FROM THE PUBLISHER - A Country of Strangers is a magnificent exploration of the psychological landscape where blacks and whites meet. To tell the story in human rather than abstract terms, the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer David K. Shipler bypasses both extremists and celebrities and takes us among ordinary Americans as they encounter one another across racial lines. We learn how blacks and whites see each other, how they interpret each other’s behavior, and how certain damaging images and assumptions seep into the actions of even the most unbiased. We penetrate into dimensions of stereotyping and discrimination that are usually invisible, and discover the unseen prejudices and privileges of white Americans, and what black Americans make of them. The book makes clear that we have the ability to shape our racial landscape—to reconstruct, even if not perfectly, the texture of our relationships. There is an assessment of the complexity confronting blacks and whites alike as they struggle to recognize and define the racial motivations that may or may not be present in a thought, a word, a deed. The book does not prescribe, but it documents the silences that prevail, the listening that doesn’t happen, the conversations that don’t take place. It looks at relations between minorities, including blacks and Jews, and blacks and Koreans. It explores the human dimensions of affirmative action, the intricate contacts and misunderstandings across racial lines among coworkers and neighbors. It is unstinting in its criticism of our society’s failure to come to grips with bigotry; but it is also, happily, crowded with black people and white people who struggle in their daily lives to do just that. inventory #30717 ISBN: 0394589750., 0, Washington, D.C.,: Society for American Archaeology,.

Abstract: Prehistoric ridged fields and canals were recognized from the air in 1968 along the Candelaria River of Campeche, Mexico, in the vicinity of sites described by E. Willys Andrews in 1943. These remains were subsequently identified by Scholes and Roys as the settlements of Acalan, a native province along the route of the journey by Cortes to Honduras. Ground exploration in 1969 and 1970 has suggested that the fields were used over a considerable period of time under a system of diversified horticulture. The extensive canal system apparently provided access from the rivers to firm ground and allowed shortcuts and bypasses alongside the rivers themselves. The landscape suggests a considerable prehistoric population, vigorously engaged in major public works projects over a large area. It invites further integrated investigation of its past human ecology, particularly for information on variants of basic Lowland Maya subsistence patterns and the new perspectives this may give on the stucture, success and demise of this civilization., Society for American Archaeology, 3, Joan Perlman [Published date: 2007].

[From Publisher] "I traveled for many years to Iceland in my dreams. When I finally arrived there, I felt an affinity with its spare volcanic landscape; this resonance has sustained my creative work for over a decade" Joan Perlman's large-scale abstract paintings reflect the artist's enduring interest in the landscape and geologic phenomena of Iceland. This first monograph explores, through works on canvas and the video installation, "From Ice," the shifting light, colors and energy patterns of the powerful waters of the southeast coast's glacial rivers. In addition, it features a thoughtful and humorous introduction by the esteemed curator and critic, Lawrence Rinder, poetry by Brad Leithauser, an essay by cultural anthropologist Dr. Anne Brydon and photography by the Icelandic geologist Oddur Sigurdsson.

A disenchanted philosophy student seeks his roots and finds an unstable Louisiana family in poet Villasenor's debut novel, whose lush prose and evocative landscapes owe more than a little to Faulkner and Cormac McCarthy. Found lying down in a highway near Charlottesville, Va., Zach Brannagan wakes up in a mental hospital. Unorthodox psychiatrist Michael Lazar diagnoses Zach's problem as lack of reality, and prescribes a trip home. Spiritual home for Zach, however, is not with his uncaring parents, a businessman father and New Age mother. And no wonder: Lazar pries through legal documents, and reveals to Zach that he was adopted at age four. Vowing to find his half-Navajo birth mother, Zach boards a bus for Arizona. After he is robbed in New Orleans and is forced to stay in a horrendous homeless shelter, he makes his way to Marjolaine, La. There he encounters the free-spirited Anna Beauchamp, who runs a home for unwanted and hurt children on her 40-acre homestead, called The Lake. One of Anna's young charges, red-haired, mute Sam, takes a special liking to Zach. By the novel's midpoint, Zach has cast off his metaphysical shackles, finding a home and a romance of sorts with Anna. But he feels he must complete his quest, and he and Sam leave Marjolaine on Anna's bicycle. This time the journey ends in disaster. Villasenor's baroque sentences, mimicking the tangle of Southern backwoods flora, ring fluent changes on Biblical figures of speech and follow the spirals of Zach's abstract meditations. Some readers will find that the strength of the prose more than compensates for the rather cumbersome plot. Others may have trouble staying with Zach on his heavily symbolic quest. A philosophy student's life is turned upside down in this poetic first novel. Zach Brannigan is a graduate student who has spent his life wrapped up in intellectual abstraction. After a nervous breakdown, he encounters a friendly psychiatrist who encourages him to rebuild his life through contact with the physical worldDand to discover his Native American heritage. While traveling to Arizona to try and locate his parents, he is assaulted and robbed in New Orleans. He ultimately finds his way to the Lake, the isolated home of the earthy Anna Beauchamp, a young woman who cares for orphaned and developmentally disabled children. There, Zach begins to heal psychologically by working around the property. He also encounters Samuel, a mysterious, epileptic boy who will figure prominently in his future. Strongly lyrical, though occasionally overwritten, this is a haunting, highly memorable debut. Hardback with dustjacket - 2000 - good condition - - ., Viking Adult, 2000, 2.5<
