Growing Up in Baltimore: A Photographic History (Images of America)
by Eden Unger BowditchChronicling the period from the mid-nineteenth century to the early 1900s through striking vintage photographs, Growing Up in Baltimore pays tribute to the enduring courage and spirit of children. In a city that has been, at once, blessed with a rich port and torn apart by war, filled with pristine parks and scarred by the ravages of industrial life, childhood has reflected the ever-changing times and culture in American life. From baseball games and trips to the zoo to schoolyard pals and amusement park rides, children explored the world around them. But the nostalgia and innocence of well-born youth mingled with the harsher realities that many boys and girls knew as their daily lives-laboring in the mills and factories, the haphazard destruction of fires and storms, the segregation of public places, the cold and hunger so keenly felt during the Great Depression.

Guarding Door County: Lighthouses and Lifesaving Stations
by Stacy Thomas Virginia ThomasJutting out of Wisconsin into the blue waters of Lake Michigan, the scenic peninsula of Door County is endowed with the longest coastline of any county in the nation. Since the mid-1800s, the region has boasted a strong maritime industry, dependent on the constant vigilance and efforts of U.S. Coast Guard units. The county has been home to as many as 12 historic light stations, as well as three life-saving stations. Beginning with Pottawatomie Light in 1837 and Sturgeon Bay Canal Life-Saving Station in 1886, keepers and surfmen survived both boredom and peril to ensure safe navigation and commerce, while rescuing those in distress. Through archival photographs, stories ofshipwrecks, rescues, service, and pride spring to life. Rare rescue images of the Otter, a schooner which wrecked in 1895, are especially noteworthy.

The Guatemala Reader: History, Culture, Politics
by Deborah T. Levenson Elizabeth Oglesby Greg GrandinThis reader brings together more than 200 texts and images in a broad introduction to Guatemala's history, culture, and politics. In choosing the selections, the editors sought to avoid representing the country only in terms of its long experience of conflict, racism, and violence. And so, while offering many perspectives on that violence, this anthology portrays Guatemala as a real place where people experience joys and sorrows that cannot be reduced to the contretemps of resistance and repression. It includes not only the opinions of politicians, activists, and scholars, but also poems, songs, plays, jokes, novels, short stories, recipes, art, and photographs that capture the diversity of everyday life in Guatemala. The editors introduce all of the selections, from the first piece, an excerpt from the Popol Vuh, a mid-sixteenth-century text believed to be the single most important source documenting pre-Hispanic Maya culture, through the final selections, which explore contemporary Guatemala in relation to neoliberalism, multiculturalism, and the dynamics of migration to the United States and of immigrant life. Many pieces were originally published in Spanish, and most of those appear in English for the first time.
Guatemalan Journey
by Stephen Connely BenzGuatemala draws some half million tourists each year, whose brief visits to the ruins of ancient Maya cities and contemporary highland Maya villages may give them only a partial and folkloric understanding of Guatemalan society. In this vividly written travel narrative, Stephen Connely Benz explores the Guatemala that casual travelers miss, using his encounters with ordinary Guatemalans at the mall, on the streets, at soccer games, and even at the funeral of massacre victims to illuminate the social reality of Guatemala today. The book opens with an extended section on the capital, Guatemala City, and then moves out to the more remote parts of the country where the Guatemalan Indians predominate. Benz offers us a series of intelligent and sometimes humorous perspectives on Guatemala's political history and the role of the military, the country's environmental degradation, the influence of foreign missionaries, and especially the impact of the United States on Guatemala, from governmental programs to fast food franchises.

Guesswork: A Reckoning with Loss
by Martha Cooley[A] splendid and subtle memoir in essays The New York Times Book Review Having lost eight friends in ten years, Cooley retreats to a tiny medieval village in Italy with her husband. There, in a rural paradise where bumblebees nest in the ancient cemetery and stray cats curl up on her bed, she examines a question both easily evaded and unavoidable: mortality. How do we grieve? How do we go on drinking our morning coffee, loving our life partners, stumbling through a world of such confusing, exquisite beauty? Linking the essays is Cooleys escalating understanding of another loss on the way, that of her ailing mother back in the States. Blind since Cooleys childhood, her mother relies on dry wit to ward off grief and pity. There seems no way for the two of them to discuss her impending death. But somehow, by the end, Cooley finds the words, each one graceful and wrenching. Part memoir, part loving goodbye to an unconventional parent, Guesswork transforms a year in a pastoral hill town into a fierce examination of life, love, death, and, ultimately, release.

Guía maravillosa de la Costa atlántica
by Andrés Gallina Matías MoscardiUn catálogo fantástico de animales, personajes, misterios y maravillas de la Costa atlántica argentina, en verano y en invierno, que es a la vez guía alucinada para perderse por sus playas. Verdadera Lonely Planet de la costa escrita con el pulso de la poesía. «Mi mamá vino de Entre Ríos para trabajar con una familia cama adentro: los Usni. Cuando éramos chicos, solíamos ir a visitar a los Usni a Mar del Plata, al edificio Havanna, como se le dice porque tiene un inmenso cartel de esa marca de alfajores. Mi madre solía contarme que una vez, estando en Mardel con los Usni, vio una ola de veinte metros que arrasó con todo. Y que ella se salvó porque no había llegado a la playa. Siempre me llamó la atención que sobre esa ola no se hablara nada. Hasta llegué a pensar que podía ser una fábula. Pero en este libro genial, de Andrés Gallina y Matías Moscardi, el hecho está reseñado: el 21 de enero de 1954, tres olas inmensas impactaron sobre la playa. Fue el único tsunami de la Costa atlántica. Mi madre era muy chica para haber estado ahí: o se lo contaron y lo agregó a su relato, o me lo contó como si se lo hubieran contado y, en mi memoria, elegí que le pasara a ella, como sucede en los sueños. La Guía maravillosa de la Costa atlántica produce eso: que algo tan cotidiano para muchos, en época de vacaciones, se vuelva un misterio. Este es un libro sobre el mar, el viento y las olas, los lobos marinos, los balnearios y los faros, los muelles y las escolleras, las rarezas costeras y las tienditas de suvenires. Pero también, y sobre todo, es un poema inmenso, raro, inestable. Después de leerlo, la Costa atlántica se convierte en otra cosa: un lugar fabuloso donde por la rambla vemos pasar al Patinador Sagrado».Fabián Casas
