The Unruly One
This is a story about how I overcame the streets and foster care
Where is Ser (The Brave Lion)
A powerful story as seen through the eyes of an American veteran who in 2016 during the bloody civil war with ISIS flew alone to Iraq. There, he was able to join the Kurdish militia, YPG as a combat medic sneaking into Rojava, Syria. These pages are his personal story and they take you to the front lines of battle in a way that will make you smell the dirt. This book tears away the thin vale of war in a terrifyingly haunting way. "I, River Rainbow O'Mahoney Hagg Tekoser Azad, just a name only. A shadow who never honestly looked at myself. Never knew myself and so I died alone and ignorant. Buried alive in Manbij, Syria, like so many before me and so many more to come. "Why now? Please?" There is a deep sadness in realizing I had wasted my whole life not getting to know me before there was no me. Too late! A deep and penetrating sadness of all I wasted when I thought I had all the time in the world and I did not. So, like an idiot, I danced right up to the edge of the end without ever even knowing it." "This is the place where the disappeared aren't missing."
America's War in Syria
A unique assessment of American military involvement in Syria, written by three very different authors who between them participated in all large Kurdish operations between late 2014 and mid-2016, experiencing first-hand the impact America had on the battlefield. With America’s War on Terror and the subsequent democracy experiments in Afghanistan and Iraq having turned into geopolitical disasters, the US military campaign in alliance with the Kurdish forces in Syria remains a rare success story. Considering the overwhelming military victory, the functioning Kurdish civilian governing structures that followed the fighting, the extremely light military footprint and the strong link to Kurdis...
Rivers in the Landscape
Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are likely to be influenced by that channel. Tectonic uplift raises rock thousands of meters above sea level. Precipitation falling on the uplifted terrain concentrates into channels that carry sediment downward to the oceans and influence the steepness of adjacent hill slopes by governing the rate at which the landscape incises. Rivers migrate laterally across lowlands, creating a complex topography of terraces, floodplain wetlands and channels. Subtle differences in elevation, grain size, and soil moisture across t...
Job, Boethius, and Epic Truth
Calling into question the common assumption that the Middle Ages produced no secondary epics, Ann W. Astell here revises a key chapter in literary history. She examines the connections between the Book of Job and Boethius' s Consolation of Philosophy—texts closely associated with each other in the minds of medieval readers and writers—and demonstrates that these two works served as a conduit for the tradition of heroic poetry from antiquity through the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance. As she traces the complex influences of classical and biblical texts on vernacular literature, Astell offers provocative readings of works by Dante, Chaucer, Spenser, Malory, Milton, and many others. A...
Blues Who's who
Rarely has a book received such unanimous praise as the Blue's Who's Who. Eighteen years of research and writing, most of it done by Sheldon Harris alone, have produced a reference book that has been accepted in the U.S., England, and Europe, as truly indispensable for anyone seriously interested in the history of country, city, folk, and rock blues. Covering all eras and styles, it features detailed biographies of 571 blues artists, 450 photographs, and hundreds of pages of carefully researched facts.
A Living Countryside?
By examining a range of experiences from both the north and south of Ireland, this book asks what the ideal of sustainable development might mean to specific rural groups and how sustainable development goals have been pursued across the policy spectrum. It assesses the extent of commitment to a living countryside in Ireland and compares various opportunities and obstacles to the actual achievement of sustainable rural development. How different sectors of rural society will be challenged in terms of future survival provides an overarching theme throughout.
