Sinopse

In "The Hardy Country," Charles G. Harper intricately weaves a rich tapestry of the landscape, culture, and people of Thomas Hardy's Wessex. Employing a vivid and evocative literary style, Harper paints an impressionistic picture that captures the essence of this iconic region. His detailed descriptions of rural life, folklore, and natural beauty reflect both the geographical nuances and the emotional landscapes that Hardy explored in his own works. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century England, the book serves as a significant literary homage, drawing connections between the region's reality and Hardy's fictional creations. Charles G. Harper, a noted writer and illustrator, had a profound passion for the English countryside that undoubtedly informed his work. An avid traveler and keen observer, Harper's extensive exploration of rural locales, combined with his artistic background, made him uniquely suited to document the romantic allure of Hardy's landscapes. Through detailed engravings and firsthand anecdotes, Harper seeks to not only pay tribute to Hardy's literary legacy but also offer a personal interpretation of Wessex that echoes the sentiments of both Hardy and the Victorian era. "The Hardy Country" is highly recommended for readers interested in English literature, particularly the works of Thomas Hardy, as well as for those who appreciate the intersection of narrative and nature. This book offers a lens through which to appreciate the intricate relationship between author and setting, and it beautifully invites readers to journey through the evocative terrain and rich culture of Hardy's beloved Wessex.

    No Friday Night Lights -...

    No Friday Night Lights is the story of a rural Nevada high school football team that never wins. Veteran reporter John M. Glionna examines the 2022 season in which the McDermitt Bulldogs practiced for weeks in the summer only to learn once again that they had come up short of the necessary players due to the dwindling population on the Fort McDermitt Indian Reservation on the Nevada-Oregon border. 
     
     
     
    Eight-man football helps give the coaches and kids a sense of community—despite a lack of wins, and despite their home's status as one of the most remote locations for a public school in the West. Glionna's relationships with coaches, players, parents—and even those McDermitt residents remotely connected to high school football—provide telling insights into local lives, many of them from the Paiute and Shoshone tribes of Fort McDermitt. Although victory and recognition elude the players, Glionna illuminates their hard work and dedication—leaving the listener with glimpses of life on the ground in "flyover" country.

    Familiar Violence - A History of...

    Child abuse casts a long shadow over the history of childhood. Across the centuries there are numerous accounts of children being beaten, neglected, sexually assaulted, or even killed by those closest to them. This book explores this darker side of childhood history, looking at what constituted cruelty towards children in the past and at the social responses towards it. Focusing primarily on England, it is a history of violence against children in their own homes, covering a large timeframe which extends from medieval times to the present. 
     
     
     
    Undeniably, the experience of children in the past was often brutal, and children were treated with, what seems to contemporary mores, callousness and cruelty. However, historians have paid far less attention to how the mistreatment of children was understood within its contemporary context. Most parents, both now and in the past, loved their children and there have always been widely shared understandings of the boundaries that separate the acceptable treatment of children from the intolerable and morally wrong. This book will examine how these boundaries have changed and been contested over time and, in doing so, provides a context to the many forms of violence experienced by children in the past.

    Atlantis is known across the world as a tale from fable. But is this really the truth? 
     
    Wherever we go and into whatever cultural history we delve, we discover a story similar to the one we know about Atlantis. Why would this be? 
     
    Finding the key to this strange conundrum is something thousands of men and women across the globe have struggled to do. But there are good reasons for their lack of concrete discovery. They have all been looking in the wrong place, at the wrong people and for the wrong thing. For too long historians have focused on a few words left to us by Plato and misunderstood what he was really telling us. The fact is, even Plato didn't understand what had been told to him. 
     
    But what about joining the dots? Across the world there are remnants and legends of a mystical past, left undiscovered by our misunderstanding. The real Atlantis can and will only be discovered by seeing the bigger picture. Because Atlantis is all around you right now.
