Download or read book Eagle written by Janine Rogers and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A symbol of power, divinity, war, and justice, the eagle has been one of the most dominant birds in the human imagination for millennia. Exploring the rich history of this bird and its portrayal in art, film, literature, and poetry, this book examines how eagles became an emblematic creature that also embodies the paradoxes of our existence. Janine Rogers reveals that while humans associate eagles with light and learning, they also connect the birds to death and corruption. Eagles adorn flags, crests, and other emblems, but as she shows, they have also been relentlessly persecuted and perceived as predatory threats to livestock. While considering these contradictions, Rogers argues that eagles have suffered from the effects of human activities for years, from pesticide use to habitat destruction and global warming. She demonstrates the dangers of not saving eagles from destruction, as they are key to controlling pest populations and clearing carcasses. Featuring many illustrations of eagles in the wild, art, and popular culture, Eagle shines new light on our complex relationship with these birds, their international significance, and the dire implications of losing them to contemporary ecological threats.
Book Synopsis The Eagle's Throne by : Carlos Fuentes
Download or read book The Eagle's Throne written by Carlos Fuentes and published by Random House. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a true literary event–the long-awaited new novel by Carlos Fuentes, one of the world’s great writers. By turns a tragedy and a farce, an acidic black comedy and an indictment of modern politics, The Eagle’s Throne is a seriously entertaining and perceptive story of international intrigue, sexual deception, naked ambition, and treacherous betrayal. In the near future, at a meeting of the United Nations Security Council, Mexico’s idealistic president has dared to vote against the U.S. occupation of Colombia and Washington’s refusal to pay OPEC prices for oil. Retaliation is swift. Concocting a “glitch” in a Florida satellite, America’s president cuts Mexico’s communications systems–no phones, faxes, or e-mails–and plunges the country into an administrative nightmare of colossal proportions. Now, despite the motto that “a Mexican politician never puts anything in writing,” people have no choice but to communicate through letters, which Fuentes crafts with a keen understanding of man’s motives and desires. As the blizzard of activity grows more and more complex, political adversaries come out to prey. The ineffectual president, his scheming cabinet secretary, a thuggish and ruthless police chief, and an unscrupulous, sensual kingmaker are just a few of the fascinating characters maneuvering and jockeying for position to achieve the power they all so desperately crave.

Book Synopsis Red Eagle's Children by : J. Anthony Paredes
Download or read book Red Eagle's Children written by J. Anthony Paredes and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Red Eagle’s Children presents the legal proceedings in an inheritance dispute that serves as an unexpected window on the intersection of two cultural and legal systems: Creek Indian and Euro-American. Case 1299: Weatherford vs. Weatherford et al. appeared in the Chancery Court of Mobile in 1846 when William “Red Eagle” Weatherford’s son by the Indian woman Supalamy sued his half siblings fathered by Weatherford with two other Creek women, Polly Moniac and Mary Stiggins, for a greater share of Weatherford’s estate. While the court recognized William Jr. as the son of William Sr., he nevertheless lost his petition for inheritance due to the lack of legal evidence concerning the marriage of his biological mother to William Sr. The case, which went to the Alabama Supreme Court in 1851, provides a record of an attempt to interrelate and, perhaps, manipulate differences in cultures as they played out within the ritualized, arcane world of antebellum Alabama jurisprudence. Although the case has value in the classic mold of salvage ethnography of Creek Indian culture, Red Eagle’s Children, edited by J. Anthony Paredes and Judith Knight, shows that its more enduring value lies in being a source for historical ethnography—that is, for anthropological analyses of cultural dynamics of the past events that complement the narratives of professional historians.

From the invention of writing through the conquest of Alexander the Great, expert scholars examine literature originally written in Egyptian, Sumerian, Akkadian, Hittite, Ugaritic, Canaanite, Hebrew, and Aramaic.

Book excerpt: Lady Heather Drake is turning 18 and her long-awaited season is finally upon her. For as long as she can remember she has looked forward to her coming out where she can dance and flirt and smile her nights away. But a chance encounter with a handsome stranger on the streets of London scatters her thoughts to the wind along with her sheets of music and her life is turned upside-down when she realizes he may be no stranger to her after all. Philip Montcrieff, the new Earl of Theocsbury, spent the last nine years on a British frigate protecting his country while serving in His Majesty’s Navy. After a freak accident took the life of his brother and heir to the earldom, Philip had no choice but to sell his commission and return to England to assume a roll he neither wanted nor had any knowledge of. When Philip arrives at Theocsbury Hall he finds that nothing is as it seems due to years of mismanagement and embezzlement on the part of his brother and steward and he must quickly learn the duties of an Earl in order to rescue his failing estate and all those dependent on him. Struggling to distance himself from memories of his father’s drunken cruelty and striving to prove that he is nothing like his late father, Philip turns to his neighbor the Earl of Chedworth for advice and is thrilled to discover the Earl’s daughter is the stunning beauty he encountered in London. When Philip rescues Lady Heather from danger once again he knows only he can ensure her safety and to do this they must wed. But how can she ever forgive him for depriving her of her season, much less learn to love him as well....unless of course he pays the ultimate price of his life, for hers.
