Deep Down
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Harper, Karen, PUBLISHER: Mira Books, As a child, Jessie Lockwood spent many hours helping her mother, Mariah, count the endangered ginseng plants hidden in the local woods of Deep Down, Kentucky. There she learned to appreciate the tiny Appalachian town--and ginseng's healing powers. Now a PhD, she's made her home in Lexington, even though that meant leaving Deep Down and her beloved mother--and Sheriff Drew Webb, the man she secretly loved. When Jessie is notified that her mother never returned from her last walk in the woods, she comes home to Deep Down--and to Drew. As Jessie and Drew race to find her mother, several suspects emerge: an agent for those who market the herb for its life-giving properties; Mariah's disgruntled suitor; and an old Cherokee desperate to protect the sacred tribal herb. In the mist of legend and fear, only two things make sense to Jessie. At any cost, she is desperate to find her mother. And she can't help falling desperately in love with Drew all over again.

Storyville, USA
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Peterson, Dale, PUBLISHER: University of Georgia Press, What is a Storyville? Whether you're in Toast, North Carolina, Monkeys Eyebrow, Kentucky, or Winner, South Dakota, a Storyville is a real town you can find on a map, with a tale behind its quirky name. Covering miles of U.S. roads, Dale Peterson drove with his kids, Britt and Bayne, from Start, Louisiana, to Deadhorse, Alaska, in search of small-town America in the "garage sale of the open highway." Along the way they explored open spaces, wild places, and country back roads and met people who weren't afraid to talk to one another. Together, they discover the sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and zany stories behind nearly sixty small towns, guided by a AAA Road Atlas, expert local storytellers, and lots of curiosity. They dip into Caddo Lake and the everglades of Uncertain, Texas, go a little crazy in Loco, Oklahoma, and learn about bee colonies in Climax, New York. Conversations with townfolk range from the refrigerator at the center of Noodle, Texas, and the hazards of Accident, Maryland, to issues of civil rights, religion, and environmental preservation. Collected here are the landscapes, landmarks, faces, thoughts, and conversations of a sentimental, idiosyncratic, and often hilarious American odyssey. Storyville, USA is a long winding trip into the back roads of the country and a longer one into the hinterland of our own hearts.
Slow Food.La risurrezione della rosa. Agricoltura
La risurrezione della rosa. Agricoltura, luoghi, comunità autore Berry Wendell editore Slow Food (collana Terra Madre), pagine. "Mangiare è un atto agricolo" è l'aforisma forse più noto - anche perché molto citato da Slow Food - di Wendell Berry, teorico statunitense delle "virtù rurali", poeta, scrittore, saggista, docente di letteratura all'Università del Kentucky ma, soprattutto, coltivatore. Di questo intellettuale-contadino la casa editrice della chiocciolina pubblica ora, nella collana Terra Madre, una selezione di venti saggi mai tradotti in italiano, utili a divulgare presupposti, contenuti e obiettivi di quello che è stato definito il "bioregionalismo" americano: movimento che postula in ogni specifico territorio un "autogoverno della vita" basato su pratiche sostenibili, radicate nelle tradizioni e nella coscienza delle comunità locali. Terra, agricoltura, ambiente, consumi, vita collettiva sono oggetto delle riflessioni di Berry, incentrate su una critica non nostalgica, ma sorretta da un profondo afflato religioso, alle distorsioni del gigantismo industriale e della globalizzazione livellatrice. Tra più interessanti per le tematiche legate al grande progetto Slow Food di Terra Madre, gli interventi che esaltano la biodiversità, la produzione su piccola scala, la compatibilità ambientale dei comportamenti umani. Non mancano pagine in cui l'autore descrive i luoghi dov'è nato e cresciuto, e che tanta parte hanno avuto nell'elaborazione del suo pensiero. NUOVO, 11 euro.

The Citizen-Soldier: The Memoirs of a Civil War Volunteer
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Beatty, John / Woodworth, Steven E., PUBLISHER: Bison Books, When Southerners fired on Fort Sumter in April , John Beatty left his bank job in Ohio to answer President Lincoln's call for soldiers. Within a short while he was commanding the Third Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment, as green to combat as his men. The diary he kept from June to January shows how well they did their fearful job without losing their humanity. In October the Ohio regiment lost nearly forty percent of its five hundred men on the field at Perryville. After heavy fighting at Stone's River the following year, Beatty was promoted to brigadier general. In these pages the cost of union is carefully weighed by an intelligent and modest man who never glorifies war. Advancing through the South with the Army of the Cumberland, he lives to tell about the horrific battles at Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge. Whether describing large events in Kentucky, Tennessee, and elsewhere or the quiet times of camp life, Beatty never loses personal perspective Steven E. Woodworth, in his introduction, writes about the life of this extraordinary "ordinary man," whose diary, originally published in , "stands out as one of the dozen or so best memoirs of the Civil War for its clarity, honesty, humor, and plain good sense."
