In 1937 Ernest Hemingway traveled to Spain to cover the civil war there for the North American Newspaper Alliance. Three years later he completed the greatest novel to emerge from “the good fight,” For Whom the Bell Tolls. The story of Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain, it tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat, and the tragic death of an ideal. In his portrayal of Jordan's love for the beautiful Maria and his superb account of El Sordo's last stand, in his brilliant travesty of La Pasionaria and his unwillingness to believe in blind faith, Hemingway surpasses his achievement in The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms to create a work at once rare and beautiful, strong and brutal, compassionate, moving, and wise. “If the function of a writer is to reveal reality,” Maxwell Perkins wrote to Hemingway after reading the manuscript, “no one ever so completely performed it.” Greater in power, broader in scope, and more intensely emotional than any of the author's previous works, it stands as one of the best war novels of all time.

"I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to." And, as soon as Bill Bryson was old enough, he left. Des Moines couldn't hold him, but it did lure him back. After ten years in England he returned to the land of his youth, and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of smiling village where the movies from his youth were set. Instead he drove through a series of horrific burgs, which he renamed Smellville, Fartville, Coleslaw, Coma, and Doldrum. At best his search led him to Anywhere, USA, a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels and hamburger outlets populated by obese and slow-witted hicks with a partiality for synthetic fibres. He discovered a continent that was doubly lost: lost to itself because he found it blighted by greed, pollution, mobile homes and television; lost to him because he had become a foreigner in his own country.

Isaac Cooper, a cantankerous character with a dry wit and reluctant to join the modern world around him, is a Gulf Coast Fisherman born and raised on Galveston Island. For twenty six years, he has run a marginally successful fishing business and serving as a 49% owner. That is until, the majority owner and widow of his former boss; Thelma Dotson offers to sell him the remaining 51% before she moves to California. The catch, he only has four months to come up with $300,000, almost ten times what he cleared in the previous year after taxes. After twenty-six years, his goal is finally in reach and he has no idea how to achieve it. Isaac has never been someone to live up to expectations. As a former high school football star gone bust, the son of an alcoholic who died in an oil rig fire when Isaac was a boy, whose failed marriage led to a daughter he never sees and is haunted by the death of his strong-willed, devoutly Catholic mother, he has purposely kept to himself in his ramshackle house on the beach with the mangy mutt he rescued after Hurricane Ike. All of that changes when Isaac sees the possibility of being his own man. After a rare successful catch at the end of shrimp season, Isaac celebrates with his men, only to stumble upon an intense car wreck during an early winter storm, leaving the driver in a coma and a young mother Natalie and her infant daughter Kyleigh stranded, not knowing a soul. Isaac finds himself drawn to Natalie, puts her up in the grand Victorian house in town that has belonged to his family since shortly after the 1900 Hurricane. In the meantime, Isaac's out-of-control fifteen-year old daughter Elena runs away from home to come live with him. Having never been part of her life since Elena was a little girl, he now finds himself forced not only to be a provider, but a father of a teenager whose difficult nature and failure to reach her potential is similar to his own. All of these complications, plus the appearance of a first-mate, young, optimistic, ambitious Mexican immigrant named Manny, an overly eager young priest Father Martin, the encroachments of twenty-first century life on an island proud of its former glory and worried about its uncertain future, and a younger, more successful brother's suspicious motives and generosity will lead Isaac Cooper to discover who he really is and to realize that he is truly A Piece of the Continent.

The region of the São Francisco river valley in eastern Brazil encompasses two main components of the geologic framework of the South American continent: the São Francisco craton and its marginal orogenic belts. Cratons, as the oldest, differentiated and relatively stable pieces of the continental lithosphere, preserve a substantial part of the Earth's memory. Orogenic belts, on the other hand, record collisional processes that occurred during a limited time span. Because of their topographic relief, mountain belts developed along craton margins provide however access to rock successions not exposed in the low lands of the adjacent cratons. The combination of geologic information obtained in cratonic domains and their marginal orogenic belts thus form the basis for deciphering substantial periods of Earth’s history. Corresponding to the most intensively studied portion of the Precambrian nucleus of the South American plate, the São Francisco craton and its margins host a rock record that spans from the Paleoarchean to the Cenozoic. Precambrian sedimentary successions that witness ancient Earth processes - many of them of global significance - are especially well preserved and exposed in this region. With all these attributes the São Francisco craton together with its fringing orogenic belts can be viewed as a ‘continent within a continent’ or a ‘continent in miniature’.
