Overprotective Cowboy by Elana Johnson Pdf

Cowboys looking for a second chance at life, love, and happiness. Ted Burrows is ready to start his life over again, even if he has to go to a work-parole ranch to get out from behind the walls that have caged him for the past thirty months. He's got a contact at Hope Eternal Ranch, and the day he gets word that he'll be released into the Residential Reentry Program and serve out the rest of his sentence under the open sky of the ranch is the best day of his life so far. But when he meets Emma Clemson, he's completely thrown off his game. He knows her...from somewhere. She doesn't seem to recognize him, though, and as they work together on the organization of the programs and tourism of the ranch, their newfound flame flickers and brightens. Emma has managed to isolate herself on the ranch and keep her ex out of her life, and she's finally achieved some level of peace and happiness. Ted's name does tickle a memory, but she pushes against it as she wants to leave the past where it belongs—in the past. When Emma's ex-boyfriend comes back into her life and reminds her of who Ted is, her carefully constructed existence unravels. She and Ted have met before, and not under pleasant circumstances. She's not that woman anymore, and she doesn't want Ted to even think of her as the woman she'd once been. She knows he's not the same man he was a decade ago either. When he sees Emma's unrest, Ted's overprotective side kicks in—a side that has gotten him in trouble before... Can Ted and Emma face their pasts so they can truly be ready to step into the future together? Or will everything between them fall apart once the truth comes out?

Her Rugged Cowboy by Cameron Hart Pdf

**Jade: I wasn't sure what to expect when I came back to my small hometown in east Texas, but it certainly wasn't the tall, chiseled, too handsome ranch foreman, Noah. I never thought I'd be back here after moving to Denver four years ago, but when I got the call that my daddy died unexpectedly, it was up to me to tie up loose ends and sell the ranch. Except the ranch is a mess and Noah keeps hanging around and checking on me and wiping away my tears as I work through the complicated emotions of being back home. Home. This place has never been home, but one look in Noah's warm, brown, understanding eyes, and I think maybe I've found where I belong. **Noah: I remember Jade from when I first started working at Rivera Ranch four years ago. She was too young for me to appreciate then, but now that she's back, I can't take my eyes off of her fiery red hair, soft curves, and bright eyes full of depth and sorrow. She had her reasons for leaving, though I don't know what they are. I'm determined to find out all of her secrets, including whatever she's running from back in Denver. She might not be ready for a cowboy like me, but I'll help her fight through her demons and prove to her we belong together. **Her Rugged Cowboy is the first book in the Roped in by Love series and can be read as a standalone. Jade thinks she has to fix everything on her own, but Noah proves to her again and again that he'll always be there. There's plenty of steam, a sweet happily ever after, and enough drama to keep things interesting!

Cowboy Presidents by David A. Smith Pdf

For an element so firmly fixed in American culture, the frontier myth is surprisingly flexible. How else to explain its having taken two such different guises in the twentieth century—the progressive, forward-looking politics of Rough Rider president Teddy Roosevelt and the conservative, old-fashioned character and Cold War politics of Ronald Reagan? This is the conundrum at the heart of Cowboy Presidents, which explores the deployment and consequent transformation of the frontier myth by four U.S. presidents: Theodore Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush. Behind the shape-shifting of this myth, historian David A. Smith finds major events in American and world history that have made various aspects of the “Old West” frontier more relevant, and more useful, for promoting radically different political ideologies and agendas. And these divergent adaptations of frontier symbolism have altered the frontier myth. Theodore Roosevelt, with his vigorous pursuit of an activist federal government, helped establish a version of the frontier myth that today would be considered liberal. But then, Smith shows, a series of events from the Lyndon Johnson through Jimmy Carter presidencies—including Vietnam, race riots, and stagflation—seemed to give the lie to the progressive frontier myth. In the wake of these crises, Smith’s analysis reveals, the entire structure and popular representation of frontier symbols and images in American politics shifted dramatically from left to right, and from liberal to conservative, with profound implications for the history of American thought and presidential politics. The now popular idea that “frontier American” leaders and politicians are naturally Republicans with conservative ideals flows directly from the Reagan era. Cowboy Presidents gives us a new, clarifying perspective on how Americans shape and understand their national identity and sense of purpose; at the same time, reflecting on the essential mutability of a quintessentially national myth, the book suggests that the next iteration of the frontier myth may well be on the horizon.

Cable Cowboy by Mark Robichaux Pdf

An inside look at a cable titan and his industry John Malone, hailed as one of the great unsung heroes of our age by some and reviled by others as a ruthless robber baron, is revealed as a bit of both in Cable Cowboy. For more than twenty-five years, Malone has dominated the cable television industry, shaping the world of entertainment and communications, first with his cable company TCI and later with Liberty Media. Written with Malone's unprecedented cooperation, the engaging narrative brings this controversial capitalist and businessman to life. Cable Cowboy is at once a penetrating portrait of Malone's complex persona, and a captivating history of the cable TV industry. Told in a lively style with exclusive details, the book shows how an unassuming copper strand started as a backwoods antenna service and became the digital nervous system of the U.S., an evolution that gave U.S. consumers the fastest route to the Internet. Cable Cowboy reveals the forces that propelled this pioneer to such great heights, and captures the immovable conviction and quicksilver mind that have defined John Malone throughout his career.

U.S. Militarism and the Terrain of Memory by John Bechtold Pdf

This book analyzes how the Iraqi city of Fallujah became registered as a setting for military heroics in American memory. In 2004, the U.S. military conducted two disastrous assaults in Fallujah, Iraq. More than 1,000 citizens were killed, and, according to the military’s own estimate, upwards of 200,000 people were displaced because of the violence. Yet, despite this human catastrophe, the kind of information that emerged in the public domain during the battle foregrounded the soldier's experience in war while effacing the destruction of Iraqi bodies. This tendency to foreground the soldier body is a direct result of the military’s intervention in what they conceptualize as the "information environment." This book draws from the second assault in Fallujah as a case study to explicate the military’s investment in this perspectival space, which is a consequence both of the mediatization of contemporary war and of the need to influence knowledge considered unfavorable to military operations. In short, the military enlists the media in their targeting process to produce information that is then deployed as persuasive force to modify the beliefs of specific target populations. When the cultural texts produced by the media are remediated in the public domain after war, they can be thought of as martial constructs because they originated during war through the military’s systemized attempt to influence knowledge. That is, these texts trace to a specific battlefield objective. This book reframes the notion of propaganda as a generalized public relations strategy into a more acute and coordinated attempt to decontextualize specific knowledge in the information environment. This book will be of much interest to students of media and communication studies, war studies, memory studies, and international relations.

Prep School Cowboys by Melissa Bingmann Pdf

Ranch schools in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Wyoming in the 1920s and 1930s portrayed that the West embodied the moral attributes believed to be lacking in urban America. Advocates of character education saw the courage and self-reliance of the Old West as the qualities necessary to preserve the nation through the next generation. Bingmann uses ranch schools, designed to counteract the problems of inherited wealth, as a lens through which to examine citizenship, class, gender, and region during this era while illustrating that these schools, in transmitting such values to American youth, created a network of elite private schools that gave pampered boys from the urban centers of the Atlantic Seaboard and Great Lakes region the opportunity to grow into gentlemen cowboys ready to take the reins of power in family businesses and government.
