Download or read book The Jaguar written by T. Jefferson Parker and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of Michael Connelly and CJ Box, the fifth audacious and white-hot novel in the Charlie Hood series from New York Times bestseller and Edgar-award winner T. Jefferson Parker redefines the landscape of the thriller and shatters every expectation you ever had about the good guys and the bad. Now featuring an excerpt from his upcoming novel The Room of White Fire. When Benjamin Armenta, leader of the powerful Gulf Cartel, kidnaps songwriter Erin McKenna, his demands are as unique as the jungle fortress in which Erin is imprisoned. She’s ordered to compose a narcocorrido, a folk ballad that will romanticize Armenta as one of the greatest desperadoes in Mexican history. Allowed to wander the hallways of the castle with only a guitar and a mysterious old priest to keep her company, Erin must produce the loveliest song these men have ever heard. Or she’ll be skinned alive. As Erin’s music wafts through the jungle, it serves as a siren call to the two men who love her: lawman Charlie Hood and Erin’s outlaw husband, Bradley Jones. They have the power to rescue her, but their long-simmering rivalry could very well compromise Erin’s deliverance and cause the ending of a life-and-death ballad to be rewritten in blood.
Download or read book Jags to Riches written by John Oehser and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jags to Riches is the ultimate fan book chronicling the Jacksonville Jaguars' improbable run to the AFC Championship Game and within one game of going to the Super Bowl. In Jags to Riches Prisco and Oehser of the Florida Times Union cover the wildly successful 1996 season of Jacksonville's pro football team, a surprising development because the Jaguars were in only their second year and had compiled a dismal 4-12 record in their first. An expansion team in a city that had sought a pro grid franchise since 1979, its concentration had been on signing young athletes, with the expectation that they would be ready to make a major move in three years. And, although coach and general manager Tom Coughlin had gotten off to a bad start with the team members, he was an important contributor because he judged players solely on their ability and drive and not on their press clippings, according to the authors. In his first year, Coughlin's coaching reflected more of his college than his pro background: gradually he relaxed many of his rules, and the team was better for it. Most amazing was the record, since, after 11 games, it stood at 4-7; then came five straight wins in the regular season and play-off victories against highly favored Buffalo and Denver.

Book Synopsis Telling Maya Tales by : Gary H. Gossen
Download or read book Telling Maya Tales written by Gary H. Gossen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-02 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Telling Maya Tales offers an experimental ethnographic portrait of the San Juan Chamula, the largest and most influential Maya community of Highland Chiapas, in the late twentieth century--the era of the Zapatistas. In this collection of essays, the author, whose field work in the area spans two generations of anthropological thought, explores several expressions of Tzotzil ethnic affirmation, ranging from oral narrative to ritual drama and political action. His work covers the current era, when the Chamula Tzotzils mingle chaotically and sometimes violently with the social and political space of modern Mexico--most recently, in the context of the Maya Zapatista movement of 1994.
Download or read book Jaguar written by Christopher Hedlund and published by Chris Hedlund. This book was released on 2015-02-13 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two top of the line modern warriors, both orphaned in childhood, hunt one another throughout the cities and jungles of Latin America. As their hunt progresses, both discover they have been lured into this contest by Jaguar, a great spiritual power of the Amazon. Their hunt for one another turns into an otherworldly spiritual ordeal orchestrated by magical powers of the Amazon, an ordeal in which the former methods and rules by which they have fought and survived as modern day warriors are useless. Both men are motivated by deep, unshakable love. John Ashbrook, ex Navy SEAL turned deep cover spy, is hunting for his missing mentor and best bud, Ronnie Bates. Bates is the only close tie Ashbrook has let in since his family died when he was a young boy. As Ashbrook tries to pick up Bates’ trail, Bates begins appearing in Ashbrook’s dreams, dropping clues that actually work in the real world. Bates’ clues lead Ashbrook to Rafael Sanchez. Cast adrift on the harsh streets of Caracas Venezuela by the death of his parents at age 11, Rafael became a thief to provide for his 6 year old sister Maria. With his