Book Description
Peach State has its origins in Atlanta, Georgia, the author’s hometown and an emblematic city of the New South, a name that reflects the American region’s invigoration in recent decades by immigration and a spirit of reinvention. Focused mainly on food and cooking, these poems explore the city’s transformation from the mid-twentieth century to today, as seen and shaped by Chinese Americans. The poems are set in restaurants, home kitchens, grocery stores, and the houses of friends and neighbors. Often employing forms—sonnet, villanelle, sestina, palindrome, ghazal, rhymed stanzas—they also mirror the constant negotiation with tradition that marks both immigrant and Southern experience. Excerpt from “You’re from the South?” As if it had never joined the Union. As if we had to go through Customs when bringing Vidalia onions to uncles and cousins in the North, where Confucians and their brethren flock for education. As if our speech required translation or at least interpretation. As if Hartsfield-Jackson were a plantation, the Amtrak Crescent a moon over rows of cotton, and all of us a population that never saw snow or migration.

Book Description
Georgia is known as one of the most competitive proving grounds in America for high school football. The league that began as a few city teams in the late nineteenth century blossomed to the four hundred-plus schools that put teams on the field today. These teams have given college football and the professional ranks their share of champions. As schools across the state continue to chase--and break--records, a century of winning is only the beginning of Georgia's dynamic high school football legacy. Jon Nelson guides readers through an unparalleled history of coaches, towns and dynasties that have led Georgia to become one of the top five most competitive football states in the country.

Book Description
This is the ultimate guide book for trophy whitetail deer hunters in the state of Georgia. Pursuing a trophy buck is a heart-pounding thrill. Harvesting a mature whitetail is an accomplishment that most Georgia hunters never experience. The deer in the southeastern corner of the country are some of the most difficult to hunt because the animals here are smarter, more skittish, less forgiving, and harder to pattern than the ones typically seen on TV or read about in magazines. To be successful in the Georgia woods, a hunter must possess knowledge and discipline. This manual was created specifically for the Georgia hunter to gain both. Peach State Precision will guide you through the process to become an elite whitetail hunter in the Peach State. Whether you are a novice or veteran, a gun-hunter or bow-hunter, you will find invaluable instruction in this entertaining and easy read. There is no other item in the hunting store that will be more valuable than this comprehensive manual. Nathan Dallas, a lifelong outdoorsman with a passion for whitetail, will swiftly guide you through practical topics including: Elite mindset Proper planning Strategic travel Using trail cameras Reading signs Hunting clothing Scents and lures Calls Stand setup Wind strategy Understanding the rut Planting and feeding Herd management Common misconceptions Stalking and more
