The whole history of human settlement lay exposed there, under that big northern sky. There was nowhere here for bones to hide. On Craig Island, a vast landscape of ice north of the Arctic Circle, three travellers are hunting duck.
Among them is expert Inuit hunter and guide, Edie Kiglatuk; a woman born of this harsh, beautiful terrain. The two men are tourists, experiencing Arctic life in the raw, but when one of the men is shot dead in mysterious circumstances, the local Council of Elders in the tiny settlement of Autisaq is keen to dismiss it as an accident. Then two adventurers arrive in Autisaq hoping to search for the remains of the legendary Victorian explorer Sir James Fairfax.
The men hire Edie - whose ancestor Welatok guided Fairfax - along with Edie's stepson Joe, and two parties set off in different directions. Four days later, Joe returns to Autisaq frostbitten, hypothermic and disoriented, to report his man missing. And when things take an even darker turn, Edie finds herself heartbroken, and facing the greatest challenge of her life .
. . `A blazing star of a thriller: vivid, tightly-sprung, and satisfying on all levels.
Encountering Edie Kiglatuk, the toughest, smartest Arctic heroine since Miss Smilla, left me with that rare feeling of privilege you get on meeting extraordinary people in real life. A huge achievement' Liz Jensen, author of The Rapture 'Edie is an ingenious and original creation but the most addictive character is the Arctic itself' Sunday Telegraph

Описание: The context of business has changed rapidly over the past few decades.

The author takes on one of most fundamental notions in strategy: that of sustainable competitive advantage.
Описание: Illicit Love is a history of love, sex, and marriage between Indigenous peoples and settler citizens at the heart of two settler colonial nations, the United States and Australia. Award-winning historian Ann McGrath illuminates interracial relationships from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century through stories of romance, courtship, and marriage between Indigenous peoples and colonizers in times of nation formation.The romantic relationships of well-known and ordinary interracial couples provide the backdrop against which McGrath discloses the “marital middle ground” that emerged as a primary threat to European colonial and racial supremacy in the Atlantic and Pacific Worlds from the Age of Revolution to the Progressive Era. These relationships include the controversial courtship between white, Connecticut-born Harriett Gold and southern Cherokee Elias Boudinot; the Australian missionary Ernest Gribble and his efforts to socially segregate the settler and aboriginal population, only to be overcome by his romantic impulses for an aboriginal woman, Jeannie; the irony of Cherokee leader John Ross’s marriage to a white woman, Mary Brian Stapler, despite his opposition to interracial marriages in the Cherokee Nation; and the efforts among ordinary people in the imperial borderlands of both the United States and Australia to circumvent laws barring interracial love, sex, and marriage.Illicit Love reveals how marriage itself was used by disparate parties for both empowerment and disempowerment and came to embody the contradictions of imperialism. A tour de force of settler colonial history, McGrath’s study demonstrates vividly how interracial relationships between Indigenous and colonizing peoples were more frequent and threatening to nation-states in the Atlantic and Pacific worlds than historians have previously acknowledged.

Описание: "A rollicking, raucous, new myth, a classic..."
A lyrical exploration of how a bully comes into being.
"'Why didn't I get a Barbie Dreamhouse for Christmas?' So asks Mina immediately after wondering if she's a racist because she's white too. Priorities, place and position move our hero from well-meaning child to disconcerted bully, borne by a fear of impotence in the world as she tests her own privileged, small power over others. Out From the Pleiades is a rich romp, chockfull of feel-good details and enough unanswered questions to make anyone secure in their moral center come, a tiny bit, undone. Ride in Mina's 'yolk-colored Subaru' as she toes the surfaces of high school, passing through the stoic suicide of 'Ginger, ' until our war protestor comes full circle to the uncharted depths of 'Yes' in soldier Violet's golden eyes - and discovers the harsher power of love's undoing."
-Amy King, poet, I Want to Make You Safe and Slaves To Do These Things
"Leslie McGrath's Out from the Pleiades is a hybrid gem, a novella in verse that works utterly both as lyric poetry and as story. The life of protagonist Mina Kali, born to the Seven Sisters - a commune of "radical warrior women"--unfolds with an epic sweep, from the moment Mina 'raged forth from the dark red dark' to her final love and loss. Out from the Pleiades is a rollicking, raucous, new myth, a classic with its head in Aristophanes and its satiric heart in the 1960s. You will read these poems aloud, laughing, and then find them sneakily haunting you."
-Susanne Paola Antonetta, poet The Lives of the Saints, and author of Make Me a Mother: a memoir
"Out from the Pleiades is a revealing character study, the story of "Mina," a bully bred from the excesses of liberal culture. It's a testament to the book's complex vision that we both condemn and ultimately empathize with Mina as she makes her way through the world. It's a master class in the psychology of intimidation, marked by McGrath's signature wit, compassion and insight." -Bruce Snider, poet, Paradise, Indiana and The Year We Studied Women
