A magnificent new history of the USA from independence to Trump 2.0Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness... In the 250 years since the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jeffersons unalienable rights have often been thwarted by slavery, war and economic crisis. Yet if today the USA does not always seem to be the shining city on a hill dreamed of by so many, it is unquestionably the worlds most powerful nation a source both of fear and wonder, inspiration and mockery.With elegance and wit, Don Watson dissects the ignominies and triumphs of American history. He traces the course of liberty and justice alongside violence and oppression, showing how a country at war with itself in the 1860s became the leader of the free world less than a century later and the unquiet, riven nation of today.This is the concise, indispensable story of a country whose past has never been more alive.

Tedd lives with her parents on a farm in the Icelandic wilderness. Its 1962, and the world is changing, although you wouldnt know it from the stark quiet of the lava fields and mountains that mark the boundaries of the young womans existence. But after two chance encounters, Tedds dreams of a world beyond begin to crystallise, albeit in strange and unexpected ways, as we follow one womans life over five decades, from farm to city to the skies. Taking us from the grandeur of rural Iceland to the glossy, sticky world of 1970s air travel, via check fraud, thwarted ambition and lost astronauts, Boudoir is a novel about reinvention, dislocation, and the forceful gravity of the lives and selves we think weve left behind.

Vázquez was born in nineteen ninety-one, in San Luis, a town thirty kilometers from Santiago de Cuba, and raised by his mothers family. At twenty-seven, he moved to Hungary, where, after a few employment tribulations, he opened his own restaurant, only to lose it to tax wrongdoings and governmental greed, a loss that was matched with a period marked by several personal tragedies. This great loss, as he says, took him down into the (ab)use of organic drugs, to numb the pain. Aware that his personal situation wouldnt be viable in the long term, and unable to aord therapy, he turned his attention inward and allowed himself to follow the messages of his dreams.This book portrays Vazquezs personal healing process through fifty-three dreams that Vazquez interpreted using Jungian psycho-alchemy and esoteric tools, such as the Tarot and Kabbalahs Tree of Life. His healing journey set him on the path of Jungian individuation, leading him to find the salvation from the darkness he desperately sought. An extra twenty-four dreams are included, to make a total of seventy-seven dream narratives. Vazquez illustrated all of the images -artwork and digital renderings.
