Forrest Covington: Dømt til repet«Det er en fair advarsel jeg gir deg, Mitch. Hvis Lillebror ikke er ute av cellen innen solnedgang, kommer vi og henter ham!» Sheriff Troy Mitchell så på de fire rytterne. Bullard-brødrene. Hver av dem farligere enn en klapperslange. Han festet blikket på Sam, den eldste av brødrene, og sa: «Lillebror ble funnet skyldig av en jury, Sam. Og dommeren sa at Lillebror skulle henges i morgen tidlig, og det er akkurat hva jeg har tenkt å gjøre!»Wayne D. Overholser: Dalens kongeHugh ble rundjult, all motstand var nytteløs. «Nok!» ropte Pope. Hearn, som sto i bakgrunnen, lo. «Slå ham ut, gutter.» «Nei, han har fått nok,» gjentok Pope. «Du her bløtaktig, Pope,» sa Hearn. «Du er ferdig her! Ta med deg Hugh ut av dalen, og dere behøver ikke å komme tilbake. «Hugh kommer tilbake,» sa Pope. «Glem ikke det, Vic Hearn!»
Lille Tre er fortellinger om en liten indianergutts oppvekst i1930-årenes USA. Lille Tre blir tidlig foreldreløs og vokser opp hos Besta og Bestefar, som er cherokee-indianere. De lever som enkle fjellbønder, og tar kjærlig i mot Lille Tre og oppdrar ham på indianervis. Han lærer å lytte og forstå trærne, fuglene og dyrenes språk, og å oppføre seg som det sømmer seg en indianer. Men farer truer: vinterkulde og klapperslanger, og myndighetene som dukker opp og vil sende ham på barnehjem for å få drevet synden ut av ham.
Dette er romanen om Geronimo (1829-1909), apacheindianernes høvding og krigssjaman. Boka bygger på autentiske beretninger om hans liv og kamp mot blåjakker og meksikanere. Den skildrer nederlag, seier, svik, troløshet, ære og undergang, men først og fremst indianernes ressurser og livsvilje.
The Devotion of Collecting: Dutch Ministers and the Culture of Print in the Seventeenth Century

The history of the Netherlands in the seventeenth century cannot be adequately told without considering ministers' understanding of print, and how they used print to encourage godliness and the nature of their personal libraries. This study is built upon an examination of 234 auction catalogues of ministerial collections, nearly all that are known to survive, and the transcription of fifty-five of these catalogues. Libraries were possessions of central importance to the ministers who owned them. Knowing the kinds of print with which ministers interacted provides us with valuable insights into the daily life of a minister and the culture of the era. So, what books did these central theological figures own and how did they use them?

I Chicago ligger några av USA:s mest utsatta områden. Här är fattigdomen och segregationen omfattande och gängkriminaliteten och vapenvåldet präglar invånarnas vardag. Ett av gängen är Corner Boys, bestående av omkring trettio unga män från ett område i stadens södra delar.Några av dem skapar musik i genren ”drill”, vilket är slang för att skjuta eller knivhugga någon. Det är en hyperlokal och ultravåldsam form av rap med mörka beats som går ut på att hota och håna rivaliserande gäng för att hävda sin egen överlägsenhet och autenticitet. Genom sociala medieplattformar som Youtube, Twitter och Instagram utnyttjar de allmänhetens fascination för ”ghettot” och gängkulturen, och i enstaka fall kan ett uppbyggt mikrokändisskap innebära vägen ut ur prekära levnadsförhållanden.I ”Äkta” beskriver sociologen Forrest Stuart hur sociala medier på många sätt har förändrat gängvåldets själva innebörd och funktion. I takt med digitaliseringen och demokratiseringen av kulturproduktionens medel har gängvåldet blivit en primärprodukt i egen rätt. Snarare än att använda våld för att kontrollera droghandeln, använder dessa gängassocierade Chicago-ungdomar framställningar av våld för att generera visningar, klick och uppmärksamhet på nätet.Genom ett omfattande fältarbete och intervjuer i nära kontakt med Corner Boys ges en unik bild av vad som händer när gängkulturen och den digitala uppmärksamhetsekonomin möts.Forrest Stuart är professor i sociologi vid Stanford University och föreståndare för Stanford Ethnography Lab.

The city of Sterling in northeast Colorado is at a crossroads of several trails historically and modern roads and highways today. The area was once inhabited by the Arapahoe, Cheyenne, Crow, Blackfoot, Sioux, Kiowa, and Pawnee tribes. The earliest Europeans were fur trappers on their way to the Colorado Mountains. The Sterling area is also noted for one of the final battles of the Indian wars, the battle of Summit Springs, between Tall Bull's Cheyenne Dog Soldiers and Col. Eugene A. Carr and the U.S. Army, southeast of Sterling on July 11, 1869. Today the city of Sterling is the county seat for Logan County. It is located at the junction of the South Platte River, Interstate 76, and Highways 6, 14, 61, and 138. Its history as an agricultural community is still a vital part of the economy and culture. Many of the celebrations seen in this book are annual events today, including the county fair and Sugar Beet Days.

A charming tale for fans of Marley & Me and Dewey's Nine Lives. Whenever middle-aged desert tour guide Forrest Bryant Johnson went out on his daily walks into the Mojave, all was usually peaceful and serene. But one beautiful summer day in 1987, Forrest heard a cry of distress. Following the cries, he came upon a small bobcat kitten, injured, orphaned, and desperately in need of help. So Forrest took his new feline friend home for a night. But when the little "trooper" clearly needed some more time to recoup, that night turned into two nights, a week, and eventually nineteen years. And so Trooper became a part of the Johnson family. And in those nineteen years, Trooper lived his nine lives to the fullest. He explored desert flora and fauna around him, befriending kit foxes, jackrabbits, desert tortoises, and other creatures and getting into mischief along the way. Trooper became a "big brother" to stray tabby Little Brother, teaching, guiding, and protecting Brother on the pair's adventures and misadventures. He became a beloved patient at his local vet, and cherished housemate of Forrest's wife, Chi. And Trooper even managed to melt the icy heart of a tough guy neighbor. But most of all, throughout his nineteen years, Trooper became Forrest's best friend, as the two shared each other's worries and frustrations, musings and rants, joys and laughter. Harrowing and heartfelt, Trooper: The Bobcat Who Came in from the Wild is for any reader who ever had their heart stolen by their pet.
When Davis Kennedy interviews at a mysterious new startup called Paradox Inc., he’s startled to find the venue is in the past. Silicon Valley’s emerging “temporal engineering” sector has just cracked time travel, and companies are racing to exploit it for productivity hacks that would make Steve Jobs’s head spin. Despite initial hesitations, Davis takes the job—only to find himself at the center of a frenzied tech arms race to bring consumer time travel to market. As corporate recklessness fractures reality itself, Davis struggles to clean up his colleagues’ messes. Even worse, his billionaire founder isn’t just in it for the science—he has far more sinister plans. If he gains control of the future, it might already be too late to stop him. Told in a mockumentary style with rotating POVs, PARADOX INC. follows Davis; Gloria, an executive at a rival tech firm battling time travel-induced chaos; and Lena, a journalist profiling Paradox Inc.'s founder, only to uncover a much larger conspiracy.
