Book excerpt: Good Friday morning, 1967. A jeweler is murdered, his wife raped. The accused is Thomas James White Hawk, an indigenous person and former athlete at a military academy in Minnesota.White Hawk tells the unforgettable true story of murder in the Midwest and the trial that ignited social, ethical, and political debate across America. Told from the perspective of student-journalist Craig Peters, this new American courtroom drama blends fact with literary fiction about indigenous history to weave a complex tapestry of Tom White Hawk's life, depicting his impoverished upbringing on a South Dakota Indian reservation, his success at college, his romantic relationship, his murder conviction, and his death sentence.Each page of author Greg Redlin's daring book digs deeply into still-relevant sociopolitical issues facing America today, such as the shameful treatment of indigenous people, minority injustice in the court system, and sexual abuse by authorities. And behind it all, Redlin encourages the question: Is the death sentence wrong?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unifying theme in the life of Guru Gobind Singh was confrontation with the Mughals, which culminated in a struggle for political power. This fact is brought into sharp focus when we consider the Guru’s life and legacy simultaneously in the contexts of the Mughal Empire, its feudatory states in the hills, and the Sikh movement. The creation of the Khalsa in 1699 as a political community with the aspiration to rule made conciliation or compromise with the Mughal state almost impossible. Their long struggle ended eventually in the declaration of Khalsa Raj in 1765. Using contemporary and near contemporary sources in Gurmukhi, Persian, and English, J.S. Grewal presents a comprehensive study of this era of Sikh history. The volume elaborates on the life and legacy of Guru Gobind Singh and explores the ideological background of the institution of the Khalsa and its larger political context. Grewal, however, emphasizes that the legacy of the Khalsa was also social and cultural. This authoritative volume on the tenth Guru is a significant addition to the field of Sikh studies.

Book excerpt: Anyone who's tuned in to a White Sox game during the past four decades has heard his calls and catchphrases: "Mercy " "Rack 'em up " "He gone " Ken Harrelson is a man who knows how to talk and is brimming with stories, but even the most dedicated fans haven't heard them all; many of "Hawk's" most memorable tales are simply not suitable for television broadcasts. Now, in his memoir, Harrelson opens up on a wide variety of topics, from his volatile childhood, to life in the major leagues, to stints as a professional golfer and MLB general manager, and of course his storied years in the broadcast booth. He minces no words when reflecting on brawls, blowups, and encounters with figures ranging from Mickey Mantle and Arnold Palmer to Frank Sinatra and Bobby Kennedy. Packed with the enthusiasm and candor audiences have come to expect, Hawk is a no-holds-barred look at a singular life and career.

Book excerpt: First published in 1952, this book by acclaimed author Leslie Turner White is set in seventeenth-century Scotland when Cromwell tries to win over the Highlands to the Parliamentary cause. From his first battle, Davy Dugald was a marked man. Masquerading in the royal kilts of his dead master he saved the day for the soldiers of Oliver Cromwell. But Davy knew that the secret of his lowly birth and his assumed title of Ian, Lord of Lochbogie, would someday be discovered. He also dreaded the time when his fierce clansmen learned that Davy himself had killed their lord, his master. That time drew closer when Davy was sent on a secret mission into the wild mountains of Scotland. There he had to face a lifelong and deadly enemy. But there also he found the passionate woman who shared his secret... Here is a story of wenching and fighting, adventures and romance. It tells of a lovable rogue who rose from stable boy to colonel, and how his flashing sword and notorious loves made him the toast of the wild Scotch Highlands!

Book excerpt: DANICA SHARDAE IS an avian shapeshifter, and the golden hawk’s form in which she takes to the sky is as natural to her as the human one that graces her on land. The only thing more familiar to her is war: It has raged between her people and the serpiente for so long, no one can remember how the fighting began. As heir to the avian throne, she’ll do anything in her power to stop this war—even accept Zane Cobriana, the terrifying leader of her kind’s greatest enemy, as her pair bond and make the two royal families one. Trust. It is all Zane asks of Danica—and all they ask of their people—but it may be more than she can give.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identifying hawks in flight is a tricky business. Across North America, tens of thousands of people gather every spring and fall at more than one thousand known hawk migration sites--from New Jersey's Cape May to California's Golden Gate. Yet, as many discover, a standard field guide, with its emphasis on plumage, is often of little help in identifying those raptors soaring, gliding, or flapping far, far away. Hawks from Every Angle takes hawk identification to new heights. It offers a fresh approach that literally looks at the birds from every angle, compares and contrasts deceptively similar species, and provides the pictures (and words) needed for identification in the field. Jerry Liguori pinpoints innovative, field-tested identification traits for each species from the various angles that they are seen. Featuring 339 striking color photos on 68 color plates and 32 black & white photos, Hawks from Every Angle is unique in presenting a host of meticulously crafted pictures for each of the 19 species it covers in detail--the species most common to migration sites throughout the United States and Canada. All aspects of raptor identification are discussed, including plumage, shape, and flight style traits. For all birders who follow hawk migration and have found themselves wondering if the raptor in the sky matches the one in the guide, Hawks from Every Angle--distilling an expert's years of experience for the first time into a comprehensive array of truly useful photos and other pointers for each species--is quite simply a must. Key Features? The essential new approach to identifying hawks in flight Innovative, accurate, and field-tested identification traits for each species 339 color photos on 68 color plates, 32 black & white photos Compares and contrasts species easily confused with one another, and provides the pictures (and words) needed for identification in the field Covers in detail 19 species common to migration sites throughout the North America Discusses light conditions, how molt can alter the shape of a bird, aberrant plumages, and migration seasons and sites User-friendly format

