Book Synopsis Tales From The River by : James Wallace
Download or read book Tales From The River written by James Wallace and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-13 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales From The River is a collection of 33 short stories inspired by the author's sunrise walks through a 300-year old Southern town on the Mississippi River. "Every tale lures you to the next, from the fanciful, to the historical, to the other worldly. Are they real or are they imagined? You'll wonder. I loved it . . . It stirs the imagination. Tales From The River reminded me of Marjorie Rawlings who wrote the Pulitzer-Prize-winning The Yearling. Marjorie's editor, Maxwell Perkins, suggested she write a book appealing to both young and old. Marjorie thought a moment and replied, 'You sit there at your desk and ask me to write a classic.' Which Marjorie did. [Tales From The River] is that kind of book." - Review published in the Commercial Dispatch (Columbus, MS) *** Tales From The River is divided into four parts, with stories for all ages. Part One (children+) Become friends with elves, trolls, sproots, and a pocket mouse! Part Two (middle school+) Discover a magic wishing well . . . meet a special sparrow . . . learn the secret of the Last Leaf . . . eavesdrop on the CIA . . . sneak into an abandoned building at night . . . battle on the high seas . . . ride a fire-breathing dragon . . . survive an alien encounter . . . and dare to enter Dead Man's Cave. Part Three (teens+) Fight in a foggy, dawn skirmish between Union and Confederate soldiers . . . befriend a mysterious old man and his forest creatures . . . join a SEAL team on a dangerous, highly-classified mission . . . and come face to face with ghosts (not all friendly). Part Four (the rest of us) Experience the vibrancy of the world around us . . . read stories that will make you laugh . . . cry . . . and reflect on the importance of family and friendship, the joy and pain of love, and the wonderment of life and what we make of it. Tales From The River will delight and entertain both adult and younger readers. At the end of each story, the author adds a note to the reader, explaining the "idea spark" for the fantastical, haunting, humorous, thrilling, mysterious, or bittersweet tale. Sometimes a fleeting observation can be the catalyst for an amazing story. We need only unleash our imaginations.
Download or read book The River's Tale written by Edward Gargan and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2003-01-07 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along the Mekong, from northern Tibet to Lijiang, from Luang Prabang to Phnom Penh to Can Lo, I moved from one world to another, among cultural islands often ignorant of each other’s presence. Yet each island, as if built on shifting sands and eroded and reshaped by a universal sea, was re-forming itself, or was being remolded, was expanding its horizons or sinking under the rising waters of a cultural global warming. It was a journey between worlds, worlds fragiley conjoined by a river both ominous and luminescent, muscular and bosomy, harsh and sensuous. From windswept plateaus to the South China Sea, the Mekong flows for three thousand miles, snaking its way through Southeast Asia. Long fascinated with this part of the world, former New York Times correspondent Edward Gargan embarked on an ambitious exploration of the Mekong and those living within its watershed. The River’s Tale is a rare and profound book that delivers more than a correspondent’s account of a place. It is a seminal examination of the Mekong and its people, a testament to the their struggles, their defeats and their victories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND TRAVELERS had crossed the Oregon Trail during the gold rush of 1849. Even the most backwoods warrior understood what that meant: disease, death, and conflict with the whites. As a result of the Treaty of 1851, some Indians were convinced that the country to the north—called Absaraka—might be a better option for a home range. At the very least, it held the promise of less trouble from the whites. The danger from other tribes was another matter.
Book Synopsis Three Rivers by : Tiffany Quay Tyson
Download or read book Three Rivers written by Tiffany Quay Tyson and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melody Mahaffey, trapped into touring for years with a third-rate Christian pop band she can hardly stand, is almost relieved to receive her mother's distress call. But when she returns home to care for her dying father and brain-damaged brother at the sprawling, defunct Three Rivers Farm, Melody is shocked to discover that her mother has abandoned the family. Sure that her daughter will do the right thing, Geneva has left to seek spiritual guidance and break things off with her long-time lover. Rain begins to fall and an epic flood threatens the Mississippi Delta. While Melody tries to get a handle on the chaos at home, a man and his little boy are squatting on her land, escaping their own nightmare. Obi is on the run from a horrific mistake, and he's intent on keeping his son with him at any cost. When the storm arrives, though, they have no choice but to take shelter in Melody's house. And the waters just keep rising. A lifetime of lies, misunderstandings and dark secrets bubble to the surface as the flood destroys the land and threatens their lives. Set against the fertile but dangerous landscape of the rural south near the fictional town of White Forest, Mississippi, Three Rivers beautifully weaves together three parallel stories, told over three days, as each character is propelled headlong into the storm.
