Montana s relationship to Americana music is as wide and deep as the famed Missouri River that inspired countless musicians seated at its shores. From the fiddling of Pierre Cruzatte and George Gibson in the Corps of Discovery to the modern-day loner folk of Joey Running Crane and Cameron Boster, the Treasure State inspires the production of top-notch country music. In the 1950s, bands like the Snake River Outlaws fostered a long-standing love of hillbilly honky-tonk, and in the 1970s, the Mission Mountain Wood Band added a homegrown flavor of its own. Contemporary acts like the Lil Smokies and songwriter Martha Scanlan promise a vibrant future for the local sound. Author and musician Aaron Parrett explores this history to show what it means to boot stomp in Big Sky Country."

*All books in the Real Man series can be read as standalone titles.*They called him Big for more than one reason.BigI had everything I could want in life. My own career, a house with property, and respect in my community.But what I didn't have was her.Landry. Owner of the town's cleaning service.For five long years, I'd pined after her. I watched her from afar, thought only about her, hell, fantasized about Landry when I was alone. And for five years, I'd stayed celibate, because Landry was the only woman I wanted in my life in every way.My self-control when it came to her should have won me a medal, but that tightly reined in desire had slipped and I was done holding myself back.So I told her I needed her help-her talents in making my place livable. What she didn't know was it was just to get her to my place, to tell her, show her she was always meant to be mine.LandryWhen I realized it was Big who wanted my services, I didn't know if I could go through with it. I loved him, had for years, but I was inexperienced in all things romantic, so being honest and just telling him how I felt wasn't an option.But when I found myself in his home... with him watching me, I knew I'd fail miserably at trying to act like I didn't want him.And when things come on hard and fast, I know there's no going back. I'm about to give Big every part of myself, including my virginity, but then again, I know that's what he wants.Me, in his life, as his. Forever.
Pop culture stereotypes, shopping frustrations, fat jokes, and misconceptions about health are all ways society systemically rejects large bodies. Big is a collection of personal and intimate experiences of plus size women, non-binary, and trans people in a society obsessed with thinness. Revealing insights that are both funny and traumatic, surprising and challenging, familiar and unexpected, 26 writers explore themes as diverse as self-perception, body image, fashion, fat activism, food, sexuality, diet culture, and motherhood. These stories offer a closer look at what it means to navigate a world designed to fit bodies of a certain size (sometimes literally) and, in turn, invites readers to ask questions about--and ultimately reconsider--our collective and individual obsession with women's bodies. Contributors include Simone Blais, Dr. Rohini Bannerjee, Sonja Boon, Layla Cameron, Jo Jefferson, Tracy Manrell, Rabbit Richards, Amanda Scriver, Cassie Stocks, and more.

“If you’re a lover of wildlife imagery, this is worth adding to your wishlist” —Amateur Photographer "...an amazing new photobook on the giants of the animal kingdom..." —Examiner USA "This is the type of book that makes a handsome gift for any wildlife lover. But you’ll want to look at every photo before giving it away." —Inhabitat "This book marvelously lives up to its title, not just in size... but in subject matter: big animals, from lions to sharks to grizzly bears, all stunningly photographed by two highly accomplished wildlife photographers who decided to combine their work for this wondrous portfolio." —Air Mail When we encounter an animal in nature, it triggers something in us; we feel a certain emotion in the presence of the other creature: amazement, adoration, fascination, and indeed, in some situations, fear and apprehension. But a brush with a deer, wild boar, or hare is no comparison to a rendezvous with a grizzly, lion, shark, or pod of whales. Amos Nachoum and Marko Dimitrijevic have experienced this hundreds of times in their combined 70 years as wildlife photographers. Now, for the first time, they are combining their award-winning photographs with previously unpublished photographs of the world’s largest animals in one book. The two photographers, who are also friends, tell us what it is like to be out in the wild and look the world’s biggest animals right in the eye. The structure of the book’s chapters is arranged based on human emotions such as amazement, admiration, fear, and love. In their book, Nachoum and Dimitrijevic bring us closer to the giant animals of our planet, and allow us to share what these two men feel during these encounters, helping us learn about ourselves when we do so. Text in English and German.
