Описание:
In Frontier Country, Patrick Spero addresses one of the most important and controversial subjects in American history: the frontier. Countering the modern conception of the American frontier as an area of expansion, Spero employs the eighteenth-century meaning of the term to show how colonists understood it as a vulnerable, militarized boundary. The Pennsylvania frontier, Spero argues, was constituted through conflicts not only between colonists and Native Americans but also among neighboring British colonies. These violent encounters created what Spero describes as a distinctive "frontier society" on the eve of the American Revolution that transformed the once-peaceful colony of Pennsylvania into a "frontier country."
Spero narrates Pennsylvania's story through a sequence of formative but until now largely overlooked confrontations: an eight-year-long border war between Maryland and Pennsylvania in the 1730s; the Seven Years' War and conflicts with Native Americans in the 1750s; a series of frontier rebellions in the 1760s that rocked the colony and its governing elite; and wars Pennsylvania fought with Virginia and Connecticut in the 1770s over its western and northern borders. Deploying innovative data-mining and GIS-mapping techniques to produce a series of customized maps, he illustrates the growth and shifting locations of frontiers over time. Synthesizing the tensions between high and low politics and between eastern and western regions in Pennsylvania before the Revolution, Spero recasts the importance of frontiers to the development of colonial America and the origins of American Independence.

Описание:
The American Revolution conjures a series of iconographic images in the contemporary American imagination. In these imagined scenes, defiant Patriots fight against British Redcoats for freedom and democracy, while a unified citizenry rallies behind them and the American cause. But the lived experience of the Revolution was a more complex matter, filled with uncertainty, fear, and discord. In The American Revolution Reborn, editors Patrick Spero and Michael Zuckerman compile essays from a new generation of multidisciplinary scholars that render the American Revolution as a time of intense ambiguity and frightening contingency. The American Revolution Reborn parts company with the Revolution of our popular imagination and diverges from the work done by historians of the era from the past half-century. In the first section, "Civil Wars," contributors rethink the heroic terms of Revolutionary-era allegiance and refute the idea of patriotic consensus. In the following section, "Wider Horizons," essayists destabilize the historiographical inevitability of America as a nation. The studies gathered in the third section, "New Directions," present new possibilities for scholarship on the American Revolution. And the last section, titled "Legacies," collects essays that deal with the long afterlife of the Revolution and its effects on immigration, geography, and international politics. With an introduction by Spero and a conclusion by Zuckerman, this volume heralds a substantial and revelatory rebirth in the study of the American Revolution.

Описание: Focusing on the New Worlds' oldest and most famed wine producing areas in California's greater Sonoma/Napa/North Bay region we will compile practices and examples of wine country's most exemplary sustainable operations. Being in a very well established and affluent part of the US, we feel that solutions forged here can help expand both the understanding of how best practices can be achieved, and the pitfalls to be avoided on the road to greater sustainability in many a wine region around the world. Example wineries and vineyards include Raymond Vineyards, Buena Vista, Carneros, Benziger, and Kendell Jackson and we will focus on different growing methods and standards such as the Demeter Wine Processing Standard, dry growing, organic, bio-dynamic, and innovative production and bottling methods that minimize waste by recycling as much as possible. We have been learning a lot in California about conserving water during a prolonged drought and made strides in water conservation in agriculture and viticulture. Sonoma County is committed to becoming the nation's first 100% sustainable wine region through a three-phased program to be completed by 2020. Wineries are becoming more integrated into the community as hosts of community events, dances, farmers markets, and agritourism partnerships with surrounding stakeholders to help travelers minimize their use of fossil fuels while here. Ways that the wine sector is intersecting with tourism to benefit the environment will be highlighted. This book is the second I have been involved with regarding sustainability in the wine industry, the first being a collaboration between myself, Professor Robert Girling, and Heather Gordy called The Good Company: Sustainability in Hospitality, Tourism, and Wine. I have also very recently, been working on a project with the UN World Tourism Organization's International Network of Sustainable Tourism Observatories to establish one here in Sonoma. It is with gratitude that I can say we have been approved and have begun development in earnest of the UNWTO Sonoma County Sustainable Tourism Observatory. Each of the 12 Wineries featured in the book will be a factual case study while also describing the soul and the breadth of the endeavor. With examples ranging from the tiny bodega to the industry leading mega wineries we aim to be as inclusive as possible. Not intended as a tome, but a readable journey including extensive resources to assist in further research, brief articles by leading authorities on implementation of new cutting edge methodologies, and tried and true methods making a comeback from the ancient world to the present.

Описание: When the USS Truxtun was shipwrecked off the coast of Newfoundland in 1942, Lanier Phillips, an African-American serviceman, was rescued by the people of the town of St. Lawrence. The kindness he received transformed his life and ignited a lasting passion for civil rights. Lanier went on to a distinguished career in the US Navy, and he later marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., worked with Jaques Cousteau, and retold his story of transformation with the hope of inspiring change. In Life Lines: The Lanier Phillips Story, award-winning author Christine Welldon weaves Lanier's story through shipwreck, rescue, and the American civil-rights movement to reveal a tale of dignity, determination, and the incredible power of kindness.

Описание:
Omega-3 Delivery Systems: Production, Physical Characterization and Oxidative Stability offers the most recent updates for developing, characterizing, and stabilizing both traditional and novel omega-3 delivery systems, including their final incorporation into food matrices and physicochemical changes during digestion. The book brings chapters on novel omega-3 delivery systems (e.g., high-fat emulsions, Pickering emulsions, electrosprayed capsules, and solid lipid nanoparticles), the application of advanced techniques to evaluate physical and oxidative stabilities (e.g., SAXS, SANS, ESR, and super-resolution fluorescence microscopy), and new developments of food enrichment and physicochemical changes during digestion. The book provides a unique multidisciplinary and multisectoral approach, i.e., featuring authors from industry and academy.
Long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) present numerous health benefits; however, the consumption of natural products rich in omega-3 PUFA (e.g., fish, krill, and algae) is not enough to reach the daily-recommended values. Therefore, the food industry is highly interested in producing omega-3 fortified foods.
