Prose Poetry in Theory and Practice vigorously engages with the
Why? and the How? of prose poetry, a form that is currently
enjoying a surge in popularity. With contributions by both
practitioners and academics, this volume seeks to explore how its
distinctive properties guide both writer and reader, and to address
why this form is so well suited to the early twenty-first century.
With discussion of both classic and less well- known writers, the
essays both illuminate prose poetry's distinctive features and
explore how this "outsider" form can offer a unique way of viewing
and describing the uncertainties and instabilities which shape our
identities and our relationships with our surroundings in the early
twenty-first century. Combining insights on the theory and practice
of prose poetry, Prose Poetry in Theory and Practice offers a
timely and valuable contribution to the development of the form,
and its appreciation amongst practitioners and scholars alike.
Largely approached from a practitioner perspective, this collection
provides vivid snapshots of contemporary debates within the prose
poetry field while actively contributing to the poetics and craft
of the form.

Do daughters step into their mothers' shoes? How does this central
relationship color women's lives? The tales in this anthology
address these questions with honesty and vigor, weaving humor and
warmth into the telling of small but significant
tragedies.Celebrated poets, the writers showcased here explore
daughter hood and motherhood in their own unique styles and offer a
distinct set of insights. They speak out in prose that fizzes and
crackles, throwing light on this most formative of relationships.
You'll find plenty to uncover in this irreverent but heartfelt take
on an age-old subject."Some Girls' Mothers" features stories from
Suzanne Batty, Anne Caldwell, Nell Farrell, Char March, Clare Shaw
and River Wolton.
The science of human physical activity and fitness is ripe for a
novel theoretical framework that can integrate the ecological,
genetic, physiological and psychological factors that influence
physical activity in humans. Physical inactivity dominates most
developed nations around the world, and is among the leading causes
of disease burden and death worldwide. Despite the wide array of
physical and mental health benefits, few people get the recommended
level of physical activity to achieve these benefits. Current
research on physical activity has not, as of yet, been successful
for the development of effective exercise interventions. Several
researchers have advocated a more integrative approach that takes
evolutionary history into account, but such a framework has yet to
be advanced. To that aim, the first goal of this book is to present
a comprehensive evolutionary and life history framework that
highlights the domain-specific aspects of the evolved psychology
and physiology that can lead to a more integrated and complete
understanding of physical activity across the lifespan. It
summarizes and extends previous work that has been done to
understand the ways natural selection has shaped physical activity
in humans in traditional and modern economies and environments. In
many ways, humans are adapted to be physically active. Overall,
however, natural selection has shaped a flexible, but energy
conscious system that responds to environmental and individual
costs and benefits of physical activity to optimally allocate a
finite energetic budget across the lifespan. This system is adapted
to respond to cues of resource scarcity and high levels of
obligatory physical activity, and conserves energy to favor
allocation in ways that increase the likelihood of reproductive
success and survival. This nuanced application leads to a more
thorough understanding of the circumstances that natural selection
is predicted to favor both sedentary and active behaviors in
predictable ways across the lifespan. The second goal of this book
is to synthesize and interpret cross-disciplinary research (from
biological and evolutionary anthropology and psychology;
epidemiology; health psychology; and exercise physiology) that can
illuminate original approaches to increase physical activity in
modern, primarily sedentary contexts. This includes a breakdown of
the human lifespan to discuss the predicted costs and benefits of
physical activity at each stage of life in order to differentiate
the obstacles to physical activity and exercise that are
functionally adaptive-or were in the environments that they
evolved-and identifying which factors are more modifiable than
others in order to develop interventions and environments that are
more conducive to physical activity. Normal 0 false false false

The Journal of the Earl of Egmont reveals private historical
records kept by John Perceval, the first Earl of Egmont and
secretary for the Common Council, a council appointed by the
Charter of the colony of Georgia. A close friend of James Edward
Oglethorpe, Egmont was instrumental in various colonial projects,
including obtaining money for the new Carolina charter, serving as
the first president of the Trustees, and often serving as the
chairman of the Common Council. His careful records and plentiful
writing found here offer a historical perspective on Georgia's
early days.

These essays look at southern social customs within a single city
in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In particular, the
volume focuses on paternalism between masters and slaves, husbands
and wives, elites and the masses, and industrialists and workers.
How Augusta's millworkers, homemakers, and others resisted,
exploited, or endured the constraints of paternalism reveals the
complex interplay between race, class, and gender. One essay looks
at the subordinating effects of paternalism on women in the Old
South-slave, free black, and white-and the coping strategies
available to each group. Another focuses on the Knights of Labor
union in Augusta. With their trappings of chivalry, the Knights are
viewed as a response by Augusta's white male millworkers to the
emasculating "maternalism" to which they were subjected by their
own wives and daughters and those of mill owners and managers.
Millworkers are also the topic of a study of mission work in their
communities, a study that gauges the extent to which religious
outreach by elites was a means of social control rather than an
outpouring of genuine concern for worker welfare. Other essays
discuss Augusta's "aristocracy of color," who had to endure the
same effronteries of segregation as the city's poorest blacks; the
role of interracial cooperation in the founding of the Colored
Methodist Episcopal Church as a denomination, and of Augusta's
historic Trinity CME Church; and William Jefferson White, an
African American minister, newspaper editor, and founder of
Morehouse College. The varied and creative responses to paternalism
discussed here open new ways to view relationships based on power
and negotiated between men and women, blacks and whites, and the
prosperous and the poor.
