Kwa Heri Means Goodbye: Memories of Kenya 1957-1959
by Dorothy StephensIn 1953, when Dorothy Stephens and her husband lived in married student housing at the University of Michigan, she envisioned a safe, conventional life ahead. She never imagined living in Kenya toward the end of the Mau Mau uprising, plunged into an exotic new world, facing safari ants, wild bees, and a vicious monkey, and discovering a core of strength deep in her security-loving soul. See Kenya through her eyes in its last tumultuous days as a British colony and witness the transformative effect on her life. Meet the emerging young leaders of the independence movement and the fascinating women who became her friends. Travel to Murchison Falls in Uganda and to Ngorongoro Crater in Tanganyika. Accompany her, with her house servant and three young children, on a three-hundred-mile drive to the Kenya coast through desolate bush inhabited by big game, a trip that had a profound and lasting impact.
Kyle (Images of America)
by Betty Harrison Hays County Historical CommissionKyle, Texas, was founded in 1880 when settlers from the nearby established communities of Blanco and Mountain City purchased lots in the 200-acre township deeded to the International-Great Northern Railroad by David E. Moore and Fergus Kyle, who gave his name to the new city. Beneath a live oak tree, which still stands, lots for both businesses and residences that had been laid out by surveyor Martin Groos were sold at auction in October 1880. Within two years, the town had 500 residents, although it would not be incorporated until 1928. Around the time Kyle was founded, Col. R.J. Sledge brought German workers to his Pecan Springs Valley plantation east of Kyle, generating new customers for his mercantile store in town. Kyle has been the home of some famous people, including author Katherine Anne Porter, Boston Red Sox pitcher Tex Hughson, Rhodes Scholar Terrell Sledge, and Dean Edwin J. Kyle, namesake of Kyle Field at Texas A&M University.

L'Enfant's Legacy: Public Open Spaces in Washington, D.C
by Michael Bednar(front flap) Many American democratic ideals are embodied in the public spaces of its cities, especially in Washington, D.C. In L'Enfant's Legacy architect and scholar Michael Bednar explores the public spaces of the nation's capital, examining the context of the surrounding architecture and the roles of the spaces in the changing functional life of the city. Bednar examines the ways in which L'Enfant's innovative plan of 1791, along with later developments, symbolizes and encourages democratic freedoms and traditions. In the spaces of Capitol Square, citizens expect to encounter their government directly in a dignified setting, a symbolic public forum. On the White House grounds they expect to meet the president where he works and lives. At the National Mall - America's front lawn - citizens exercise their rights of assembly and free speech, as well as play football, eat lunch, and socialize.
L'exploration de l'Afrique
by Jack DonahueIl n'y a pas si longtemps, l'intérieur de l'Afrique était un livre scellé pour le monde civilisé. Les fontaines ensoleillées, les sables dorés, les plaines verdoyantes de l'Afrique étaient à retrouver dans les vers du poète ; mais il ne traitait ni de latitude ni de longitude. Les cartes présentaient une terra incognita, où les voyageurs modernes ont découvert des rivières, des lacs et des bassins alluviaux, ou montraient des déserts stériles, où des découvertes récentes trouvent des prairies riches et régulièrement inondées, parsemées de villes et de cités fortifiées, animées par des troupeaux de bétail, ou cultivées dans des plantations de maïs et de coton. Jack Donahue nous ramène au premier plan de l'ère de l'exploration africaine, au milieu du XIXe siècle, avec des récits à la première personne de ceux qui étaient là.
L'últim traginer: A peu pel Pallars i la Vall d'Aran
by Josep Maria EspinàsEspinàs converteix l'experiència de la caminada en una crònica viva en la qual el lector s'aventura amb l'escriptor per camins desconeguts del Pallars i la Vall d'Aran. L'últim traginer ens transporta a un temps en què el Pallars i la Vall Aran no tenien estacions d'esquí, els guàrdies civils anaven amb bicicleta i la centraleta de telèfons de Salardú la feia funcionar, manualment, una noia en un racó de menjador d'una antiga fonda. El lector s'aventura amb l'escriptor pels camins i les valls d'aquestes contrades, en una crònica que reviu un món rural perdut i nostàlgic de mitjan anys cinquanta. Josep M. Espinàs, a través d'aquesta crònica del 1956, reviu uns fets, uns personatges i un paisatge que avui ja formen part del passat, però que l'autor manté vius per sempre amb el seu testimoni de narració viva.
