Vanishing Fleece: Adventures in American Wool - Clara Parkes - Bog - Abrams - Plusbog.dk

Vanishing Fleece: Adventures in American Wool - Clara Parkes - Bog - Abrams - Plusbog.dk

A fast-paced account of the year Clara Parkes spent transforming a 676-pound bale of fleece into saleable yarn, and the people and vanishing industry she discovered along the way Join Clara Parkes on a cross-country adventure and meet a cast of characters that includes the shepherds, dyers, and countless workers without whom our knitting needles would be empty, our mills idle, and our feet woefully cold. Travel the country with her as she meets a flock of Saxon Merino sheep in upstate New York, tours a scouring plant in Texas, visits a steamy Maine dyehouse, helps sort freshly shorn wool on a working farm, and learns how wool fleece is measured, baled, shipped, and turned into skeins. In pursuit of the perfect yarn, Parkes describes a brush with the dangers of opening a bale (they can explode), and her adventures from Maine to Wisconsin (“the most knitterly state”) and back again; along the way, she presents a behind-the-scenes look at the spinners, scourers, genius inventors, and crazy-complex mill machines that populate the yarn-making industry. By the end of the book, you’ll be ready to set aside the backyard chickens and add a flock of sheep instead. Simply put, no other book exists that explores American culture through the lens of wool.

Soldier for Equality: Jose de la Luz Saenz and the Great War - Duncan Tonatiuh - Bog - Abrams - Plusbog.dk

Soldier for Equality: Jose de la Luz Saenz and the Great War - Duncan Tonatiuh - Bog - Abrams - Plusbog.dk

Soldier for Equality: José de la Luz Sáenz and the Great War is the incredible story of one man’s fight for Mexican American civil rights, from award-winning picture book creator Duncan Tonatiuh. A 2020 Pura Belpré Award Author Honor Book A 2020 Association of Library Service to Children Notable Children's Book José de la Luz Sáenz (Luz) believed in fighting for what was right. Though born in the United States, Luz often faced prejudice because of his Mexican heritage. Determined to help his community, even in the face of discrimination, he taught school—children during the day and adults in the evenings. When World War I broke out, Luz joined the army, as did many others. His ability to quickly learn languages made him an invaluable member of the Intelligence Office in Europe. However, Luz found that prejudice followed him even to war, and despite his efforts, he often didn’t receive credit for his contributions. Upon returning home to Texas, he joined with other Mexican American veterans to create the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), which today is the largest and oldest Latinx civil rights organization. Using his signature illustration style and Luz’s diary entries from the war, award-winning author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh tells the story of a Mexican American war hero and his fight for equality.

The Balance - Aimee Boorman - Bog - Abrams - Plusbog.dk

The Balance - Aimee Boorman - Bog - Abrams - Plusbog.dk

From Paris Olympics star and legendary gymnast Simone Biles’s longtime coach, an insider’s look at the making of a champion With a Foreword by Simone Biles The Balance is coach Aimee Boorman’s inside account of the growth of a transcendent athlete and the tumultuous events—from the dictatorial coaching of Martha Karolyi to the sexual abuse by Larry Nassar—that upended the lives of many girls, including Biles. Simone Biles is one of the greatest athletes of all time. She’s won six all-around world championships and eleven Olympic medals (seven gold). Five gymnastics moves are named after her, she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom (the youngest recipient ever), and at an age when most elite gymnasts have retired, Biles is not just still competing—she’s dominating. She soared in the 2024 Paris Olympics, bringing home more Olympic gold. She’s having so much fun that LA 2028 is not out of the question. But when coach Aimee Borman met her at a gym in Texas, Simone was just a seven-year-old kid. An exceptionally athletically gifted one, to be sure, but not yet great. That would take time, care, love, and balance. Boorman helped shape Biles, both pushing her and holding her back, protecting both her mental and physical health. “She’s like a second mom to me,” writes Biles, and Boorman was the National Team coach in 2016, where the US—and Biles—took home all-around gold. The Balance combines unprecedented insider perspective on a legend, newsworthy details on gymnastics history, and compelling lessons on coaching, leadership, and development.

