Jenny Hudson is the daughter of the mine foreman. With the mine being the old major business in the area, that makes her and her father rather important figures in the town of Jonsonville. But when the mine starts running dry, with the only vein practically unreachable, fewer and fewer of the miners are getting the shifts that they need to feed their families. It breaks Jenny's heart that she can't do more to help them. But when Jenny's crush, the mysterious black haired girl that moved to town just a couple of years earlier, finally talks to her, thoughts of those miners and their concerns end up taking a back seat for this new love affair. However, when the mysteries surrounding the girl take a turn for the dark, Jenny is left to wonder just who she needs to be saving: the girl, the town, or herself.

Fabulous Creatures, Mythical Monsters, and Animal Power Symbols

A Handbook

By: Cassandra Eason

Eason provides an extensive overview of the mythology, legends, and folklore surrounding fabulous and strange fantasy creatures from diffferent lands and ages, from Chinese dragons and the Native North American thunderbird to the demon hounds of Celtic and Norse legend. She describes how in various ages and cultures people have identified with the idealized qualities of wise creatures as a source of power and better understanding of their own personalities and used the behavior of birds and other sacred creatures to gain oracular information in Ancient Egypt and the Classical and Celtic worlds. This book offers both traditional and little known folklore and legend about familiar real life creatures such as the horse, the cat, and the raven and delves into the weird and wonderful world of saints who claimed to change into deer and modern cryptozoological monsters such as Bigfoot, Mothman, and lake and sea monsters, as well as the rationale behind animal or headed deities of the Aztecs, Egyptians, and Celts in whose name people went to war.

Unsettled Ground

The Whitman Massacre and Its Shifting Legacy in the American West

By: Cassandra Tate

A highly-readable, myth-busting history of the Whitman Massacre—a pivotal event in the history of the American West—that includes the often-missing Native American point of view. In 1836, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, devout missionaries from upstate New York, established a Presbyterian mission on Cayuse Indian land near what is now the fashionable wine capital of Walla Walla, Washington. Eleven years later, a group of Cayuses killed the Whitmans and eleven others in what became known as the Whitman Massacre. The attack led to a war of retaliation against the Cayuse; the extension of federal control over the present-day states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and parts of Montana and Wyoming; and martyrdom for the Whitmans. Today, however, the Whitmans are more likely to be demonized as colonizers than revered as heroes. In Unsettled Ground, historian and journalist Cassandra Tate takes a fresh look at the personalities, dynamics, disputes, social pressures, and shifting legacy of a pivotal event in the history of the American West. “[Tate] tells the Cayuse’s side of the story with empathy and clarity . . . a meticulously researched book.” —The Seattle Times

The New Rules of Lifting for Women

Lift Like a Man, Look Like a Goddess

By: Lou Schuler,Cassandra Forsythe, PhD, RD,Alwyn Cosgrove

In The New Rules of Lifting for Women, authors Lou Schuler, Cassandra Forsythe and Alwyn Cosgrove present a comprehensive strength, conditioning and nutrition plan destined to revolutionize the way women work out. All the latest studies prove that strength training, not aerobics, provides the key to losing fat and building a fit, strong body. This book refutes the misconception that women will "bulk up" if they lift heavy weights. Nonsense! It's tough enough for men to pack on muscle, and they have much more of the hormone necessary to build muscle: natural testosterone. Muscles need to be strengthened to achieve a lean, healthy look. Properly conditioned muscles increase metabolism and promote weight loss -- it's that simple. The program demands that women put down the "Barbie" weights, step away from the treadmill and begin a strength and conditioning regime for the natural athlete in every woman. The New Rules of Lifting for Women will change the way women see fitness, nutrition and their own bodies.

