Book excerpt: The Turner family, headed by Jessup Paul Turner, is a power force in the country. The family is obsessed with the preservation of its heritage and dynasty, but is cursed with marriages that produce a single male heir each generation. Jessup Paul Turner's wife produces an heir. Unfortunately, the heir is a girl. The girl, Debra, while in college, falls in love with a Black student. They marry against family wishes and she becomes pregnant, unacceptable for the Turner dynasty preservation. Turner determines that the child must be killed to preserve the Turner lineage. Turner sends men, led by his personal bodyguard, to kill the baby. The bodyguard, in love with Debra, kills the hit men instead. The young child is precocious and as he matures, believes himself to be the son of God. He attracts a large following, called the Jessupites. Turner, now with a male heir, as a result of a relationship with a prostitute, is determined, now more than ever, to have the Black boy killed. He puts into motion a plan to kill the Black Prophet.

Book Synopsis In Search of Snow by : Luis Alberto Urrea
Download or read book In Search of Snow written by Luis Alberto Urrea and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the hot Arizona desert of the late 1950s, Mike McGurk comes of age in one big, riotous gush. Trapped pumping gas at a desolate roadstop, he yearns for things he has never known: love, hope, and the soft, white calmness of snow. Mike's world is filled with a menagerie of quirky characters, who cope with the weight of their unfulfilled dreams with bravado, humor, and violence. Mike trades snappy insults with his macho father, Texaco Turk McGurk, a moustachioed amateur boxer and self-proclaimed war hero who is unable to talk about love. Mike lusts after Lily, his seductive, poem-writing cousin. He cowers before and then confronts the vicious Ramses, grandson of Mr. Sneezy, the wisecracking Apache. And he is rescued by his best friend, Bobo, who delivers him into the care of the loving and generous Mama and Papa Garcia. In Search of Snow is an explosive coming-of-age adventure, full of hilarious episodes and still, poignant moments. Like a blue-collar Don Quixote, Mike must blow up his windmills before he can set off to find the things he lacks, especially the snow that will temper the passion he has just set aflame.

Download or read book Snow written by and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience the infinite varieties of snow in the Alps through the lens of famed Austrian landscape photographer Peter Mathis. Renowned for his gorgeous mountain scenes and spectacular photos of winter athletes, Peter Mathis has chosen black-andwhite film to capture the essence of snow in this book. These stunning duotone images render a traditional Alpen landscape into painterly canvases that are in turns otherworldly, sensuous, haunting, and heavenly. Skiers' tracks zig and zag through the powder and windswept waves of snow undulate like desert sand. Impeccably reproduced in large, full-bleed format, these images showcase an enormous palette, from the deepest black to the most immaculate white, and every imaginable tone in between. Mathis's texts recall the instances of each shot, many of which require days of trekking through mountains with nearly fifty pounds of equipment strapped to his back. Reminiscent of the works of Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, Mathis's photographs perfectly evoke the biting cold, blazing sun, deep shadows, and blinding lights that make the Alps a uniquely beautiful landscape and snow a powerful force of nature.