Lafayette! (Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales #8): A Revolutionary War Tale - Nathan Hale - Bog - Abrams - Plusbog.dk

Meet French nobleman and American Revolutionary War hero the Marquis de Lafayette in author-illustrator Nathan Hale’s New York Times bestselling Hazard Tales graphic novel series. STARRED REVIEW *“Action-packed. . . . A must-buy.” — School Library Journal “These books are, quite simply, brilliant. . . . Thrilling, bloody, action-packed stories from American history.” — New York Times Gilbert du Motier became the Marquis de Lafayette at a young age, but he was not satisfied with the comforts of French nobility. He wanted adventure! A major general by nineteen, he was eager to prove himself in battle. When he heard about the revolution going on in America, he went overseas. He fought with George Washington and Alexander Hamilton in America’s war for independence. Passionate about the American cause—and endearing—Lafayette was accepted into the Continental Army when other French officers were not because of his willingness to learn (and because his wealth meant that he didn’t require a salary). General Washington took him under his wing, and Lafayette’s loyalty to the commander-in-chief even saved Washington from a plot to remove him from command. Lafayette would become a legend on both sides of the Atlantic and a symbol of the enduring friendship between America and France. Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales! Read them all—if you dare!

Raid of No Return (Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales #7) - Nathan Hale - Bog - Abrams - Plusbog.dk

In author-illustrator Nathan Hale’s Raid of No Return , go behind the scenes of World War II’s top-secret Doolittle Raid with the New York Times bestselling Hazardous Tales graphic novel series! “These books are, quite simply, brilliant. . . . Thrilling, bloody, action-packed stories from American history.” — New York Times Presented in the author’s instantly recognizable artistic and storytelling style, this colorful, exciting book of history for kids starts with a brief explanation of the events leading up to World War II and then describes the bombing of Pearl Harbor from both the Japanese and American points of view. The American response was a super-secret counterattack organized by stunt pilot Jimmy Doolittle. Just four months after Pearl Harbor, American crews would launch sixteen B-25 bombers from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet to drop bombs on the Japanese capital Tokyo and then fly to safety in China. Everything about the mission was as dangerous as it was secret. B-25s were not designed to take off from an aircraft carrier. Japan had formidable air defenses. There was no way to plan for landing in China or returning safely to America. The Doolittle Raid, as it became known, went down in military history as one of the most creative and harrowing missions of World War II. The pilots and crews became American heroes.

Discover the Korean War through the eyes of a journalist who covered it in author-illustrator Nathan Hale’s Cold War Correspondent , a Hazardous Tale in the New York Times bestselling graphic novel series. In 1950, Marguerite Higgins (1920–1966) was made bureau chief of the Far East Asia desk for the New York Herald Tribune . Tensions were high on the Korean peninsula, where a border drawn after WWII split the country into North and South. When the North Korean army crossed the border with Soviet tanks, it was war. Marguerite was there when the Communists captured Seoul. She fled with the refugees heading south, but when the bridges were blown over the Han River, she was trapped in enemy territory. Her eyewitness account of the invasion was a newspaper smash hit. She risked her life in one dangerous situation after another––all for the sake of a good story. Then she was told that women didn’t belong on the frontlines. The United States Army officially ordered her out of Korea. She appealed to General Douglas MacArthur, and he personally lifted the ban on female war correspondents, which allowed her the chance to report on many of the major events of the Korean War.

