27: A History of the 27 Club Through the Lives of Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse

When singer Amy Winehouse was found dead at her London home in 2011, the press inducted her into what Kurt Cobain's mother named the 27 Club. "Now he's gone and joined that stupid club," she said in 1994, after being told that her son, the front man of Nirvana, had committed suicide. "I told him not to..." Kurt's mom was referring to the extraordinary roll call of stars who died at the same young age, including Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison of the Doors. All were talented. All were dissipated. All were 27. In this haunting book, author Howard Sounes conducts the definitive forensic investigation into the lives and deaths of the six most iconic members of the Club, as well as some lesser known members, to discover what, apart from coincidence, this phenomenon signifies. In a grimly fascinating journey through the dark side of the music business, Sounes uncovers a common story of excess, madness, and self-destruction. The fantasies, half-truths, and mythologies that have become associated with the Club are debunked. Instead, a clear and compelling narrative emerges, one based on hard facts, that unites these lost souls in both life and death.
Picturing a Different West addresses Willa Cather and Mary Austin as central figures in a womens tradition of the pictured West. Both Cather and Austin moved west in their youth and spent much of their lives there. Cather lived on the Great Plains, while Austin resided in California and the Southwest. Cathers travels repeatedly took her to the Southwest, and she wrote three novels with Southwestern settings. Starting with the masculine tradition of Western art that was prevalent when Austin and Cather launched their careers, Janis P. Stout shows how the authors challenged and revised that tradition. Rather than a West of adventure, violence, and conquest, open only to rugged and daring men, the authors envisioned a new West - not conventionally feminine so much as an androgynous space of freedom for women and men alike. Their vision of an alternative West and their alternative ways of thinking about and portraying gender are inseparable. Placing Cather and Austin alongside contemporaries Elsie Clews Parsons, Mabel Dodge Luhan, Georgia O Keeffe, and Laura Gilpin, Stout emphasizes the visual nature of Austins and Cathers personal experiences of the West and Southwest, their awareness of the prevailing visual representations of the West, and the visual nature of their books about the West, with respect to both prose style and illustrations. In closing, Stout demonstrates the continuance of their tradition in illustrated western books by Leslie Marmon Silko and by Margaret Randall and Barbara Byers.

Why would anyone want to read a story about the rescue of a Pit Bull? Although the story of Finding a Forever Home, The True Story of Rescuing Ellie Bleu is a heartfelt journey of a dog being rescued, the important underlying message is to address hurtful and dangerous prejudices. Ellie Bleu is a Pit Bull. Pit Bulls are victimized by the prejudice that they are all dangerous and can be evil. There are localities that are even legislating the ban of Pit Bulls.The book challenges how and why there are prejudices against people and pets. Mere differences in skin color, height, weight, language, physical appearance, religions and countries of origin that deny opportunities to individual and groups are questioned. This book presents a way to open minds to the discussion of how and why we hold negative beliefs. The book speaks to the ideal that people should behave with love and understanding. For everyone that has an influence over others, Finding a Forever Home is the springboard to have the conversation and thoughts about examining prejudices. An in-depth discussion of prejudies provides the opportunity to look for the reasons to love and celebrate differences as opposed to finding reasons for rejection. In a world that desperately needs to move the needle away from dangerous prejudices, and towards love and rescue, let's thank the story of Ellie Bleu.Royalties from the book are donated to Rescue Groups and Organizations that help those victimized by prejudices.
This far north, they say the dead are with us… Hogmanay, the far north of Scotland. Alone on the shoreline, lobster fisherman Rob Sinclair pours a dram into the freezing waves of the North Sea.

A young woman, Mairi, charged by her dead mother to carry out three acts of vengeance. Bitter revenge for deeds done before Mairi was born. Lonely and damaged, Rob and Mairi are drawn to one another. Rob is beguiled by Mairi, but she is elusive, frustrating, her personality shapeshifting. The only certainty is that Mairi is not who she says she is…

Named a Best Book of 2015 by the San Francisco Chronicle From the bestselling author of Mary: Mrs. A. Lincoln, a magical novel about the surprising acts we are capable of in the name of love. Set in 1942 New York and Berlin, A Master Plan for Rescue is an enchanting novel about the life-giving powers of storytelling, and the heroism that can be inspired by love. In essence, it is two love stories. It is the story of a child who worships his parents, then loses his father to an accident and his mother to her resulting grief. And it is the story of a young man who stumbles into the romance of his life, then watches her decline, forever changing the arc of his future. Each is propelled by the belief that if he acts heroically enough, it will restore some part of what--or whom--he has lost. But when they meet, this boy and this man, their combined grief and magical thinking will allow them to dream the impossible. Sharing stories of the people they have lost, they are inspired to join forces and act in their memory. To do something so memorable that it might actually bring their loved ones back--even if only in spirit. A Master Plan for Rescue is a beautiful tale, propelled by history and imagination, that suggests people's impact upon the world doesn't necessarily end with their lives, and that, to some degree, we are the sum of the stories we tell.
Using the intriguing stories and words of a Quechua-speaking woman named Luisa Cadena from the Pastaza Province of Ecuador, Janis B. Nuckolls reveals a complex language system in which ideophony, dialogue, and perspective are all at the core of cultural and grammatical communications amongAmazonian Quechua speakers. This book is a fascinating look at ideophones?words that communicate succinctly through imitative sound qualities. They are at the core of Quechua speakers’ discourse?both linguistic and cultural?because theyallow agency and reaction to substances and entities as well as beings. Nuckolls shows that LuisaCadena’s utterances give every individual, major or minor, a voice in her narrative. Sometimes as subtleas a barely felt movement or unintelligible sound, the language supports an amazingly wide variety of voices. Cadena’s narratives and commentaries on everyday events reveal that sound imitation through ideophones, representations of dialogues between humans and nonhumans, and grammatical distinctions between aspeaking self and an other are all part of a language system that allows for the possibility of sharedaffects, intentions, moral values, and meaningful, communicative interactions between humans and nonhumans.
