Tennessee Landscape with Blighted Pine

Poems

By: Jesse Graves

Tenth Anniversary Expanded Edition First released in 2011, Tennessee Landscape with Blighted Pine was the debut poetry collection from Tennessee poet Jesse Graves and was awarded the 2011 Weatherford Award in Poetry from Berea College, the Book of the Year in Poetry Award from the Appalachian Writers’ Association, and the Thomas and Lillie D. Chaffin Award for Appalachian Writing. The poems in Tennessee Landscape with Blighted Pine take part in many of the traditions of lyric poetry, including elegies for lost loved ones, odes to the beauty of family and the natural world, expressed through a range of poetic forms and techniques. The 10th Anniversary Expanded Edition includes twelve new poems and an introduction by Matthew Wimberley. from “Emissaries” Some mornings when I’m reading early, no light yet but the table lamp, my left hand will run through scales along the spine of the open book. My hands keep their own remembrance buried in fine grooves of flesh. The fingers turn over ignitions, faucets, always attuned to their proper force, knuckles never breaking things unless my brain overpowers them. They’ve discovered spectacular terrains, soft enclosures I can never enter again. I send them ahead as scouts for survey, emissaries that flip the lights in every dark hallway of the future.

Said-Songs

Essays on Poetry and Place

By: Jesse Graves

The essays collected in SAID-SONGS range from the personal to the scholarly and explore the hybrid territory in between, where a creative writer considers literary craft and how it influences the generative imagination. Jesse Graves examines the writings of the people and about the places that have most shaped his own poetry. In the essay, Lyric: A Personal History, readers encounter an emerging poet deeply immersed in the history of lyric and narrative poems and gain a view into how these literary traditions shape the writing and revising of his first poetry collection. Appalachia and its writers hold the central focus of this collection, but Graves cultivates a space in which poets with voices and styles as diverse as John Ashbery, Federico García Lorca, and Adam Zagajewski receive fresh critical attention. SAID-SONGS traces the evolution of a poet's sensibility from the early days of a rural eastern Tennessee childhood to the maturing voice of the writer.

By: Gregory S. Alexander,Jesse Dukeminier,James E. Krier,Lior Jacob Strahilevitz,Michael S. Schill

Jesse Dukeminier’s trademark wit, passion, and human interest perspective has made Property, now in its Tenth Edition, one of the best—and best loved—casebooks of all time. A unique blend of authority and good humor, you’ll find a moveable feast of visual interest, compelling cases, and timely coverage of contemporary issues. In the Tenth Edition, the authors have created a thoughtful and thorough revision, true to the spirit of the classic Property text. New to the Tenth Edition: Newly unearthed American case law on litigation over wild animals prior to Pierson v. Post (Chapter 1). The addition of primary cases the Supreme Court decided in 2020 concerning statutory annotations (Chapter 3). A new case added to the life estate section and a new recent case on defeasible fees (Chapter 4). A new primary case on whether landlords can be liable for tenant-on-tenant harassment under the Fair Housing Act, expanded coverage of anti-discrimination law, problems with eviction proceedings, COVID-19 eviction moratoria at the federal and state levels, rent control, and the section 8 program (Chapter 7). Completely rewritten Chapter 8 with new cases added on reverse redlining and purchase money mortgage. A new primary case on the effects of improper along with a new discussion of the comparative virtues of rectangular parcels versus irregular metes-and-bounds parcels (Chapter 9). New cases on easements by estoppel; termination of covenants; the Virginia Lee statue case; new material added in the notes to reflect recent developments (e.g., Uniform Easement Relocation Act, SCOTUS decision in Cow River Preservation) (Chapter 11). New notes on recent moves to end single family zoning; new important case on aesthetic zoning (Chapter 12). A re-organized Chapter 13 including a new extended introduction to the police power cases preceding Hadacheck and running through Cedar Point Nursery, a new primary case from 2021; Tahoe-Sierra replaces Murr v. Wisconsin as a primary case; new coverage of cases involving Hurricane-related floods that the government failed to prevent; revised discussion of ripeness doctrine to reflect Knick v. Township of Scott; expanded discussion of doctrine concerning government decisions to make personal property contraband; and takings litigation over state and federal bans on bump stocks. Professors and students will benefit from: Retains the late Jesse Dukeminier’s unique blend of wit, erudition, insight, and playfulness. A dynamic casebook, encompassing cases, text, questions, problems, visual illustrations, and examples. Modular organization makes the book highly adaptable to a range of syllabi. Inclusive coverage runs the full range of property topics, including in-depth treatments of estates and future interests, servitudes, and land-use controls. Authors employ an accessible “economic lens” as a tool for thinking critically about property law. Extensive research into the backstories of many primary cases, yielding insights that are useful for teaching and understanding the legal landmarks