Download or read book One River written by Wade Davis and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of two generations of scientific explorers in South America—Richard Evans Schultes and his protégé Wade Davis—an epic tale of adventure and a compelling work of natural history. In 1941, Professor Richard Evan Schultes took a leave from Harvard and disappeared into the Amazon, where he spent the next twelve years mapping uncharted rivers and living among dozens of Indian tribes. In the 1970s, he sent two prize students, Tim Plowman and Wade Davis, to follow in his footsteps and unveil the botanical secrets of coca, the notorious source of cocaine, a sacred plant known to the Inca as the Divine Leaf of Immortality. A stunning account of adventure and discovery, betrayal and destruction, One River is a story of two generations of explorers drawn together by the transcendent knowledge of Indian peoples, the visionary realms of the shaman, and the extraordinary plants that sustain all life in a forest that once stood immense and inviolable.
Download or read book River Monsters written by Jeremy Wade and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2011-11-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tale of obsession and very big fish from Jeremy Wade, the presenter of ITV's RIVER MONSTERS. Over ten feet long, it weighs in at nearly a quarter of a ton. Covering its back are armoured plates made of bone. Five hundred stiletto-sharp teeth line its long crocodilian jaws. It's a prehistoric beast of staggering proportions; a fearsome creature from the time of the dinosaurs. But the Alligator Gar, an air-breathing survivor from the Cretaceous period is still with us today, patrolling inland rivers, hunting in murky waters shared by human communities. And for Jeremy Wade, described as the 'greatest angling explorer of his generation', the Gar and other outlandish freshwater predators have been an obsession for all his adult life. With names like Arapaima, Snakehead, Goonch, Goliath Tigerfish and Electric Eel, many of them have acquired an almost mythical status. In a quest that has taken him from the Amazon to the Congo, and from North America to the mountains of India, Wade has pursued the truth about these little known, often misunderstood animals. Along the way he's survived a plane crash, malaria and a fish-inflicted blow to the chest that, according to a later scan, caused permanent scarring to his heart. In RIVER MONSTERS, Wade delivers a sometimes jaw-dropping blend of adventure, natural history, legend and detective work. It reads like a hunt for the Loch Ness Monster. But it's all true. These are fisherman's tales like you've never heard before. The stories of the ones that didn't get away ...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rhyme of the Southern Rivers: With Notes Historical, Traditional, Geographical, Etymological, Etc;; For the Use of Teachers, Schools, and General Readers Where are all the rhythmic rivers of our sunny Southern clime, Rivers named in Indian legend or in tongue of later time Rivers quaint, or rivers mighty, rivers grand, or rivers Wee From the trickling o'er the pebbles, to the sound or gulf or sea? How do all their waters fiow, From their fountains gushing, through the mountains rushing Past the mosses and the ferns; Then, with tireless toil and turns, Dashing deftly, splashing swiftly; Over cascades curling, in the pastures purling; Round through. Rugged rocky caverns whirling; Over ledges lightly leaping, through the valleys softly sweeping Gracefully and slow; By the busy cities creeping, in the murky marshes sleeping Peacefully, dreamily and low; How through forest and the bayou wending, With the Ocean and its myriads blending From the mosses and the ferns, How with ceaseless, tireless toil and turns Then do all these rivers How To their sea-home With the sea-foam? Where are heard their noisy numbers? Where are kept their restless slumbers? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Southern Rivers written by R. Scot Duncan and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2024-03-15 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Southern Rivers: Restoring America's Freshwater Biodiversity, R. Scot Duncan explores the environmental history and future of the rivers of the southeastern United States. These river systems are the epicenter of North American freshwater biodiversity and the top global hotspot for several aquatic taxa including mussels, turtles, snails, crayfish, and temperate zone fish; these rivers also play a prominent role in the region's history, culture, and economy. Unfortunately, centuries of industrialization have impaired the region's river systems, sacrificing biodiversity and compromising their ability to provide essential ecosystem services like drinking water, waste disposal, irrigation, navigation, and power production to human communities. And now overall waterflow is diminishing in the Southeast due to increasing heat and drought brought by climate change. As these and other threats to the region's water supply increase, it may seem necessary to prioritize between using water for natural resource conservation or reserving it for human concerns-but Duncan argues this is a false choice. Combining nature, science, and stories in a series of short, illustrated chapters, Southern Rivers takes readers on an illuminating journey of the Southeast's river systems and the many communities that depend on them. Duncan cogently articulates the challenges threatening rivers, streams, and wetlands in the face of the planet's accelerating climate and extinction crises, then turns to explore the new solutions conservationists and water managers have developed to preserve them. Ultimately, the book is both a call to action and a clear, comprehensive, practical plan to help the Southeast save its water resources and adapt to climate change by restoring the very biodiversity that is now under threat"--
