Описание:
Ute Land Religion in the American West, 1879-2009 is a narrative of American religion and how it intersected with land in the American West. Prior to 1881, Utes lived on the largest reservation in North America--twelve million acres of western Colorado. Brandi Denison takes a broad look at the Ute land dispossession and resistance to disenfranchisement by tracing the shifting cultural meaning of dirt, a physical thing, into land, an abstract idea. This shift was made possible through the development and deployment of an idealized American religion based on Enlightenment ideals of individualism, Victorian sensibilities about the female body, and an emerging respect for diversity and commitment to religious pluralism that was wholly dependent on a separation of economics from religion.
As the narrative unfolds, Denison shows how Utes and their Anglo-American allies worked together to systematize a religion out of existing ceremonial practices, anthropological observations, and Euro-American ideals of nature. A variety of societies then used religious beliefs and practices to give meaning to the land, which in turn shaped inhabitants' perception of an exclusive American religion. Ultimately, this movement from the tangible to the abstract demonstrates the development of a normative American religion, one that excludes minorities even as they are the source of the idealized expression.
Brandi Denison is an assistant professor of religious studies in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at the University of North Florida.

Описание:
Some of the greatest football fans in the world purchase seats on the fifty-yard line, but only a select few actually have the privilege of touching the turf. Brandi Jones does not have to imagine standing four quarters on the sidelines of a football game: she was a professional cheerleader in the NFL.
Jones shares a unique perspective from the fifty-yard line as she offers an intriguing look into a professional cheerleader's role on game day. Jones, who started cheerleading at a young age, leads others through her personal journey as she discovered a love for cheering, trained and prepared for the game like an athlete, and fiercely competed for spots on squads. While demonstrating that cheerleading is not really all about hair and makeup, Jones highlights behind-the-scenes realities as she details grueling practices, promotional appearances, and skill requirements, proving that inner strength and grit determine whether a cheerleader succeeds or not.
The View from the Fifty-Yard Line shares a former NFL cheerleader's take on the successes and failures, ups and downs, and glory and pain she experienced while cheering for some of the greatest football teams ever.

Описание:
In the novel-in-fragments, BURN FORTUNE, 16-year-old June is a corn-detasseling flag twirler who lives in a small conservative town in the early 90s Midwest. Her family is dysfunctional but her boyfriend-known only as "My Boyfriend"-has a family who is emotionally and physically abusive. Looking for alternatives to the lives of the women who surround her, June becomes obsessed with the actress Jean Seberg (best known for her starring role in Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless) as well as Joan of Arc. After being raped by an acquaintance, June withdraws and begins to live mostly through Seberg's films. Offered these lives as alternatives to her own, June is left to wonder: Can anyone truly transcend their circumstances, or does having a dream mean death-literally and metaphorically?
PRAISE FOR BURN FORTUNE
"A scorching anthem of what it means to be a young girl in a small town-the dreams that save us and the realities that pull us under. Alive with longing and the desire to break free.
-Mona Awad, Author of Bunny (Viking) and 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl (Penguin)
I'm in awe of how Brandi Homan's Burn Fortune embodies the Midwest's unfurled earth and stretched skies. There's a recurring image of detasseling corn, which is what the book does: everything connected by silky strands unraveling until we get to the core, a new image of grit and possibility. And Homan gracefully gives us the space to participate in the making of that new image. Thank you for the grit, the hope.
-Steven Dunn, Author of Potted Meat and water & power (Tarpaulin Sky)
Описание: Five years ago, popular blogger Brandi Doming (creator of popular blog The Vegan 8) became a vegan, overhauling the way she and her family ate after a health diagnosis for her husband. The effects have been life-changing. Her recipes rely on refreshingly short ingredient lists that are ideal for anyone new to plant-based cooking or seeking simplified, wholesome, family-friendly options for weeknight dinners. All of the recipes are dairy-free and most are oil-free, gluten-free, and nut-free (if not, Brandi offers suitable alternatives), and ideally tailored to meet the needs of an array of health conditions. Each of the 100 recipes uses just 8 or fewer ingredients (not including salt, pepper, or water) to create satisfying, comforting meals from breakfast to dessert that your family--even the non-vegans--will love. Try Bakery-Style Blueberry Muffins, Fool 'Em "Cream Cheese" Spinach-Artichoke Dip, Cajun Veggie and Potato Chowder, Skillet Baked Mac n' Cheese, and No-Bake Chocolate Espresso Fudge Cake.

Описание: The Lantime Fourgot Projects is no place to raise a family; the brick and mortar prison is full of prostitutes, drug slingers, murderers, and gangs. The atmosphere isn't the ideal environment to live in, but for some people with low income, they have no choice but to take residency within those walls. The Taylor family falls into this category. Sisters Monet and April have seen more pain and dealt with more strife in their young lives than any adult twice their age. After witnessing their father being murdered in cold blood, right before their eyes, while returning home from work, their mother has done everything within her power to make sure her daughters don't get caught up in the streetlife. Because of her diligence and faith, she's succeeded in one respect. April never had a run in with the law, is in the top percentile in her high school class, and already is focusing on where she'll be attending college. Now, Monet is a different story. While April tries her best to stay on the straight and narrow, Monet, on the other hand, prefers to take the wide, more traveled path. She quickly becomes the rebellious, bad seed of the family. Ever since her father's death she's been on a road of destruction; not caring about whom she hurts along the way. She begins running with, and building relationships, with the wrong crowd. Monet doesn't fear anything and that's what scares her mother the most. Monet's mother prays something or someone will make her change her ways before it's too late. Will her prayer be answered in time?

Growing up in a small country town, Ben and Fab spend their days playing cricket, wanting a pair of Nike Air Maxes and not talking about how Fab's dad hits him, or how the sudden death of Ben's next-door neighbour unsettled him. Almost teenagers, they already know some things are better left unsaid.
Then a newcomer arrived. Fab reckoned he was a secret agent and he and Ben staked him out. He looked strong. Maybe even stronger than Fab's dad. Neither realised the shadow this man would cast over both their lives.
Twenty years later, Fab is going nowhere but hoping for somewhere better. Then a body is found in the river, and Fab can't ignore the past any more.
