Summary

In "Lucy Stone: Pioneer of Women's Rights," Alice Stone Blackwell eloquently chronicles the life and achievements of Lucy Stone, a vanguard of the American women's rights movement. Adopting a biographical narrative interwoven with compelling social commentary, Blackwell highlights Stone's relentless fight for equality, her groundbreaking role in securing women's right to vote, and her advocacy for abolition. The book's literary style is both engaging and scholarly, featuring rich historical context that situates Stone's work within the broader tapestry of 19th-century reform movements and feminist thought. Alice Stone Blackwell, a prominent women's rights activist and Lucy Stone's daughter, brings an intimate understanding of her subject to this work. Her upbringing in a household dedicated to social reform undoubtedly influenced her desire to honor and articulate her mother's contributions. Blackwell's voice is authoritative yet personal, reflecting not just an academic interest but a deep familial connection to the struggles and aspirations that defined her mother's life. This book is a must-read for those interested in women's rights, American history, or the evolution of social justice movements. Blackwell's intricate portrayal of Lucy Stone not only serves as an essential biography but also inspires contemporary readers to continue the pursuit of equality and justice in their own lives.

    Leah Myers may be the last member of the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe in her family line, due to her tribe's strict blood quantum laws. In this unflinching and intimate memoir, Myers excavates the stories of four generations of women in order to leave a record of her family. Beginning with her great-grandmother, the last full-blooded Native member in their lineage, she connects each woman with her totem to construct her family's totem pole: protective Bear, defiant Salmon, compassionate Hummingbird, and perched on top, Raven. 
     
     
     
    As she pieces together their stories, Myers weaves in tribal folktales, the history of the Native genocide, and Native mythology. She tells the larger story of how, as she puts it, her "culture is being bleached out," offering sharp vignettes of her own life between White and Native worlds: her naïve childhood love for Pocahontas, her struggles with the Klallam language, the violence she faced at the hands of a close White friend as a teenager. 
     
     
     
    Crisp and powerful, Thinning Blood is at once a bold reclamation of one woman's identity and a searingly honest meditation on heritage, family, and what it means to belong.

    This program is read by the author.“This is a great audiobook for nature lovers, carpenters, and people who dream of their hobby becoming their day job.”—AudioFileA memoir of the author's journey from an office job to restoring a cabin in the Pacific Northwest, based on his wildly popular Outside Magazine piece.Wit’s End isn’t just a state of mind. It’s the name of a gravel road, the address of a rundown, off-the-grid cabin, 120 shabby square feet of fixer-upper Patrick Hutchison purchased on a whim in the mossy woods of the Cascade Mountains in Washington state.To say Hutchison didn’t know what he was getting into is no more an exaggeration than to say he’s a man with nearly zero carpentry skills. Well, used to be. You can learn a lot over six years of renovations. CABIN is the story of those renovations, but it's also a love story; of a place, of possibilities, and of the process of construction, of seeing what could be instead of what is. It is an audiobook for those who know what it’s like to bite off more than you can chew, or who desperately wish to.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

    In 1915, the world is in turmoil. A war, the likes of which has never been seen, involves much of the known world. An Englishman, John Norton Griffiths, proposes using miners to tunnel under the enemy lines and destroy them from below. Once his idea is accepted, other countries of 
    the Empire decide to raise similar tunnelling companies. Canada, New Zealand and Australia provide companies of men, drawn from mining and trades backgrounds, to assist in the defeat of an aggressive enemy, intent on domination.
     
    These men are asked to do the unthinkable, in less than satisfactory settings. They dig long tunnels and blow up hundreds of men at a time, whilst all the time, not knowing how close the enemy was to them, trying to do the same thing. For these men it was a war in the dark, a war of 
    nerves. Some held, some did not.
     
    We follow the life of one man through his wars, the one he is fighting without and the one he is fighting within, whilst at the same time, he falls in love, however improbable it may seem. We experience how the decisions of one person can continue to impact several generations after.