In The Underground Abductor , #1 New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Nathan Hale tells an abolitionist tale about Harriet Tubman in the Hazardous Tales graphic novel series! “These books are, quite simply, brilliant. . . . Thrilling, bloody, action-packed stories from American history.” — New York Times Araminta Ross was an enslaved woman born in Delaware. After years of backbreaking labor and the constant threat of being sold and separated from her family, she escaped north to freedom. Once there, she changed her name to Harriet Tubman. She would go down in history as a hero and spy who helped hundreds of enslaved people run away and find freedom by following the Underground Railroad. Here is the true tale of a remarkable African American woman, told as a story filled with danger, espionage, and even humor. Beginning with Tubman’s childhood—and discussing other notables in the war against slavery such as Nat Turner and Frederick Douglass, as well as the issue of slavery and its effect on the nation’s history—here is the breathless, terrifying true story of Tubman on the Underground Railroad, where she risked her own life over and over again to bring others to freedom. This telling of Tubman’s story brings to life the tale of a remarkable Black woman who has gone down in history as an American heroine. Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales! Read them all—if you dare!

Desert by Design - Molly Mandell - Bog - Abrams - Plusbog.dk

Desert by Design - Molly Mandell - Bog - Abrams - Plusbog.dk

Desert by Design celebrates the interior worlds that exist in Earth’s most arid climes and, more importantly, the creative minds who inhabit them It is an ode to these landscapes—their sounds, smells, flora, and fauna—filled with equal parts mystery and beauty and a glimpse into the projects and lives of those who have chosen to call them home. Deserts are known to be sensitive ecosystems where adaptability and resilience become common currency, requiring humans to live within the environment rather than apart from it. The result is a people who are inspired by challenge and who constantly create and innovate, a notion that set in for Marfa, Texas-based desert dwellers Molly Mandell and James Burke as they took off on a quest to identify thirty incredible spaces across the globe. By area, deserts make up a third of the planet’s landmass, so Mandell and Burke had a lot of ground to cover. They made their way through the southwestern United States, down to Mexico and Argentina, and across the pond to Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, and the Canary Islands. They traveled to Rajasthan, India, and to a micro-desert in New Zealand. They visited high desert and low desert, urban desert and rural desert, sandy desert and scrubby desert. They photographed everything from iconic properties inhabited by Yves Saint Laurent, César Manrique, and Donald Judd to thoughtfully curated, centuries-old adobe structures and modern, groundbreaking ones, all the while interviewing the choreographers, hoteliers, sculptors, environmentalists, chefs, audio engineers, and preservationists who bring them to life. Desert by Design —its genuine, beautiful, and unexpected approach—is decidedly not your average interiors book. From tips for cultivating the intimate and unpretentious environment that is synonymous with the desert to images that evoke mindful living, it is both an homage to this unique and dynamic climate—its most extraordinary places and memorable personalities—and a manual for adopting elements of this lifestyle, no matter our location. Yes, this publication is for desert people, those who reside in it or who simply resonate with it. But it likewise exists for all of us who are seeking authentic design inspiration or courage to take the path less traveled, regardless of where we hang our hats.

A Man Called Horse: John Horse and the Black Seminole Underground Railroad - Glennette Tilley Turner - Bog - Abrams - Plusbog.dk

A Man Called Horse: John Horse and the Black Seminole Underground Railroad - Glennette Tilley Turner - Bog - Abrams - Plusbog.dk

From award-winning children’s author Glennette Tilley Turner , a daring account of Black Seminole warrior, chief, and diplomat John Horse and the route he forged on the Underground Railroad to gain freedom for his people John Horse (c. 1812–1882, also known as Juan Caballo) was a famed chief, warrior, tactician, and diplomat who played a dominant role in Black Seminole affairs for half a century. His story is central to that of the Black Seminoles—descendants of Seminole Indians, free Blacks, and escaped slaves who formed an alliance in Spanish Florida. A political and military leader of mixed Seminole and African heritage, Horse defended his people from the US government, other tribes, and slave hunters. A Man Called Horse focuses on the little-known life of Horse while also putting into historical perspective the larger story of Native Americans and especially Black Seminoles, helping to connect the missing “dots” in this period. After fighting during the Second Seminole War (1835–1842), one of the longest and most costly Native American conflicts in US history, Horse negotiated terms with the federal government and later became a guide and interpreter. Forced to relocate, he led a group of Black Seminoles to find a new home, first heading westward to Texas and later to Mexico. Glennette Tilley Turner worked with descendants of Horse, who provided oral histories as well as many photographs and other artifacts. Her expertly researched and vetted biography depicts Horse as a complex, fascinating figure who served in many varied roles, including as a counselor of fellow Seminole leaders, an agent of the US government, and a captain in the Mexican army. But no matter the part he played, one thing remained constant: Whether in battle or at the negotiating table, Horse fought tirelessly to help his people survive. The story of John Horse is a tale of daring, intrigue, and the lifelong quest for freedom. The book includes black-and-white archival photos throughout (though the book is designed in full color), as well as a map, timeline, author’s note, endnotes, and select bibliography.

