Book Description
For most of my adult life, I have been writing down my thoughts and reflections emerging from life around me, especially the beauty and wonder in nature and that miraculous God-given creative process that envelops all of us. I have always maintained that these were only notes to myself. But now in my sunset years, I have been convinced to share these notes with others. As our culture has become busier, noisier, and more intrusive, my need, and perhaps yours, has become more intense to have a wayside, a place, a state of mind, where we can pull over and let the rest of the world go by for a while. I hope you find this to be such a place.

Book Description
As a teacher-poet, William Yager uses the metaphor of traveling through to symbolize our lifes journey, suffused by innumerable unique and individual encounters and experiencessome with other people, some with nature, and some with the spirit of God. In his first book, Dr. Yager suggested that we may all need a wayside, a place or state of mind where we can stop and take a reflective breath. In Traveling Through, he explores, at a deep and intuitive level, our encounters with nature, the extravagant spirit of God, the culture surrounding us, and the countercultural essence of the authentic Gospel of Jesus.

Book Description
Western expansion in North America has mainly been described as either a linear sequence energized by nineteenth-century nation-building processes at a moving frontier, or as the practice of settler colonialism and its exploitation of resources and displacement of nonwhite peoples. This book suggests that shifting the focus from this binary pattern towards spatial imaginations and spatialization processes—a new theoretical framework developed at SFB 1199—provides novel insights into the placemaking dynamics of the American West. It brings to light a discursive diversity that often contradicts unidirectional interpretive patterns. It becomes clear that while some discourses solidified into spatial metanarratives like the character-shaping clash of civilizations at the frontier or manifest destiny, alternative spatial imaginations exist juxtaposed to or obfuscated by canonical interpretations. Making use of a variety of sources (including works of literature, poetry, newspapers, paintings, and speeches) to access spatialization processes on several sociocultural scales, the book presents a careful exploration of the parameters that inform(ed) the creation, affirmation, and subversion of spatial imagination of the American West throughout the nineteenth century from the perspective of American Studies.
