On her fourteenth birthday, Holly gets her wish: a horse all her own. Shabang is a striking mare with a sleek, mahogany coat and white stockings. For four years, Shabang is Holly's beloved pet and proud show horse. The young woman and her equine companion have a tremendous respect for and deep understanding of one another. Both are devastated when they are torn apart. Shabang and another horse, Nitro, are taken from their homes and left in the harsh wilderness of Arizona, where food and water are scarce. The wild herd that gallops across the area shuns the two lost horses as intruders, leaving them to fend for themselves. The horses face hardship and danger more dreadful than either one of them ever imagined, and they long for the days when they had owners who loved them and treated them with dignity and kindness. As a grieving Holly dreams of being reunited with Shabang and does everything in her power to find the horses, Shabang does all she can to ensure Nitro's survival in the wild, as well as her own. Shabang's Story is the inspiring tale of the unbreakable bond between a girl and her horse and how love can help conquer all obstacles.

A valuable much needed book, which explores how to successfully achieve a reasonable state of happiness, throughout our lifetimes while managing the dire challenges we all are certain to face. As Woody Allen would say: "It's the shit happens phenomenon, it's only a question of how much and when!" The importance of laughter is captured, through descriptive narrative providing the reader with a "word picture," and ability to share the many real life truly funny situations presented. The book also addresses the most important questions man can ask, namely: What's It All About?, Why Are We Here?, and Is There An Afterlife? Input from several of the most brilliant minds, past and present, along with indisputable scientific facts, regarding those questions, are cited for the reader's consideration and personal evaluation.

Popular media can spark the national consciousness in a way that captures people’s attention, interests them in history, and inspires them to visit battlefields, museums, and historic sites. This lively collection of essays and feature stories celebrates the novels, popular histories, magazines, movies, television shows, photography, and songs that have enticed Americans to learn more about our most dramatic historical era. From Ulysses S. Grant’s Memoirs to Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, from Roots to Ken Burns’s The Civil War, from “Dixie” to “Ashokan Farewell,” and from Civil War photography to the Gettysburg Cyclorama, trendy and well-loved depictions of the Civil War are the subjects of twenty contributors who tell how they and the general public have been influenced by them. Sarah Kay Bierle examines the eternal appeal of Gone with the Wind and asks how it is that a protagonist who so opposed the war has become such a figurehead for it. H. R. Gordon talks with New York Times–bestselling novelist Jeff Shaara to discuss the power of storytelling. Paul Ashdown explores ColdMountain’s value as a portrait of the war as national upheaval, and Kevin Pawlak traces a shift in cinema’s depiction of slavery epitomized by 12 Years a Slave. Tony Horwitz revisits his iconic Confederates in the Attic twenty years later. The contributors’ fresh analysis articulates a shared passion for history’s representation in the popular media. The variety of voices and topics in this collection coalesces into a fascinating discussion of some of the most popular texts in the genres. In keeping with the innovative nature of this series, web-exclusive material extends the conversation beyond the book.
