Book Description
Wyatt I've always been the wild King twin. The least likely to settle down. The daring one. The player. The one who never takes anything too seriously. To be fair, most of my reputation has been exaggerated over the years. But I've never minded. I've used it to my advantage, playing up the rumors that swirl around this small town. I've never cared what people think about me and I've never needed to work hard to impress a woman. Until now. Since the first time I laid eyes on Hope Sinclair, I haven't been able to get her off my mind. After the disappearing act she pulled the night we first met, I spend weeks trying to find my mystery woman. When she shows up again, out of the blue, I can't help but feel the same intense pull toward her. Too bad she believes everything she's heard about me. She won't give me a chance to prove there's more to me than my wild reputation. Instead, she's decided friendship is all we can have. Which is why I'm shocked when she walks up to me at my bar one night and kisses the hell out of me. She's using me to make her ex back off, but I don't care. This is the opening I need to finally show Hope there's more to me than she thinks. What are the odds I can convince her to turn this fake relationship into something real?

Rivers of Power
Author: Steven Peach
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806194421
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
Although the Creeks constitute a sovereign nation today, the concept of the nation meant little to their ancestors in the Native South. Rather, as Steven Peach contends in Rivers of Power, the Creeks of present-day Georgia and Alabama conceptualized rivers as the basis of power, leadership, and governance in early America. An original work of Indigenous ethnohistory, Peach’s book explores the implications of this river-oriented approach to power, in which rivers were a metaphor for the subregional provinces that defined the political textures of Creek country. The provinces nurtured leaders who worked to mitigate dangers across the Native South, including intertribal war, trade dependence, settler intrusion, and land erosion. Rivers of Power describes a system in which these headmen forged remarkably malleable coalitions within and across provinces to safeguard Creek country from harm—but were in turn directed, approved, and contested by local townspeople and kin groups. Taking a unique bottom-up approach to the study of Native Americans, Peach reveals how local actors guided and thwarted Indigenous headmen far more frequently and creatively than has been assumed. He also shows that although the Creeks traced descent through the maternal line, some became more comfortable with bilateral kinship, giving weight to both the paternal and maternal lineages. Fathers and sons thus played greater roles in Creek governance than Indigenous scholarship has acknowledged. Weaving a new narrative of the Creeks and outlining the contours of their riverine mode of governance, this work unpacks the fraught dimensions of political power in the Native South—and, indeed, Native North America—in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. By privileging Indigenous thought and intertribal history, it also advances the larger project of Native American history.

The Complete Concordance to Shakespeare
King
Author: Jonathan Eig
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1471181022
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 510
Book Description
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *SELECTED AS ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVOURITE BOOKS OF 2023* Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eig’s King is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. – and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself. He casts fresh light on the King family’s origins as well as MLK’s complex relationships with his wife, father, and fellow activists. King reveals a minister wrestling with his own human frailties and dark moods, a citizen hunted by his own government, and a man determined to fight for justice even if it proved to be a fight to the death. As he follows MLK from the classroom to the pulpit to the streets of Birmingham, Selma, and Memphis, Eig dramatically re-creates the journey of a man who recast American race relations and became its only modern-day founding father – as well as the nation’s most mourned martyr. In this landmark biography, Eig gives us an MLK for our times: a deep thinker, a brilliant strategist, and a committed radical who led one of history’s greatest movements, and whose demands for racial and economic justice remain as urgent today as they were in his lifetime.