Deadly Lessons: Understanding Lethal School Violence
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Moore, Mark H. / Petrie, Carol V. / Braga, Anthony A., PUBLISHER: National Academy Press, How do we make sense of the tragedy of a school shooting or even draw objective conclusions from these incidents? Deadly Lessons is the outcome of the National Research Council's unique effort to glean lessons from six case studies of lethal student violence. These are powerful stories of parents and teachers and troubled youths, presenting the tragic complexity of the young shooter's social and personal circumstances in rich detail. The cases point to possible causes of violence and suggest where interventions may be most effective. Readers will come away with a better understanding of the potential threat, how violence might be prevented, and how healing might be promoted in affected communities. For each case study, Deadly Lessons relates events leading up to the violence, provides quotes from personal interviews about the incident, and explores the impact on the community. The case studies center on: -- Two separate incidents in East New York in which three students were killed and a teacher was seriously wounded. -- A shooting on the south side of Chicago in which one youth was killed and two were wounded. -- A shooting into a prayer group at a Kentucky high school in which three students were killed. -- The killing of 4 students and a teacher and the wounding of 10 others at an Arkansas middle school. -- The shooting of a popular science teacher by a teenager in Edinboro, Pennsylvania. -- A suspected copycat of Columbine in which six students were wounded in Georgia. For everyone who puzzles over these terrible incidents, Deadly Lessons offers a fresh perspective on the most fundamental of questions: Why?
Face to Face: My Quest to Perform the First Full Face
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Siemionow, Maria, PUBLISHER: Kaplan Publishing, In December , Maria Siemionow, M.D., made headlines by performing the world's first near-total face transplant. It was an extraordinary event in a thirty-year medical career marked by many astonishing milestones. Now she recalls her remarkable journey in "Face to Face," a unique memoir that traces the path from her childhood in Poland to her medical training there and in Finland. Her arrival in the United States in the s, as a fellow at the Christine Kleinert Institute for Hand and Microsurgery in Louisville, Kentucky, confirmed her future as an award-winning researcher and world-class surgeon, leading ultimately to the controversial facial transplant procedure that revolutionized the field. Weaving fascinating medical science with a captivating life story, "Face to Face" explores the emotional, cultural, and moral implications of the twenty-first-century advances that have helped Dr. Siemionow's work thrive. She also provides details of the perseverance that led her to become the first U.S. physician to receive Institutional Review Board approval for facial transplantation surgery, followed by the poignant selection process as she was bombarded with compelling requests from prospective patients, and ultimately the successful completion of an operation that captured the world's attention. Both a chronicle of a groundbreaking surgery and a deeply moving story of personal courage, "Face to Face" also shares Dr. Siemionow's inspiring philosophy about the identities, physiological traits, and biological needs that combine to create our individual faces. Celebrating this triumph of form and function, she transforms the way we feel when we look in the mirror--and the way we think about those who dedicate their lives to healing and hope.
Weeds
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kelley, Edith Summers / Bruccoli, Matthew J., PUBLISHER: Southern Illinois University Press, "Weeds "was published by Harcourt Brace in and also brought out in England by Jonathan Cape. Despite favorable re-views by well-regarded critics the book made no impact, and Edith Summers Kelley never published another novel. Its reprinting here in this innovative series which brought back Zelda Fitz-gerald's "Save Me the Waltz "is in the opin-ion of the publishers a literary event of great magnitude--perhaps equal to the rediscovery of Henry Roth's "Call It Sleep.""" "Weeds "portrays the monotonous, drudg-ing life of the small tenant farmer of the tobacco fields of Kentucky. The story centers around Judith Pippinger, who has spirit, beauty, and a restless seeking for a purpose in life, but who is brutalized by farm life. It is not a dramatic novel, as Matthew Bruccoli notes in his Introduction to this neglected masterpiece. But it is convinc-ing. The people live. On two counts this book is important. It is a perfectly controlled work of fiction, and therefore has the automatic worth that any superior piece of literature has. Also, it has his-torical value as a peak achievement in the revolt-from-the-farm school of naturalistic American fiction. Edith Summers Kelley was the last writer in the Hamlin Garland, E. W. Howe, Joseph Kirkland line of de-velopment. Aside from its probable worth as social history, "Weeds "is highly readable. Read-ers will find here plausible people in a beautifully-handled realistic setting. In-teresting to note, the novel's strongest supporter heretofore was Sinclair Lewis, who was engaged to the author. In the opinion of Professor Bruccoli, "Weeds "is as good as "Main Street".""

