Sites Unseen

Architecture, Race, and American Literature

By: William A. Gleason

Sites Unseen examines the complex intertwining of race and architecture in nineteenth and early-twentieth century American culture, the period not only in which American architecture came of age professionally in the U.S. but also in which ideas about architecture became a prominent part of broader conversations about American culture, history, politics, andOCoalthough we have not yet understood this clearlyOCorace relations. This rich and copiously illustrated interdisciplinary study explores the ways that American writing between roughly 1850 and 1930 concerned itself, often intensely, with the racial implications of architectural space primarily, but not exclusively, through domestic architecture. In addition to identifying an archive of provocative primary materials, Sites Unseen draws significantly on important recent scholarship in multiple fields ranging from literature, history, and material culture to architecture, cultural geography, and urban planning. Together the chapters interrogate a variety of expressive American vernacular forms, including the dialect tale, the novel of empire, letters, and pulp stories, along with the plantation cabin, the West Indian cottage, the Latin American plaza, and the OC OrientalOCO parlor. These are some of the overlooked plots and structures that can and should inform a more comprehensive consideration of the literary and cultural meanings of American architecture. Making sense of the relations between architecture, race, and American writing of the long nineteenth centuryOCoin their regional, national, and hemispheric contextsOCo Sites Unseen provides a clearer view not only of this catalytic era but also more broadly of what architectural historian Dell Upton has aptly termed the social experience of the built environment.

Prostate Cancer and How It Changed Me

Prostate Cancer and How It Changed Me

By: William J. Voller

When I was initially diagnosed with prostate cancer, I did not know much about the subject. I went to the local library and bookstore to see if I could discover any insight from other people's experiences. I found a few books about prostate cancer primarily written by doctors who were involved in the specific industry. These books were very technical in nature and very detailed in the complexities of the disease. However, they did not address the human or subjective side of the disease. How it would impact me, what I would be feeling, was there any pain, what are the next steps, what are my options are all questions that I wanted answers to. I did find many books written by females who described their experiences with breast cancer. I decided to write a book about my experiences with prostate cancer to help men who have been diagnosed with this cancer. Reading my book along with a technical book written by a doctor will give men a complete picture of what to expect with prostate cancer--how it will impact their lives and the lives of their spouses.
