The Whistling Season

2007 y.
Publisher: Harcourt
Description: Can`t cook but doesn`t bite.` So begins the newspaper ad offering the services of an `A-1 housekeeper, sound morals, exceptional disposition` that draws the hungry attention of widower Oliver Milliron in the fall of 1909. And so begins the unforgettable season that deposits the noncooking, nonbiting, ever-whistling Rose Llewellyn and her font-of-knowledge brother, Morris Morgan, in Marias Coulee along with a stampede of homesteaders drawn by the promise of the Big Ditch-a gargantuan irrigation project intended to make the Montana prairie bloom. When the schoolmarm runs off with an itinerant preacher, Morris is pressed into service, setting the stage for the `several kinds of education`-none of them of the textbook variety-Morris and Rose will bring to Oliver, his three sons, and the rambunctious students in the region`s one-room schoolhouse. A paean to a vanished way of life and the eccentric individuals and idiosyncratic institutions that made it fertile, The Whistling SeasonЕ [detailed...]

Description: Book Description By the author of In Legend Born It is a time of vast changes in the island nation of Sileria. Oppressed for centuries by one conqueror after another, this land of fierce pride and ancient rivalries awaited the prophesied Firebringer, who would free them. Josarian, a mountain peasant, survived his leap into the volcano to become the Firebringer. He united the impoverished shallaheen, the magical fire-wielding Guardians, and the vastly powerful mages known as Waterlords in an unprecedented alliance that defeated the foreign Valdani who had ruled Sileria for too long. But now Josarian is dead, betrayed by the alliance and slain by the ice-dragon of Kiloran, the most powerful Waterlord in Sileria. Tansen, JosarianТs second-in-command, has taken up the banner of independence, and leads the shallaheen and the Guardians against the Waterlords so that Sileria can be free of a tyranny far worse than Valdani rule.

Publisher: Vintage
Description: `The White Guard` is the first major work of Mikhail Bulgakov, author of `The Master and Margarita`, and is the only one of his novels to be even part-published during his lifetime. Drawing closely on Bulgakov`s experiences of the horrors of civil war, the book opens in 1918, in the German-occupied city of Kiev. Petlyura`s Socialists are camped outside awaiting their moment while the Bolsheviks watch, contemplating their buried armaments. This is a time of revolution and turmoil, a time of waiting and uncertainly. Here we meet the Turbin family, and watch as each member of this extraordinarily resilient and proud group of people makes his or her choice and is forced, one way or another, to come to terms with the new regime.

Then again, if youТre not a white guy, this is the ultimate insider`s guide to the minds of the men responsible for everything that`s wrong with the world or your life: apartheid, colonialism, ethnic cleansing, the glass ceiling, patriarchy, serial killing, NASCAR, K-telЃ Records, even the theft of rock СnТ roll.

The White House Boys: An American Tragedy

2009 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Hidden far from sight, deep in the thick underbrush of the North Florida woods are the ghostly graves of more than thirty unidentified bodies, some of which are thought to be children who were beaten to death at the old Florida Industrial School for Boys at Marianna. It is suspected that many more bodies will be found in the fields and swamplands surrounding the institution. Investigations into the unmarked graves have compelled many grown men to come forward and share their stories of the abuses they endured and the atrocities they witnessed in the 1950s and 1960s at the institution. The White House Boys: An American Tragedy is the true story of the horrors recalled by Roger Dean Kiser, one of the boys incarcerated at the facility in the late fifties for the crime of being a confused, unwanted, and wayward child. In a style reminiscent of the works of Mark Twain, Kiser recollects the horrifying verbal, sexual, and physical abuse he and other innocent young boys endured at theЕ [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionPerhaps not southerners in the usual sense, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, and Lyndon B. Johnson each demonstrated a political style and philosophy that helped them influence the South and unite the country in ways that few otherpresidents have. Combining vivid biography and political insight, William E. Leuchtenburg offers an engaging account of relations between these three presidents and the South while also tracing how the region came to embrace a national perspective without losing its distinctive sense of place. According to Leuchtenburg, each man `had one foot below the Mason-Dixon Line, one foot above.` Roosevelt, a New Yorker, spent much of the last twenty-five years of his life in Warm Springs, Georgia, where he built a `Little White House.` Truman, a Missourian, grew up in a pro-Confederate town but one that also looked West because of its history as the entrepot for the Oregon Trail.

William Easterly
The White Man`s Burden: Why the West`s Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good

2006 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: An informed and excoriating attack on the tragic waste, futility, and hubris of the West`s efforts to date to improve the lot of the so-called developing world, with constructive suggestions on how to move forward. William Easterly`s The White Man`s Burden is about what its author calls the twin tragedies of global poverty. The first, of course, is that so many are seemingly fated to live horribly stunted, miserable lives and die such early deaths. The second is that after fifty years and more than $2.3 trillion in aid from the West to address the first tragedy, it has shockingly little to show for it. We`ll never solve the first tragedy, Easterly argues, unless we figure out the second. The ironies are many: We preach a gospel of freedom and individual accountability, yet we intrude in the inner workings of other countries through bloated aid bureaucracies like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank that are accountable to no one for the effectsЕ [detailed...]