Essentials for Frontline Living
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bishop-Joe, Leslie, PUBLISHER: Xulon Press, God has a remnant in the earth in this last day who have been strategically placed to make a difference. They hear the clarion call of the Lord which leads them to assume their positions in order to give birth to the next era of the church age, which is destined to be filled with power and an anointing that exceeds anything we've ever known or experienced. Those chosen for the frontline have been spiritually equipped to penetrate the enemy's territory and to set the captives free. Frontline living is not a place or position but a way of life. It is a lifestyle of readiness; one which causes us to operate from an offensive rather than a defensive posture. By the leading of the Holy Spirit, those on the frontline discern and anticipate the enemy's next move. The Essentials for Frontline living are writings that are designed to encourage, uplift and to motivate the reader to step out of complacency and to move into action with purpose in order to advance the Kingdom of God in the earth. Leslie Bishop-Joe the youngest of three daughters born in Paris, Kentucky to her late parents, Charles and Mary Bishop is married to Clarence and they have four sons, Charles, Rashaan, Brian and Leon. While serving in the United States Air Force, she received her Bachelors and Masters Degrees from Park University in Missouri and the University of Oklahoma respectively. Using her teaching, preaching and singing gifts, she has served in various ministries within the United States and abroad. Leslie is frequently called upon as a keynote speaker for retreats and workshop facilitator for conferences. She hosts an annual "Women in Ministry Getaway" where women of various denominations come together with the solepurpose of seeking the face of God for ministry.
Grassroots Music in the Upper Cumberland
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Montell, William Lynwood, PUBLISHER: University of Tennessee Press, The bi-state Upper Cumberland region--as discussed in William Lynwood Montell's new book, Grassroots in the Upper Cumberland--includes eight counties in Tennessee (Clay, Cumberland, DeKalb, Fentress, Jackson, Macon, Overton, and Putnam) and eight counties in Kentucky (Adair, Clinton, Cumberland, Metcalfe, Monroe, Pulaski, Russell, and Wayne). It is an area uniquely rich in traditional music. The importance of family ties and a deeply ingrained sense of community led to the flourishing of a distinct musical legacy from the s up to the present day. In this pathbreaking study of a region's music, William Lynwood Montell brings together an enormous trove of information about the folk practices, the transmission of musical skill and style, and the influence of traditional music on popular music (and vice-versa). Written by experts on the individual counties, each chapter focuses on one county and contextualizes its music within the broader musical legacy of the region. The result is a comprehensive look at the full musical spectrum of this area that avoids the often scattershot approach of statewide studies of music. As the book moves from county to county, the reader encounters a rich, living tradition of music. While the region's music is distinctive, it is nothing if not diverse, and various authors cover a variety of musical styles: English ballads, gospel, bluegrass, modern country, and even rock 'n' roll all find their unique expression in the musical mosaic of the Upper Cumberland. Among the many notable musicians from the region who come under close scrutiny are Archie Lee, Richard "Blind Dick" Burnett, Finley "Red" Belcher, Blake Williams, Lester Flatt, Steve Wariner, MandyBarnett, Lola Jean Dillon, and John Anderson, to name just a few. A celebration of local musicians and their stories as well as a look at how a musical legacy is transmitted from one generation to the next, this book will be of interest to students of traditional music and to music fans alike.
Boswell: Citizen of the World, Man of Letters
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lustig, Irma S., PUBLISHER: University Press of Kentucky, " These eleven original essays by well-known eighteenth-century scholars, five of them editors of James Boswell's journal or letters, commemorate the bicentenary of Boswell's death on May . The volume illuminates both the life and the work of one of the most important literary figures of the age and contributes significantly to the scholarship on this rich period. In the introduction, Irma S. Lustig sets the tone for the volume. She reveals that the essays examining Boswell as "Citizen of the World" are deliberately paired with those that analyze his artistic skills, to emphasize that "Boswell's sophistication as a writer is inseparable from his cosmopolitanism." The essays in Part I focus on the relationship of the Enlightenment, at home and abroad, to Boswell's personal development. Marlies K. Danziger restores to significant life the continental philosophers and theologians Boswell consulted in his search for religious certainty. Peter Perreten examines Boswell's enraptured study of Italian antiquity and his responses to the European landscape. Richard B. Sher and Perreten document the personal and aesthetic influence of Henry Home, Lord Kames, Scottish jurist and leading Enlightenment figure, on Boswell. Michael Fry discusses Boswell's relationship with Henry Dundas, political manager for Scotland, and Thomas Crawford examines Boswell's long-standing interest in the volatile political issues of the period, including the French Revolution, through his correspondence with William Johnson Temple. In evaluation Boswell's performance as Laird of Auchinleck, John Strawhorn documents his efforts to improve the estate by use of new agricultural methods. The essays in Part II study aspects of Boswell's artistry in Life of Johnson, the magnum opus that set a standard for biography. Carey McIntosh examines Boswell's use of rhetoric, and William P. Yarrow offers a close scrutiny of metaphor. Isobel Grundy invokes Virginia Woolf in demonstrating Boswell's acceptance of uncertainty as a biographer. John B. Radner reveals Boswell's self-assertive strategies in his visit with Johnson at Ashbourne in September , and, finally, Lustig examines as a "subplot" of the biography Johnson's patient efforts to win the friendship of Margaret Montgomerie Boswell. An appendix by Hitoshi Suwabe serves scholars by providing the most exact account to date of Boswell's meetings with Johnson. Acquista Ora