A vibrant celebration of surfers in and out of the water from an award-winning photographer. Here is an overfilled, beautiful book of the surf life, perfect for any coffee table and a great gift for anyone with a love of waves. Professional photographer Thom Gilbert spent four years among surfer royalty at the top of their game—in Spain, New York, California, and Hawaii—with his camera trained not only on tiny figures disappearing in the waves, but also on the surfers’ faces and bodies back on land. He returned from the beaches with intimate portraits of the world’s best—from the newest talent to the oldest and most revered—and also with dramatic action shots and revealing images of the culture. Surfing is a sport, a lifestyle, and an extreme sport. Surfers, both men and women, have their choice of how to face the ocean and the challenges it provides. They can explore the meditative calming experience of waiting and catching great waves. That happens on every seacoast in every part of the world—from the Hamptons to Florida and Texas to the Southern California coast made popular by the Beach Boys. They can take on the biggest, most dangerous waves in the world in places like Mavericks, California, and Nazaré, Portugal, where surfing is an extreme sport. Or they can compete, earn big money and corporate sponsors, and join the tournament circuit that travels the world from Hawaii to Australia to South Africa. No matter which choice you make, these images will strike a chord. You’ll see it in the faces and bodies of the surfers. In the water, waves, and coasts featured, you’ll find the same joy and thrill that you get from your surfing experience. The book features 300 photographs along with Q&As and handwritten contributions from prominent figures in the world surf scene. With a foreword by Garrett McNamara, Guinness World Record holder and star of the hit miniseries 100 Foot Wave , Waves is an ode to surfing and to the men and women who live it every day.

For their groundbreaking new book, journalist Nico Lang spent a year traveling the country to document the lives of transgender, nonbinary, and genderfluid teens and their families. Drawing on hundreds of hours of on-the-ground interviews with them and the people in their communities, American Teenager paints a vivid portrait of what it’s actually like to grow up trans today. From the tip of Florida’s conservative panhandle to vibrant queer communities in California, and from Texas churches to mosques in Illinois, American Teenager gives readers a window into the lives of Wyatt, Rhydian, Mykah, Clint, Ruby, Augie, Jack, and Kylie, eight teens who, despite what some lawmakers might want us to believe, are truly just kids looking for a brighter future. “With heartfelt empathy, Nico Lang uncovers the human stories overshadowed by political rhetoric, showcasing the struggles and resilience of transgender youth amidst adversity while simultaneously amplifying their voices, which are all too often silenced.” —JAZZ JENNINGS, author of Being Jazz: My Life as a (Transgender) Teen and I Am Jazz “An urgently necessary book. By allowing trans teens to tell their stories themselves, Lang has given them—and by extension, all of us—a great gift.” —HUGH RYAN, award-winning author of When Brooklyn Was Queer “Lang weaves this broad bleak terrain with warm insights and a clear immediacy of message. Expansive and compassionate.” ― G ABE DUNN, New York Times bestselling author of I Hate Everyone But You “Lang’s excellent reporting reminds us all of our shared humanity.” —BRIAN K. BOND, CEO, PFLAG National “ An absolute must-read. An evocative and authentic story that is intimate and illuminating.” —RODRIGO HENG-LEHTINEN, Executive Director of the National Center for Transgender Equity
