Download or read book Person and Place written by Sabine Hess and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concerned with contemporary notions of personhood and the relationship between persons and places, this book, presents a detailed insight into the Vanua Lavan’s engagement with modernity, and examines how they relate to the past, make sense of the present and anticipate the future. Marilyn Strathern's claim that the Melanesian person is a dividual by and large holds for the Vanua Lavan person. But Vanua Lavans have also been exposed to, and creatively engaged with, what can be summarised under the term ‘Western individualism’. The author draws together several themes, discourses and conversations which concern Vanuatu specifically, the Pacific as a wider geographic area but also theoretical fields in anthropology: the relevance and expressions of sociality through kinship, concepts of person, issues about land and cosmology, the kastom debate, and questions about continuity and change. In doing so she provides a snapshot of contemporary notions of personhood.

Book excerpt: "National Jewish Book Award winner Ron Balson returns triumphantly with Eli’s Promise, a captivating saga of the Holocaust and its aftermath spanning decades and continents. Readers will not be able to put this book down, but will turn the pages compulsively with heart in throat, eager to learn the fate of the Rosen family. Balson’s meticulous historical detail, vivid prose and unforgettable characters further solidify his place among the most esteemed writers of historical fiction today." —Pam Jenoff, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Lost Girls of Paris A "fixer" in a Polish town during World War II, his betrayal of a Jewish family, and a search for justice 25 years later—by the winner of the National Jewish Book Award. Eli's Promise is a masterful work of historical fiction spanning three eras—Nazi-occupied Poland, the American Zone of post-war Germany, and Chicago at the height of the Vietnam War. Award-winning author Ronald H. Balson explores the human cost of war, the mixed blessings of survival, and the enduring strength of family bonds. 1939: Eli Rosen lives with his wife Esther and their young son in the Polish town of Lublin, where his family owns a construction company. As a consequence of the Nazi occupation, Eli’s company is Aryanized, appropriated and transferred to Maximilian Poleski—an unprincipled profiteer who peddles favors to Lublin’s subjugated residents. An uneasy alliance is formed; Poleski will keep the Rosen family safe if Eli will manage the business. Will Poleski honor his promise or will their relationship end in betrayal and tragedy? 1946: Eli resides with his son in a displaced persons camp in Allied-occupied Germany hoping for a visa to America. His wife has been missing since the war. One man is sneaking around the camps selling illegal visas; might he know what has happened to her? 1965: Eli rents a room in Albany Park, Chicago. He is on a mission. With patience, cunning, and relentless focus, he navigates unfamiliar streets and dangerous political backrooms, searching for the truth. Powerful and emotional, Ronald H. Balson's Eli's Promise is a rich, rewarding novel of World War II and a husband’s quest for justice.

Book excerpt: I told a judge I was engaged to my best friend. Now we’re faking it. How hard can it be? My life has room for exactly two women: my daughter Rusty and my best friend Charlotte — known to everyone as Charlie. One is a feisty, tomboyish firecracker. The other is my seven-year-old. I can’t imagine life without either. So when my ex springs a custody hearing on me, I find myself telling the judge that I’m engaged to Charlie. The only problem? I’m not. Time to fake an engagement. Pretending we’re a couple will be no big deal. We’ve been friends for years. We used to sneak cigarettes behind the bleachers. We turned cans of hairspray into flamethrowers. We got drunk on stolen malt liquor. She’s beautiful, vivacious, spontaneous, and she loves my daughter to death. It’s the perfect answer: we fake it for a few months, then go back to our lives. Until we touch, and sparks fly. Until I can’t take my eyes off her. Until I can’t stop thinking about what she’s got on under her coveralls. It takes one kiss. One touch. One shared secret and suddenly, I’m not pretending anymore. I want her, I need her in ways I didn’t know I could. But there’s a lifetime of friendship between us, and falling in love with Charlie could mean risking everything.

It's steamy, hilarious, and it's got an HEA. (And yes, it bangs.) This series is for fans of Karla Sorenson, Meghan Quinn, Melanie Harlow, Cate C Wells, and Pippa Grant.

Book excerpt: The Christopher Saga Continues This sequel to “Mark My Words” tells the story of Elijah Edwards, current patriarch of the Edwards branch of the Christopher family and first cousin to Allan Beckley Christopher. Eli bears the legacy of a wealthy, powerful African-American family with generations of old money. He has also inherited a “gift”—one that can bring happiness, joy, pain or tragedy randomly. From his power couple parents, Eli learned the values of family, service, commitment, integrity, work ethics and the responsibility that came with wealth. His is a family that sets standards rather than follows them, and the Edwards family has put their stamp prominently on the community. He knows well the family motto: “You never know what hand in life you’ll be dealt.” Will Eli’s “gift”, however, help him or hurt him when he needs it most? Through his wife of fifty-seven years, his sister, his children, nephews and niece, we will learn of the influence he and his “gift” have had on their lives. The time is 2007; the place, Minneapolis.

Meet interesting and historical characters such as General George Custer, Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, and others. It is an adventure in the real Wild West that just might leave you "hanging." History is defined as the study of or a record or story of past events considered together, especially events or developments of a particular period, country, or subject. Now how you obtain history is the tricky part. It can come from something tangible or intangible or from someone through written word or spoken word. You know that history can be passed on from one human being to another human being. You also know that to err is human, so how much of our history is truth and how much is fabricated? The truth should come out in the research done in that particular area of history, right? Well, this is a story based on the history of an area called the Black Hills of South Dakota, which happens to interject into the history of the United States, and it may even find that it could touch the history of your own family. It all depends on the research, doesn't it? Most of the story you are about to read is true, but along with most history comes the uncertain mysteries, mysteries that could be added to true history with the proper amount of research. I hope that by reading this book you will come away with a sense of satisfaction that all those years of history in school and your own experiences are finally paying off and you are realizing that the benefit of knowing history is what helps you understand our world. But if after you have finished this book you are still confused about the fact or fiction surrounding history, do the research; you may be surprised at what you will find. I know I was and still am!
