Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Makahs, a tribal nation at the most northwestern point of the contiguous United States, a deep relationship with the sea is the locus of personal and group identity. Unlike most other indigenous tribes whose lives are tied to lands, the Makah people have long placed marine space at the center of their culture, finding in their own waters the physical and spiritual resources to support themselves. This book is the first to explore the history and identity of the Makahs from the arrival of maritime fur-traders in the eighteenth century through the intervening centuries and to the present day. Joshua L. Reid discovers that the “People of the Cape” were far more involved in shaping the maritime economy of the Pacific Northwest than has been understood. He examines Makah attitudes toward borders and boundaries, their efforts to exercise control over their waters and resources as Europeans and Americans arrived, and their embrace of modern opportunities and technology to maintain autonomy and resist assimilation. The author also addresses current environmental debates relating to the tribe's customary whaling and fishing rights and illuminates the efforts of the Makahs to regain control over marine space, preserve their marine-oriented identity, and articulate a traditional future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whispers of the Soul, Time, and Nature is a poignant collection of poems that explores the intricate dance between human emotions, nature's wonders, and the passage of time. Each poem in this anthology delves into themes such as the enduring power of love, the bittersweet nature of memories, the complex relationship between humans and the environment, and the introspective journey of life. The poems are varied in their settings and perspectives, ranging from the lament of an ancient oak witnessing the changes of time, to the hopeful unity of humans with the earth in "Embrace of Unity". "The Bounty of the Earth" celebrates the nurturing power of soil, while "Echoes of the Empty Road" paints a melancholic picture of a once-vibrant road now abandoned. The book blends the beauty of nature with human experiences, offering a rich tapestry of imagery and emotion.

Book excerpt: “I’m reading this book right now and loving it!”—Cheryl Strayed, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wild How can a mother and daughter who love (but don’t always like) each other coexist without driving each other crazy? “Vibrating with emotion, this deeply honest account strikes a chord.”—People “A wry and moving meditation on aging and the different kinds of love between women.”—O: The Oprah Magazine After surviving a traumatic childhood in nineteen-seventies New York and young adulthood living in the shadow of her flamboyant mother, Rita, a makeup-addicted former television singer, Elissa Altman has managed to build a very different life, settling in Connecticut with her wife of nearly twenty years. After much time, therapy, and wine, Elissa is at last in a healthy place, still orbiting around her mother but keeping far enough away to preserve the stable, independent world she has built as a writer and editor. Then Elissa is confronted with the unthinkable: Rita, whose days are spent as a flâneur, traversing Manhattan from the Clinique counters at Bergdorf to Bloomingdale’s and back again, suffers an incapacitating fall, leaving her completely dependent upon her daughter. Now Elissa is forced to finally confront their profound differences, Rita’s yearning for beauty and glamour, her view of the world through her days in the spotlight, and the money that has mysteriously disappeared in the name of preserving youth. To sustain their fragile mother-daughter bond, Elissa must navigate the turbulent waters of their shared lives, the practical challenges of caregiving for someone who refuses to accept it, the tentacles of narcissism, and the mutual, frenetic obsession that has defined their relationship. Motherland is a story that touches every home and every life, mapping the ferocity of maternal love, moral obligation, the choices women make about motherhood, and the possibility of healing. Filled with tenderness, wry irreverence, and unforgettable characters, it is an exploration of what it means to escape from the shackles of the past only to have to face them all over again. Praise for Motherland “Rarely has a mother-daughter relationship been excavated with such honesty. Elissa Altman is a beautiful, big-hearted writer who mines her most central subject: her gorgeous, tempestuous, difficult mother, and the terrain of their shared life. The result is a testament to the power of love and family.”—Dani Shapiro, author of Inheritance

Book excerpt: With An Agony of Hope, Ananta Dave makes a haunting debut into the world of poetry. Ranging from ref lections on her experiences as a doctor to deeply personal musings on identity, belonging, grief and loss, this collection is hard-hitting and heart-wrenching in equal measure. The poems take you through the undulations of love and hope, expressed eloquently and unf linchingly. From the raw horror of ‘Waiting’ to emergence from the shadows in ‘The Shape of Grief ’. From the gently excoriating satire of ‘Peasouper’ to the open exploration of dual identity in ‘An Inescapable Rightness of Being’. Whether it is the crack of a gunshot or the melody of birdsong, the fading colours of autumn or the blossoming of spring, you can hear and see the serenity and tumult, the vulnerability and strength leap from the pages. This collection is sure to strike a deep chord in people from all backgrounds across the world, inviting you to dive in and immerse yourself in this exquisite journey through the range of human experience.
