Описание:
From the Mines to the Streets draws on the life of Félix Muruchi to depict the greater forces at play in Bolivia and elsewhere in South America during the last half of the twentieth century. It traces Félix from his birth in an indigenous family in 1946, just after the abolition of bonded labor, through the next sixty years of Bolivia's turbulent history. As a teenager, Félix followed his father into the tin mines before serving a compulsory year in the military, during which he witnessed the 1964 coup d'état that plunged the country into eighteen years of military rule. He returned to work in the mines, where he quickly rose to become a union leader. The reward for his activism was imprisonment, torture, and exile. After he came home, he participated actively in the struggles against neoliberal governments, which led in 2006—the year of his sixtieth birthday—to the inauguration of Evo Morales as Bolivia's first indigenous president.
The authors weave Muruchi's compelling recollections with contextual commentary that elucidates Bolivian history. The combination of an unforgettable life story and in-depth text boxes makes this a gripping, effective account, destined to become a classic sourcebook.

Описание:
In this compelling and comprehensive look at the rise of Evo Morales and Bolivia’s Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS), Linda Farthing and Benjamin Kohl offer a thoughtful evaluation of the transformations ushered in by the western hemisphere’s first contemporary indigenous president. Accessible to all readers, Evo’s Bolivia not only charts Evo’s rise to power but also offers a history of and context for the MAS revolution’s place in the rising “pink tide” of the political left. Farthing and Kohl examine the many social movements whose agendas have set the political climate in Bolivia and describe the difficult conditions the administration inherited. They evaluate the results of Evo’s policies by examining a variety of measures, including poverty; health care and education reform; natural resources and development; and women’s, indigenous, and minority rights. Weighing the positive with the negative, the authors offer a balanced assessment of the results and shortcomings of the first six years of the Morales administration.
At the heart of this book are the voices of Bolivians themselves. Farthing and Kohl interviewed women and men in government, in social movements, and on the streets throughout the country, and their diverse backgrounds and experiences offer a multidimensional view of the administration and its progress so far. Ultimately the “process of change” Evo promised is exactly that: an ongoing and complicated process, yet an important example of development in a globalized world.

Описание: Poetry. Middle Eastern Studies. Asian American Studies. Winner of the 2014 San Diego Book Award for Best Published Poetry. The bride who contemplates her half paralyzed face on the eve of marriage (in the opening poem, Facial Palsy) is emblematic of the larger story of Pakistan: an ancient culture fractured by new and divergent identities. The poet, like the bride whose face is divided into lit and dim halves, gazes into the mirrors of history and politics to make sense of the disjunctive parts that refuse to come together as a whole. The very multiplicities of culture that the poet celebrates (Socrates / mangoes cut in cubes, Iqbal's poems on marble construction paper, rouge from Paris, coconut oil from Orissa) are also the cause of dissonance (War cries of the Greeks / in plume red / Mongols / in horse-leather red, Gunga Din's ghost lifted from the tennis courts / of Peshawar Club)--dissonance that is further amplified in the post-9/11 wars to which a Pakistani-American response in poetry has thus far been absent. KOHL AND CHALK is that response in the voice of a daughter, a mother, a global citizen.

Описание: "With its provocative title, Jack Kohl has composed a highly nuanced novel and thriller. In it, one reads of the conflicts, perils, devotion, strength, and yes, joy of contemplating a career as a concert pianist. Mr. Kohl has certainly grappled with the inner life of an aspiring pianist, in which all of us can relate."
-David Dubal, faculty, the Juilliard School, WQXR host, and author of The Essential Canon of Classical Music and The Art of the Piano
On a cold dark night in early March 1970, two boats are discovered tied to a pier and bobbing gently in the still waters that ebb and flow between the separate coasts of Connecticut and the north shore of Long Island, New York. Aboard one of the seemingly abandoned boats, its engine still running, are found two healthy baby boys-and three corpses. What strange music of life gave birth to this bizarre piece of business? And what is it that finally-and perhaps fatally-leads to the separation between the two young boys as they grow from adolescence into adulthood? These, and many other questions, will provide ample accompaniment to readers of Jack Kohl's mysterious debut novel, That Iron String.
Named in honor of the New England towns from where their families hailed, Portsmouth ("Port" for short) Gourd has not seen his cousin, Boston, for several years. While both have grown into well-trained classical pianists with the high stress of various regional music competitions in common, the wayward Boston has emerged over time as the flashier and more prodigious player of the two. Port has remained in the small town of Pauktaug, traveling by train to Manhattan in order to attain a master's degree in classical piano.
Life with Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Harry is comfortable if not predictable, but something is missing. Then comes the day when, at the Gourd's three-floor suburban home that serves also as a funeral parlor, a disassembled grand piano arrives by delivery truck-along with the news that Boston is finally returning home. Weeks go by, though, and he does not arrive. All that does arrive are a series of mailed letters-all unread by Port, until the night when his recently-divorced high school crush reappears in his life and feelings long thought dead are reawakened. What transpires will both bemuse and astound readers, as the battle between life and music becomes a wrestle between love and death.
The first novel by a professional pianist in his own right, That Iron String resounds masterfully between the known and unknown, the sacred and profane, the comedic and tragic, the present ... and the past.

Описание:
"A riveting thriller with a family in crisis at the core. It's my kind of book." --Brad Taylor, bestselling author of American Traitor
DEA Special Agent Garrett Kohl must rescue a CIA officer after she's kidnapped in Texas by a nefarious band of criminals in this pulse-pounding thriller for fans of C. J. Box
Special Agent Garrett Kohl has just taken down a dangerous and deadly cartel boss when he finds trouble brewing back on his family's homestead. A powerful energy consortium, Talon Corporation, has started an aggressive mining operation that threatens to destroy Garrett's land, his family's way of life, and everything they hold dear. To achieve its goals, Talon is flouting the law, bribing public officials, and meeting anyone who challenges it with physical violence. When the Kohls themselves are attacked by Talon guards, Garrett goes on the offensive, embarking on an investigation that he hopes will rid the Texas High Plains of the intruders once and for all.
Garrett soon discovers that the company has origins in the dark hinterlands of countries across the globe. Using coercion and assassination levied by men from former Russian special operations forces, Talon is working on a highly secretive scheme to commandeer precious U.S. resources. The tit-for-tat exchange between Talon and the Kohls erupts into a full-scale war when Russian spy Alexi Orlov kidnaps Garrett's friend and ally CIA operative Kim Manning. While Talon may be accustomed to getting its way in many places around the world, it has yet to encounter this rare breed of warrior down in Texas--a man who will fight to the death to protect those he loves.
