Synopsis

In "Myths and Tales from the White Mountain Apache," Pliny Earle Goddard meticulously compiles and analyzes a rich tapestry of Apache folklore, offering readers a window into the cultural essence of the White Mountain Apache tribe. Combining vivid storytelling with ethnographic documentation, Goddard employs a narrative style that preserves the oral tradition while situating these myths within the broader context of Native American literature and anthropology. His collection encompasses various themes'Äîfrom creation stories and cosmology to moral lessons and the interplay between humans and the supernatural'Äîillustrating both the complexity and beauty of Apache beliefs and values. Pliny Earle Goddard, an influential American linguistic anthropologist and an advocate for the preservation of indigenous cultures, dedicated much of his career to studying the languages and narratives of Native American tribes. His extensive fieldwork among the White Mountain Apache not only provided rich material for this volume but also reflected his deep respect for their cultural heritage. Goddard's commitment to authenticity and scholarly rigor underscores his role as a steward of Apache narratives, ensuring that these stories are not only preserved but understood within their cultural framework. I highly recommend "Myths and Tales from the White Mountain Apache" to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Native American folklore. This work is essential for scholars, students, and casual readers alike, as it not only entertains but also enlightens, bridging the gap between the past and present through the enduring power of storytelling.

    The Anti-Federalists, in Herbert J. Storing’s view, are somewhat paradoxically entitled to be counted among the Founding Fathers and to share in the honor and study devoted to the founding. “If the foundations of the American polity was laid by the Federalists,” he writes, “the Anti-Federalist reservations echo through American history; and it is in the dialogue, not merely in the Federalist victory, that the country’s principles are to be discovered.” It was largely through their efforts, he reminds us, that the Constitution was so quickly amended to include a bill of rights.Storing here offers a brilliant introduction to the thought and principles of the Anti-Federalists as they were understood by themselves and by other men and women of their time. His comprehensive exposition restores to our understanding the Anti-Federalist share in the founding its effect on some of the enduring themes and tensions of American political life. The concern with big government and infringement of personal liberty one finds in the writings of these neglected Founders strikes a remarkably timely note.

    In Hitler's Army, Omer Bartov focuses on the titanic struggle between Germany and the Soviet Union—where the vast majority of German troops fought—to show how the savagery of war reshaped the army in Hitler's image. Both brutalized and brutalizing, these soldiers needed to see their bitter sacrifices as noble patriotism and to justify their own atrocities by seeing their victims as subhuman. In the unprecedented ferocity and catastrophic losses of the Eastern front, soldiers embraced the idea that the war was a defense of civilization against Jewish/Bolshevik barbarism, a war of racial survival to be waged at all costs. Bartov describes the incredible scale and destruction of the invasion of Russia in horrific detail. Even in the first months—often depicted as a time of easy victories—undermanned and ill-equipped German units were stretched to the breaking point by vast distances and bitter Soviet resistance. Bartov goes on to explore letters, diaries, military reports, and other sources, showing how widespread Hitler's views became among common fighting men—men who grew up, he reminds us, under the Nazi regime. In the end, they truly became Hitler's army. 
     
     
     
    This book sheds new light on how deeply Nazi ideology penetrated the nation. Hitler's Army makes an important correction not merely to the historical record but to how we see the world today.

    We cannot control when hardships in life happen, but we can control how we overcome them. Born in 1935 while the Great Depression was in full swing, Dudley M. Sims had no idea the incredible life full of obstacles as well as blessings he would live. Through a series of stories and completed by his wife, Andrea K. Sims, after his passing, Overcoming the Odds of Life illuminates the strength he had to be an overcomer, the love he and his wife shared that she continues to feel to this day, and the unforgettable legacy he left behind. Witness his journey as he: - Started school when World War II began - Got his first job at the age of nine as a car hop - Received the second lobectomy ever performed after having tuberculosis - Moved to New Orleans where he met the love of his life - Accepted Jesus as his Savior in 1957 - Formed many companies, union and non union - Became one of the largest contractors of plumbing, heating and air conditioning around With his passing in 2007, Andrea finished what Dudley had started to pass on the inspiration of this wonderful and kind man, father, and husband. His story is one that proves through hard work and never giving up, one can accomplish great things in life with God as one's Helper. Andrea K. Sims grew up in Crystal Springs, Mississippi. At the age of seventeen, she moved to New Orleans where she met Dudley. They moved to Centerville, Louisiana after they married and raised three children together. They were together for fifty-three years before Dudley passed. At the age of ninety, she was inspired to finish her late-husband's book in hopes that, with the Lord's help and a lot of hard work, she could show people that they can accomplish just about anything they want to.
