The book looks at the traditional song Nhemamusasa, a mbira song commonly sung in Zimbabwe. It has been performed by many groups in the country of origin and many parts of the world. Fortunate Hove explores the traditional elements of the song that makes it authentically Zimbabwean and how it ties in with patterns of speech used in Shona folklore. The song brings together ancient practices of conflict resolution as well as defining gender roles in a Shona society. The period of the song coincided with a time of unrest in the country during the period of Mfecane when many Nguni regiments from Zululand broke away from Shaka, moving northwards into neighboring countries where they carried out Zulu military-style raids and abductions. The critique is a convergence of history, feminism, expressions of conflict resolution, and marriage in Shona culture.

"In this collection of 44 recipes, accompanied by poems and stories and illustrated with more than 80 photos, Mary and Kari Odden chronicle their love of one of the north's most important and delicious wild foods. Lingonberries, commonly known in Alaska as "lowbush cranberries," have as many other names as the cultures who gather them in forest and tundra all around the top of the world. Lingonberry plants sustain animals and birds through arctic and sub-arctic winters. Long valued by western and Indigenous healers for their anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties, lingonberries stubbornly thrive across fire-tapestried hillsides and even leverage themselves against pollutants. Gathered in baskets and buckets, lingonberry is an iconic northern food. The berries ripen after a few frosts, arriving on the table just in time to brighten fall harvests of vegetables and meats. The tart berries and sauces are delicious with salmon and squash, in curry and coleslaw and savory casseroles -- as well as baked into sweet combination with their classic partners, oranges and chocolate"--

"El final de la década de los ochenta coincide con el último curso de los estudios universitarios de la protagonista de esta historia. El Madrid de la movida es pues el escenario donde todo sucede a partir del axioma de la libertad. Y no sólo eso, sino que además, la vida parece ser fácil y divertida, y el éxito personal está casi asegurado.No obstante, ella camina de la mano de la frustración y de la melancolía. ¿Por qué no consigue alcanzar sus metas? ¿En qué consiste el éxito? ¿Quiénes tienen acceso a él? ¿Cómo se hace para que la libertad de los demás e incluso la tuya propia no te dañen?...En 1989 hay asuntos que todavía no han recibido un nombre revelador: el acoso entre iguales, la violencia machista, el hedonismo social... En este ambiente, la autora de este relato narra una historia que es corriente y extraordinaria a la vez, y lo hace de forma descarnada, desprovista de adornos, incisiva como un alfiler dirigido a hacer saltar por los aires miles de burbujas con historias personales de quienes creímos ser libres, sin saber que la libertad es una difícil conquista personal que requiere primero desenmascarar muchos fantasmas." Reyes Arévalo Royo

The Aces Anthology presents short stories and poems from 25 writers, focusing on Northern Nevada. Some have written as many as 40 or 50 books, while others are making their debut in this volume. Bestselling and award-winning authors are featured side-by-side with newcomers. Among the entries, Ken Sutherland's debut story "SWOOP!" was selected as one of three finalists for the prestigious John Steinbeck Award. Whether traditionally or independently published, what these stories have in common is a passion for writing and a love of the singular swath of land that stretches from Lake Tahoe west to Ely and Elko: a land of majestic mountains, painted deserts, bustling cities, and ghost towns. Many have chosen to set their stories in this region, whether in the present day, the recent past, or in the colorful era of the Old West. In the pages of this anthology, you'll read stories of faerie creatures, intrepid ghost hunters, a singing cowboy, aliens, and pioneers. You'll find murder mysteries, touching stories of love and loss, creative poetry, a touch of horror, and a few unexpected twists. Many of the authors included in this work are also showcased on a website dedicated to displaying and promoting their works: ACES of Northern Nevada. ACES (the Authors' Collective e-Shop) is an online hub set up like a virtual bookstore and designed to introduce local authors to readers from across the region and beyond. As an outgrowth of the ACES initiative, this anthology shares that purpose. You can visit the ACES website at acesofnorthernnevada.com.