exceptional skills, athletic prowess and fierce courage Rafael rapidly shot up the ranks of the cartels, eventually becoming Pablo Escobar’s top gun and right hand man. But Rafael now wants to break free from the darkness of his past life to find a new, decent life with Isabel Londono, a woman he loves passionately. Isabel believes Rafael is a successful businessman and knows nothing of Rafael’s dark side, but begins to suspect that he may have one. Their relationship is threatened and pushed into crisis as she presses Rafael to confide in her, but Rafael resists as he knows there are powerful men that would kill her or worse to find him. Jaguar’s power is irresistible as he draws the men into the battle of their lives, facing their ultimate match as warriors in each other. From its beginning to the end this hunt is a high tension guessing game for both men as nobody, not even the highly accomplished native seers the men consult, can fathom what Jaguar’s ultimate design is. In a bizarre turn of events, Isabel unwittingly does the one thing that radically alters the fate of both men, proving that even in the great warrior Jaguar’s world love and its power of redemption are formidable forces to be reckoned with. But even with that, the men’s fierce battle will take them on an unforgettable journey into the realm of death. It is only here that Jaguar’s final test will take place and his ultimate design will be revealed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever dreamed about owning your own business? Maybe becoming a market disruptor? Would you know where to start? Do you have a coach, a mentor, or a teacher who can show you how? Well, now you do. If we are lucky, we have been taught to dream since the time we were very young. If we are luckier still, we have also been taught to establish a sturdy foundation for those dreams to stand upon. When building the business you’ve always dreamed of, you must first establish a rock-solid foundation, something I’ve learned from many years of experience as a Rugged Entrepreneur. What is a “Rugged Entrepreneur”? It’s what I call a special breed of entrepreneur. Ruggeds make the leap toward success in a way that separates them from the millions who fall short because they invest the time and effort to develop and hone the specific set of powerful skills you’ll discover in these pages. I’ve identified four elements to becoming a Rugged Entrepreneur. These elements can be developed by anyone and are helpful to every type of entrepreneur. But all four of them are necessary to do the job well. The Four Foundational Elements of being a Rugged Entrepreneur are: A fervent work ethic A humble and healthy pride (what I call “Rugged Pride”) Fortitudo mentis (aka, mental toughness) Faith The Rugged Entrepreneur provides a roadmap to your journey of lasting self-discovery. It’s about identifying and acquiring the skills to achieve sustained success and to build on top of that success. It’s about passionately pursuing a productive business life for yourself and your family using the economic engines accessible to us all. But be warned: do not read this book if you do not want to be challenged.
Book Synopsis An Indomitable Beast by : Alan Rabinowitz
Download or read book An Indomitable Beast written by Alan Rabinowitz and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The jaguar is one of the most mysterious and least-known big cats of the world. The largest cat in the Americas, it has survived an onslaught of environmental and human threats partly because of an evolutionary history unique among wild felines, but also because of a power and indomitable spirit so strong, the jaguar has shaped indigenous cultures and the beliefs of early civilizations on two continents. In An Indomitable Beast: The Remarkable Journey of the Jaguar, big-cat expert Alan Rabinowitz shares his own personal journey to conserve a species that, despite its past resilience, is now on a slide toward extinction if something is not done to preserve the pathways it prowls through an ever-changing, ever-shifting landscape dominated by humans. Rabinowitz reveals how he learned from newly available genetic data that the jaguar was a single species connected genetically throughout its entire range from Mexico to Argentina, making it unique among all other large carnivores in the world. In a mix of personal discovery and scientific inquiry, he sweeps his readers deep into the realm of the jaguar, offering fascinating accounts from the field. Enhanced with maps, tables, and color plates, An Indomitable Beast brings important new research to life for scientists, anthropologists, and animal lovers alike. This book is not only about jaguars, but also about tenacity and survival. From the jaguar we can learn better strategies for saving other species and also how to save ourselves when faced with immediate and long-term catastrophic changes to our environment.

