Описание: Oceania, or the South Pacific, loomed large in the Victorian popular imagination. It was a world that interested the Victorians for many reasons, all of which suggested to them that everything was possible there. This collection of essays focuses on Oceania’s impact on Victorian culture, most notably travel writing, photography, international exhibitions, literature, and the world of children. Each of these had significant impact. The literature discussed affected mainly the middle and upper classes, while exhibitions and photography reached down into the working classes, as did missionary presentations. The experience of children was central to the Pacific’s effects, as youthful encounters at exhibitions, chapel, home, or school formed lifelong impressions and experience. It would be difficult to fully understand the Victorians as they understood themselves without considering their engagement with Oceania. While the contributions of India and Africa to the nineteenth-century imagination have been well-documented, examinations of the contributions of Oceania have remained on the periphery of Victorian studies. Oceania and the Victorian Imagination contributes significantly to our discussion of the non-peripheral place of Oceania in Victorian culture.
This book contains a narrative history of the town of Abbeville, South Carolina, from its beginnings until the early twentieth century. "Three disastrous fires in the 1870s destroyed many of the public records of this area," requiring the author to gather information from alternate sources, including articles from numerous authors. "The variety of authors enables the reader to see Abbeville life from different perspectives." In his search, he "was frequently impressed by accounts of life in the town of Abbeville. They included contemporary records, but were primarily reminiscent accounts of persons and events in its history, and they reflected the atmosphere of the town." Two themes run through Abbeville's history: a strong sense of pride and honor; and, recurring incidents of violence. These themes are emphasized by accounts which the author "found interesting as well as important." The author has included materials which will be of particular interest to genealogists and other students of family history: names of residences from the census, church records, and other sources as well as businesses and institutions. The author "made a special effort to include some account of the life of the blacks in Abbeville's history and to integrate them in the story. During most of its past, they were a majority in the population of the town."
From the beginning of mankind, health and health issues have played a major role in life, but the issues and care have evolved enormously from the time when the first settlers set foot in America to the present. In The History and Evolution of Healthcare in America, author Thomas W. Loker provides a historical perspective on the state of healthcare and offers fresh views on changes to Obamacare.
Insightful and thorough, The History and Evolution of Healthcare in America offers a look at
- what healthcare was like at the birth of the nation;
- how the practice of providing healthcare has changed for both caregivers and receivers;
- why the process has become so corrupt and expensive;
- what needs to happen to provide both choice and effective and efficient care for all;
- where we need to most focus efforts to get the biggest change;
- what is needed to get control over this out-of-control situation.
Loker narrates a journey through the history of American healthcare-where we've been, how we arrived where we are today, and determine where we might need to go tomorrow. The history illustrates how parts of the problem have been solved in the past and helps us understand what might be necessary to solve our remaining problems in the future.

Описание: "Start Where You Are", was written with the intent to help people realize their starting point when it comes to their success. Most people fail because they started in the wrong place, which could be with the wrong mindset, in the wrong environment and with the wrong people. No one starts their success journey in the same place. We are only created equal because we all got here the same way. Life gives everyone of us different starting points. Some have more talent and others have better teachers. If we learn to start where we are, we will have a better understanding of the steps we need to take based on our own attributes and not the attributes of others, especially those we see on TV or social media. Your success journey needs to have a more realistic approach. No matter the path, the road to success will share some similarities along the way because there are laws that cant be changed.

Описание: The labor movement in the United States is a bulwark of democracy and a driving force for social and economic equality. Yet its stories remain largely unknown to Americans. Robert Forrant and Mary Anne Trasciatti edit a collection of essays focused on nationwide efforts to propel the history of labor and working people into mainstream narratives of US history. In Part One, the contributors concentrate on ways to collect and interpret worker-oriented history for public consumption. Part Two moves from National Park sites to murals to examine the writing and visual representation of labor history. Together, the essayists explore how place-based labor history initiatives promote understanding of past struggles, create awareness of present challenges, and support efforts to build power, expand democracy, and achieve justice for working people.
A wide-ranging blueprint for change, Where Are the Workers? shows how working-class perspectives can expand our historical memory and inform and inspire contemporary activism.

Описание: Oil and gas companies now recognize that industrial projects in the Canadian North can only succeed if Aboriginal communities are involved in decision-making processes. Where the Rivers Meet is an ethnographic account of Sahtu Dene involvement in the environmental assessment of the Mackenzie Gas Project, a massive pipeline that, if completed, would have unprecedented effects on Aboriginal communities in the North. The book reveals that while there has been some progress in establishing avenues for Dene participation in decision making, the ultimate assessment of such projects remains rooted in non-local beliefs about the nature of the environment, the commodification of land, and the inevitability of a hydrocarbon-based economy.

Описание: Where the New World Is assesses how fiction published since 1980 has resituated the U.S. South globally and how earlier twentieth-century writing already had done so in ways traditional southern literary studies tended to ignore. Martyn Bone argues that this body of fiction has, over the course of some eighty years, challenged received readings and understandings of the U.S. South as a fixed place largely untouched by immigration (or even internal migration) and economic globalization.The writers discussed by Bone emphasize how migration and labor have reconfigured the region’s relation to the nation and a range of transnational scales: hemispheric (Jamaica, the Bahamas, Haiti), transatlantic/Black Atlantic (Denmark, England, Mauritania), and transpacific/global southern (Australia, China, Vietnam). Writers under consideration include Zora Neale Hurston, Nella Larsen, John Oliver Killens, Russell Banks, Erna Brodber, Cynthia Shearer, Ha Jin, Monique Truong, Lan Cao, Toni Morrison, Peter Matthiessen, Dave Eggers, and Laila Lalami.The book also seeks to resituate southern studies by drawing on theories of “scale” that originated in human geography. In this way, Bone also offers a new paradigm in which the U.S. South is thoroughly engaged with a range of other scales from the local to the global, making both literature about the region and southern studies itself truly transnational in scope.
