Her mother won't allow her to go to the event, so she decides to leave without her consent and slips away before her mom knows her intentions. Sky is damaged from her father's absence due to a nasty divorce and her mother's overprotection. She barely has a life of her own due to her mom's constant vigilance, so she rebels by going to Woodstock and experiences several incredible occurrences while there, some good, some horrifying. Sky continually encounters challenges amidst the backdrop of one of the most famous exhibitions of music in history. Woodstockers speaks of the impact Woodstock had on the youth, the musicians, society, and important trends of the era. The book's uniqueness is that it's a fictional piece immersed in the most celebrated music festival of all time and how one person's story at Woodstock could be a testimonial for many who attended.
In Darkest Alaska

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBefore Alaska became a mining bonanza, it was a scenic bonanza, a place larger in the American imagination than in its actual borders. Prior to the great Klondike Gold Rush of 1897, thousands of scenic adventurers journeyed along the Inside Passage, the nearly thousand-mile sea-lane that snakes up the Pacific coast from Puget Sound to Icy Strait. Both the famous—including wilderness advocate John Muir, landscape painter Albert Bierstadt, and photographers Eadweard Muybridge and Edward Curtis—and the long forgotten—a gay ex-sailor, a former society reporter, an African explorer, and a neurasthenic Methodist minister—returned with fascinating accounts of their Alaskan journeys, becoming advance men and women for an expanding United States. In Darkest Alaska explores the popular images conjured by these travelers' tales, as well as their influence on the broader society. Drawing on lively firsthand accounts, archival photographs, maps, and other ephemera of the day, historian Robert Campbell chronicles how Gilded Age sightseers were inspired by Alaska's bounty of evolutionary treasures, tribal artifacts, geological riches, and novel thrills to produce a wealth of highly imaginative reportage about the territory. By portraying the territory as a "Last West" ripe for American conquest, tourists helped pave the way for settlement and exploitation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn utterly enthralling saga of magic and subterfuge, highly recommended - Midwest Book Review A Threat To Remain is the last in a trilogy of magic- and action-packed prequel novellas featuring Asters and Affinites battling Dark Kings and their Disciples for the Surface of the world and the safety of humans. The Aster stories are a fantasy series written for young adults aged 13 and older, though they include scenes of violence and death that may not be suitable for some readers. The novellas are intended to be read in sequence. The first novella in the series is A Queen To Come. South America remains a mystery. The retreating research and rescue teams are still not safe. Darkness stalks them, and not all make it back to home base alive. Percy Kelly is the only known survivor of the Disciple attack in the Amazon Rainforest. He is the only one who can shed light on what happened, but is too traumatised to speak of what he has seen. Meanwhile, chaos continues to unfold in North America. Sophie and Sky are trapped by Mitrik, and his best inner-circle soldiers. Lian is gravely injured and has no way of getting healed. Nathan and Matu are on the outside, with no way of getting back in. The Asters will have to be smarter than their enemy, and use their magic in ways they didn’t even know was possible. Only then will they have any chance of staying alive and taking down the North American King and his uprising.

Strict Wildness

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA reviewer once called Peter Viereck's thought "not common sense but inspired, electric common sense." This volume of Viereck's selected essays on poetry and on history, written between 1938 through 2004, exemplifies this quality. Its main theme is suggested in Viereck's coined phrase "strict wildness," which suggests a balance between restraint (which by itself is staid and rigid) and passion (which by itself is incoherent). Frost called free verse tennis without the net. Viereck calls dead mechanical form "net without the tennis." Strict wildness, then, is spontaneity of feeling within strict organic form.The book explores questions of modernism and poetic craft with respect to American poetry. It discusses the controversy over Ezra Pound's politics and its relation to his poetics, as well as the nearly forgotten poet Vachel Lindsay. Viereck offers more general views on poetics, including the fruitful tensions between form and content, and the impact of modern technology on poetic expression. He also discusses history and politics, and contains essays on McCarthyism, the Cold War, political conformity of the Left and Right, and discusses issues of historiography and culture that define Viereck's highly individual, often critical brand of conservatism. In treating representative trends and figures in conservative thought, Viereck insists on clear awareness of what exists to conserve, what ought to be conserved, and why it should be conserved.In their range and originality, the writings brought together in Strict Wildness constitute an ideal introduction to Peter Viereck's literary and political thought and how they come together. It will be of interest to literary scholars, intellectual historians, and social scientists. The introduction allows the reader to grasp a clear sense of the context and background of Viereck's works.
