Illich's theories on the effectiveness of cars, air travel, and
energy showed that industrial progress actually hampers the speed
and effectiveness we have as people who were born capable of
walking to our desired destinations. Roads, airports, stations,
traffic jams, all take away the benefits of using complicated
engineered methods of travel, and make our actual travel times
longer.

These beautifully crafted stories depict the changing
relationships between black and white southerners, the impact of
the civil rights movement, and the emergence of the New South.
Mary Ward Brown is a storyteller in the tradition of such
powerful 20th-century writers as William Faulkner, Harper Lee,
Flannery O'Connor, and Eudora Welty-writers who have explored and
dramatized the tension between the inherited social structure of
the South and its contemporary dissolution. With "Tongues of Flame,
" her first collection of short stories, Brown bares the awkward,
sometimes hopeful, and often tragic suffering of people caught in
changing times within a timeless setting.
Here we meet such memorable characters as a dying black woman
who seeks the advice of a now-alcoholic white doctor whom she knew
in better years; a young woman, jilted at the altar, driven crazy
by an illuminated cross erected by the church opposite her house;
and a 95-year-old woman buying a tombstone for her long-deceased
husband only to discover that he had been adulterous throughout
their marriage. Brown constructs her characters in a disarmingly
plain style while breathing life into them with compassion and
honesty as they confront the large moments of their lives.
First published by E. P. Dutton in 1986 to immediate critical
acclaim, "Tongues of Flame" won the 1987 PEN/Ernest Hemingway
Foundation Award. The judges commended Brown for "seeing life
whole, without prejudice, without sentimentality, without
histrionics. Her voice may be quiet-sometimes she speaks in a
whisper-but her words are, nevertheless, always forceful, clear,
and ultimately lasting." With this new publication of Tongues of
Flame and its inclusion in the University of Alabama Press's Deep
South Books series, a whole new generation of readers may once more
discover Mary Ward Brown's profound stories of pain, loss, and
hope.
The life and times of Alabama folk potter Jerry Brown, as told in
his own words Born in 1942, Jerry Brown helped out in his father's
pottery shop as a young boy. There he learned the methods and
techniques for making pottery in a family tradition dating back to
the 1830s. His responsibilities included tending the mule that
drove the mill that was used to mix clay (called "mud" by
traditional potters). Business suffered as demand for stoneware
churns, jugs, and chamber pots waned in the postwar years, and
manufacture ceased following the deaths of Brown's father and
brother in the mid-1960s. Brown turned to logging for his
livelihood, his skill with mules proving useful in working
difficult and otherwise inaccessible terrain. In the early 1980s,
he returned to the family trade and opened a new shop that relied
on the same methods of production with which he had grown up,
including a mule-powered mill for mixing clay and the use of a
wood-fired rather than gas-fueled kiln. Folklorist Joey Brackner
met Brown in 1983, and the two quickly became close friends who
collaborated together on a variety of documentary and educational
projects in succeeding years-efforts that led to greater exposure,
commercial success, and Brown's recognition as a National Heritage
Fellow by the National Endowment for the Arts. For years, Brown
spoke of the urge to write his life story, but he never set pen to
paper. In 2015, Brackner took the initiative and interviewed Brown,
recording his life story over the course of a weekend at Brown's
home. Of Mules and Mud is the result of that marathon interview
session, conducted one year before Brown passed away. Brackner has
captured Jerry Brown's life in his own words as recounted that
weekend, lightly edited and elaborated. Of Mules and Mud is
illustrated with photos from all phases of Brown's life, including
a color gallery of 28 photos of vessel forms made by Brown
throughout his career that collectors of folk pottery will find
invaluable.

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have greatly impacted human society
as well as natural environments over the past decade, in
consequence of their production on a massive scale to support the
emerging market for nanotechnology. Among these ENMs, titanium
dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles have been extensively employed in the
development of novel solutions for photocatalytic applications in
environmental remediation. This book discusses the effects of TiO2
in natural environments. Some other topics discussed include indoor
environment control with functional mortars; the production,
properties and applications of TiO2; dye-sensitized TiO2 for gas
detection; TiO2 induced photocatalytic reduction for organic
synthesis; and the effects of TiO2 nanoparticles on the
inflammatory process.
The first guidebook ever written for the lost Silver Trail leading
from Carichic, Mexico to the historic silver mines at the bottom of
Copper Canyon. In 2005, a group of international guides
re-established this almost forgotten route through some of the most
remote backcountry in Mexico. This gps enhanced guide provides
detailed information needed to hike this incredible route.
The third edition of this book provides new material on sleep
disordered breathing, the newer methods of staging of lung cancer,
interstitial lung diseases and infections all of which have
developed in importance since the last edition of the book. The
traditional areas of respiratory medicine remain strongly
represented and the new edition contains many new radiological
illustrations. The book contains integrated self-test questions,
illustrations and detailed explanations. It is designed to educate
as well as give answers to problems. The cases appear in random
order and at varying levels of difficulty, just as patients present
in practice. The Colour Review will appeal to a wide readership,
ranging from senior medical students and post-registration trainees
in internal medicine, to pulmonologists in training and practice,
for examination revision and continuing education.
