Book excerpt: During a rainy weekend in a small Virginia town, four college friends are reunited after spending the last three years apart. They are called together for reasons they don’t fully understand, and it soon becomes clear that not everything is how it seems. Among them are Reggie “Battle” Battlefield, the organizer of the reunion and son of a prominent state politician; Jake Mathis, a successful business manager from Cincinnati who knows more than he’s letting on; Travis Li, a sports reporter in the nation’s capital trying to break the biggest story of the year; and Tommy Covington, a former hero who now lives alone in Kansas City. As the weekend unfolds, tensions flare as the group struggles to learn the real purpose of their reunion. New secrets are revealed, old wounds are reopened, and a dark figure from their past comes back to haunt them all. Their homecoming suddenly appears to be the work of a larger and more dangerous plot, and the group is unexpectedly launched on a final mission to save one of their own. But succeeding means working together, forcing the former college pals to reexamine their friendship and question their once unshakable loyalty to each other.
Book Synopsis Ethnography through Thick and Thin by : George E. Marcus
Download or read book Ethnography through Thick and Thin written by George E. Marcus and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1980s, George Marcus spearheaded a major critique of cultural anthropology, expressed most clearly in the landmark book Writing Culture, which he coedited with James Clifford. Ethnography through Thick and Thin updates and advances that critique for the late 1990s. Marcus presents a series of penetrating and provocative essays on the changes that continue to sweep across anthropology. He examines, in particular, how the discipline's central practice of ethnography has been changed by "multi-sited" approaches to anthropology and how new research patterns are transforming anthropologists' careers. Marcus rejects the view, often expressed, that these changes are undermining anthropology. The combination of traditional ethnography with scholarly experimentation, he argues, will only make the discipline more lively and diverse. The book is divided into three main parts. In the first, Marcus shows how ethnographers' tradition of defining fieldwork in terms of peoples and places is now being challenged by the need to study culture by exploring connections, parallels, and contrasts among a variety of often seemingly incommensurate sites. The second part illustrates this emergent multi-sited condition of research by reflecting it in some of Marcus's own past research on Tongan elites and dynastic American fortunes. In the final section, which includes the previously unpublished essay "Sticking with Ethnography through Thick and Thin," Marcus examines the evolving professional culture of anthropology and the predicaments of its new scholars. He shows how students have increasingly been drawn to the field as much by such powerful interdisciplinary movements as feminism, postcolonial studies, and cultural studies as by anthropology's own traditions. He also considers the impact of demographic changes within the discipline--in particular the fact that anthropologists are no longer almost exclusively Euro-Americans studying non-Euro-Americans. These changes raise new issues about the identities of anthropologists in relation to those they study, and indeed, about what is to define standards of ethnographic scholarship. Filled with keen and highly illuminating observations, Ethnography through Thick and Thin will stimulate fresh debate about the past, present, and future of a discipline undergoing profound transformations.

Book excerpt: It’s hockey registration time for the upcoming Belton Junior High season, and gifted forward Gord Jason surprises his teammates and coaches when he doesn’t sign up. What made Gord decide to quit the sport he has been playing since he was eight years old? Some people are angry at his desertion, but others try to get him to come back to the ice. While everyone around him attempts to find out what made him walk away, the team is forced to begin conditioning and practicing without him, eventually playing games with the hopes of winning their first league championship. As the season progresses, will Gord come to regret giving up the game he has dedicated the last few years to? Set in the Prairies in the 1980s, On Thick and Thin Ice follows a group of twelve-to fourteen-year-old boys and their dedicated and passionate coach Ward Thomas through the ups and downs of being a team, demonstrating the importance of working together, camaraderie, and most of all, perseverance.
Book Synopsis Riding Through Thick and Thin by : Melinda Folse
Download or read book Riding Through Thick and Thin written by Melinda Folse and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many if not most women have been locked in a battle with their bodies for as long as they can remember. And when it comes to riding horses, they drag their arsenal of self-doubt with them every time they step into the saddle. Some quit riding completely. Others ride, but are frustrated by their lack of progress as riders or what they see as poor performance. They succumb to silent self-torment as they wonder how they look, what others think, and whether they have any business on the back of a horse if their jeans feel a little too tight. Regardless of seat size, riding discipline, or the degree — or even truth — of the body issues with which they struggle, the scars on female self-image in our society run deep and wide. So with the humor and big-sisterly swagger that readers and reviewers have come to love, Melinda Folse, author of bestseller The Smart Woman’s Guide to Midlife Horses, has decided to step in with a delightful, insightful, fulfilling new book. Riding Through Thick and Thin delves to the bottom of the issues that have long held women hostage, bringing together experts, research, resources, and stories to encourage, inspire, and empower. Readers will find some answers that may surprise them: Believe it or not, this is not about losing weight or getting fit (although if that’s a point of interest, there’s a section packed with helpful tools and ideas). This book is more about what’s going on in every woman’s mind — and it taps new findings in neuroscience to reveal that permanent change to deeply ingrained body image issues is not only possible, but it may be much easier than we think.
