Book Description
aYeah, yeah. I know. If you read my book, youall say it canat be true. That the characters and situations are made up, that they canat be real. But they are. Poor, disadvantaged, and under valued neighborhoods like Monkey Corner exist here and there; tucked into ignored corners of American life. Youall find them mainly in urban settings that are attached to big cities like Baltimore, Chicago, Boston and New York. Most people donat like them because they are the first stages of the evolutionary process. Itas a matter of survival of the fittest. But good or bad, these areas teach skills that can take people to a life filled with adventures and achievements they never thought possible. My lifeas journey is an example.a aRocky Romano

Ladders to Heaven
Author: Mike Shanahan
Publisher: Unbound Publishing
ISBN: 1783522372
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
"Irresistible" - Literary Review Fig trees have affected humanity in profound but little-known ways: they are wish-fulfillers, rainforest royalty, more precious than gold. Ladders to Heaven tells their incredible story. They fed our pre-human ancestors, influenced diverse cultures and played a key role in the birth of civilisation. More recently, they helped restore life after Krakatoa's catastrophic eruption and proved instrumental in Kenya's struggle for independence. Figs now sustain more species of bird and mammal than any other fruit – in a time of falling trees and rising temperatures, they offer hope. Theirs is a story about humanity's relationship with nature, as relevant to our past as it is to our future.

Po' Monkey's
Author: Will Jacks
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1496825349
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
Outside of Merigold, Mississippi, off an unmarked dirt road, stands Po’ Monkey’s, perhaps the most famous house in Mississippi and the last rural juke joint in the state, now closed to the public. Before the death of the lounge’s owner, Willie Seaberry, in 2016, it was a mandatory stop on the constant blues pilgrimage that flows through the Delta. Seaberry ran Po’ Monkey’s Lounge for more than fifty years, opening his juke joint in the 1960s. A hand-built tenant home located on the plantation where Seaberry worked, Po’ Monkey’s was a place to listen to music and drink beer—a place to relax where everyone was welcomed by Seaberry’s infectious charm. In Po’ Monkey’s: Portrait of a Juke Joint, photographer Will Jacks captures the juke joint he spent a decade patronizing. The more than seventy black-and-white photographs featured in this volume reflect ten years of weekly visits to the lounge as a regular—a journal of Jacks’s encounters with other customers, tourists, and Willie Seaberry himself. An essay by award-winning writer Boyce Upholt on the cultural significance of the lounge accompanies the images. This volume explores the difficulties of preservation, historical context, community relations, and cultural tourism. Now that Seaberry is gone, the uncertainty of the future of his juke joint highlights the need for a historical record.
