The Rural Midwest Since World War II

The Rural Midwest Since World War II

By: J. L. Anderson

J.L. Anderson seeks to change the belief that the Midwest lacks the kind of geographic coherence, historical issues, and cultural touchstones that have informed regional identity in the American South, West, and Northeast. The goal of this illuminating volume is to demonstrate uniqueness in a region that has always been amorphous and is increasingly so. Midwesterners are a dynamic people who shaped the physical and social landscapes of the great midsection of the nation, and they are presented as such in this volume that offers a general yet informed overview of the region after World War II. The contributors—most of whom are Midwesterners by birth or residence—seek to better understand a particular piece of rural America, a place too often caricatured, misunderstood, and ignored. However, the rural landscape has experienced agricultural diversity and major shifts in land use. Farmers in the region have successfully raised new commodities from dairy and cherries to mint and sugar beets. The region has also been a place where community leaders fought to improve their economic and social well-being, women redefined their roles on the farm, and minorities asserted their own version of the American Dream. The rural Midwest is a regional melting pot, and contributors to this volume do not set out to sing its praises or, by contrast, assume the position of Midwestern modesty and self-deprecation. The essays herein rewrite the narrative of rural decline and crisis, and show through solid research and impeccable scholarship that rural Midwesterners have confronted and created challenges uniquely their own.

Jamestown

By: Rodney B. Taylor,Will Molineux

Celebrated as America's birthplace, Jamestown, Virginia, has a rich history, beginning in 1607 when the first permanent English settlement in the New World was established. This island in the James River, now referred to as Historic Jamestowne, has witnessed many a change in the past 400 years. Though it was, for almost a century, the capital of Virginia, it was later all but abandoned and used as farmland. During the Civil War, Jamestown served as an outpost for both Confederate and Union troops. As the result of efforts on the part of the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA) and the National Park Service, Jamestown is today a well-preserved historical site and welcomes nearly half a million visitors annually. Such famous individuals as President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Queen Mother, and Queen Elizabeth II have traveled to mark Jamestown's heritage. Visitors to nearby Jamestown Settlement, a state park, enjoy replicas of the original fort and the three ships that carried the first settlers.

Eunice

By: Alma Brunson Reed,Van Rodney Reed

Beginning as a real estate venture on the isolated prairie of southwestern Louisiana in 1894, Eunice is now a progressive small city due to its traditions of volunteerism, community spirit, and resourcefulness. In the late 1980s, the city enjoyed a renaissance when a far-sighted mayor capitalized on the dominant Cajun culture to pull Eunice out of the economic crevasse of the decade's "oil bust." It emerged as a picturesque community with an emphasis on its rich history and its newly recognized heritage tourism. The city's unique Frenchness lures tourists and locals to the live Cajun music shows at the Liberty Center and to experience the joie de vivre at a rural Mardi Gras. The historic images found in Images of America: Eunice feature the day-to-day activities of Eunice's people through good times and lean days from 1894 to the late 1980s.

Family Medicine

Obstetrical Ultrasound

By: John R. MacMillan Rodney

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Family Medicine

Obstetrical Ultrasound

By: John R. MacMillan Rodney

Specialization has driven medical practice over the last century. Expanding knowledge has increased the physician workforce but has decreased the proportion of general family doctors, leaving rural areas with critical physician shortages. In 1978 almost half of family physicians delivered babies. By 2005 this number decreased to 23 percent. Although many recognize the broad medical and surgical skills required in remote Africa, few recognize the need for similar skills among doctors in rural America. These physicians blend family and emergency medicine with specific skills from obstetrics, gynecology, and general surgery. Many family doctors provide extensive women’s health services, including cancer screening, prenatal care, and cesarean delivery. This work is written for these physicians. In rural areas, most women cannot leave their communities to have children. Extensive travel for prenatal care and delivery has detrimental economic and social consequences. Although rural counties provide quality care, they cannot afford an array of technicians, nurses, and physicians trained in obstetrics, gynecology, surgery, neonatology, and critical care. Drawing from my mentors’ and family’s experiences in Texas and Tennessee, I realized that there was no formal ultrasound curriculum for family doctors providing rural obstetrical care. The majority of texts have been written for ultrasound technicians performing examinations and subspecialists interpreting the acquired images. Historically, family physicians have played a prominent role in obstetrical patient safety and care, as seen through the continued success of the Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO) curriculum. Although the ALSO course provides valuable training, I argue that a formal program for physician performed obstetrical ultrasound is equally, if not more, important. Ultrasound is the basis for obstetrical risk stratification. Without basic skills, physicians may inadvertently put mothers and children at risk. For example, a physician in west Texas should not trend beta hCG levels over two days when evaluating a suspected ectopic pregnancy. Any suspected threat to pregnancy should be investigated immediately at the point of care to avoid unnecessary delays that may lead to maternal or fetal death. This text serves as a rational but not exhaustive introduction to obstetrical ultrasound for the physician providing women’s health services in remote or resource-poor settings. This text distills volumes of information found in advanced obstetrical textbooks as well as recent American and European literature. The referenced articles come from a variety of journals and represent many specialties. Ultimately, we desire to promote patient safety and improve care and welcome any suggestions or ideas that help achieve this goal. Thank you for selecting this text; we hope it serves you and your patients well.

