Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Two critically-praised works of fiction by Harold Burton Meyers in one volume-Geronimo's Ponies (selected by Jane Smiley as Winner of the National Novella Award) and Reservations, a novel-that draw on the author's upbringing on Navajo, Hopi and Zuni Indian reservations during the Great Depression, the son of U.S. Indian Service schoolteachers.Both center on Will and Mary Parker and their son Davey. In Geronimo's Ponies Mary's brother Eph and the taciturn Mr. Smart descend on the Navajo Reservation to buy Indian horses being sold off in a Dust Bowl stock-reduction program, intending to sell them as saddle ponies to Texas children. Joining in their grandiose scheme, Davey leads parades in Amarillo and Wichita Falls and meets his boisterous Texas relatives, only to encounter complications that he seizes as opportunities to grow up.In Reservations a vast landscape populated by memorable characters leaps to life: Davey and his parents, plus their colleagues, the Navajo and Zuni Indians they work for and with, including medicine men and policemen, and assorted traders, salesmen, hobos and tourists. The story dramatizes the fight within FDR's Indian Service--under reformist Commission of Indian Affairs John Collier--between those like Davey's parents who wish to bolster attendance at day schools, keeping Indian children within their own culture at home, and 'assimilationists' intent on de-Indianizing them at boarding schools. In poignant, sharply-drawn episodes based on lived experience and created with literary force, Will Parker sponsors a bold experiment using schoolbuses to increase enrollment and Mary Parker mentors students and colleagues despite the harsh and unforgiving environment and opposition from all quarters.Readers will find Geronimo's Ponies and Reservations two of recent American fiction's richest works.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This title was declared Best Book, at the New Mexico Book Awards, 2007. Its 1923. The U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs and its educational arm, the Indian Service, are under fire for a Christianize and civilize policy that seeks to draw Native American children from their ancestral cultures. The school principal at the fictional New Mexico pueblo of Awahi has been caught slipping government property to a missionary. The Indian Service seeks to still a Congressional uproar by giving the principals job to Quill Thompson, a critic of Christianize and civilize. Awahi is an isolated, inhospitable post. Quill is advised to pack a gun and stay indoors at night. His wife, Jane, a nurse, decides it is no place to start the family they both want. For centuries Awahi has managed by guile and flexibility to keep its rich culture intact, despite Spanish conquistadors, Franciscan and Protestant missionaries, the Indian Service, and the teacher who might have had Quills job had she not been a woman. Her allies are two entrepreneurial proselytizers, who share only contempt for the savages they seek to convert. Quill and Jane join forces with a one-eyed Indian trader, a Franciscan student of the Awahi language, and two Awahi leaders, Pueblo Governor Kenoti and Rain Priest of the North Ninsulka. When a white man is found dead, Quill faces an ethical dilemma. Should he allow Awahi to mete out justice the Awahi way Or should he call in outside forces that he fears will destroy an ancient society before it can adjust to an encroaching modern world Harold Burton Meyers grew up on Pima-Maricopa, Zuni, Navajo, and Hopi reservations in Arizona and New Mexico. A former ''Time'' correspondent and ''Fortune'' editor, he is the author of two earlier novels about the Southwest, ''Geronimos Ponies'' and ''Reservations''.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. This volume, with contributions from historians of science, medicine, art, and material culture, shows that the histories of science and art are not simply histories of concepts or styles, but histories of the making and using of objects to understand the world. More intensive examination of material practices makes it clear that the methods of the artisan represent a process of knowledge-making that involved extensive experimentation and observation, in addition to generalizations about matter and nature. As increasing numbers of people came to be immersed in such activities, whether as craftspeople, medical practitioners, merchants, nobles, magistrates, reformers, collectors, or even scholars, the attributes of nature were not only articulated in a variety of ways, and not only seen as a resource for human use, but came to be identified with a variety of goods.
