Textile League Baseball

South Carolina's Mill Teams, 1880-1955

By: Thomas K. Perry

After the Civil War, the Yankee textile industry began a steady transfer south, bringing with it the tradition of a mill village, usually owned by the mill's owner, where the workers and their families lived. The new game of baseball quickly became a foundation of mill village life. A rich tradition of textile league baseball in South Carolina is here reconstructed from newspaper accounts and interviews with former players and fans. Players such as "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and Champ Osteen made their marks as "lintheads" in these semipro leagues. The fierce rivalries between competing mills and the impact of the teams on mill life are recounted. Appendices list club records and rosters for many of the teams from 1880 through 1955.

The Face of Decline

The Pennsylvania Anthracite Region in the Twentieth Century

By: Thomas L. Dublin,Walter Licht

The anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania once prospered. Today, very little mining or industry remains, although residents have made valiant efforts to restore the fabric of their communities. In The Face of Decline, the noted historians Thomas Dublin and Walter Licht offer a sweeping history of this area over the course of the twentieth century. Combining business, labor, social, political, and environmental history, Dublin and Licht delve into coal communities to explore grassroots ethnic life and labor activism, economic revitalization, and the varied impact of economic decline across generations of mining families. The Face of Decline also features the responses to economic crisis of organized capital and labor, local business elites, redevelopment agencies, and state and federal governments. Dublin and Licht draw on a remarkable range of sources: oral histories and survey questionnaires; documentary photographs; the records of coal companies, local governments, and industrial development corporations; federal censuses; and community newspapers. The authors examine the impact of enduring economic decline across a wide region but focus especially on a small group of mining communities in the region's Panther Valley, from Jim Thorpe through Lansford to Tamaqua. The authors also place the anthracite region within a broader conceptual framework, comparing anthracite's decline to parallel developments in European coal basins and Appalachia and to deindustrialization in the United States more generally.

Subnormal Operators and Representations of Algebras of Bounded Analytic Functions and Other Uniform Algebras

By: Thomas L. Miller,Robert F. Olin,James E. Thomson

The present memoir lies between operator theory and function theory of one complex variable. Motivated by refinements of the analytic functional calculus of a subnormal operator, the authors are rapidly directed towards difficult problems of hard analysis. Quite specifically, the basic objects to be investigated in this paper are the unital (continuous) algebra homomorphisms [lowercase Greek]Pi : [italic]H[exponent infinity symbol]([italic]G) [rightwards arrow] [italic]L([italic]H), with the additional property that [lowercase Greek]Pi([italic]z) is a subnormal operator.

Film Adaptations of Plays on Video

By: Thomas L. Erskine,James M. Welsh

Many of our favorite films began as plays—some as well known as Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and some not so well known as You've Got Mail's origin, a 1937 play Parfumerie by Miklos Laszlo. Video Versions identifies nearly 300 films and their theatrical origins, providing readers with an overview of the films and highlighting similarities and differences to the source plays. Perfect for teachers, students, and anyone interested in theater and film, it is the most complete resource available for video versions of plays. Each entry provides: the original play's title, author, and year of publication; the name of the film, year of production, director and adapter; the main cast and the characters they play; running time and rating if available. Following a plot summary, a critical analysis provides the similarities and differences of the play and film, including character and plot changes, setting, missing or added scenes, special film techniques, and behind-the-scenes information such as who turned down or lost particular parts when the play was adapted to film. A short list of sources for further reading follows each entry. Information about contacting distributors—for obtaining the films—is included in the introduction and an extensive index completes the volume.

On Call in Hell

A Doctor's Iraq War Story

By: Cdr. Richard Jadick,Thomas Hayden

At age thirty-eight, Navy Dr. Richard Jadick was too old to be called up to the front lines-but not too old to volunteer. This is the inspiring story of one man's decision to enter into the fray-and a compelling account of courage under fire. Both wrenching and uplifting, On Call in Hell is a portrayal of brothers-in-arms that few will be able to forget. Awarded a Bronze Star with a Combat V for valor, Jadick has become a modern American legend-and a true American hero.

Pulmonary Pathology — Tumors

By: David H. Dail,Samuel P. Hammar,Thomas V. Colby

Taken from the acclaimed Second Edition of Pulmonary Pathology, these five core chapters on benign and malignant pulmonary and pleural tumors now comprise an authoritative text in their own right. Over 850 illustrations - gross dissection specimens, photomicrographs, electron micrographs, radiographs, CT scans and more - of the same top quality found in the parent volume supplement the text. Of special note: problem areas in diagnosis are discussed from the viewpoints of three experienced pulmonary pathologists. More compact and convenient to use than its encyclopedic parent volume, Pulmonary Pathology - Tumors is ideal for pathologists, including residents, who need strategically focussed coverage of the tumors typically encountered in practice.

Doing Critical Ethnography

By: Jim Thomas

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Doing Critical Ethnography

By: Jim Thomas

In this volume, Thomas unites two traditions in social science - critical theory and qualitative research - in an attempt to apply a critical worldview to the conventional logic of cultural inquiry. Rather than standing in opposition to traditional ethnography, it offers a style of considering the direct relationship between knowledge, society, and political action. Thomas addresses the question: If the duty of the researcher entails the righting of social wrongs as well as producing valid research results, how is it possible to juxtapose the two goals? He defines the rules and guidelines for a praxis-oriented ethnographic tradition, one both ideologically engaged and scientifically valid. In addition, he outlines the various types of critical ethnography, explaining the tenets of each and how research can be carried out under these frameworks.

Enhancing the Professional Culture of Academic Health Science Centers

Creating and Sustaining Research Communities

By: Thomas Inui,Richard Frankel

The future of basic and translational research in health care depends on the ability of large, complex health science centers to educate, discover new answers to complex problems, and operate in the service of the public good. So what ingredients are required for successful research in academic health science centers (AHSCs)? This volume presents a number of compelling, international stories about personal and professional investments in research activities as well as the challenges, opportunities, and satisfactions. Each chapter explores concepts for successful research with a focus on the ways communities of practice form and sustain themselves in this complex environment. They explore questions such as creating and sustaining community, promoting innovation, transitions in leadership, and cross-generation collaboration from a personal perspective. They also present a series of portraits of scientists at work: building relationships, supporting one another, and contributing to their fields of study in unique ways. Enhancing the Professional Culture of Academic Health Science Centers offers enlightening reading for researchers, administrators, and policy makers interested in present and future research activities in AHSCs, who will be inspired by narratives of perseverance, passion, generosity, and generativity that fuel research in the centers.

Black France

Colonialism, Immigration, and Transnationalism

By: Dominic Thomas

[W]ithout a doubt one of the most important studies so far completed on literature in French grounded in the experiences of migrants of sub-Saharan African origin." —Alec Hargreaves, Florida State University France has always hosted a rich and vibrant black presence within its borders. But recent violent events have raised questions about France's treatment of ethnic minorities. Challenging the identity politics that have set immigrants against the mainstream, Black France explores how black expressive culture has been reformulated as global culture in the multicultural and multinational spaces of France. Thomas brings forward questions such as—Why is France a privileged site of civilization? Who is French? Who is an immigrant? Who controls the networks of production? Black France poses an urgently needed reassessment of the French colonial legacy.