Petrogenesis of Metamorphic Rocks

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Petrogenesis of Metamorphic Rocks

By: Kurt Bucher,Rodney Grapes

Petrogenesis of Metamorphic Rocks presents a large number of diagrams showing the stability relations among minerals and groups of minerals found in metamorphic rocks. The diagrams help to determine the pressure and temperature conditions under which a given set of metamorphic rocks may have formed. Other parameters that control metamorphic mineral assemblages are also discussed and pitfalls resulting from simplifications and generalizations are highlighted. The book discusses the most common metamorphic rock types, their nomenclature, structure and graphical representation of their mineral assemblages. Part I defines basic principles of metamorphism, introduces metamorphic processes, geologic thermometry and barometry and defines metamorphic grade. Part II presents in a systematic way mineralogical changes and assemblages found in the most common types of metamorphic rocks. The computation of diagrams is based on recent advances in quantitative petrology and geochemistry. An extensive bibliography, including the key contributions and classic papers in the field, make it an invaluable source book for graduate students and professional geologists.

The Librettist of Venice

The Remarkable Life of Lorenzo Da Ponte--Mozart's Poet, Casanova's Friend, and Italian Opera's Impre

By: Rodney Bolt

In 1805, Lorenzo Da Ponte was the proprietor of a small grocery store in New York. But since his birth into an Italian Jewish family in 1749, he had already been a priest, a poet, the lover of many women, a scandalous Enlightenment thinker banned from teaching in Venice, the librettist for three of Mozart's most sublime operas, a collaborator with Salieri, a friend of Casanova, and a favorite of Emperor Joseph II. He would go on to establish New York City's first opera house and be the first professor of Italian at Columbia University. An inspired innovator but a hopeless businessman, who loved with wholehearted loyalty and recklessness, Da Ponte was one of the early immigrants to live out the American dream. In Rodney Bolt's rollicking and extensively researched biography, Da Ponte's picaresque life takes readers from Old World courts and the back streets of Venice, Vienna, and London to the New World promise of New York City. Two hundred and fifty years after Mozart's birth, the life and legacy of his librettist Da Ponte are as astonishing as ever.

Lockerbie

The Story and the Lessons

By: Rodney Wallis

The explosion of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in December 1988, should never have happened. Wallis, who has extensive, direct, personal knowledge of aviation security matters gained from his position at the crossroads of security information and the industry's endeavors to combat aviation terrorism, had warned the industry one year before the bombing that the interline element of baggage represented the prime opportunity for terrorist activity and had urged the adoption of passenger and baggage matching, a system that he had helped to develop. Mandated by the FAA for use at high risk airports, it was the feature missing from Pan Am's activity at Frankfort, an omission so cruelly exploited by the bombers. Wallis argues that the priority given by governments to technological solutions to the continuing terrorist threat puts the flying public at unnecessary risk every day. This volume brings together all of the facts surrounding the sabotage of Flight 103, including the investigation and the civil litigation in which so much of the story unfolded for the first time. It uncovers the fundamental weaknesses in Pan Am's communication and management policies. Wallis supports the policy that politics are politics and explores the possibility that U.S. and U.K. policy towards a neutral trial for the two Libyans indicted for the bombing, which may have been affected by the wider scenario of Middle East politics rather than simple justice for the victims of Lockerbie. Although the tragedy has led to improvements in defense technology for use against acts of aviation sabotage, these methods have yet to be applied universally.
