The sleds were singing their eternal lament to the creaking of the harness and the tinkling bells of the leaders; but the men and dogs were tired and made no sound. The trail was heavy with new-fallen snow, and they had come far, and the runners, burdened with flint-like quarters of frozen moose, clung tenaciously to the unpacked surface and held back with a stubbornness almost human. Darkness was coming on, but there was no camp to pitch that night. The snow fell gently through the pulseless air, not in flakes, but in tiny frost crystals of delicate design. It was very warm—barely ten below zero—and the men did not mind. Meyers and Bettles had raised their ear flaps, while Malemute Kid had even taken off his mittens.

The year is 1983, and Chuck Klosterman just wants to rock. But he's got problems. For one, he's in the fifth grade. For another, he lives in rural North Dakota. Worst of all, his parents aren't exactly down with the long hairstyle which rocking requires. Luckily, his brother saves the day when he brings home a bit of manna from metal heaven, SHOUT AT THE DEVIL, Motley Crue's seminal paean to hair-band excess. And so Klosterman's twisted odyssey begins, a journey spent worshipping at the heavy metal altar of Poison, Lita Ford and Guns N' Roses. In the hilarious, young-man-growing-up-with-a-soundtrack-tradition, FARGO ROCK CITY chronicles Klosterman's formative years through the lens of heavy metal, the irony-deficient genre that, for better or worse, dominated the pop charts throughout the 1980s. For readers of Dave Eggers, Lester Bangs, and Nick Hornby, Klosterman delivers all the goods: from his first dance (with a girl) and his eye-opening trip to Mandan with the debate team; to his list of 'essential' albums; and his thoughtful analysis of the similarities between Guns 'n' Roses' 'Lies' and the gospels of the New Testament.

This groundbreaking volume offers a fresh approach to conceptualizing the historical geography of North America by taking a thematic rather than a traditional regional perspective. Leading geographers, building on current scholarship in the field, explore five central themes. Part I explores the settling and resettling of the continent through the experiences of Native Americans, early European arrivals, and Africans. Part II examines nineteenth-century European immigrants, the reconfiguration of Native society, and the internal migration of African Americans. Part III considers human transformations of the natural landscape in carving out a transportation network, replumbing waterways, extracting timber and minerals, preserving wilderness, and protecting wildlife. Part IV focuses on human landscapes, blending discussions of the visible imprint of society and distinctive approaches to interpreting these features. The authors discuss survey systems, regional landscapes, and tourist and mythic landscapes as well as the role of race, gender, and photographic representation in shaping our understanding of past landscapes. Part V follows the urban impulse in an analysis of the development of the mercantile city, nineteenth- and twentieth-century planning, and environmental justice. With its focus on human-environment interactions, the mobility of people, and growing urbanization, this thoughtful text will give students a uniquely geographical way to understand North American history.

Scegli di leggere il meglio in lingua originale! Dall’autore che ha creato il mito di Zanna Bianca, un racconto avventuroso ambientato tra i mari e i ghiacci. Sta calando la sera, i finimenti delle slitte stridono e i cani ansimano, oberati dal carico di quarti di renna ghiacciati; è l’epoca della mitica corsa all’oro e in una baracca, nei glaciali paesaggi dello Yukon, avviene l’incontro tra Malemute Kid – il padrone di casa – e uno strano, indecifrabile nativo, che Kid soprannomina He of the otter skin e che suscita subito la sua curiosità e simpatia. Ed è la triste e lunga storia di questo nativo l’Odissea che dà il titolo al racconto. L’«Uomo delle pelli di lontra» è infatti una figura misteriosa, di cui Kid sa solo che anni addietro era sceso dai territori del Nord, nel cuore dell’inverno, costeggiando il Mare di Bering e viaggiando come se avesse il diavolo alle calcagna: nessuno sapeva da dove venisse, ma era chiaro che doveva essere andato molto lontano... Tempo dopo, per onorare un debito contratto all’epoca di questo incontro, He of the otter skin, ferito e stremato, raggiungerà Kid nella sua baracca e, accucciato accanto al fuoco, gli racconterà la sua vita. Una storia triste e dura, d’amore e di vendetta, di tenace rispetto delle tradizioni e di sanguinosa scoperta delle differenze incolmabili tra uomini e culture, che si svolge in un epico viaggiare per anni attraverso mari e continenti, per ritornare infine – non solo metaforicamente – al luogo da cui questa storia era iniziata. Pubblicato quando lo scrittore aveva ventiquattro anni, questo racconto va oltre il classico tema londoniano dell’epica lotta dell’uomo contro la natura ed entra nell’arena insanguinata dell’aspra lotta dell’uomo contro l’uomo. Incentrato sull’amara storia di un nativo americano, ha un valore universale, tanto che nel 1914 la Paramount Picture ne ha tratto un film. Racconto originale in versione integrale arricchito da: - esercizi e attività linguistiche; - glossario delle parole più interessanti o difficili; - audiolibro integrale in omaggio. Si segnala al lettore che nel testo sono presenti esercizi e attività linguistiche che richiederebbero l'uso di carta e penna
