Paradise lost / by Milton, John,1608-1674,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Blind, broken by the death of his wife and bitterly disappointed by the Restoration, Milton dictated his sweeping biblical epic Paradise Lost to a series of helpers. While the struggle between God and Satan rages across the cosmos, the human tragedy of Adam and Eve--the temptation and fall--is movingly depicted in language unsurpassed in its musicality and beauty. A staggering and audacious undertaking--seeking, in Milton's words, to "justify the ways of God to men"--Paradise Lost has been revered since its initial publication, inspiring writers from Mary Shelley to William Wordsworth, and is widely considered to be the greatest poem ever written in the English language."--

Fall down 7 times, get up 8 : a young man's voice from the silence of autism / by Higashida, Naoki,1992-author.; Yoshida, KA,translator.; Mitchell, David(David Stephen),translator.;
"A follow-up to its bestselling predecessor, The reason I jump opens an extraordinary, rare window into the mind and world of an autistic, non-verbal person -- now coping with a young man's life. Naoki Higashida wrote The reason I jump as a 13-year-old boy with severe autism, giving us all insight into a world never before open to us. Now he shares his thoughts and experiences as a 24-year-old. Based on his hugely successful blogs in Japan, he gives us, in short powerful chapters, his moving, beautiful insights into life, identity, education, his family, our society, and personal growth. He allows readers to experience profound moments we take for granted, like the thought-steps necessary for him to register that it's raining outside. Introduced by award-winning author David Mitchell (co-translator with his wife KA Yoshida), this book is part memoir, part critique of a world that sees disabilities ahead of the individual, part self-portrait-in-progress of a young man who happens to have autism and wants to help us understand his world better"--

The mustangers / by Fenady, Andrew J.;
One of the last of the great American cowboys, Ben Smith is a three-time rodeo champion with one last chance to take a stand. Injured in a rodeo fall, he heads home at the age of forty to the Little Brawny Ranch, where he befriends the son of the Big Brawny's owner. Ben agrees to show little Jimmy the ropes: the rigors of ranching, the rewards of hard work, and the awe-inspiring beauty of the wild mustang herds running free. But when they learn the horses are being rounded up--for the slaughterhouse--the rawhide cowboy and skinny greenhorn strike back, each in his own way, to save the mustangs. But there is the inevitable, violent, historic showdown.
