Sinopsis

In "Calendar History of the Kiowa Indians," James Mooney meticulously chronicles the rich cultural tapestry and historical evolution of the Kiowa people through an innovative blend of ethnographic narrative and historical documentation. Drawing upon his extensive fieldwork and interviews with Kiowa elders, Mooney presents a compelling account that integrates oral traditions with meticulous attention to detail, offering insights into their complex social structure, rituals, and seasonal cycles. The book, written in the early 20th century, is situated within the broader context of American ethnology, reflecting a burgeoning interest in indigenous cultures during a time when many were facing significant historical upheaval. James Mooney was a pioneering ethnographer whose work primarily centered on Native American cultures. His dedication to preserving indigenous histories stemmed from his belief in the importance of marginalized voices in the historical narrative. Having spent significant time among the Kiowa, Mooney's intimate and respectful approach highlights his commitment to understanding their worldview, making his insights not only knowledgeable but deeply nuanced regarding their traditions and transitions during a period of change. For scholars and enthusiasts of indigenous studies alike, "Calendar History of the Kiowa Indians" is a crucial work that elucidates the interplay of history and culture within the Kiowa community. Mooney's eloquent prose and commitment to authenticity make this book an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand the resilience and heritage of the Kiowa people.

    Before Bob and Barry, even before Bud, there was Bennie, and he might have been the best of them all. He was certainly the most innovative. Best remembered as the mentor of the University of Oklahoma's football team from 1905 through 1926, Bennie Owen also coached baseball and basketball and served as the director of athletics. He retired as intramural director at the age of seventy-five. A visionary and a builder, he exerted the driving force that created the university's Memorial Stadium, one field house, Memorial Union building, men's swimming pool, baseball field and bleachers, concrete tennis courts, nine-hole golf course and intramural playing fields. A true man of all seasons, he laid the foundation for a Sooner tradition of excellence--in football and beyond.

    Since the Chornobyl nuclear disaster in April 1986, the area remains a toxic, forbidden wasteland. The zone has become a place for meditation at the edge of geography where you can lose yourself. As with all dangerous places, this terra incognita attracts a wild assortment of adventurers who climb over the barbed wire illegally to witness the aftermath of catastrophe in the flesh. Breaking the law here is a pilgrimage: a metamodern sacred experience that coexists with thrash. 
     
     
     
    Markiyan Kamysh, whose father worked as an on-site disaster liquidator of Chornobyl, works as a "stalker," guiding people who dare to venture into the disaster area for thrills. Kamysh tells us about thieves who hide in the abandoned buildings, the policemen who chase them, and the romantic utopists who have built families here, even as deadly toxic waste lingers in the buildings, playgrounds, and streams. 
     
     
     
    More than extraordinary guide to this alien world, Kamysh writes with a singular style that is both brash and bold, conferring an understated elegance to this dystopian reality. Stalking the Atomic City is a haunting account of what total autonomy could mean in our growingly fractured world.

    This is a compilation of 3 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
    1: Charles Dickens is often remembered because of his Christmas Carol. And even though that is a very interesting novel, it wasn’t even his favorite. Some artists and authors claim that a work of art or a novel should be completely separated from the creator. Personally, I completely disagree. I think you can always find traces of psychology in a person’s work that are related to the things they experienced in their personal lives. And so, without further ado, I encourage you to pick up this short informational book. It will lay out some of the most important characters from his most famous novels and give you the background you need to understand the motives and creativity behind them. 
    2: Perhaps you have heard of Edgar Allan Poe. Perhaps not. Either way, this 19th-century author has received quite some fame for his works and his unique style. His mystery and gruesome horror stories, comedy, and other genres have reached far into the depths of American literature. Edgar Allan Poe had a life, a background worth studying. His experiences have led him to his career success, his published works, and many other honors. 
    3: Oscar Wilde was a wild one. His statements were bold, his career was successful, and his tongue was sharp. Not only did he disturb the common narrative of the nuclear family, the Catholic church, and the idea of patriotism, but he also blew many people away with his defense of his principles, his criticism on the state, philosophies on life itself, and more. Being open about being a homosexual in a time when it was unaccepted and even illegal, his life ended in imprisonment and exile. Yet, despite his orientation and his controversial preferences, his prose and poetry did not suffer. His travels through Europe taught him many fascinating lessons, which he expressed in his acting, his writing, etc.
