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 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.
Family Lawyer as Peacemaker is a groundbreaking work by Forrest S. Mosten and Lara Traum that redefines the role of the family lawyer as a healer, guide, and changemaker. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience, deep reflection, and a commitment to justice with a human face, Mosten and Traum offer a visionary blueprint for practicing law through empathy, collaboration, and sustainable conflict resolution. This comprehensive volume explores the principles, practices, and mindsets that transform family law into a peacemaking profession. From reshaping legal practice around healing and collaboration to cultivating self-awareness and emotional intelligence, the authors guide readers through the practical and philosophical foundations of peaceful lawyering. Whether navigating mediation, collaborative practice, prenuptial agreements, or long-term client relationships, the book provides concrete tools and frameworks to help professionals lead with presence and purpose. Throughout, the authors are joined by select contributors – esteemed practitioners, interdisciplinary leaders, and a respected peacemaking judge – who share stories from the field and perspectives on systemic reform. These contributions complement Mosten and Traum’s central message: that lawyers can be agents of healing in families and communities. Rich with actionable strategies, real-life case examples, and visionary insight, Family Lawyer as Peacemaker is both a practical manual and a call to action. For family lawyers, mediators, and students seeking to serve with integrity, compassion, and courage, this book offers a path forward: one where peace is not a side effect, but the central mission of legal practice.
Winner of the 2017 American Political Science Association's Political Thought Book Award Forrest Nabors sets out to show that congressional Republicans regarded the work of Reconstruction in the same way they regarded the work of the Founders: as regime change, from monarchy in the one case and from oligarchy in the other, to republicanism. Nabors examines the writings and speeches of Republicans in the Thirty-Eighth, Thirty-Ninth, and Fortieth Congress (1863-1869), recovering their political analysis of the antebellum South. While Reconstruction scholars have typically emphasized black citizenship as the central concern of congressional Republicans, Nabors demonstrates that they identified Southern oligarchy (tightly linked to slavery) as the problem of the age.
On December 4, 1865, members of the 39th United States Congress walked into the Capitol Building to begin their first session after the end of the Civil War. They understood their responsibility to put the nation back on the path established by the American Founding Fathers. The moment when the Republicans in the Reconstruction Congress remade the nation and renewed the law is in a class of rare events. The Civil War should be seen in this light. In From Oligarchy to Republicanism: The Great Task of Reconstruction, Forrest A. Nabors shows that the ultimate goal of the Republican Party, the war, and Reconstruction was the same. This goal was to preserve and advance republicanism as the American founders understood it, against its natural, existential enemy: oligarchy. The principle of natural equality justified American republicanism and required abolition and equal citizenship. Likewise, slavery and discrimination on the basis of color stand on the competing moral foundation of oligarchy, the principle of natural inequality, which requires ranks. The effect of slavery and the division of the nation into two “opposite systems of civilization” are causally linked. Charles Devens, a lawyer who served as a general in the Union Army, and his contemporaries understood that slavery’s existence transformed the character of political society. One of those dramatic effects was the increased power of slaveowners over those who did not have slaves. When the slave state constitutions enumerated slaves in apportioning representation using the federal three-fifths ratio or by other formulae, intra-state sections where slaves were concentrated would receive a substantial grant of political power for slave ownership. In contrast, low slave-owning sections of the state would lose political representation and political influence over the state. This contributed to the non-slaveholders’ loss of political liberty in the slave states and provided a direct means by which the slaveholders acquired and maintained their rule over non-slaveholders. This book presents a shared analysis of the slave South, synthesized from the writings and speeches of the Republicans who served in the Thirty-Eighth, Thirty-Ninth or Fortieth Congress from 1863-1869. The account draws from their writings and speeches dated before, during, and after their service in Congress. Nabors shows how the Republican majority, charged with the responsibility of reconstructing the South, understood the South. Republicans in Congress were generally united around the fundamental problem and goal of Reconstruction. They regarded their work in the same way as they regarded the work of the American founders. Both they and the founders were engaged in regime change, from monarchy in the one case, and from oligarchy in the other, to republicanism. The insurrectionary states’ governments had to be reconstructed at their foundations, from oligarchic to republican. The sharp differences within Congress pertained to how to achieve that higher goal.
