Book Description
"America, home of the brave and the free" This is a well-deserved description of America, but it hardly describes the complexity of our great nation. Describing America would be like describing a large, moving picture that is constantly changing. Each of its many components is different than all the others. To understand America one would have to understand every individual, in every culture, in every community. To leave out any piece of the big picture would distort America's image and deny the opportunity to know America itself. This book gives the reader a piece of the big picture that represents a bygone era. As a nation, we have made a lot of progress over the years and we can be proud of our accomplishments, but we should remember, our roots are the foundation of our success. Go back in time with the author to relive the old stories just as they happened in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s in rural Arkansas. Experience the humor, nostalgia, and the tragedy of a bygone era. Each reader will experience something different, but will come away enlightened having enjoyed these glimpses of a simpler time.

Book Description
In language as perceptive as it is poignant, poet Gwen Nell Westerman builds a world in words that reflects the past, present, and future of the Dakota people. An intricate balance between the singularity of personal experience and the unity of collective longing, Follow the Blackbirds speaks to the affection and appreciation a contemporary poet feels for her family, community, and environment. With touches of humor and the occasional sharp cultural criticism, the voice that emerges from these poems is that of a Dakota woman rooted in her world and her words. In this moving collection, Westerman reflects on history and family from a unique perspective, one that connects the painful past and the hard-fought future of her Dakota homeland. Grounded in vivid story and memory, Westerman draws on both English and the Dakota language to celebrate the long journey along sunflower-lined highways of the tallgrass prairies of the Great Plains that returns her to a place filled with “more than history.” An intense homage to the power of place, this book tells a masterful story of cultural survival and the power of language.

Book Description
Continuous prosperity can be within our grasp provided we institute the simple economic reform fully documented in these pages. This is what this book promises Most readers will get a tax break Absolutely no taxes on produced things All land-sites would be used productively No diminution at all in government revenues It sounds almost too good to be true, but these four benefits have already occurred whenever it has been tried in actual practice. This is important - a proposal must be not only simple and logical, but tested. Prospective readers should know that there is a veritable mountain of empirical evidence proving each of these four points see chapter three. Much more hard empirical evidence is available, but uppermost in the author's mind was the readability of this book. Heavy subject, light treatment. You be the judge. If this simple proposal is not enacted, then America and the other democracies in the world will slowly tax themselves into "benevolent" dictatorship (no doubt still called democracy) and socialism (probably called compassion). It's happening already. Free enterprise can't work without it and will soon disappear. You should know that literally hundreds of well-known historical figures and urban experts have endorsed this proposal see chapter five. You could know what they know? To find out what this proposal is, you will have to read the book. Suffice it to say here that there is a good tax that actually promotes the economy, even if the revenue it produces is thrown away! If this book's proposal can accomplish the above four benefits, this book then is truly epochal.The proposal becomes the most important idea since the beginning of human history. Simplicity and readability these have been the watchwords of the author while writing this book. He has not found it necessary to obfuscate. It has been his primary intention to make this book not only vitally important but a joy to read no jargon allowed.
