Описание: It's 4:30 in the morning, and the "book woman" and her horse are already on their way. Hers is an important job, for the folks along her treacherous route are eager for the tattered books and magazines she carries in her saddlebags.
During the Great Depression, thousands lived on the brink of starvation. Many perished. In 1935 President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Works Progress Administration under his 1933 New Deal initiative. The WPAˆ€ˆwas designed to get people back on their feet. One of its most innovative programs was the Pack Horse Library Project of Eastern Kentucky.
Thoroughly researched and illustrated with period photographs, this is the story of one of the WPA's greatest successes. People all over the country supported the project's goals. But it was the librarians themselves"€"young, determined, and earning just $28 a month"€"who brought the hope of a wider world to people in the crooks and hollows of Kentucky's Cumberland Mountains.

Автор: Gaile Inga Название: 30 Questions People Don`t Ask: The Selected Poems of Inga Gaile ISBN: 0997099429 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780997099423 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 20630.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Poetry. Translated from the Latvian by Leva Lesinska. The poems of Inga Gaile offer an urgent and at times mythic vision of the self trapped inside the claustrophobic press of history, nature, technology, and conflict. And yet the speaker's tone is often conversational, casual--even as she remains steadfast in her desire to right the world (no matter how impossible that task might be). Just when the poems begin to feel timeless and elemental--built of snow, blood, beasts, sex, and violence--an iPhone shows up to locate us clearly in our present moment. This work is deeply original, virtuosic in its use of metaphor and its complex engagement with global politics, and utterly of the 21st century--born of a hopeful longing for meaningful human connection coupled with a suspicion that such connection has too often become impossible. --Wayne Miller Inga Gaile's poems re-center subjects of feminism and gender. The collection is a haunting of Zirgu Pasts, myths of half-child bears, voices of buried daughters in relentless lines of heart-beating rhythm and no-nonsense questions digging into protest. Repetition becomes the site of trauma and recovery. The poems perform tragedy on stages of forest churches and icy tongues. Between daughters and mothers and grandmothers, the poems show life as it exists, as both miracle and fog. It is with mathematical precision that she unfurls wounds of history, criticizes emotional sincerity, and complicates witness and testimony. --E.J. Koh

A fiction, fantasy, time travel, literary novel that includes clean romance as well. This series of novels is Christian-based and has no inappropriate situations or cursing in the books. However, there are some suggested situations and descriptive demon battles that may frighten younger children. The suggested reading age for this series is thirteen and up.
In this second book in the series, Seth and Odessa make a trip with Simon to Reader's Island, a hidden island in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle. The island holds all sorts of secrets, and the barrier is extememly easy to travel by for anyone on the island, meaning Seth could possibly find a way back to Caroline.
Nicholas Turner and Sean Doran have been training new Peregrines Kristen Wright, Dina Adams, and Wade Connolly while they wait on word from Safra Driscoll and the other Dragoman as to where they can find the lost Peregrine dubbed Eleven, whom they now know as Bridget Burke. The last attempt to find her was unsuccessful, but they did find that she travels with another woman who could also be a new Peregrine or Dragoman.
The Dragoman leaders have instructed the Peregrination leaders to merge with everyone else on Reader's Island for an important mission. The Peregrines must soon leave on these missions to find some lost or hidden keys that open the recently found ancient archive books. The books were found hidden deep beneath the Earth's surface in an ancient temple. These books may hold important information concerning all of their futures.
Meanwhile, Caroline and Bridget have just walked out of the storm they entered back in Dover, England in the year 1580. The place in which they have exited the storm is a dark, stormy place, full of strange things and people. Especially the large, hairy man who calls himself, Oz. The adventures they take and the perils they face make them wonder if they should have ever left Dover, even with the horrible witch hunts and trials that had been taking place.
Join me on another journey with old and new friends as they continue the search for ancient artifacts, strangely shaped keys that will open the ancient archive books, and the hunt for the missing Peregrine. You will discover strangely beautiful new worlds, evil men who kill for pleasure and their own personal gains, and exotic new animals in a world yet to be discovered.
The Peregrination Series will prove to be your next great adventure read

When Caroline Engbert inherits her grandparents' home, she is not only surprised and grateful, but also deeply hurt and angry at God. Following her parents' deaths, she'd grown up in a series of foster homes with no knowledge of her grandparents' existence. Why had she never known them or received acknowledgment of any kind from them while they were alive? What had happened in her family to create such a rift? Is there any way for her to find out? As Book One of the Caroline's Heritage series opens, distant toddler memories prevent her from selling their beautiful home and bring her back as a nineteen-year-old to the house she remembers as part of a happier time in life, a time when she had a family of her own, a time when she was loved.
Without resources, without family, there is no one else to rely on. She must make it on her own. What will this unexpected inheritance mean to Caroline? How can her homecoming possibly bring the family restoration she longs for, when God has taken all of her family from her? Unsure of what she will find, she is determined to search out all that the house has to reveal. Follow her journey as she discovers her true family history and spiritual legacy in this story of salvation and redemption.
