Synopsis The Long Season by : Michael Vance Gurley
In Roaring Twenties Chicago, eighteen-year-old farm boy and hockey hopeful Brett Bennet is drafted to the big leagues of the city’s first major team. His deepest secret catches fire when he meets the dashing but reclusive goalie, Jean-Paul Moreau. As they circle each other, finding out who they truly are, their lives are changed in ways neither can control. Brett will need the help of freewheeling flapper Margret to find a way to break through Jean-Paul’s ice, and to navigate the high-stakes world of professional sports from the opening game to the championship. Only together do they have a hope of facing the deadly threat of a man who can bring it all down with one word.

Synopsis A Long Season of Ashes by : Siddhartha Gigoo
In March 1990, sixteen-year-old Siddhartha Gigoo is forced to flee his home in Safa Kadal, Srinagar, Kashmir. The preceding days have been full of fear and horror for the Gigoos, who have seen friends and neighbours killed outside their homes. They could be next if they don’t leave. But they want to stay on, even when faced with a looming threat to their lives. Siddhartha thinks his leaving is temporary and that he will be back home soon. Little does he know that his fate is sealed. What follows is a long, dark time—a ‘camp’ existence and a struggle for survival. Thirty-four years on, Siddhartha chronicles the story of his flight from Kashmir and an entire youth spent in exile. A meditation on the nature of memory, A Long Season of Ashes is a book about a boy’s journey of self-discovery.

Synopsis The Long Growing Season by : Helen Mcgawley
Toward the close of World War I, Frederich Stroh leaves the Kaiser's army and returns home with a wife and baby. But because of her somewhat dubious past, he soon realizes that Edda will never be accepted by either his family or his hometown. He finally concludes that, like so many others before them and so many others after them, they must immigrate to America. They must begin a new life where no one knows their past. Board the ship with them now. Share their trials, tribulations, and triumphs as they struggle to make a new life in a new land. And if you think that you have read stories like this before, be assured that you have not.

Synopsis The Long Season by : Jim Brosnan
“Takes readers inside the clubhouse, the dugout, and the bullpen-not to mention the airplane, the train and the hotel room-in ways no sportswriter ever has.” — Washington Post “Rich and always interesting....This is the most authentic and convincing book about baseball I have ever read.” — Los Angeles Times “Funny, candid, and even more interesting because it doesn’t chronicle an exceptional season (something Brosnan reserved for his second book, Pennant Race, 1962), this book was a game changer.” — Booklist “One of the best baseball books ever written. It is probably one of the best American diaries as well.” — New York Times

Synopsis The Long Season of Rain by : Helen Kim
When the grey Korean Changma--the rainy season--arrives, eleven-year-old Junehee resigns herself to long months cooped up with her sisters, her mother, and her grandmother. But this year, the Changma brings more than water. Orphaned by a mudslide, a young boy comes to live in Junehee's house--and stirs up long-hidden secrets in her family. For as the rain drums out its story on the sloped roofs of the village, Junehee's own family story unfolds. And Junehee soon realizes that her mother's sadness is tied to a long-standing tradition that neglects women's dreams--a tradition that Junehee hopes to break free of. . . .

Synopsis Environmental and Climate Change in South and Southeast Asia by :
Based on pioneering research, this volume on South and Southeast Asia offers a cultural studies' perspective on the vast and largely uncharted domain of how local cultures are coping with climate changes and environmental crises.The primary focus is on three countries that have high emission rates: India, Indonesia, and Thailand. Whereas the dominant discourse on climate largely reflects the view of Western cultures, this volume adds indigenous views and practices that provide insight into Hindu, Buddhist and Islamic responses. Making use of textual materials, fieldwork, and analyses, it highlights the close links between climate solutions, forms of knowledge, and the various socio-cultural and political practices and agencies within societies. The volume demonstrates that climate is global and plural. Contributors are: Monika Arnez, Somnath Batabyal, Joachim Betz, Susan M. Darlington, Dennis Eucker, Rüdiger Haum, Albertina Nugteren, Marcus Nüsser & Ravi Baghel, Martin Seeger, and Janice Stargardt.
