The Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd helped usher in a new
kind of southern music from Jacksonville, Florida. Together, they
and fellow bands like Blackfoot, 38 Special, and Molly Hatchet
would reset the course of seventies rock. Yet Jacksonville seemed
an unlikely hotbed for a new musical movement. Michael FitzGerald
blends eyewitness detail with in-depth history to tell the story of
how the River City bred this generation of legendary musicians. As
he profiles essential bands alongside forerunners like Gram Parsons
and Cowboy, FitzGerald reveals how the powerful local AM radio
station worked with newspapers and television stations to nurture
talent. Media attention in turn created a public hungry for live
performances by area bands. What became the southern rock elite
welded relentless determination to a ferocious work ethic, honing
their gifts on a testing ground that brooked no weakness and took
no prisoners. FitzGerald looks at the music as the diverse
soundtrack to a neo-southern lifestyle that reconciled different
segments of society in Jacksonville, and across the nation, in the
late sixties and early seventies. A vivid journey into a crucible
of American music, Jacksonville and the Roots of Southern Rock
shines a light on the artists and songs that powered a phenomenon.
Documentary about contemporary artists and how they repond to
consumerism through their work. The artists featured in the
programme include Barbara Kruger, Michael Ray Charles, Matthew
Barney, Andrea Zittel and Mel Chin.
Born at Christmas 1249 to Richard, Edmund of Cornwall was nephew to
Henry III and cousin to Edward I. His eventful childhood took him
to Germany when his father was elected king there. He was captured
at the battle of Lewes and imprisoned for more than a year.
Returning from crusade, he witnessed the brutal murder of his
half-brother, which left him as heir to his father, the richest man
in the kingdom. Throughout his life, Edmund played a crucial role
in medieval England. As Regent of England, Earl of Cornwall and the
richest man in the land, he was a leading force of the
late-thirteenth century. This book considers Edmund's life, his use
of his wealth to lend to the king and others and to be a major
benefactor of religious houses. His piety saw him found two new
religious houses, rebuild another and bring the Holy Blood relic
from Germany to Hailes abbey. His record as Regent of England for
three years is assessed. The wide spread of his lands, which
included 13castles and more than 800 places in 27 counties, and his
tenants are set out as is his place in the local community. The
basis of his wealth and its sources, including money from his lands
but also from tin mining and marine dues in Cornwall, is explored
and his knightly affinity and his close associates and officials
are considered. On a personal level, the book examines his
unsuccessful, childless marriage with the sister of the Earl of
Gloucester. Edmund was a key figure throughout Edward I's rein and
the late-thirteenth century. In this insightful account, the man
behind England's 'greatest king' is at long last brought to the
fore.
As major universities and professional organizations like the
Poynter Institute have begun to examine graphic nonfiction from a
critical perspective, new courses are emerging that give student
writers and artists the tools to tell their own nonfiction stories
in comics form. Nonfiction Comics is the first textbook to bring
these tools and techniques together in a single volume. Most
novices who first attempt the form arrive at it from a background
of journalism or art, meaning they arrive with at least one deficit
in the required skill set. Journalists, for example, typically have
had little training in illustration. Artists and designers may not
know how to conduct interviews or to avoid the potential legal
pitfalls of telling the personal stories of real people. This book
aims to fill in the gaps providing student journalists, artists,
designers, creative writers, web producers and others the tools
they need to tell stories visually and graphically.
Based on the authors' popular team-taught nonfiction comics
course, Nonfiction Comics teaches readers how to create a graphic
nonfiction story from start to finish, providing guidance on:
- how to find the story and how to find and utilize appropriate
facts and visuals;
- nonfiction narrative techniques
- artist's tools and techniques
- print, digital, and multimedia production
- legal and ethical considerations
Interviews with well-known nonfiction comics creators--showcased
in the book and on the book's companion website--will discuss best
practice and offer readers inspiration to begin creating their own
work.

More than 10,000 known caves lie beneath the state of Tennessee
according to the Tennessee Cave Survey, a nonprofit organization
that catalogs and maps them. In Hidden Nature: Wild Southern Caves,
Taylor tells the story of this vast underground wilderness. Besides
describing the sheer physical majesty of the region's wild caverns
and the concurrent joys and dangers of exploring them, he examines
their rich natural history and scientific import, their
relationship to clean water and a healthy surface environment, and
their uncertain future. As a long-time caver and the author of
three popular books related to caving - Cave Passages (1996), Dark
Life (1998), and Caves (2000) - Taylor enjoys (for a journalist)
unusual access to their secretive world. He is personally
acquainted with many of the region's most accomplished cave
explorers and scientists, and they in turn are familiar with his
popular writing on caves in books; in magazines such as Audubon,
Outside, and Sports Illustrated; and on websites such as those of
the Discovery Channel and the PBS science series Nova. Hidden
Nature: Wild Southern Caves is structured as a comprehensive work
of well-researched fact that reads like a personal narrative of the
author's long attraction to these caves and the people who dare
enter their hidden chambers.
