Adams Chronicles
About this Book: Dating back to the dawn of American independence, Moroccan and American relations are among the strongest, richest, and most diverse relations binding two different nations together for hundreds of years. Despite the volatility of the international political scene in the modern era, these relations have remained stable, giving a stunning example of solid bilateral cooperation. The Moorish empire - shrunk through different historical processes to what is known today as Morocco - was the leading power in North Africa and a major player on the international scene for centuries. Its territory once stretched over the Maghreb and the Iberian Peninsula into France, especially durin...

Adams Chronicles
Before I travel to any new place, I like to read up on the history of the country. For a quick geography lesson, Thailand is smack dab in the middle of Southeast Asia and bordered by four countries: Myanmar (Burma), Laos, Cambodia, and Malaysia. And because of its location, Thailand's culture and history are heavily influenced by India, Japan, and China.Thailand's tourism pushes the image that the country is the "land of smiles," and this is mostly true. Thai people generally prefer harmony over open social conflict, so it's rare to get into altercations on the streets, and I find the vendors and locals regularly offer up warm smiles and greetings.

About the Book.... For many visitors, a vacation to Alaska is a trip of a lifetime. I will remember our Alaska vacation for the rest of my life. Many refer to Alaska as "the Africa of the United States," as truly this 49th state has experiences you can't find anywhere in the "lower 48." The trip was on my "bucket list" for sometime!

Adams Chronicles
Long, long before Camp Sherman was established as one of thirty-two Army Camps in 1917, the lands that would become Camp Sherman were home to a thriving prehistoric culture of American Indians who utilized the lands for survival, earthwork construction and interment for their dead )6,7). Two thousand years ago, American Indians of the Hopewell culture lived in scattered hamlets throughout the south-central Ohio valley. They would often come together to celebrate feasts, funerals, and rites of passage. It's unclear how or exactly why they came together, but when they did, they would construct monumental earthworks that would span hundreds of acres of land (6). These earthworks were constructe...
Artistic Impressions
In contemporary North America, figure skating ranks among the most 'feminine' of sports and few boys take it up for fear of being labelled effeminate or gay. Yet figure skating was once an exclusively male pastime - women did not skate in significant numbers until the late 1800s, at least a century after the founding of the first skating club. Only in the 1930s did figure skating begin to acquire its feminine image. Artistic Impressions is the first history to trace figure skating's striking transformation from gentlemen's art to 'girls' sport.' With a focus on masculinity, Mary Louise Adams examines how skating's evolving gender identity has been reflected on the ice and in the media, looking at rules, technique, and style and at ongoing debates about the place of 'art' in sport. Uncovering the little known history of skating, Artistic Impressions shows how ideas about sport, gender, and sexuality have combined to limit the forms of physical expression available to men.

“. . . Retracing the Vanishing Footprints of Our Appalachian Ancestors” represents a genealogical history of thirteen major pioneer families who settled in eastern Kentucky during the 18th and 19th Centuries. The surnames include Adams, Berry, Brooks, Brown, Burton, Castle, Chaffin, Daniel, Large, Thompson, Ward, Wellman, and Young. To fully appreciate their social and economic hardships and challenges requires the reader to visualize what life was like on the early frontier. After the American Revolution and the Civil War, many of these early pioneers traveled from North Carolina and Virginia into the sheltering hills of eastern Kentucky via Cumberland Gap and Pound Gap. Others came fro...