Book Synopsis The Jaguar's Heart by : The Jaguar's Heart
Download or read book The Jaguar's Heart written by The Jaguar's Heart and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-06-05 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a true story, The Jaguar's Heart brings to life the first encounter of Maya and European in the 16th century. It tells the story of Gonzalo Guerrero, a Spanish sailor shipwrecked on the coast of Yucatan in 1511, between Columbus' discovery of the Americas and Cortez' conquest of Mexico. Maya lords enslave Guerrero and his fellow castaways, but he eventually gains his freedom. Encountering Ix Chan Can, the beautiful younger sister of the Maya lord Nachan Can, Guerrero chooses to remain among her people and win her love. Guerrero earns renown in a war against Nachan Can's enemies, and finally Ix Chan Can's hand. After they have two children, the only other still-living castaway, the clergyman Jeronimo de Aguilar, brings word of Cortez' landing. Guerrero refuses to rejoin his countrymen, cleaving to his family. But with Aguilar as interpreter, Cortez conquers the Aztecs, and the Spaniards inevitably return to impose their rule and religion on the Maya. Nachan Can now demands that Guerrero fight, and at last accepting that he must do so to protect his family, Guerrero tragically stakes his life for his adoptive people against ever-mounting odds. The Jaguar's Heart reveals the struggle of a man caught between cultures and conflicting loyalties at a pivotal moment in the history of the Americas. It is a book with the captivating setting of Gary Jennings' Aztec and its sequels, yet which reveals the humanity of both Spaniard and Indian, and with the compelling theme of W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear's Contact: The Battle for America series.
Book Synopsis Searching for the Jaguar by : Carlota Lindsay
Download or read book Searching for the Jaguar written by Carlota Lindsay and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-12-10 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Searching for the Jaguar. This romantic thriller is set against the background of the lush Amazonian jungle and the violent streets of a North American city. A young American couple seek adventure and fulfillment in Brazils exotic mixture of peoples and religions. The characters are protagonists in a mural of interrelated events that cross social, economic, and national boundaries. The reality within which the events occur overwhelms the individual characters and takes away their ability to comprehend their destinies. Five lives intertwine in a game of life and death: Hank, the idealist caught in a web of intrigue, power and cocaine trafficking; Deb, the dedicated nurse who discovers real love in a foreboding setting; Steve, the serious lawyer struggling with his emotional conflict between duty and passion; Darryl, the ex-con misfit prone to explode in a blasphemous rage of jealousy and resentment; Scott, the young invalid who suddenly comes of age when murder and violence shatters the security of his life. Each one of them, driven by inner passions, brings mystery and depth to a story that connects the reader to a world of rich lyrical and philosophical implications. The story-related by Scott-sets out to reconstruct the lives of the protagonists with whatever information he can collect from diaries, letters, interviews, personal observation, and even his own imagination. He senses only dimly the multiple forces at play which are presented with an underlying surrealistic humor that gives the narrative shape and depth. He fits together the many puzzling pieces-which he can neither explain nor justify-and in the process begins to set his own life in order. Like the phoenix that rises from its ashes, Scott transcends his suffering and creates a new dimension of living as he recreates the old. A surreal humor underlies this compelling story about love, transformation, death, and survival. Superbly crafted, lyrically written. LETTER TO THE READER OF SEARCHING FOR THE JAGUAR BY CARLOTA LINDSAY You may have noticed that part of my dedication is addressed to you, the reader, and to your imagination and sense of humor. This is because a novel is fiction and becomes real only through the active participation of your creative self. It is in this way that you are as much the author of Searching for the Jaguar as I am. This is where a novel differs from a movie. In the latter the viewer receives lots of information visually without much participatory effort. In the modern novel the reader has to reconstitute the whole from information about its parts. This activity is closer to the one we perform in real life in order to understand ourselves and what our true role is. I want to mention also that a novel takes place in a time and space that for a few hours becomes your own and where the characters reveal themselves and unveil their unique function in the dimension of the novel that you help create. How much you learn about them or understand them is up to you. What about the characters? They are not presented but rather present themselves by what they say, what they do, and how they regard, and are regarded by, each other; that is, they are discovered existentially. The reader learns about them gradually: much as it is in real life the original perception is constantly evolving. By observing the characters actions and hearing their words, the reader ends up with more insight into their situation than the characters themselves do. The characters are searching not only within the dimension of the novel but beyond it in the imagination of the reader. In a sense, they escape the novel and walk into the readers consciousness, where they help him probe his own self. They have already escaped into mine, where they are searching for a continuity I did not know was there. In that sense they are searching, like Pirandellos characters, for an author. From the beginning the