The Complete Guide to Labyrinths

Tapping the Sacred Spiral for Power, Protection, Transformation, and Healing

By: Cassandra Eason

A universal symbol of transformation, the labyrinth was created in ancient times to represent humankind’s search for the core of divinity. Unlike a maze, which may have a confusion of tracks leading in all directions, a labyrinth has a single, winding pathway that spirals inward to the center. In The Complete Guide to Labyrinths, renowned British psychic and folklorist Cassandra Eason explores the mystery of this sacred symbol and explains how to harness its power for personal transformation, protection, healing, and enlightenment. The book features instructions for creating indoor and outdoor labyrinths; rituals to nourish fertility, confront and resolve conflict, honor grief or loss, and celebrate new beginnings; and resources for locating labyrinths around the world. Filled with personal anecdotes and a detailed exploration of labyrinth history and mythology, this complete handbook is a deeply spiritual guide to the meditative, intuitive, and creative power of this age-old symbol.

Urban Deer Havens

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Urban Deer Havens

By: Clark E. Adams,Cassandra LaFleur Villarreal

Urban Deer Havens consists of a thorough examination of selected cervid (deer) species that are known to inhabit urban communities in the United States. The deer species that are included in this presentation consisted of white-tailed (Odocoileus virginianus), Key deer (O. v. clavium), moose (Alces alces), elk (Cervus elaphus), mule (Odocoileus hemionus), and black-tailed deer (O. h. columbianus). This book is the first attempt to examine the similarities and differences in those factors that allow the selected cervids to exist and thrive in urban habitats. This information has never been collected, collated, reviewed, and published under one cover document. Yet, all five are known to inhabit urban communities within their geographic range. The lack of information concerning several important examples of urban cervids in conjunction with a proliferation of information on white-tailed deer only is an incomplete and biased presentation. This book is the first comprehensive source of information on urban deer management, which includes a broad assemblage of urban cervids. The overall objective of this book is to provide a more holistic examination of urban cervids. For example, it examines the similarities and differences of the environmental impacts, management strategies, and human dimensions considerations concerning urban cervids in general, and using specific examples. Urban Deer Havens features four chapters that include: Urban deer census techniques and population dynamics Comprehensive tables that review urban community deer management plans National and state-wide estimates the five selected cervids Laws and regulations concerning urban deer Lethal and nonlethal management options for managing deer Steps for managing urban deer populations Examples of urban deer management efforts

Narrow Droplets

By: Cassandra Swiderski

Narrow Dropletsis a riveting collection of 240 poems on four themes: mind, body, heart, soul. Edgy and sophisticated, works from this Detroit-based poet make you re?ect, react, and respond. From conveying the heartache of betrayal to questioning the role of a higher power,Narrow Dropletstransports the reader to recalling the personal, often-tumultuous experiences of our teenage years, twenties, and thirties. Written over a twenty-two year period, the poetry ofNarrow Dropletsshares the journey from love to loss, commitment to in?delity, indecision to education, and pleasure to pain. The reader is confronted with challenging subjects on modern-American societys obsession with physical beauty, the mentality of excess, and the throwaway culture of the 21st Century. Direct, poignant, and witty,Narrow Dropletswill be memorable to poetry-lovers from all backgrounds. Calling upon a variety of forms and styles, this collection is valuable to both students of the genre and general readers with an appreciation of language and literary passion. Poetry is only meaningful when it is close to nature and approaches the truth of feeling. The poetry of Cassandra Swiderski has truly done this while maintaining the ?exibility, openness, and constant readiness to listen. She raises the readers curiosity, engages him in the event and then surprises him with an unexpected catastrophe. The true purpose of any poet is to give the world a new shape and stop it from going to sleep, and I think Narrow Droplets is the apt re?ection of that. Usman Khan, author The Narrow Dropletsof Cassandra Swiderskis poems stream together to form a hauntingly beautiful and poignantly honest river of voices in this intensely personal yet universal collection of verse.

