Book Description
For more than a century, the enduring feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys has been American shorthand for passionate, unyielding, and even violent confrontation. Yet despite numerous articles, books, television shows, and feature films, nobody has ever told the in-depth true story of this legendarily fierce-and far-reaching-clash in the heart of Appalachia. Drawing upon years of original research, including the discovery of previously lost and ignored documents and interviews with relatives of both families, bestselling author Dean King finally gives us the full, unvarnished tale, one vastly more enthralling than the myth. Unlike previous accounts, King's begins in the mid-nineteenth century, when the Hatfields and McCoys lived side-by-side in relative harmony. Theirs was a hardscrabble life of farming and hunting, timbering and moonshining-and raising large and boisterous families-in the rugged hollows and hills of Virginia and Kentucky. Cut off from much of the outside world, these descendants of Scots-Irish and English pioneers spoke a language many Americans would find hard to understand. Yet contrary to popular belief, the Hatfields and McCoys were established and influential landowners who had intermarried and worked together for decades. When the Civil War came, and the outside world crashed into their lives, family members were forced to choose sides. After the war, the lines that had been drawn remained-and the violence not only lived on but became personal. By the time the fury finally subsided, a dozen family members would be in the grave. The hostilities grew to be a national spectacle, and the cycle of killing, kidnapping, stalking by bounty hunters, and skirmishing between governors spawned a legal battle that went all the way to the United States Supreme Court and still influences us today. Filled with bitter quarrels, reckless affairs, treacherous betrayals, relentless mercenaries, and courageous detectives, The Feud is the riveting story of two frontier families struggling for survival within the narrow confines of an unforgiving land. It is a formative American tale, and in it, we see the reflection of our own family bonds and the lengths to which we might go in order to defend our honor, our loyalties, and our livelihood.

Book Description
Danny Lee Ingram....Dangling from a rope in an Appalachian cave or trembling from vertigo on a canyon ledge, wrestling a chain-scarred boulder or arguing with a wily Leprechaun, Ingram's short story characters bring to life humor, challenge, regret, and hope. After decades of procrastination, a field worker finally decides to attend his high school reunion. Another character seeks understanding of a journey into the Southern river wilds to evict its backwoods inhabitants.

These stories are sure to bring chuckles and tears, reflection and foresight, and you'll find yourself reading them, sharing them, again and again.

Book Description
Psychiatrist Woody Wood, Americas love guru and renowned phobia specialist, persuaded his fiance to wait until their wedding night to consummate their relationship, because unbeknownst to her and the millions who read his syndicated sexual advice column, Woody is still a virgin due to a debilitating performance anxiety. Further complicating matters is the sudden arrival of Woodys 72-year-old- mother, Happy, and her one-legged psychopathic boyfriend who escaped from a locked mental ward and appeared at Woodys doorstep just in time to brew a potpourri of unimaginable trouble for the two love birds. Happys never-ending supply of laxatives, scathing truths, and a mysterious red shoebox wreak havoc on Rudd Waters, the fetching former beauty queen and fiance of Woody, and Woodys three-legged incontinent and neurotic dog, Di. Woodys two million dollar mansion, not big enough for the four of them, becomes even smaller with the addition of Lucky, Happys slutty daughter, Luckys do-nothing husband, Jeep, and Ben, Luckys rotund lawyer friend and married lover. Julian, a promiscuous chef, and Christian, a conflicted and closeted heart surgeon and former lover of Rudd, round out this crazy mix. Told from the point of view of thirteen characters, 911 is a dark comedy based on real people and an incredible chain of real events that ultimately threaten not only Woodys sanity, but his life! Happy, Jewish American Princess and marionette mistress extraordinaire, possesses the uncanny ability to control the destiny of misfits, embroiled in a Gordian knot, in the end unveiling unexpected acumen and cunning talent.

Author: Ann Finkelstein Publisher: MSU Press ISBN: 0870139118 Category : Education Languages : en Pages : 207
Book Description
The first book of its kind, Science is Golden discusses how to implement an inquiry-based, problem-solving approach to science education (grades K-5). Finkelstein shows parents and teachers how to help students investigate their own scientific questions. Rather than a set of guidelines for science fair projects, this book presents a method for helping students expand their creativity and develop logical thinking while learning science. Starting with an introduction to the "brains-on method," Science is Golden explains brainstorming, experimental controls, collecting data, and how to streamline children's questions about science so that the questions define an experiment. Students will learn how to: ask good questions; clarify terminology; research, plan, and design experiments and controls; test assumptions; collect and analyze data; present results to others; and collaborate with adults. Science is Golden is consistent with the National Science Education Standards proposed by the National Academy of Sciences, and the Michigan Essential Goals and Objectives for Science Education (K-12) from the Michigan State Board of Education.
