The Madison, the Gallatin, the Firehole, Henry’s Fork of the
Snake, the Gibbon, Slough Creek, the Yellowstone—these and a
score of other rivers (more than 2,000 miles of them) within a
hundred-mile radius make West Yellowstone, Montana, the “trout
mecca” of the world. Charlie Brooks, a long-time resident of the
area, has pooled his incisive knowledge of fishing and rivers with
superb photographer Dan Callaghan to produce the first major
fisherman’s guide to the region. In Fishing Yellowstone Waters
you will learn the fabled pools on these famous rivers, the insect
hatches, the best files to use (and when), the most effective
methods of fishing each river and the most fruitful times. There
are some especially helpful appendixes that list the most popular
flies, based on a poll of local tackle dealers made by the authors.
Too many people travel long distances to this area but lack the
specific knowledge needed to make their trip as productive as it
might be. This book can help. But it is also for all fishermen who
dream of someday fishing these marvelous, productive waters.
Immigrant laborers who came to the New South in the late nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries found themselves poised uncomfortably
between white employers and the Black working class, a liminal and
often precarious position. Campaigns to recruit immigrants
primarily aimed to suppress Black agency and mobility. If that
failed, both planters and industrialists imagined that immigrants
might replace Blacks entirely. Thus, white officials, citizens, and
employers embraced immigrants when they acted in ways that
sustained Jim Crow. However, when they directly challenged
established political and economic power structures, immigrant
laborers found themselves ostracized, jailed, or worse, by the New
South order. Both industrial employers and union officials lauded
immigrants' hardworking and noble character when it suited their
purposes, and both denigrated and racialized them when immigrant
laborers acted independently. Jennifer E. Brooks's Resident
Strangers restores immigrant laborers to their place in the history
of the New South, considering especially how various immigrant
groups and individuals experienced their time in New South Alabama.
Brooks utilizes convict records, censuses, regional and national
newspapers, government documents, and oral histories to construct
the story of immigrants in New South Alabama. The immigrant groups
she focuses on appeared most often as laborers in the records,
including the Chinese, southern Italians, and the diverse nationals
of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, along with a sprinkling of others.
Although recruitment crusades by Alabama's employers and New South
boosters typically failed to bring in the vast numbers of
immigrants they had envisioned, significant populations from around
the world arrived in industries and communities across the state,
especially in the coal- and ore-mining district of Birmingham.
Resident Strangers reveals that immigrant laborers' presence and
individual agency complicated racial categorization, disrupted
labor relations, and diversified southern communities. It also
presents a New South that was far from isolated from the forces at
work across the nation or in the rest of the world. Immigrant
laborers brought home to New South Alabama the turbulent world of
empire building, deeply embedding the region in national and global
networks of finance, trade, and labor migration.

The 1925 trial of John Scopes in tiny Dayton, Tennessee, remains a
defining moment in American history. This "trial of the century"--a
"media event" before the term was coined--addressed issues that
still affect our society today, such as school curriculum control,
the ongoing tensions between science and faith in public schools
and the ramifications of teaching evolution and human origins. This
book is the first encyclopedic treatment of the Scopes Trial. The
text draws on media reports, family interviews and Scopes' personal
correspondence, providing new information and perspectives. The
book has previously unseen photos and information about Scopes and
his relatives, as well as insights about the trial's instigators,
participants, and issues, all organized in a concise and easily
accessible format.

Pre-eighteenth century America was a uniquely pragmatic, utopian
society a new world in which the expectations of a new beginning
brought by explorers, traders, and settlers often conflicted
violently the Native Americans they encountered. In Era of
Persuasion: American Thought and Culture 1521 1680, E. Brooks
Holifield identifies the act of persuasion as the common ground on
which these disparate groups stood. As he clearly documents and
persuasively interprets an America that some readers may not
recognize, Holifield includes compelling insights into the social
expressions of Native Americans and Africans as well as Europeans.
His view extends from the pueblos of New Mexico and the missions of
France to the plantations of Virginia and the towns of New England.
Era of Persuasion portrays an early American society populated by
passionate visionaries with urgently persuasive purposes who lived
by applied philosophy and inspired action, and will be appreciated
by the curious reader and avid historian alike."

Understanding That's the Way of the World requires appreciating
Earth, Wind & Fire founder Maurice White's multifaceted vision
for his band. White created a band that performed various styles of
music that sought to uplift humanity. His musicians personified a
new form of Black masculinity rooted in dignity that embraced
diverse spiritualities and healthy living. A complete understanding
of TTWOTW also necessitates an awareness of American racial
dynamics and changes in the popular music industry in the 1960s and
'70s. EWF's landmark album TTWOTW presented hopeful messages about
the world that were sorely needed at the time. TTWOTW did not tell
listeners exactly how to live, but instead how they can live in a
quest for self-actualization. The songs encourage us to yearn,
learn, love, see, listen, and feel happy. If art can help mold a
better future, than EWF's musical legacy of positivity and
self-empowerment will continue to contribute to personal growth and
social change even as their melodies linger.

social, and political context.
The majority of individuals with eating disorders also experience
symptoms of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic reactions, and/or
obsessive-compulsive disorders. Most research-supported treatments
for eating disorders, however, do not integrate interventions for
these co-occurring conditions in a unified way. The Renfrew Unified
Treatment for Eating Disorders and Comorbidity was developed to
help people who struggle with any type of eating disorder as well
as intense emotions like anxiety, sadness, anger, and guilt. Eating
disorders include symptoms such as efforts to restrict eating,
binge eating or overeating, and compulsive or unhealthy efforts to
lose weight, alongside strong, distressing feelings about the
importance of shape, weight, or eating control. The goal of this
Workbook, which is designed to accompany the companion Therapist
Guide, is to help people overcome their individual eating and
emotional issues using a common set of scientifically tested tools.
The steps and exercises in this book are intended to help readers
identify and better understand how eating and emotional issues
interact, to address some of the core thoughts and behaviors that
underpin both eating and emotional disorders, and to develop new
flexibility and capacity in areas of life that have been affected.
The strategies included in this book are based on common principles
found in existing empirically supported psychological treatments,
and have been extensively tested in research studies. The research
to support these interventions is included in the companion
Therapist Guide.
U.S. agricultural trade generates employment, income and purchasing
power in both the farm and non-farm sectors. This new book examines
past trends and emerging developments by spotlighting the role of
two specific factors that help steer U.S. agricultural trade
patterns: global growth and shifts in foreign economic activity
that affect U.S. exports and macroeconomic factors underlying the
growth of U.S. imports.