Little Girl Black

It’s Okay Now, Dry Your Eyes

By: Cassandra Hudson

Little Girl Black Confronts Domestic abuse, physical abuse, mental abuse, emotional abuse, and verbal abuse. This book and all my Little Girl Black poetry books, volumes 1–6, celebrate and confront dreams, religion, marriage, unfairness, sex, friendship, racism, colorism, abuse, strength, judgments, fantasy, love, education, families, power, death, the black sheep syndrome, and many other situations. Domestic abuse. You know that old saying “You don’t really know what happens behind closed doors”? Everything looks great on the outside, but no one really knows the real deal. And there are entire families living in total fear. Looks can be very deceiving. Most people only show what they want people to see, and it’s usually a façade. Some abuse goes unnoticed, and some abuse screams out loud. Some mothers and fathers tell their kids to shush. “This is family business. Keep what’s going on at home, at home, and what’s going on outside, outside. We’re a family. We don’t mix the two.” Now you and your whole family are bound to secrecy. Physical abuse. Some people are in total denial when they don’t want anyone to notice the makeup that’s covering a black eye or when they give you an excuse for how their arm got broken and it has everything to do with falling down the stairs. But there are some people who wear physical abuse like a crown or tiara and strut like a peacock. He or she wants everybody to know how they keep their woman or man in check. Yes, women can be and are abusers too. Love should not hurt so bad until love stops breathing, and you have to give love and your heart mouth-to-mouth resuscitation every second of your every day. If that’s what you’re on, you may as well go on and buy that black dress or make orange your favorite color. Sooner or later, he or she will snap. Abuse is true life, not a TV show.

By: Cassandra Hudson

This book and all my Little Girl Black poetry books volumes 1–6 celebrate and confront dreams, religion, marriage, unfairness, sex, friendship, racism, colorism, abuse, strength, judgments, fantasies, love, education, families, power, death, the black sheep syndrome, and many other situations. An education is something you must have. Without a doubt, you will need an education someday. Without an education, who will count your coins, or how would you know how much paper was in your bag before you let your smart-ass accounting count it for you? His or her pockets may just be dripping with your cash. You know, he or she will be twerking and crip-walking all the way to the bank. You better learn quick how to count your moolah. Sticky fingers always come with skills. Without an education, how will you learn about your history? Who will teach you about all the wars that were won and lost if you can’t read? You will have to depend on what someone is telling you. If you can read, you can do your own research of your past, present, and future. If you don’t get an education, someone else will write your story and tell all kinds of tall tales. If you didn’t go to school and learn to write your story yourself, who can tell your life story better than you? An education is a must. You will find out the hard way. Just because they’re your friends in your face doesn’t mean they will be the same friends behind your back. Your story is being written and told by a hater. Navigate your own legacy by learning to read. Who will speak for you if you don’t speak for yourself? No one knows how or why your pain multiplies, why your happiness is so big it floats up to the sky, or how bright your future will get if you keep your head in your books and your nose clean. Dyslexic. I know some of us need a little help or maybe just a little extra time because of how our brain operates or is wired. If I can so graciously attempt to describe a dyslexic mind, I will try, with some old dance crazes from the fifties and sixties as metaphors. Well, here goes. A so-called normal mind or brain does the dance we call the twist, slowly twisting or wiggling your hips and still keeping up with the beat as you let your backbone slip, or a simple, slow drag or stepping—a dance where you’re in total control. Your smooth moves engage every part of your body as you slowly synchronize across the room and floor, holding your partner close. And my brain, a dyslexic brain, is very busy and does an old dance called the funky chicken and the funky, funky Broadway, moving the head, feet, and all limbs at the same time at a faster tempo, but dramatic. Just a step behind, but your imagination is all the way up on cloud nine. That’s how I describe a dyslexic mind. But being dyslexic does not make a normal brain better and surely does not make a dyslexic brain lesser than. It just makes our brains different, simple as that. Cassandra Hudson December 10, 2019

