In the quaint town where silence whispers secrets, young Caleb's life is rooted in ordinary days, until the new girl of the village steps into his world. Her presence is a mystery, her past a shadow, yet the allure of love draws Caleb into the unknown, unravelling his existence in ways unimaginable. As sinister forces emerge from the gloom, their tranquil town morphs into a playground of unseen malevolence. With an evil unknown chasing their shadows, they find themselves on a perilous run, a chase that leads them through a portal into realms veiled from human eyes. Now in a dimension where evil reigns with a dark hand, they face a malevolent force that thrives in the abyss. Battling a terror they barely comprehend, the stakes are life and death, with love being their only shield. Will they win this fight? Is it really love? Or will they die for each other? In this dangerous quest for victory, will love conquer all, or will it be their downfall?

A witty, expansive narrative that reveals the real story of the people and places that makes up the Golden State.A witty, expansive narrative that reveals the real story of the people and places that makes up the Golden State. From the European conquest to today’s economic crisis, Californians have experienced tumultuous growth and painful conflicts. Like the grinding of tectonic plates that has produced the state’s very landscape, these encounters, disputes, and transformations have continuously made and remade California. California: On-the-Road History doesn’t relate the cleaned-up tale of the California dream that school textbooks and the tourism commission tell. Rather it presents the sometimes bitter, sometimes triumphant history behind the California myth. Included are recommended museums, state parks, and other attractions, alongside literary excerpts from local authors who give readers a sense of California in different eras.On-the-Road Histories Interlink’s new travel series is a glorious, full-color salute to the cultural, geographic, and historical riches of the United States. These brief histories are as idiosyncratic as the individual states themselves: here a treatise on country music; there a brief history of North American mountain climbing. Each volume nevertheless shares elements that make any one of them a literate companion for that American classic: the road trip.Featuring · Historical maps · Full-color & b&w photographs · Must-see sites · Famous sons & daughters · Literary extracts

Natürlich wohnt Donald Duck eigentlich in Entenhausen, Winnie Puuh im Hundertsechzig-Morgen-Wald, Schneewittchen in Deutschland und die Wunderland-Reisende Alice irgendwo im viktorianischen England, ihren Zweitwohnsitz haben sie jedoch alle am selben Ort, im kalifornischen Anaheim. Anfang der 1950er-Jahre realisierte Walt Disney hier seinen lang gehegten Traum, einen Vergnügungspark zu errichten, in dem die Besucher all seinen Trickfilmfiguren begegnen und eine Reise durch die amerikanische Geschichte machen können, vom Wilden Westen bis zur Zukunft im Weltraum. Unter Walt Disneys Leitung verwandelten Architekten, Künstler, Ingenieure und eine Legion von Bauarbeitern ein paar Hektar Orangenhain in ein Reich ewiger Adoleszenz, in ein Ausflugs- und Ferienziel, das jedes Kind in den USA unbedingt einmal besuchen möchte. In den frühen Fünfzigerjahren war es dann so weit. Heutzutage gibt es Disney-Freizeitanlagen von Paris bis Schanghai, doch das Original-Disneyland in Anaheim (Kalifornien) ist nach wie vor eine der beliebtesten Attraktionen der USA und lockt Jahr für Jahr über 16 Millionen Besucher aus aller Welt an. Dieser Bildband stützt sich auf Disneys umfangreiche Archive, Privatsammlungen und Pressearchive und zeigt die Geschichte Disneylands, von den ersten Entwürfen bis heute. Originaldokumente und Hintergrundinformationen machen diese handliche Ausgabe zu einer Fundgrube für alle Disney-Fans, Märchengläubige, ewige Kinder und Pop-Historiker.

The US government justified its World War II occupation of Alaska as a defense against Japan¿s invasion of the Aleutian Islands, but it equally served to advance colonial expansion in relation to the geographically and culturally diverse Indigenous communities affected. Offering important Alaska Native experiences of this history, Holly Miowak Guise draws on a wealth of oral histories and interviews with Indigenous elders to explore the multidimensional relationship between Alaska Natives and the US military during the Pacific War.The forced relocation and internment of Unangax¿ in 1942 proved a harbinger of Indigenous loss and suffering in World War II Alaska. Violence against Native women, assimilation and Jim Crow segregation, and discrimination against Native servicemen followed the colonial blueprint. Yet Alaska Native peoples took steps to enact their sovereignty and restore equilibrium to their lives by resisting violence and disrupting attempts at US control. Their subversive actions altered the colonial structures imposed upon them by maintaining Indigenous spaces and asserting sovereignty over their homelands.A multifaceted challenge to conventional histories, Alaska Native Resilience shares the experiences of Indigenous peoples from across Alaska to reveal long-overlooked demonstrations of Native opposition to colonialism.

In the summer of 1967, twelve young men ascended Alaska's Mount McKinley—known to the locals as Denali. Engulfed by a once-in-alifetime blizzard, only five made it back down. Andy Hall, a journalist and son of the park superintendent at the time, was living in the park when the tragedy occurred and spent years tracking down rescuers, survivors, lost documents, and recordings of radio communications. In Denali's Howl, Hall reveals the full story of the expedition in a powerful retelling that will mesmerize the climbing community as well as anyone interested in mega-storms and man's sometimes deadly drive to challenge the forces of nature.

An iconic story of the American West with an unexpected twist.

The passion for flight has seized Alaska flyers--and those who yearn to fly to the Last Frontier--since 1913, when the first biplane arrived in crates via steamship and paddle-wheeler. In the decades to follow, Alaska's skies buzzed with aircraft--some brand-new, others patched together, and still others lovingly restored to their original beauty. "Alaska's Bush Planes" offers a brief history of flight in Alaska, then transports the reader on a visual journey with favorite aircraft, some of which have served for decades. It's a perfect book for the pilot--or the pilot wannabe--who dreams of flying in the Northland.

Westwater Lost and Found: Expanded Edition is the continuing story of Westwater--a relatively short, deep canyon near the Utah-Colorado state line that has become one of the most popular river-running destinations in America--and its lasting significance to the study of the Upper Colorado River.
