Author: Grayer Vaughan
Publisher: Vaughanland Ink
ISBN: 132097970X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Burning Blossom is the second book in The Vaughan Chronicles series. It chronicles the second of seven lives of Magnolia Vaughan. We meet up with Magnolia again as she and Alexander Charles are locked into the darkness, forcing Alexander to become fully awoken and fully aware during this life as Bessie tries to break the bond between them. Bessie continues to become darker as her envy and wickedness begins to take hold of her, warming her blood within the deep purple fire causing her to change into her true Onca state as she continues to visit the lowest paralleled realm of purgatory, where Alexander sent Bessie's sister, Karent, when she tried to kill Magnolia in an earlier lifecycle. As Magnolia continues to surface, Alexander will be forced to protect her against the madman feigning for her hypnotizing essence and star-shined blood and keep her alive long enough to live within the expected balance as she fights him the entire way at every turn. Magnolia will also be forced to come to grips with her destined path as she tries to let go of Justus as she saves his life, and the enticing secrets she has been keeping from a very suspicious Alexander as he tries to find out the truth about Stagger, which will make him become unhinged. Kerrigan, Magnolia’s assistant will become her closest confidant as she begins to realize exactly who she is working for. As the Blossom try to protect the Queen, Alexander will begin to pressure her to commit further than she is willing to allow. Will the blossomed pair have what it takes to toe the line or will this madman’s insanity succeed at finally getting even? Their future gets threatened as the force may just be too much for them to endure as the Blossom begins to beckon and burn brighter than anticipated.

The Art of Managing Longleaf
Author: Leon Neel
Publisher: University of Georgia Press
ISBN: 0820344133
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Greenwood Plantation in the Red Hills region of southwest Georgia includes a rare one-thousand-acre stand of old-growth longleaf pine woodlands, a remnant of an ecosystem that once covered close to ninety million acres across the Southeast. The Art of Managing Longleaf documents the sometimes controversial management system that not only has protected Greenwood's “Big Woods” but also has been practiced on a substantial acreage of the remnant longleaf pine woodlands in the Red Hills and other parts of the Coastal Plain. Often described as an art informed by science, the Stoddard-Neel Approach combines frequent prescribed burning, highly selective logging, a commitment to a particular woodland aesthetic, intimate knowledge of the ecosystem and its processes, and other strategies to manage the longleaf pine ecosystem in a sustainable way. The namesakes of this method are Herbert Stoddard (who developed it) and his colleague and successor, Leon Neel (who has refined it). In addition to presenting a detailed, illustrated outline of the Stoddard-Neel Approach, the book—based on an extensive oral history project undertaken by Paul S. Sutter and Albert G. Way, with Neel as its major subject—discusses Neel's deep familial and cultural roots in the Red Hills; his years of work with Stoddard; and the formation and early years of the Tall Timbers Research Station, which Stoddard and Neel helped found in the pinelands near Tallahassee, Florida, in 1958. In their introduction, environmental historians Sutter and Way provide an overview of the longleaf ecosystem's natural and human history, and in his afterword, forest ecologist Jerry F. Franklin affirms the value of the Stoddard-Neel Approach.

Aiiieeeee!
Author: Frank Chin
Publisher: University of Washington Press
ISBN: 0295746491
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
In the eyes of mid-twentieth-century white America, “Aiiieeeee!” was the one-dimensional cry from Asian Americans, their singular expression of all emotions—it signified and perpetuated the idea of Asian Americans as inscrutable, foreign, self-hating, undesirable, and obedient. In this anthology first published in 1974, Frank Chin, Jeffery Chan, Lawson Inada, and Shawn Wong reclaimed that shout, outlining the history of Asian American literature and boldly drawing the boundaries for what was truly Asian American and what was white puppetry. Showcasing fourteen uncompromising works from authors such as Carlos Bulosan and John Okada, the editors introduced readers to a variety of daring voices. Forty-five years later the radical collection continues to spark controversy. While in the seventies it helped establish Asian American literature as a serious and distinct literary tradition, today the editors’ forceful voices reverberate in contemporary discussions about American literary traditions. Now back in print with a new foreword by literary scholar Tara Fickle, this third edition reminds us how Asian Americans fought for—and seized—their place in the American literary canon.