Americans in Egypt, 1770-1915

Explorers, Consuls, Travelers, Soldiers, Missionaries, Writers and Scientists

By: Cassandra Vivian

The voices of Americans have long been absent from studies of modern Egypt. Most scholars assume that Americans were either not in Egypt in significant numbers during the nineteenth century or had little of importance to say. This volume shows that neither was the case by introducing and relating the experiences and attitudes of 15 American personalities who worked, lived, or traveled in Egypt from the 1770s to the commencement of World War I. Often in their own words, explorers, consuls, tourists, soldiers, missionaries, artists, scientists, and scholars offer a rare American perspective on everyday Egyptian life and provide a new perspective on many historically significant events. The stories of these individuals and their sojourns not only recount the culture and history of Egypt but also convey the domination of the country by European powers and the support for Egypt by a young American nation.

-I’Ll Give You a Kiss When It’s Missing Vol 1

By: Cassandra Hudson

This book is a work of fiction. Places, events, and situations in this story are purely fictional. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is coincidental. Little Girl Black confronts colorism and the black sheep syndrome and the many shades it comes in. That old saying don’t judge a book by its cover—I say open the book up and slowly read the literature in side, cover to cover, before forming an opinion. You may be pleasantly surprised on what you read. Bump what you hear, boss up, and form your own opinions. This book and all my Little Girl Black poetry books volumes 1 to 6 celebrate and confront dreams, religion, marriage, unfairness, sex, friendship, racism, strength, judgments, fantasy, love, education, families, power, and death, as well as many other situations. Life will sometimes come to you whether you’re looking for it or not. Here comes life kicking down your doors; it just walks in and puts its filthy feet up on your clean glass table, getting extremely comfortable, and you say to yourself, “What the hell is going on?” This is a good time to get down on your knees and give it all to the Lord, like in the play Your Arms Are Too Short to Box with God. Please let him do his job, but take notes. Ding, ding! The school of life is in session. The black sheep syndrome is not because you’re an African American or black or brown. Yes, being racist or racism plays a big part when a whole race is condemned because of the pigment in their skin, but there are little girl blacks and little boy blacks in every race that lives in every family. No one can stop you from dreaming. Your dreams live in your heart, mind, body, and soul; so every time you close your eyes to dream a little dream, hum a little tune, or recite a little poem, stop and introduce yourself to your destiny and say, “Hello, I’m so please to finally meet you. I have been waiting for you.” Yes, colorism. Racism within our own race—we all play a part. I say no matter what shade of chocolate you may be, love yourself, live to be mature, and dream to succeed and achieve everything your little heart desires. Unfairness or jealousy and looking down upon someone for whatever reasons and sometimes no reasons at all, just because who you look like or who you belong to—this syndrome is taught and learned and follows that little girl black or little boy black for generations. I say to all of you bullies and dream-stealers, shame on you. You need to check yourself!

Human Dimensions of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries

An Overview of Context, Concepts, Tools and Methods

By: Cassandra De Young,Anthony Charles,Anthony Trevor Charles,Antonia Hjort,Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations

This document aims to provide a better understanding of the role of the economic, institutional and sociocultural components within the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) process and to examine some potential methods and approaches that may facilitate the adoption of EAF management. It explores both the human context for the ecosystem approach to fisheries and the human dimensions involved in implementing the EAF. For the former, the report provides background material essential to understand prior to embarking on EAF initiatives, including an understanding of key concepts and issues, of the valuation of aquatic ecosystems socially, culturally and economically, and of the many policy, legal, institutional, social and economic considerations relevant to the EAF. With respect to facilitating EAF implementation, the report deals with a series of specific aspects: (1) determining the boundaries, scale and scope of the EAF; (2) assessing the various benefits and costs involved, seen from social, economic, ecological and management perspectives; (3) utilizing appropriate decision-making tools in EAF; (4) creating and/or adopting internal incentives and institutional arrangements to promote, facilitate and fund the adoption of EAF management; and (5) finding suitable external (non-fisheries) approaches for financing EAF implementation.