Book excerpt: There's a hawk in the city! New York City is known for its sky-scrapers, subways, and hustle and bustle -- not for its wildlife. So everyone is surprised when a red-tailed hawk is spotted flying over Fifth Avenue, and even more surprised when he decides to settle down on the ledge of one of the Big Apple's swankiest apartment buildings. The hawk soon draws many admirers. They name him Pale Male and watch as he builds his nest, finds a mate, and teaches his little hawk babies to fly. Based on the true story of Pale Male, City Hawk brings New York City's favorite hawk to life in a story of family, perseverance, and big-city living.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, surprisingly little has been known about the biology and behavior of tropical forest raptors, including such basic aspects as diets, breeding biology, habitat requirements, and population ecology, information critical to the development of conservation efforts. The Peregrine Fund conducted a significant eight-year-long research program on the raptor species, including owls, in Tikal National Park in Guatemala to learn more about Neotropical birds of prey. Impressive and unprecedented in scale, this pioneering research also involved the development of new methods for detecting, enumerating, and studying these magnificent but often elusive birds in their forest home. Beautifully illustrated with photographs of previously little-known species, the resulting book is the most important single source for information on the lowland tropical forest raptor species found in Central America. Neotropical Birds of Prey covers twenty specific species in depth, including the Ornate Hawk-Eagle, the Barred Forest-Falcon, the Bat Falcon, and the Mexican Wood Owl, offering thorough synopses of all current knowledge regarding breeding biology and behavior, diet, habitat use, and spatial needs. Contributors to this landmark work also show how the populations fit together as a community with overlapping habitat and prey needs that can put them in competition with reptiles and mammalian carnivores as well, yet differ from one another in their nesting or feeding behaviors and population dynamics. The work's substantive original data offer interesting comparisons between tropical and temperate zone species, and provide a basis for establishing conservation measures based on firsthand research. Making available for the first time new data on the biology, ecology, behavior, and conservation of the majestic owls and raptors of the New World tropics, this book will appeal to a wide ornithological readership, especially the many raptor enthusiasts around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we make sense of violence in the Bible? Joshua commands the people of Israel to wipe out everyone in the promised land of Canaan, while Jesus commands God’s people to love their enemies. How are we to interpret biblical passages on violence when it is sanctioned at one point and condemned at another? The Violence of the Biblical God by L. Daniel Hawk presents a new framework, solidly rooted in the authority of Scripture, for understanding the paradox of God’s participation in violence. Hawk shows how the historical narrative of the Bible offers multiple canonical pictures for faithful Christian engagement with the violent systems of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gerald Vizenor és l'autor indi nord-americà més important d'aquests moments i el que més obres ha publicat. Poeta, assagista, novel·lista, periodista, professor, activista compromés i crític aferrissat de la política racial discriminatòria nord-americana, ha dedicat i continua dedicant la seua vida a estudiar, explorar i redefinir la història passada i present dels nadius nord-americans en la que una vegada fou la seua terra. Autor prolífic 'amb més de trenta títols publicats' i extraordinàriament innovador, ha rebut nombrosos premis i reconeixements. El tret que distingeix la seua producció literària és la unicitat de temes i motius que la recorren amb un estil profundament personal que fon prosa, poesia i assaig sota un denominador comú: el d'un llenguatge on les fronteres entre gèneres desapareixen i donen pas a una literatura única que ben bé es podria encunyar com a vizenoriana. Literary Chance: Essays on Native American Survivance recull quinze assajos en els quals l'autor aprofundeix en com el llenguatge ha creat la imatge del que és l'indi nord-americà; un simulacre que Vizenor tracta de desfer amb un nou vocabulari que pose de manifest aquesta invenció i representació des de la simulació.
