The Raven and the Boulders by Annie Blue,Jerry Lipka Pdf
A mischievous raven finds out the hard way what can happen when you mock the forces of nature. In this book, the story of the raven and the boulders is told twice: once as Elder and master storyteller Annie Blue traditionally told it and again as an illustrated “storyknife” version. Storyknifing is a literary form that combines an oral presentation with quickly drawn illustrations that represent a particular scene. As soon as a scene has been completed and told, the teller will erase the illustrations and start over with new drawings for the next scene. In this book, the storyknifing illustrations are presented in their final form for each scene. Like other Yup'ik stories in the Math in a Cultural Context series, Akagyugnarli: The Raven Story and the Boulders subtly teaches embedded Yup'ik values about how to live.

Why the Raven Calls the Canyon by E. Dan Klepper Pdf
Fresno Ranch, an abandoned horse and mule operation located in a remote stretch of the Rio Grande River bordering Mexico, gives evidence of a human presence spanning centuries. The ranch saw a period of entrepreneurial mule breeding and ranching, and ownership by Texas artist and publishing heiress Jeanne Norsworthy, who built an off-the-grid, hand-constructed adobe studio on the premises. Photographer and freelance writer E. Dan Klepper spent seven years, off and on, living and working at Fresno Ranch. By 2008, when the 7,000-acre property was acquired by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to become part of Big Bend Ranch State Park, the adobe studio dwelling and its associated structures had been sitting vacant for almost ten years—many rugged miles from the nearest electrical power line or municipal water system. Between 2006 and 2013, Klepper assisted his friend Rodrigo Trevizo, park ranger and caretaker for the property, with the various chores required to keep the ranch in operating condition. The two excavated and repaired the primary water network, cared for the livestock, cleared brush, and maintained a small, solar-powered electrical system. Days of 110-degree heat, boiling water for washing and cooking, and keeping a wary eye out for rattlesnakes alternated with evenings spent in the flicker of kerosene lanterns, listening to the rasping of the ravens as they scoured the canyon in the gathering dark. In vivid images and well-considered prose, Klepper reflects on his experiences at Fresno Ranch, “witnessing the unfolding of a natural world unfettered by the overpowering human footprint that has dominated so many of our remaining wild places.” For aficionados of fine art photography, cultural and natural history enthusiasts, and fans of the Big Bend region and its austere beauty, Why the Raven Calls the Canyon offers a provocative visual journal of off-the-grid living that celebrates the unique landscape of the Big Bend.
Neville is just an ordinary guy until an evil force known as Lord Dagos enlists him to help rule the world. In return for his cooperation, Dagos promises him immortality. Participation is not an option, and success doesn’t necessarily guarantee safety. The Forgotten God II: Quest for Vengeance follows Neville, who was granted immortality, but is sent to perish in Tartarus because he knows too much about Lord Dagos. After being betrayed by the fearful Dagos, Neville realizes he must escape Tartarus. He vows to find the lord and kill him. He meets an array of people who aid him on his journey to remove his enemy. If Neville thought the opponents he faced when freeing Dagos were tough, he’s in for a surprise on this new mission. Titans walk the earth; giant sea creatures rule the ocean; and Kronos the King of the Titans has been released. Will Neville succeed and defeat the powerful Lord Dagos? There is only one way to find out.

"In exchange for billions in defaulted bonds, the bankrupt State of New York is about to transfer four million acres of Adirondack Park land to a development consortium of Chinese and Saudi banks. Catastrophic climate change and collapse of the debt-driven U.S. economy have devastated the dream that was America. But when a twenty-second-century adventurer discovers he is lost in the Adirondacks--and it is 1832--there is hope that America has one last chance to get it right, before everything goes terribly wrong."--Back cover.
Worldviews of the Greenlanders by Birgitte Sonne Pdf
Ninety years ago, Knud Rasmussen’s popular account of his scientific expeditions through Greenland and North America introduced readers to the culture and history of arctic Natives. In the intervening century, a robust field of ethnographic research has grown around the Inuit and Yupiit of North America—but, until now, English-language readers have had little access to the broad corpus of work on Greenlandic natives. Worldviews of the Greenlanders draws upon extensive Danish and Greenlandic research on Inuit arctic peoples—as well as Birgitte Sonne’s own decades of scholarship and fieldwork—to present in rich detail the key symbols and traditional beliefs of Greenlandic Natives, as well as the changes brought about by contact with colonial traders and Christian missionaries. It includes critical updates to our knowledge of the Greenlanders’ pre-colonial world and their ideas on space, time, and other worldly beings. This expansive work will be a touchstone of Arctic Native studies for academics who wish to expand their knowledge past the boundaries of North America.
