Sinopsis

In "Calendar History of the Kiowa Indians (Illustrated Edition)," James Mooney presents a meticulous chronicle of the Kiowa nation, blending ethnographic observation with scholarly rigor. This work is structured around the traditional Kiowa calendar, depicting significant events and cultural practices that shaped their collective identity. Mooney's literary style is marked by a rich descriptive quality and attentiveness to oral traditions, providing a valuable insight into the complexities of Kiowa life. The illustrations serve to enhance the narrative, offering a vivid visual representation of the culture that is both informative and engaging, placing the work in the broader context of ethnological studies in the late 19th century. James Mooney, an influential ethnographer and anthropologist, dedicated his career to the study of Native American cultures, motivated by a profound respect for their traditions. His extensive fieldwork among the Kiowa and other tribes allowed him to gather firsthand accounts and artifacts, fostering a deep understanding of their cultural heritage. Mooney's commitment to accurately documenting Indigenous histories played a crucial role in a time when such narratives were often marginalized. This illustrated edition is highly recommended for readers interested in Native American studies, anthropology, and cultural history. It serves as both an academic resource and a testament to the resilience of the Kiowa people, inviting readers to explore the intersections of history and identity through Mooney's authoritative lens.

    Afternoons with Harper Lee

    Imagine sitting with an esteemed writer on his or her front porch somewhere in the world and swapping life stories. Dr. Wayne Flynt got the opportunity to do just this with Nelle Harper Lee. In a friendship that blossomed over a dozen years starting when Lee relocated back to Alabama after having had a stroke, Flynt and his wife Dartie became regular visitors at the assisted living facility that was Lee's new home. And there the conversation began, with an invitation to "Come in, sit down, and stay a while." 
     
     
     
    The stories exchanged ranged widely over the topics of Alabama history, Alabama folklore, family genealogy, and American literature, of course. Wayne and his wife were often joined by Alice Lee, the oldest Lee sister, a living encyclopedia on the subject of family genealogy, and middle sister Louise Lee Conner. 
     
     
     
    The hours spent visiting, in intimate closeness, are still cherished by Wayne Flynt. They yielded revelations large and small, which have been shaped into Afternoons with Harper Lee. Part memoir, part biography, this book offers a unique window into the life and mind and preoccupations of one of America's best-loved writers. Flynt and Harper Lee and her sisters learned a great deal from each other, and though this is not a history book, their shared interest in Alabama and its history made this extraordinary work possible.

    The United States, through its local, state, and national contests, holds more elections, more often, than any democracy in the world. But in recent years, there have been troubling signs that our system of campaigns and elections has become much more fragile and vulnerable. More specifically, in the past twenty years, campaigns have changed profoundly: social media and viral messaging compete with traditional media, races once considered local in nature have become nationalized, Supreme Court decisions on campaign finance law now encourage mega-donors, voters are more polarized, party affiliation has waned, and the middle ideological ground has given way to extremist language and voter rage. 
     
     
     
    This new edition of Campaigns, Elections, and the Threat to Democracy: What Everyone Needs to Know® offers the most up-to-date examination of campaigns, elections, and future threats to voting and democracy. It will also include new data on voter participation, voter fraud, reapportionment post-2020 census, party polarization, campaign finance, and more. 
     
     
     
    Given the fragility of our election process, what are the threats to a healthy American democracy? This is not simply a book on how campaigns are run, but why campaigns and elections are integral components of American democracy and how those fundamental elements may be vulnerable to misuse.
