With sprightly humor and a lifetime spent observing Southern
culture, beloved storyteller Kathryn Tucker Windham shares memories
of her childhood in Thomasville, Alabama. She affectionately
recounts stories about family members, friends, and favorite
pastimes. Spit, Scarey Ann, and Sweat Bees recalls small-town life
in the 1920s and '30s, garnished with ruminations about folktales
and superstitions. Mrs. Windham recalls how Thurza, the family
cook, tucked a wooden match in her hair to cure a headache, and how
her father spit in his hat when a rabbit crossed the road. She
ponders the origins of old sayings and the creativity of
children’s play before television and air conditioning. One thing
leads to another, Mrs. Windham says, ticking off the items she
wants us not to forget. In every phrase, the reader hears her
voice, almost as if our favorite storyteller was in the room.
HMP Holloway was the largest women's prison in Europe, historically
holding numerous infamous female criminals and eliciting intrigue
and fascination from the public. The End of the Sentence:
Psychotherapy with Female Offenders documents the rich and varied
psychotherapeutic work undertaken by dedicated specialists in this
intense and often difficult environment, where attempts to provide
psychological security were often undermined by conflicting ideas
of physical security. Women commit crime most often in the context
of poverty, addiction and transgenerational violence or trauma,
familial cycles of offending and imprisonment which are often
overlooked. Using personal testimony and case studies, and screened
through the lens of psychoanalytic theory, the book examines the
enduring therapeutic and relational endeavour to find connection,
closure and to experience a "good enough" ending with prisoners
when the possibility of a positive new beginning often seemed
remote. It also considers how the cultural and political discourse
remains hostile towards women who are incarcerated, and how this
may have culminated in the closure of the only female prison in
London. Through insightful real-life accounts, this insightful book
also emphasizes the importance of professionals finding ways of
supporting one another to offer women who have entered the criminal
justice system a way to leave it. It will prove fascinating reading
for forensic psychotherapists, forensic psychologists and
criminologists, as well as anything interested in the criminal
justice system.
First published in 1869, this book describes the spiritualist
activity of Scottish-born Daniel Dunglas Home (1833-86), who
emerged as a medium in the United States in the wake of the Fox
sisters' alleged 'spirit rappings' in the mid-nineteenth century.
Written by the Irish journalist and politician Windham Thomas
Wyndham-Quin, Lord Adare (1841-1926), who befriended Home in 1867,
the book records Adare's observations of seventy-eight spiritualist
sittings over two years, and reports verbatim the conversations
between Home and the spirits with whom he was allegedly in contact.
Adare also describes Home's supernatural interactions away from the
formal setting of a seance. The accounts were originally written as
private reports to Adare's father, the landowner and archeologist
Edwin Wyndham-Quin, third Earl of Dunraven. Dunraven was deeply
interested in spiritualist activity and wrote the introduction to
this work, which also includes a classification of all spiritualist
phenomena.

assignments are falling to Jedi in training like masterless Padawan

Key features: Captures the historic context and recent developments
in science and policy arenas that address the potential for coastal
wetlands to be considered as significant contributors to carbon
sequestration Links multiple levels of science (biogeochemistry,
geomorphology, paleoclimate, etc.) with blue carbon concepts
(science, policy, mapping, operationalization, economics) in a
single compendium Concludes with a discussion of future directions
which covers integrated scientific approaches, impending threats
and specific gaps in current knowledge Includes 7 case studies from
across the globe that demonstrate the benefits and challenges of
blue carbon accounting Written by over 100 leading global blue
carbon experts in science and policy. Blue Carbon has emerged as a
term that represents the distinctive carbon stocks and fluxes into
or out of coastal wetlands such as marshes, mangroves, and
seagrasses. The Blue Carbon concept has rapidly developed in
science literature and is highly relevant politically, as nations
and markets are developing blue carbon monitoring and management
tools and policies. This book is a comprehensive and current
compendium of the state of the science, the state of maps and
mapping protocols, and the state of policy incentives (including
economic valuation of blue carbon), with additional sections on
operationalizing blue carbon projects and 7 case studies with
global relevance.

This is the first anthology of the author's own favorite ghost
stories from the highly successful Jeffrey series of books that
began in 1969 with 13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey. Hundreds of
thousands of these books have been sold. The present volume
includes 13 of the best of Mrs. Windham's stories, representing
mysterious and supernatural doings from Alabama, Georgia,
Tennessee, and Mississippi. Most of the stories are related to
historical places and sometimes to historical people.
This slender book, the last of twenty-nine written by Kathryn
Tucker Windham over her long and productive life, will be an
exquisitely bittersweet read for the many fans of the late
storyteller and author from Selma, Alabama. In She, which Windham
was putting the finishing touches on when she died in June 2011,
the author describes how she woke up one day to find that she had
an unwanted houseguest, an old woman who had suddenly moved into
her home and was taking over her life. Windham referred to this
interloper simply as She, and here the reader has been invited into
the lively colloquy between the author-whose spirit has not
changed-and her alter ego, who moves haltingly toward her earthly
end. She will leave you laughing and crying, but also grateful and
hopeful.
