, a murder mystery, the investigation, and the trial. Their story also helped to fulfill my dream of researching and writing about the people of the West—wild or not.
