Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "The Collected Works of James Willard Schultz," readers are invited into a richly woven tapestry of narratives that illuminate the nuances of Native American life as experienced through Schultz's unique lens. His literary style marries vivid, descriptive prose with a deep, empathetic understanding of the indigenous cultures of the American West, offering both anthropological insight and poignant storytelling. The collection highlights Schultz's keen observations, reflecting the broader literary context of early 20th-century American literature, where themes of nature, identity, and cultural intersectionality come to the forefront, revealing the complexities of life on the frontier. James Willard Schultz, a pioneer of early ethnographic literature, was deeply influenced by his years spent among the Blackfeet tribe in Montana. His early experiences as a fur trader and his gradual transition into an advocate for Native American rights inspired him to document their stories, bridging the gap between their traditions and the encroaching pressures of modernity. Schultz's commitment to authentic representation serves not only as a testament to his dedication but also as an important historical record of a time when indigenous voices were often marginalized. This remarkable collection is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of literature and cultural history. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find Schultz's sympathetic portrayals and rich storytelling to be both enlightening and moving, making "The Collected Works of James Willard Schultz" a vital contribution to the dialogue surrounding Native American literature and history.

It's What You Do Next - The Fall...

Megan Barry

In 2015, after a historic run-off election, Megan Barry became the first female mayor of Nashville, Tennessee. Quickly becoming one of the most popular progressive politicians in the Bible Belt, Barry was a beloved leader with a sky-high approval rating and an unshakable hope for a new, forward-thinking, modern South. For her first few years in office, she was one of the most important voices at the table—until she became the most notorious. 
 
 
 
Barry loved three things the most in the world—her son, Max, her husband, Bruce, and her job as the mayor of Nashville . . . until she lost two of them. Her monumental lapse in judgment led to a painful public reckoning and the fall of her rising political career. A battle with substance-use disorder robbed her of her only child. Grief, pride, shame, longing, and resentment nearly destroyed her marriage. Barry has to start again, the right way, with humility, hope, and a wicked sense of humor. 
 
 
 
It's What You Do Next is a deeply honest book about womanhood at home, in politics, and in the spaces between.  Warm, funny, and uncompromisingly honest, Barry speaks to women as their close friend, not their fearless leader, her true self, not always her best self. She gives listeners permission to come as they are and leave knowing that what matters most, is what happens next.

Saddam Hussein - Warmonger...

Kelly Mass

Saddam Hussein, the sixth president of Iraq, held power from July 16, 1979, until his downfall on April 9, 2003. A central figure in Iraq's political history, Saddam was a founding member of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, which advocated for a fusion of Arab nationalism and socialism, known as Ba'athism. The party's rise to power in Iraq was marked by the 1968 coup, often referred to as the 17 July Revolution, which saw the Ba'ath Party assume control. Saddam, a key figure in the party, was instrumental in establishing its dominance in Iraq.
Saddam's path to the presidency was shaped by his political astuteness and ruthless consolidation of power. He became vice president under General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, who was severely weakened by ill health. At a time when numerous factions within the country threatened to destabilize the government, Saddam focused on building and strengthening the security forces that would enable him to suppress dissent. He carefully navigated the complexities of power struggles between the administration and the military, ensuring his influence over both the party and the state apparatus. His careful maneuvering eventually led to his formal assumption of power in 1979, though he had already been Iraq's de facto leader for several years.
In the early 1970s, Saddam took aggressive steps to nationalize Iraq's most important industries, including the Iraq Petroleum Company and various independent banks. This move, though initially successful in securing Iraq's economic independence, led to long-term financial instability. The nationalization policies, combined with inflation and a series of bad loans, contributed to the eventual collapse of Iraq's financial sector. Nevertheless, Saddam's regime was buoyed by the economic boom fueled by Iraq's oil exports, which provided the government with significant wealth and the ability to fund state projects.
