You will meet a tortoise that is passionate and methodical. You will go to a place where wars have been fought and where they are being prevented or exacerbated, depending on your point of view. You will meet a man who is crazy about snakes. You will meet other men who are crazy about the past." So goes the introduction to this book, a book that records a journey of more than twenty~five thousand miles through the deserts of the American Southwest. Desert Time takes you through Oregon and Idaho to the Mexican border, from the Sierras of California to the Colorado Rockies, from Lajitas, Texas, to Owyhee County, Idaho. Diana Kappel~Smith has written a series of studies of American desert life, but expanded and personalized them in a style closer to a travelogue or a personal diary. In Desert Time, Kappel~Smith shows an easiness with scientific knowledge, from botany to plate tectonics to desert zoology. But the book is just as much about the people she meets along the way, people who tell their own stories: Navajo children on a reservation in Ganado, Arizona; Alex Kasknuna, a Hopi who carves kachina dolls; Ed Schultz, a prospector and miner in Owyhee County; OJ, a geologist with the New Mexico Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources in Socorro. Running through the book as a leitmotif is the question of what deserts mean, what they signify. In human terms, the word "desert" connotes a place passed over, forgotten, left behind; yet the lives and cultures and natural phenomena nurtured in the American deserts described here are complex and startlingly beautiful. In the manner of the Navajo, who believe that "soul" resides in the land, Kappel~Smith proves that deserts are not just empty spaces between cities, but the true, everlasting territories that will outlive us all.

Biography of Françoise~Athénaïs de Rochechouart de Mortemart, marquise de Montespan (5 October 1641 ~ 27 May 1707), better known as Madame de Montespan, the most celebrated maîtresse en titre (official mistress) of King Louis XIV of France, by whom she had seven children. Athenais was famous for the brilliance of her fetes, the extravagance of her gambling, and the impeccability of her taste in everything from fashion to buildings. She inspired plays by Moliere and Racine, organized ballets and operas by Lully and Quinault, and commissioned chateaux by the leading architects of France. The Affair of the Poisons (L'affaire des poisons) was a major murder scandal ~a number of prominent members of the aristocracy were implicated and sentenced on charges of poisoning and witchcraft. The scandal reached into the inner circle of the king. ~Athenais' implication in the sinister dealings of sorcerers and poisoners caused a fall from grace almost as precipitous as her rise.

" The companion volume to the stunning PBS television series."american history. world history. american indian history. mexican history. ~ In a vivid narrative that begins with the arrival of the first Europeans and ends well into the twentieth century, author Geoffrey C. Ward provides a gripping journey through the turbulent history of the region that has come to symbolize America around the world. Drawing upon hundreds of letters, diaries, memoirs, and journals as well as the latest scholarship, The West chronicles the arrival of wave after wave of newcomers from every direction of the compass, each of which invested the harsh but majestic western landscape with its own myths and desires and dreams. The cast is as rich and diverse as the western landscape itself ~ explorers and soldiers and Indian warriors, settlers and railroad builders and gaudy showmen. Coronado and Custer, Jesse James and Chief Joseph and Brigham Young and Buffalo Bill are all here. But so are scores of lesser~known westerners whose stories are no less compelling ~ a Chinese ditchdigger and a rich Mexican landowner, a forty~niner from Chile and a Texas cowboy born in Britain, a woman missionary to the Indians who loathed the West and a Wellesley graduate who loved it in spite of everything it did to her and her family. It is the central story of America, a story filled with heroism and hope, enterprise and adventure as well as tragedy and disappointment. The West explores the tensions between whites and the native peoples they sought to displace, but it also encompasses the Hispanic experience in the West, from the time of the conquistadors to the transformation of a Mexican~American village called Los Angeles into the region's major metropolis; the lives of Chinese immigrants who called the region "Gold Mountain"; and the ordeals of freed slaves from the South who sought a better lite homesteading on the Great Plains. Beautifully written, richly illustrated, meticulously researched, The West both tells the story of a unique part of the country and provides a metaphor for the country as a whole. With all its complications and contradictions, its heroism and iniquity, exploitation and adventure, sober realities and bright myths, it is the story of all Americans, no matter where on the continent they happen to live, no matter how recently their ancestors arrived on its shores. contributors = Dayton Duncan John Macie Faragher » David G.
