Pages : 330
Book Description
Jim Garrett is a Deputy Sheriff of Cochise County Colorado. He discovered a stray horse in a pasture on his father's ranch. From the brand he determined the horse had strayed from the Circle K ranch, which was legendary in this part of Colorado. His quest to contact the owner led him into an adventure he had not dreamed of when he first telephoned the ranch. Early in his search he found the ranch house abandoned and the elderly owner missing. In the library he discovered a book, "The Krills Of Colorado", there he followed the thread of one family through the history of the country from the immigrant founder of the ranch in 1844 to his descendants ending in 1995. Reading the book gave him a clue to the missing man, who had become a victim of his use of modern technology, which left a vast empire unattended except for the automatic controls he had put into practice. Jim was mystified about an apparition mentioned in the book. His knowledge of the family history led to an assignment that took an unexpected turn in New York City on that fateful day September 11, 2001.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Boxing is no cakewalk! Azumah Ring Professor Nelson in the Social History of Ghanaian Boxing explores the social history of boxing in Ghana and its interesting nexus with the biography of Azumah Nelson, unquestionably Ghanas most celebrated boxer. The book posits that sports constitute more than mere games that people play. They are endowed with enormous political, cultural, economic and social power that can influence peoples lives in various ways. Boxing is no cakewalk! interrogates the social meaning and impact of boxing within the colonial and postcolonial milieux of popular culture in Ghana. Consequently, it reconsiders the prevailing conception of boxing as adversative to enlightened human culture by arguing that it is a positive formulator of individual and national identities. The historicising of sports and the lives of sportspersons in Ghana provides an eloquent backdrop for an understanding of the past social dynamics and their effect in the present. The books analytical narrative offers an intellectual contribution to the promising areas of social and cultural history in Ghanas historiography and the scholarly discourse on identity formation and social empowerment through the popular culture of sports.
