The Lost Continent
Author: Bill Bryson
Publisher: Anchor Canada
ISBN: 0385674562
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
"I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to." And, as soon as Bill Bryson was old enough, he left. Des Moines couldn't hold him, but it did lure him back. After ten years in England he returned to the land of his youth, and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of smiling village where the movies from his youth were set. Instead he drove through a series of horrific burgs, which he renamed Smellville, Fartville, Coleslaw, Coma, and Doldrum. At best his search led him to Anywhere, USA, a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels and hamburger outlets populated by obese and slow-witted hicks with a partiality for synthetic fibres. He discovered a continent that was doubly lost: lost to itself because he found it blighted by greed, pollution, mobile homes and television; lost to him because he had become a foreigner in his own country.

Considerations of the Soul Presents
Author: Queen D Michele
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781654614959
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
Traveling Home Together is the first book in a series of non-fiction writings, under the Considerations of the Soul trademark. This book takes the reader through a sweet metaphorical journey of traveling home from school, like I did for many years. I now consider planet Earth a Universal School filled with family, friends, communities, and lots and lots of lessons. Essentially, what we're all doing is traveling home from Earth School together. This book is a wonderful reminder of that simple truth. Each chapter is an essay that asks the reader to consider a community of thought as it relates to Consciousness. The essays also encourage the reader to look withIN the Soul/Self, rather than withOUT into the external Egoic world for those deep concerning questions of who am I, really? and why am I here? This book will most likely resonate with newly Awakened Souls seeking out gentle guidance and insights that will assist with the personal growth of their Soul.As a Light Worker, Way Shower and Frequency Holder, I have dedicated much time in meditation and in the study of consciously living New Earth realities here. Now, on my purposeful path I'm thrilled to be in service as a New Earth Representative. I set forth my highest and purest intention to assist anyone that encounters my content.

The Story of the Chippewa Indians
Author: Gregory O. Gagnon
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This single-volume book provides a narrative history of the Chippewa tribe with attention to tribal origins, achievements, and interactions within the United States. Unlike previous works that focus on the relationships of the Chippewa with the colonial governments of France, Great Britain, and the United States, this volume offers a historical account of the Chippewa with the tribe at its center. The volume covers Chippewa history chronologically from about 10,000 BC to the present and is geographically comprehensive, detailing Chippewa history as it occurred in both Canada and the United States, from the Great Lakes to Montana to adjacent Canadian provinces. Written by a Chippewa scholar, the book synthesizes key scholarly contributions to Chippewa studies through the author's own interpretive framework and tells the history of the Chippewa as a story that encompasses the culture's traditions and continued tenacity. It is organized into chronological chapters that include sidebars and highlight notable figures for ease of reference, and a timeline and bibliography allow readers to identify causal relationships among key events and provide suggestions for further research.
