Beschreibung

Aberdeenshire by Alexander Mackie is a profound exploration of the complexities of identity, culture, and nature through the lens of Scotland's northern region. Mackie's narrative weaves together rich prose and evocative imagery, creating a vivid tapestry that captures the essence of Aberdeenshire's landscape and its people. The book is steeped in a literary tradition that intertwines personal narrative with historical context, reflecting on the socio-cultural dynamics of the area while also engaging with the broader themes of change and belonging. Alexander Mackie, a notable figure in Scottish literature, draws upon his own experiences and heritage to illuminate the rich history and diversity of Aberdeenshire. His intimate knowledge of the region, rooted in both personal and academic inquiry, enables him to present a comprehensive portrait of local customs, folklore, and the evolving relationship between its inhabitants and the land. Mackie's scholarly background is evident in his meticulous attention to detail and a nuanced understanding of the interplay between culture and environment. For those seeking a profound connection to the Scottish Highlands, "Aberdeenshire" is an essential read. Mackie's lyrical narrative not only informs but also engages the reader's imagination, inviting them to ponder their own relationship with place and community. This book is a treasure for anyone interested in Scottish heritage, landscape, and the intricate layers of human experience.

    Malcolm X (born Malcolm Little, later Malik el-Shabazz; May 19, 1925 - February 21, 1965) was an American Muslim minister and human rights activist who was a prominent figure during the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s. A spokesman for the Nation of Islam until 1964, he was a vocal advocate for Black empowerment and the promotion of Islam within the Black community. On February 21, 1965, he was assassinated in New York City. Three Nation members were charged with the murder and given indeterminate life sentences; in 2021, two of the convictions were vacated. Speculation about the assassination and whether it was conceived or aided by leading or additional members of the Nation, or with law enforcement agencies, has persisted for decades.

    Peace in the US Republic of Letters, 1840–1900 explores the early peace movement as it captured the imagination of leading writers. The book charts the rise of the peace cause from its sources in the works of William Penn and John Woolman, through the founding of the first peace societies in 1815 and the mid-century peace congresses, to the postbellum movement's consequential emphasis on arbitration. The Civil War is the central axis for the book, with three chapters organized around readings of novels by James Fenimore Cooper, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Nathaniel Hawthorne spanning the period from 1840 to 1865. 
     
     
     
    The volume also explores fiction engaged with problems that arose in the aftermath of that war, including novels by Henry Adams and John Hay on political corruption and class conflict; works on the failures of Reconstruction by Albion Tourgée and Charles Chesnutt; and the varied treatments of Indigenous experience in Helen Hunt Jackson's Ramona and Simon Pokagon's Queen of the Woods. All of these writers focused on issues related to the cause of peace, expanding its thematic reach and anticipating key insights of twentieth-century peace scholars.

    Alex slips off her headphones and savors the sensation of stillness in silence while the crowd dances on at Oslo’s hot new silent disco. She is conducting her dream field research on sound and attention when a handsome stranger beckons to her from across the dance floor. Hoping for a little warmth in Norway’s cold climate, she follows him -- going from anthropology PhD student to murder suspect. With the Norwegian police and a killer closing in, Alex is stranded in a country where every puzzle piece is slightly out of place. While dyslexia makes reading Norwegian difficult, it also gifts her an uncanny ability to read people. Soon she is channeling Ms. Marple as much as Margaret Meade, as she re-places puzzle pieces and navigates the sharp edges of the frosty Fjord in an attempt to free herself and return home.
