"Wild horses thrived for thousands of generations in the mountains, forests, and deserts of the American West. Their family herds existed in environmental harmony until man chose to "manage" them. Since then, every day more of America's wild horses disappear. But courageous people are trying very hard to reverse this, most notably, young people who feel a kinship with these often misunderstood creatures."--Provided by publisher.

When readers see the names Mark Twain and Dan De Quille, fake news may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But these legendary journalists were some of the original, and most prolific, fake news writers in the early years of Nevada’s history. Frontier Fake News puts a spotlight on the hoaxes, feuds, pranks, outright lies, witty writing, and other literary devices utilized by a number of the Silver State’s frontier newsmen from the mid-nineteenth through the early twentieth centuries. Often known collectively as the Sagebrush School, these journalists were opinionated, talented, and individualistic. While Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), who got his start at Virginia City’s Territorial Enterprise, and Dan De Quille (William Wright), who some felt was a better writer than Twain, are the most well-known members of the Sagebrush School, author Richard Moreno includes others such as Fred Hart, who concocted a fake social club and reported on its gatherings for Austin’s Reese River Reveille, and William Forbes, who enjoyed sprinkling clever puns with political undertones in his newspaper articles. Moreno traces the beginnings of genuine fake news from founding father Benjamin Franklin’s “Supplement to the Boston Independent Chronicle, Number 705, March 1782,” a fake newspaper aimed at swaying British public opinion, to the fake news articles of New York and Baltimore papers in the early 1800s. But these examples are only a prelude to the amazing accounts of petrified men, freeze-inducing solar armor, magically magnetic rocks, blood-curdling massacres, and other nonsense stories that appeared in Nevada’s frontier newspapers and beyond.

Global Media Giants takes an in-depth look at how media corporate power works globally, regionally, and nationally, investigating the ways in which the largest and most powerful media corporations in the world wield power. Case studies examine not only some of the largest media corporations (News Corp., The Microsoft Corporation) in terms of revenues, but also media corporations that hold considerable power within national, regional, or geolinguistic contexts (Televisa, The Bertelsmann Group, Sony Corporation). Each chapter approaches a different corporation through the lens of economy, politics, and culture, giving students and scholars a thoughtful and data-driven guide with which to interrogate contemporary media industry power.

This is the debut collection that I've been waiting for since I first met the profoundly gifted Joanne Mallari. Holding Daughter Tongue in my hands brings me joy, and I imagine that readers who are just now discovering this honest and compassionate voice will agree-Mallari is on her way to becoming one of our most fully realized contemporary poets. Her work resonates personal, communal, and cultural histories in ways fresh and startling; in her hands, we see our worlds made flesh. We learn to love "the resonance of an empty bar, / how words search for an ear / to land on..." We learn how "each breath feels / like loud steps in an empty church..." We learn to ask questions: "What is love but a series / of deposits, pennies piling on top / of nickels on top of dimes until / we die or forget?" Indeed, what is love? Read this book. Find out. Gailmarie Pahmeier, Reno Poet Laureate, Emerita, Author of The Rural Lives of Nice Girls Here is a collection in which we are privileged to witness the careful unfolding of a self, as the speaker strives to understand cultural and family history, faith, identity and desire. This is a collection that "sings Tagalog, sings English," that sings "beneath rainbow flags / and church banners," a collection in which the speaker's "love of God bleeds into [her] love for another woman." Beautiful, deeply perceptive and original, filled with sparks of wit and lyrical clarity, these are poems of the moment that are also built to last. Steve Gehrke, Author of Michelangelo's Seizure "Under one language the other lies," writes Joanne Mallari in this exquisitely crafted volume. At once formally adventurous and tonally constrained, these poems explore "hybrid[s]" of identity, voice, and love through often ordinary acts, from crocheting to doing laundry to singing karaoke in two languages. These are poems to read slowly and then reread, marveling at how "the heart made room." Ann Keniston, Author of Somatic

“If Thoreau drank more whiskey and lived in the desert, he’d write like this.”—High Country News Welcome to the land of wildfire, hypothermia, desiccation, and rattlers. The stark and inhospitable high-elevation landscape of Nevada’s Great Basin Desert may not be an obvious (or easy) place to settle down, but for self-professed desert rat Michael Branch, it’s home. Of course, living in such an unforgiving landscape gives one many things to rant about. Fortunately for us, Branch—humorist, environmentalist, and author of Raising Wild—is a prodigious ranter. From bees hiving in the walls of his house to owls trying to eat his daughters’ cat—not to mention his eccentric neighbors—adventure, humor, and irreverence abound on Branch’s small slice of the world, which he lovingly calls Ranting Hill.