When Philosophers Were Kings (Hardcover)
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Best, S. M. / Best, Steven M., PUBLISHER: Sunstone Press, As the Confederacy celebrates its victory over Fort Sumter, Socrates Best and his wife, Ellen, are living in Northeast Texas where Socrates has been teaching school for five years. Educated in the philosophy of Plato and the religion of Knox, Socrates hopes to ignore the war and continue developing ruler guardians who will help make Texas great. But two former students, Buck Malneck and Billy Morse, seize this chance to put their former teacher to the test. Join the conflict or hang--those are their demands. Meanwhile, a thousand miles to the north stands Socrates' cousin Swift. Raised with Plato's Republican philosophies, but steeped in the passionate abolitionism of the Northern Methodists, Swift leaves law school to be part of the Second Wisconsin Infantry Regiment. Portage City explodes with joy as they send Swift's company off to war, but all the well wishing in the world could never prepare Swift for what awaits him at Bull Run. Amidst the revelry, Socrates' youngest brother, Ed, watches with bated breath. This crowd will one day cheer him, he decides, and everyone will know that he is finally a man. Fighting with the Army of the Cumberland across the Southeast, he will learn there is a far greater challenge in life then being a man--staying alive. This novel is based on the true story of a Wisconsin family caught up in the American Civil War, but it is also the story of the multidimensional human soul--spiritual, philosophical, and physical--and how it is affected by war. It is the story of man's ability to love, endure, survive, and find a meaningful purpose for life in a world turned upside down with hate.STEVEN M. BEST is a former military intelligence analyst, and retiredchiropractor. After being given an extensive letter written by his great grandmother detailing the family's experiences during the war, Best spent seven and a half years researching and writing his family story. He has visited every village and battlefield presented in this novel from Big Spring and Portage, Wisconsin, in the North, to Dangerfield, Texas, in the South; and from Perryville, Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma) and Devil's Backbone in the West; to Perryville, Kentucky and Chickamauga at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, in the East.
A Football Band of Brothers: Forging the University of
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Porter, W. Thomas, PUBLISHER: Trafford Publishing, Almost fifty years ago, a group of student-athletes entered the University of Washington. As freshmen, they were not eligible to play varsity football so they began their collegiate football on a frosh team that went unbeaten against Northwest opponents. Most members of the team played both offense and defense. Some had to work part-time to finance their education. The single ones lived with other students in dormitories and fraternity houses. Some were married and had children. In , Washington had been rocked by a player revolt which led to the firing of the head football coach. Disgruntled, he exposed a slush fund used by zealous boosters to directly pay players more than the Pacific Coast Conference allowed. The Husky athletic program was put on probation for two years along with Cal, UCLA and USC. It was a difficult period for a once proud and successful program. Thirty-one year old George Briggs was hired as Athletic Director to clean up the mess and hire a new coach. Darrell Royal, a former All-America quarterback for the Oklahoma Sooners and the head coach at Mississippi State, accepted a four-year contract in and started the Husky football program on the road to recovery. Royal's tenure was brief. After the season ended, Royal resigned to take his dream job at the University of Texas where he had a very successful career which included three national championships. Briggs then hired 29-year old Jim Owens, a teammate of Royal and an All-America end. He had been a top assistant under Bear Bryant at Kentucky and Texas A&M. He was one of the architects of the "Junction Boys" ten days in hell that forged the Aggies' conference championship threeyears later. Owens and his staff brought a philosophy that included an emphasis on team unity, defense, tough physical and mental conditioning, the use of the helmet to tackle and block and punish opponents, and a willingness to pay the price for success. In , the Huskies were mostly a bunch of sophomores - supposedly the youngest college team in America - and went 3-7. Over the next two years, the Huskies forged the second best record of a collegiate football team in America - 20 wins and two losses. With 20 victories, one tie, and one loss, only Mississippi had a better resume. In , they won the conference title, the first for Washington since , and upset heavily favored Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl, 44-8. It was Washington's first Rose Bowl victory and brought respectability back to West Coast football. Shortly after that game, Bud Wilkinson, Jim Owens' former coach, called to congratulate his former pupil on the stunning victory. He said, "It would be hard to find a club anywhere, anytime, that played a 60-miniute period any better than that team that day." In the season, despite injuries to many key players including All-America quarterback and Hesiman hopeful, Bob Schloredt, the then senior-laden tea
