Book Description
The story traces the lives of Buck and Jed, two orphans, one born and raised white, the other white and black and raised red. It is the story of how each molded their gifts of nature and nurture, to determine much of their character, their personality, their view of others, and of life. Their lives demonstrate how ancestors recent and remote, the religions of their youth, life experiences, and the mentors each encountered, helped to shape them. William Evans Buck's past allowed him the flexibility to change, the ability to import the best of his life experiences to mollify some of his genetic inheritance while reinforcing, even amplifying, the stronger traits. Jed, on the other hand, remained locked in unyielding adherence to past experience and unalterable inherited patterns of thought. Though set in the 1890's, involves Indians, and the white pioneers of the old west, the issues of greed, extortion, fraud and deception, mayhem, murder, courage and compassion have a universal and timeless flavor. The story follows the ascent of one, and the eventual life of hardship and isolation from friends, family, and all he once presumed was his, for the other.

The Summits of Modern Man
Author: Peter H. Hansen
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674074556
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
The history of mountaineering has long served as a metaphor for civilization triumphant. Once upon a time, the Alps were an inaccessible habitat of specters and dragons, until heroic men—pioneers of enlightenment—scaled their summits, classified their strata and flora, and banished the phantoms forever. A fascinating interdisciplinary study of the first ascents of the major Alpine peaks and Mount Everest, The Summits of Modern Man surveys the far-ranging significance of our encounters with the world’s most alluring and forbidding heights. Our obsession with “who got to the top first” may have begun in 1786, the year Jacques Balmat and Michel-Gabriel Paccard climbed Mont Blanc and inaugurated an era in which Romantic notions of the sublime spurred climbers’ aspirations. In the following decades, climbing lost its revolutionary cachet as it became associated instead with bourgeois outdoor leisure. Still, the mythic stories of mountaineers, threaded through with themes of imperialism, masculinity, and ascendant Western science and culture, seized the imagination of artists and historians well into the twentieth century, providing grist for stage shows, poetry, films, and landscape paintings. Today, we live on the threshold of a hot planet, where melting glaciers and rising sea levels create ambivalence about the conquest of nature. Long after Hillary and Tenzing’s ascent of Everest, though, the image of modern man supreme on the mountaintop retains its currency. Peter Hansen’s exploration of these persistent images indicates how difficult it is to imagine our relationship with nature in terms other than domination.

ISBN: 9781557836823
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
(Playbill Broadway Yearbook). Many of the people who work on Broadway keep scrapbooks of their experiences: photos, signed posters, ticket stubs, and, of course the Playbills. Playbill Books, a division of the iconic 111-year-old company that designs the programs for every show on Broadway, has expanded this idea into a new project that it hopes will become a Broadway institution: The Playbill Broadway Yearbook . It takes the form of a high school or college yearbook, packed with photos and memorabilia from the entire 2004-2005 season. This inaugural edition will include chapters on every show that ran during the season not just the new shows, but the long-running ones from seasons past as well. In addition to all the headshots of all the actors who appeared in Playbill, the book will have photos of producers, writers, designers, stage managers, stagehands and musicians. The goal is to include as many of the faces that worked on Broadway and who made themselves available. Correspondents range from dressers and stage doormen to stage managers, dancers, featured players, and, in some cases, the star of the show.

Category : Fiction

Pages : 289
Book Description
Professor Arthur Lash, born Artur Lasch in pre-war Austria, takes his American wife and their three sons back to Vienna, in 1960, to see how well his father is rebuilding his life after regaining the factory stolen from him when Austria was annexed by Nazi Germany in 1938. For Arthur, the journey helps him re-establish his links with the city he was brought up in; for the rest of his family, their European holiday triggers emotions of a very different kind—secret longings, near disasters and absurd mishaps—all disruptive in different ways, and all watched over by their wise but needy and uninvited travelling companion, Mrs. Woodbine, the family nanny. A masterly piece of writing.
