Описание: It seems Bonnie and Riordan's union was ordained thousands of years before their meeting in Cody, Wyoming. By whom? And for what purpose? Why did the Pink Lady and her colorful cohorts beguile a lonely, young Bonnie?Bonnie fitfully experiments with her new skills and 'shifting', until, in a tragic moment of self-doubt, she relinquishes all the wonder of her Riordan-inspired life, severely provoking the ultimate test of the shamanic couple's weld and endangering their specific, spirit-path.Swinging from Cody to European caves, to that most liminal of cities- Venice, with its rapscallion fence-walker staging a set amenable to more legends, and hastening back to Cody to forestall death's knell and an horrendous. . ., CATSKILLS TANGO will introduce more of CatSkill's illustrious past, convene the circle in the midst of hell's fire, guide you to a few answers, and perhaps, even better, incite more questions. . .

Описание: Henry James described John Burroughs as a "more humorous, more available, and more sociable Thoreau." Burroughs's close friend and mentor Walt Whitman called him an "Audubon of prose." Throughout his long writing career, the Catskills and Hudson Valley native infused his writing with images of nature as seen and experienced within his own home region. "Nature comes home to one most when he is at home," he wrote, "the stranger and traveler finds her a stranger and traveler also. One's own landscape comes in time to be a sort of outlying part of himself; he has sowed himself broadcast upon it, and it reflects his own moods and feelings; he is sensitive to the verge of the horizon: cut those trees, and he bleeds; mar those hills, and he suffers." With this poetic sensibility and emphasis on the local, Burroughs created a unique literature of nature - one aptly represented by the essays here-in. CONTENTS Introduction. A Sharp Lookout. The Falling Leaves. A Snow Storm. Wild Life in Winter. Winter Neighbors. April. A Young Marsh Hawk. Strawberries. Speckled Trout. Birch Browsings. Notes by the Way.

Описание: Memories of the Catskills: The Making of a Hotel, by Alvin L. Lesser, with a foreword by John Conway, Sullivan County Historian, takes the reader back to a time and place that was like no other. Families wishing to get out of the stifling heat of a New York City summer and other nearby crowded areas, found the perfect escape in "the Catskills". By sharing an insider's view of one person's life in this magical arena, Lesser lets readers experience the fun and the work that went into creating a place that people came back to year after year. Memories of the Catskills is a candid and charming memoir about the rise and fall of the "Borscht Belt". Lesser Lodge, a small hotel where the author spent the better part of his childhood, lies at the center of the heartfelt tale. Famous stars of yesteryear came to entertain in the Borscht Belt at Lesser Lodge. The Lodge survived the depression era and then flourished during the years of economic recovery and growth. Not just the story of the Lesser family, but the warmth of people who made others welcome by providing a respite which made them all family-- entertainers and guests alike.
