Land Fever

Dispossession and the Frontier Myth

By: James M. Marshall

James Marshall's illuminating study of dispossession on the frontier begins with the autobiography of a pioneer who met repeated failure. Writing in his old age, Omar Morse (1824-1901) looked back on the successive loss of three homesteads in mid-nineteenth century Wisconsin and Minnesota. The frontier as Morse encountered it was a place of runaway land speculation, of high railroad freight rates, of mortgage foreclosures, and of political and economic chaos. Stoic and resilient in adversity, Morse nevertheless expressed the anger of those for whom the Jeffersonian ideal of an independent yeomanry proved to be a cruel illusion. Marshall moves from Morse's narrative to the historical record of the thousands of similarly dispossessed pioneers and to the legacy of their failure. Politically, their anger was expressed in a grassroots movement that led to formation of the Populist party in the 1880s and 1890s. Culturally, dispossession became a theme in their literature, exemplified in Mark Twain's and Charles Dudley Warner's The Gilded Age and in novels by such Realists as Edward Eggleston, Joseph Kirkland, and Hamlin Garland. Land Fever thus presents the underside of disappointment that has long been the great ignored reality of the splendid success myth of the American frontier.

William Wallace

Brave Heart

By: James Mackay

Sir William Wallace of Ellerslie is one of history's greatest heroes, but also one of its greatest enigmas - a shadowy figure whose edges have been blurred by myth and legend. Even the date and place of his birth have been mis-stated - until now. James Mackay uses all his skills as a historical detective to produce this definitive biography, telling the incredible story of a man who, without wealth or noble birth, rose to become Guardian of Scotland. William Wallace, with superb generalship and tactical genius, led a country with no previous warlike tradition to triumph gloriously over the much larger, better-armed and better-trained English forces. Seven hundred years later, the heroism and betrayal, the valiant deeds and the dark atrocities, and the struggle of a small nation against a brutal and powerful empire, still create a compelling tale.

Introduction to Åland Islands

Introduction to Åland Islands

By: Gilad James, PhD

The Åland Islands is a territory of Finland located in the Baltic Sea, between the mainland of Sweden and Finland. The archipelago consists of around 6,500 islands, but only around 60 are inhabited. The population of Åland is 30,000, with the majority of the inhabitants speaking Swedish rather than Finnish. Åland has a special autonomous status within Finland, as it was demilitarized in 1856 and became a neutral zone in the aftermath of the Crimean War. The Åland Convention of 1921 granted the islands self-governance and recognition of their Swedish language and culture. Today, the economy of Åland is mainly based on shipping, tourism, and agriculture. The islands are known for their scenic beauty, charming towns, and outdoor recreational activities.

Storks, Ibises and Spoonbills of the World

By: James Hancock,James A. Kushlan,M. Philip Kahl

Everything you ever wanted to know about storks, ibises and spoonbills. Some of the world's largest and most spectacular birds are to be found among this group of wading birds. Tragically, they also include many of the world's most endangered species, as changes in land use erode their wetland habitats. Some like the White Stork have lived alongside humans for hundreds of years and are well known from numerous studies. Others, like the Storm's stork and ibises of West Africa, South-East Asia and South America live so secluded a life in the remote corners of the globe that they will probably be extinct before even the most basic details of their biology are known. In this monograph, three authors and two artists have combined their skills to capture what is known of this group of wading birds. The text opens with general chapters on taxonomy and feeding, breeding and behaviour, followed by detailed coverage of each species.

Introduction to Libya

By: Gilad James, PhD

Libya is a country located in North Africa, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Egypt to the east, Sudan to the southeast, Chad and Niger to the south, and Tunisia and Algeria to the west. Libya is the fourth largest country in Africa in terms of land area, with the majority of its desert terrain unsuitable for agriculture. The population of Libya is estimated to be around 6.8 million people, with the majority living in urban areas along the Mediterranean coast. Libya has a rich history and a cultural heritage that dates back to ancient times. The country was under the rule of various empires and kingdoms, including the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, and Arabs. During the 20th century, Libya went through a period of colonization by Italy and was then ruled for over 40 years by Muammar Gaddafi until his downfall in 2011 during the Arab Spring. Since then, the country has been plagued by political instability and violence, with various factions vying for control. Libya is also a major oil-producing country, but its oil industry has been impacted by the ongoing conflict.

The Study of European Ethnology in Austria

By: James R. Dow,Olaf Bockhorn

The study of ethnology or ’Volkskunde’ in Austria has had a troubled past. Through most of the 20th century it was under the influence of the so-called Viennese ’Mythological School’ and the controversy between the two opposing branches, the ’Ritualist’ and the ’Mythologists', set much of the agenda from the 1920s until long after the World War ended in 1945. The volume examines two Austrian characters, Richard Wolfram and Karl Haiding, and the impact of their research and sets them in the context of Austrian ethnology before, during and after the war years. The book concludes by examining the present day ethnological outlook in the country.
