With the Indians in the Rockies - Life & Adventures of Trapper and Trader Thomas Fox

James Willard Schultz

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "With the Indians in the Rockies," James Willard Schultz presents a vivid and detailed account of his experiences among the Native American tribes in the Rocky Mountain region during the late 19th century. Employing a first-person narrative style, Schultz intertwines rich descriptions of the landscape with personal anecdotes that illustrate the cultural practices, spiritual beliefs, and daily lives of the Indigenous peoples he encountered. His work stands as a significant contribution to the genre of Western Americana, offering insights into the often-misunderstood relationships between Indigenous populations and encroaching settlers. The book serves not only as a memoir but also as a crucial historical document reflecting the complexities of cultural exchange and conflict in this transformative period of American history. James Willard Schultz, an explorer, and author, was deeply influenced by his interactions with the Native American tribes during his extensive travels in the American West. His passion for Native cultures and his commitment to preserving their stories can be traced to his early life and his various affiliations with Indigenous communities. Schultz'Äôs unique perspective as a white outsider who embraced and respected Indigenous ways of life enriches his narrative and provides an invaluable window into a world that was rapidly changing during his time. I highly recommend "With the Indians in the Rockies" to readers interested in Native American history, cultural anthropology, and the complexities of settler-Indigenous relations. Schultz'Äôs eloquent prose and respectful portrayal of his subjects make this work an essential read for those seeking to understand the essence of Native American life in the Rocky Mountains and the enduring legacies that continue to resonate today.

French Cinema - A Very Short...

Dudley Andrew

It is often claimed that the French invented cinema. Dominating the production and distribution of cinema until WWI, when they were supplanted by Hollywood, the French cinema industry encompassed all genres, from popular entertainment to avant-garde practice. 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction opens up French cinema through focusing on some of its most notable works, using the lens of the New Wave decade (1958-1968) that changed cinema worldwide. Exploring the entire French cinematic oeuvre, Dudley Andrew teases out distinguishing themes, tendencies, and lineages, to bring what is most crucial about French Cinema into alignment. He discusses how style has shaped the look of female stars and film form alike, analyzing the "made up" aesthetic of many films, and the paradoxical penchant for French cinema to cruelly unmask surface beauty in quests for authenticity. Discussing how French cinema as a whole pits strong-willed characters against auteurs with high-minded ideas of film art, funded by French cinema's close rapport to literature, painting, and music, Dudley considers how the New Wave emerged from these struggles, becoming an emblem of ambition for cinema that persists today. He goes on to show how the values promulgated by the New Wave directors brought the three decades that preceded it into focus, and explores the deep resonance of those values today.

Essay on the Principle of...

Thomas Malthus

Thomas Malthus, an English economist and cleric, published his influential work "An Essay on the Principle of Population" in 1798. The book introduced the idea that population growth would outstrip resources in the long run, leading to catastrophic consequences such as famine, disease, and war.
Malthus argued that population growth was exponential, while resources grew at a much slower arithmetic rate. This meant that over time, the population would inevitably outstrip the ability of the land to produce food, leading to a "positive check" on population growth in the form of famine, disease, or war.
Malthus also identified a "preventative check" on population growth, which he saw as the moral restraint of individuals to delay marriage and childbirth until they could support a family. However, he believed that this restraint would only be effective for the wealthy and educated classes, while the poor would continue to have large families out of necessity.
Malthus's ideas were controversial at the time, as they challenged the prevailing belief in progress and the idea that human ingenuity and technological advances could overcome any resource constraints. However, his ideas gained traction in the 19th century as Europe experienced a series of famines and population pressures, and his work influenced later economists such as David Ricardo and John Stuart Mill.
Critics of Malthus have argued that his predictions did not come to pass, as the world has experienced significant improvements in food production and living standards over the last two centuries. However, Malthus's ideas continue to influence debates on population growth, resource constraints, and environmental sustainability.

Soap Magic Part 3

Kathrin Pissinger

Magic. Mayhem. Soap. 
Who better to ask about soap magic than a psychic, right? Well, I'm not convinced either, but if the soap works on the magically inclined as well as on other people, then that's not an opportunity for me to waste. And this is how I ended up in a pile of pillows, with the psychic under me, over me, and pretty much all around me. And one day, an archaeologist might discover under all those pillows a position we haven't tried yet, but until then, this was more than I had actually hoped for. 
So, well, the third part of Soap Magic gets us through all the things lesbians can do to and with each other, including, but not limited to, pillow sex. Also conains soap.
