Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Thousand Miles of Dreams is an evocative and intimate biography of two Chinese sisters who took very different paths in their quests to be independent women. Ling Shuhao arrived in Cleveland in 1925 to study medicine in the middle of a U.S. crackdown on Chinese immigrant communities, and her effort to assimilate began. She became an American named Amy, while her sister Ling Shuhua burst onto the Beijing literary scene as a writer of short fiction. Shuhua's tumultuous affair with Virginia Woolf's nephew during his years in China eventually drew her into the orbit of the Bloomsbury group. The sisters were Chinese "modern girls" who sought to forge their own way in an era of social revolution that unsettled relations between men and women and among nations. Daughters of an imperial scholar-official and a concubine, they followed trajectories unimaginable to their parents' generation. Biographer Sasha Su-Ling Welland stumbled across their remarkable stories while recording her grandmother's oral history. She discovered the secret Amy had jealously hidden from family in the United States—her sister's fame as a Chinese woman writer—as well as intriguing discrepancies between the sisters' versions of the past. Shaped by the social history of their day, the journeys of these extraordinary women spanned the twentieth century and three continents in a saga of East-West cultural exchange and personal struggle.

A century later - 1951 - and about a hundred and fifty miles away, another war began when the U.S. government started setting off nuclear bombs at the Nevada Test Site. It was called a "nuclear testing program" but functioned as a war against the land and people of the Great Basin."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A picturesque, reflective journey along the route of the ancient Milk River, from southern Alberta into northern Montana. The Milk River is a small and dreamy river, flowing lazily through some of the loneliest lands of North America, the dry plains of Alberta and Montana. Dwarfed by such giants as the Saskatchewan and Mississippi Rivers, it is indeed as meek as its name, virtually unknown to most North Americans. Yet few streams can match its incredible international journey, the magical beauty of its landscape, or the long and often sad history that suffuses every inch of its 1,200-kilometre passage. The Milk River has always been a special place for the Indigenous Peoples of the plains, providing them with physical and spiritual sustenance. Yet the river's story also encompasses the settlement of the northwestern plains at a time of great change, when Indigenous ways of life were being systematically extinguished, first by brazen whiskey traders and later the flow of immigration and the military will of the US cavalry. As settlement prevailed, brave hopes and dreams often fell victim to injustices and anguish. With lyrical prose, stunning photography, and remarkable insight into the history and geography of the region, River of Dreams is a meditation on the beauty and significance of Milk River country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Florida Book Awards, Gold Medal for Florida Nonfiction Florida Historical Society Charlton Tebeau Book Award A leading Florida historian explores one of the state’s most consequential eras It was a time of stunning episodes of boom and bust, an era of extremes, a decade of historic changes that point to Florida’s future. In this book, eminent historian Gary Mormino illuminates early twenty-first-century Florida and its connections to some of the most significant events in contemporary American history. Following Mormino’s milestone work Land of Sunshine, State of Dreams, which details the dynamic history of Florida from 1950 to 2000, Dreams in the New Century explores the state’s tumultuous next chapter, a period that included the Bush v. Gore election, 9/11, the housing bubble and Great Recession, and the election of Barack Obama. During these years the Elián González story engrossed the country, Tim Tebow rose to football fame, and Donald Trump became a Florida celebrity. From hurricanes to Ponzi schemes, red tides, climate change, the “Stand-Your-Ground” gun law, demographic diversity, and more, Florida offered nonstop news fodder that reflected its extraordinary internal trends and its importance in the nation. As Mormino shows, Florida is a place of deep conflicts—North and South, liberal and conservative, newcomer and local, growth and conservation—with histories that can be traced back centuries. In 2000‒2010, Mormino argues, these tensions collided to produce a “Big Bang” that will continue to resonate in years to come. Mormino takes stock of this crucible of change and explains the social, cultural, and political intricacies of a state the world struggles to understand. Dreams in the New Century unravels Florida’s complicated recent history in a gripping, informative, and fascinating narrative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although his seeking to accomplish great things in the goal of the "American dream" is fallen before his eyes, there is a meaning which is new. As he faces the truth before him, a kind of cosmic connection grows more apparent in his awareness. He finds new ways of being, and a mindfulness in expression that does work for his life anyway. While he may never be and Admiral in the US military, he feels a growing awareness of his leadership as his ideal of being an Astronaut become more clear to him. And his resistance to advice on how to be "a man" has kept his friendship and good relations with others in the arts who are also non-conformist to antiquated ways of dealing with their humanity. He sees a bigger dream that he understood as a teenager, and he lives well in the shadow of his dreams.

Book excerpt: When John, Jane, Sue and Lisa, four children of different ages, temperaments and desires, travel to Egypt for a great adventure to look for priceless treasure in the ancient pyramids, they experience challenges beyond their wildest dreams. However, one of them has a secret: she is planning a meeting with a local boy whose life story she has learned through contacts in an internet chat room. Their first tasks in this mysterious land are those of the average tourist: inspecting the treasures in the vast museum and wending their way through the maze that is the Cheop pyramid. They could not know that what seemed like normal encounters were deliberate attempts to attract their attention, or that their plans would take an unexpected turn as one of the children disappears and is soon followed by another. The three who remain in the dark pathways of the pyramid feel varying degrees of fear and hysteria but find friendship and challenges when they meet a surprising savior a long-lost queen who needs their help to regain her kingdom. Just as they make her acquaintance, the first of the lost children reappears and the four of them accept an invitation to play a magic board game which seems a bit scary. Once they are assured that nothing bad will happen to them, and that the game is a test of their skills and personalities, the children embark on a series of adventures which transport them, one at a time, back into ancient civilizations where they live out the roles of old villains and heroes, and meet mystical creatures. Each of the adventures requires courage and resourcefulness as they fulfil their roles and form a lasting bond with their lovely queen. They experience events that more than meet anything they could have imagined, but one of them has a more important desire, that of meeting her exotic soul mate who has been lost to her.
