Book Description
At the request of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Memphis District, Panamerican consultants, Inc. of Memphis, Tennessee, performed a cultural resources survey near Island no. 8 of approximately 133 acres of proposed relief wells and collector ditches in Fulton County, Kentucky. the project area consisted of two different widths: 100 feet (30 m.) landward from the levee toe for the relief wells, and 50 feet (115 m) on either side of the collector ditches. Six previously recorded sites (15FU34, 15FU35, 15FU55, 15FU64, 15FU137, and 15FU138) are mapped within the study area and their locations were revisited. Eleven previously unrecorded sites were identified, all of which are mid-twentieth-century historic scatters. Six previously recorded structures were mapped within the study area: five of them have been razed or otherwise destroyed, the sixth is a floodgate structure currently being utilized. Two of the identified sites, 15FU55 and 15FU64 were recommended for further work when they were initially recorded due to the possibility of buried features. They are outside the current project area and will not be affected. However, they are close to the Right Of Way and caution must be exercised to avoid these two sites. If this is not possible, then further work is required to determine their National Register of Historic Places eligibility status will be necessary. The remaining sites and structures all date from the early to middle part of the twentieth century and are recommended as not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. No further archaeological work is recommended for those locations.

Factories in the Field
Author: Carey McWilliams
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520925181
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
This book was the first broad exposé of the social and environmental damage inflicted by the growth of corporate agriculture in California. Factories in the Field—together with the work of Dorothea Lange, Paul Taylor, and John Steinbeck—dramatizes the misery of the dust bowl migrants hoping to find work in California agriculture. McWilliams starts with the scandals of the Spanish land grant purchases, and continues on to examine the experience of the various ethnic groups that have provided labor for California's agricultural industry—Chinese, Japanese, Mexicans, Filipinos, Armenians—the strikes, and the efforts to organize labor unions

Care in the Past
Author: Lindsay Powell
Publisher: Oxbow Books
ISBN: 1785703366
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Care-giving is an activity that has been practiced by all human societies. From the earliest societies through to the present, all humans have faced choices regarding how people in positions of dependency are to be treated. As such, care-giving, and the form it takes, is a central experience of being a human and one that is culturally mediated. Archaeology has tended to marginalise the study of care, and debates surrounding our ability to recognise it within the archaeological record have often remained implicit rather than a focus of discussion. These 12 papers examine the topic of care in past societies and specifically how we might recognise the provision of care in archaeological contexts and to open up an inter-disciplinary conversation, including historical, bioarchaeological, faunal and philosophical perspectives. The topic of ‘care’ is examined through three different strands: the provision of care throughout the life course, namely that provided to the youngest and oldest members of a society; care-giving and attitudes towards impairment and disability in prehistoric and historic contexts, and the role of animals as both recipients of care and as tools for its provision.

The Birds of Kentucky
Author: Burt L. Monroe Jr.
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 081315166X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
The first book of its kind to be published for the Bluegrass State, The Birds of Kentucky is designed to provide an accurate and scientifically rigorous description of all the species of birds found in Kentucky. This comprehensive guide features a wealth of information, including abundance records, migration dates, and additional reference material, and indicates whether a bird is a permanent resident, winter resident, summer resident, visitant, or transient. Additionally, author Burt L. Monroe reviews the history of ornithologists who have worked in Kentucky and outlines the physiography of the state as it relates to birding. More than just a verbal portrait of Kentucky avifauna, The Birds of Kentucky includes fifty-one color paintings by the renowned wildlife artist William Zimmerman, whose work has been favorably compared to that of John James Audubon. In contrast to Audubon's romanticism and often tortuous style, however, Zimmerman offers us "comfortable" birds that look as if they are about to take wing and leave the page. Beautifully illustrated and based on a lifetime of field observation and research, this book provides an excellent guide to the natural history of the birds of the Bluegrass.

Missouri Landscapes

Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
"In this magnificent book, Oliver Schuchard provides more than sixty-five exquisite black-and-white photographs spanning his thirty-eight years of photography. In addition, he explains the aesthetic rationale and techniques he used in order to produce these photographs, emphasizing the profound differences between, yet necessary interdependence of, craft and content. Although Schuchard believes that craft is important, he maintains that the idea behind the photograph and the emotional content of the image are equally vital and are, in fact, functions of one another. The author also shares components of his life experience that he believes helped shape his development as an artist and a teacher. He chose the splendid photographs included in this book from among nearly 5,000 negatives that had been exposed all over the world, from Missouri to Maine, California, Alaska, Colorado, France, Newfoundland, and Hawaii, among many other locations. Approximately 250 negatives survived the initial review, and each of those was printed before a final decision was made on which photographs were to be featured in the book. The final choices are representative of Schuchard's work and serve to substantiate his belief that craft, concept, and self must be fully understood and carefully melded for a good photograph to occur. This amazing work by award-winning photographer Oliver Schuchard will be treasured by professional and amateur photographers alike, as well as by anyone who simply enjoys superb photography."--Publishers website.
