Book Description
The second in a two-volume series, Moquis and Kastiilam, Volume II, 1680–1781 continues the story of the encounter between the Hopis, who the Spaniards called Moquis, and the Spaniards, who the Hopis called Kastiilam, from the Pueblo Revolt in 1680 through the Spanish expeditions in search of a land route to Alta California until about 1781. By comparing and contrasting Spanish documents with Hopi oral traditions, the editors present a balanced presentation of a shared past. Translations of sixteenth-, seventeenth-, and eighteenth-century documents written by Spanish explorers, colonial officials, and Franciscan missionaries tell the perspectives of the European visitors, and oral traditions recounted by Hopi elders reveal the Indigenous experience. The editors argue that only the Hopi perspective can balance the story recounted in the Spanish documentary record, which is biased, distorted, and incomplete (as is the documentary record of any European or Euro-American colonial power). The only hope of correcting those weaknesses and the enormous silences about the Hopi responses to Spanish missionization and colonization is to record and analyze Hopi oral traditions, which have been passed down from generation to generation since 1540, and to give voice to Hopi values and social memories of what was a traumatic period in their past. Volume I documented Spanish abuses during missionization, which the editors address specifically and directly as the sexual exploitation of Hopi women, suppression of Hopi ceremonies, and forced labor of Hopi men and women. These abuses drove Hopis to the breaking point, inspiring a Hopi revitalization that led them to participate in the Pueblo Revolt and to rebuff all subsequent efforts to reestablish Franciscan missions and Spanish control. Volume II portrays the Hopi struggle to remain independent at its most effective—a mixture of diplomacy, negotiation, evasion, and armed resistance. Nonetheless, the abuses of Franciscan missionaries, the bloodshed of the Pueblo Revolt, and the subsequent destruction of the Hopi community of Awat’ovi on Antelope Mesa remain historical traumas that still wound Hopi society today.

Book Description
Canonical but controversial works of radical modernism, John Dos Passos' novels continue to intrigue readers and challenge literary critics with their unique styles and provocative messages. This book offers an insightful and refreshing perspective on his fictional world, exploring the historical vision and utopian aspirations of his early novels in light of their dialectical politics in narrating modern American society. History and Utopian Disillusion convincingly shows that Dos Passos' epic-scale project is a radical hymn of faith dialectically inspiring the utopian resolution of American history by presenting entropic despair and disillusionment.

Book Description
Oftentimes the most painful experiences are the ones in which we learn the most about ourselves. Linda Onita Hardin-Atkins's personal journal chronicles her life: from the tender age of eleven, through the devastating pain of losing her father, and to the present-day awareness of the true essence of who she is. Hardin-Atkins discovered at a very young age that life was a vast greatness of unexplored questions. This discovery was the true beginning of spiritual awareness - a constant subtleness of something else - something more. Her journey took flight when she reached her mid-thirties and suffered what she describes as unbearable mental pain and anguish after the death of her beloved father. Searching for meaning, she studied philosophy, religion and meditation. After an intensely draining, yet amazingly clarifying meditation, a voice spoke to her, Write an autobiography about your life experiences over the last 28 years. As her deeply buried emotions emerged, Hardin-Atkins was finally able to let go of the limbo that bound her. Surrendering, she found the missing link that she so desperately needed to move forward and embrace the beauty of life, love and joy. Thoughts Are Things With Sterling Wings is a compelling, compassionate and beautiful rendering of a woman's spiritual journey. Astounding in its insights, this narrative is for anyone who wishes to discover the freedom of letting go and letting God in. Linda Onita Hardin-Atkins is a writer who lives near San Pablo, California. Publisher's website: http: //www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/ThoughtsAreThingsWithSterlingWings.htm

Book Description
The story of physicists' quest to answer a mind-boggling question: How can we travel through time? Since H. G. Wells' 1895 classic The Time Machine, readers of science fiction have puzzled over the paradoxes of time travel. What would happen if a time traveler tried to change history? Would some force or law of nature prevent him? Or would his action produce a "new" history, branching away from the original?In the last decade of the twentieth century a group of theoretical physicists at the California Institute of Technology undertook a serious investigation of the possibility of pastward time travel, inspiring a serious and sustained study that engaged more than thirty physicists working at universities and institutes around the world.Many of the figures involved are familiar: Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne; others are names known mostly to physicists. These are the new time travelers, and this is the story of their work--a profoundly human endeavor marked by advances, retreats, and no small share of surprises. It is a fantastic journey to the frontiers of physics. Some images in the ebook are not displayed owing to permissions issues.
