Rural people and communities continue to play important social,
economic, and environmental roles at a time when societies are
rapidly urbanizing. This unrivaled critical introduction, now in a
comprehensively updated second edition, examines the causes and
consequences of major social and economic transformations affecting
rural populations in recent decades, explores policies developed to
ameliorate problems or enhance opportunities, and highlights the
resilience of rural people and communities. In an engaging,
reader-friendly style, the book explores both socio-demographic and
political economic aspects of rural transformation through an
accessible and up-to-date blend of theory and empirical analysis,
with each chapter's discussion grounded in real-life case-study
materials. The new edition has been completely revised throughout,
with new data and literature, and carefully updated to address
emerging issues of direct relevance to rural people and places,
including a whole new chapter on rural politics. Rural People and
Communities in the 21st Century will continue to be the standard
reading of choice for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses
in rural sociology, community sociology, rural and/or population
geography, community development, and population studies.

Poems of love, nature and moving on to new adventure.
IT'S ABOUT TIME is not a book about Time Management and
multi-tasking. Enough people drive down the fast lane while
drinking a cup of coffee, smoking a cigarette, and talking on their
cell phone. IT'S ABOUT TIME speaks to the Value of Time. The
message driven home to all of us from our youth is that Time and
Money are the two scarcest commodities known to Man. The premise of
IT'S ABOUT TIME is that Time is the more significant of the two for
one simple fact: we can recover or replace lost Money, but lost
Time is gone forever. Unfortunately most business owners place more
emphasis on Money rather than Time. Too many operational decisions
consider Money alone without regard to the Value of Time consumed.
The author uses anecdotes, illustrations, daily life examples, and
experiences as a business owner, business manager, teacher, and
business consultant to support the central theme of the book.
In Part 1, Don writes of the flowers around his island home, the
grief of his wife's passing and awaking to new love. In Part 2,
Eleanor writes of her visions of home, meeting Don, her personal
growth and acceptance of her last journey.