The Samuel and Mary (Myers) Burris Family

Much more than a tale of who begat whom, this volume provideshelpful insight into the nature of the family.By their fellow men, the Burrises are usually highly regarded.They are considered reliable, trustworthy, and honest. They also are known fortheir fair play.

Viking Age Iceland

Viking Age Iceland

By: Jesse Byock

Medieval Iceland was unique amongst Western Europe, with no foreign policy, no defence forces, no king, no lords, no peasants and few battles. It should have been a utopia yet its literature is dominated by brutality and killing. The reasons for this, argues Jesse Byock, lie in the underlying structures and cultural codes of the islands' social order. 'Viking Age Iceland' is an engaging, multi-disciplinary work bringing together findings in anthropology and ethnography interwoven with historical fact and masterful insights into the popular Icelandic sagas, this is a brilliant reconstruction of the inner workings of a unique and intriguing society.

The Tactics of Toleration

A Refugee Community in the Age of Religious Wars

By: Jesse Spohnholz

The Tactics of Toleration examines the preconditions and limits of toleration during an age in which Europe was sharply divided along religious lines. During the Age of Religious Wars, refugee communities in borderland towns like the Rhineland city of Wesel were remarkably religiously diverse and culturally heterogeneous places. Examining religious life from the perspective of Calvinists, Lutherans, Mennonites, and Catholics, this book examines how residents dealt with pluralism during an age of deep religious conflict and intolerance. Based on sources that range from theological treatises to financial records and from marriage registries to testimonies before secular and ecclesiastical courts, this project offers new insights into the strategies that ordinary people developed for managing religious pluralism during the Age of Religious Wars. Historians have tended to emphasize the ways in which people of different faiths created and reinforced religious differences in the generations after the Reformation’s break-up of Christianity, usually in terms of long-term historical narratives associated with modernization, including state building, confessionalization, and the subsequent rise of religious toleration after a century of religious wars. In contrast, Jesse Spohnholz demonstrates that although this was a time when Christians were engaged in a series of brutal religious wars against one another, many were also learning more immediate and short-term strategies to live alongside one another. This book considers these “tactics for toleration” from the vantage point of religious immigrants and their hosts, who learned to coexist despite differences in language, culture, and religion. It demands that scholars reconsider toleration, not only as an intellectual construct that emerged out of the Enlightenment, but also as a dynamic set of short-term and often informal negotiations between ordinary people, regulating the limits of acceptable and unacceptable behavior.

Abraham Lincoln, Statesman Historian

By: Jesse Derber

Abraham Lincoln drew upon history in his political career and particularly when crafting the rhetorical masterpieces that still resonate in the present day. Jesse Derber explores how Lincoln’s views of the limits of human understanding drove a belief in--and untiring pursuit of--historical truth. Lincoln embraced the traditional ideas that good history made good statesmanship and that an understanding of the past informed decision-making in the present. Seeing history as a source of wisdom, Lincoln strove for accuracy through a combination of research, reasoning ability, emotional maturity, and a willingness to admit his mistakes and challenge his biases. His philosophy flowed from an idea that authentic history could enlighten people about human nature. Though he revered precedents, Lincoln understood the past could be imperfect, and that progress through change was an ineffable part of building a better nation. Perceptive and revealing, Abraham Lincoln, Statesman Historian looks at how the Lincoln practiced history and applied its lessons to politics and leadership.
