With rich soils, thousands of creeks, and thirteen major river
basins, the state of Kentucky is abundant with wild edibles that
not only are delicious but also can be useful for medicinal
purposes. Various species of wildflowers such as spring beauty,
edible fungi like chanterelles, and tree crops such as hickory nuts
may be foraged and pickled, steamed, candied, or stir-fried to
create an enticing, healthy, and substantial meal. Foraging
Kentucky is an expansive beginners' guide to safely and ethically
foraging in the state. The species covered in the book are divided
into three categories: herbaceous plants, fungi, and woody plants.
Author, forager, and environmental educator George Barnett shares
his extensive knowledge on the proper identification of the
featured species, where and when they grow, and how to harvest and
prepare them for consumption. Complete with high-definition color
photographs, recipes, and short history lessons, this guide is
chock-full of crucial information for readers who want to forge an
enlightening relationship with the delectable foods naturally
available in Kentucky's great outdoors.
The systems approach to the study of organizational communication
is undergoing a renaissance. This volume brings together several
essays from this emerging perspective from communication and
systems analysts.
This volume focuses on persuasion and the structure and analysis of
persuasive communication. It brings together contributions from
scholars from a variety of backgrounds in communication sciences
and psychology, with insights into the processing of persuasive
messages, attitude theory as viewed from a neural network model,
and models of resistance to influence. This series compiles
research from a range of disciplines such as information science,
library science, and international relations, that share the
unifying purpose of understanding communication and information
processing. It offers reviews of those diverse areas that fall
within the broad rubrics of information and communication science,
as well as an overview of how people use information. The volumes
report on research in three important areas: information transfer
and information systems; the uses and effects of communications;
and the control of communications and information.
George Barnett was the man behind the United States Marine Corps'
transformation from an antiquated afterthought to a modern force
with an international reputation. After a long apprenticeship as a
junior officer, Barnett emerged as a pioneer of amphibious warfare.
Leading the experimental Advanced Base Force Brigade at Culebra in
1914, he secured the Corps' survival by establishing its new,
amphibious mission. Appointed Commandant the same year, Barnett
organized the Corps for service in Europe, agitated for its
expansion and overcame opposition from the Army and Navy. Without
him, the Marines would not have served in France in the World War
I. Barnett was abruptly relieved as Commandant in 1920, in what has
been called "the Barnett Putsch". In retirement, he dictated his
recollections of 45 years of service, including his education at
Annapolis, overseas service in Sitka, Samoa and Peking, and
encounters with Robert Louis Stevenson, the Meiji Emperor and the
Dowager Empress of China. This edited version of his story provides
an unprecedented look at the Corps between the Civil War and the
Spanish-American War. Long mined by scholars, Barnett's memoir is
now available to the public.
Assembling the Architect explores the origins and history of
architectural practice. It unravels the competing interests that
historically have structured the field and cultivates a deeper
understanding of the contemporary profession. Focusing on the
period 1870 to 1920 when the foundations were being laid for the
U.S. architectural profession that we recognize today, this study
traces the formation and standardization of the fundamental
relationships among architects, owners, and builders, as codified
in the American Institute of Architects' very first Handbook of
Architectural Practice. It reveals how these archetypal roles have
always been fluid, each successfully redefining their own agency
with respect to the others in the constantly-shifting political
economy of building. Far from being a purely historical study, the
book also sheds light on today's digitally-enabled profession.
Contemporary architectural tools and disciplinary ideals continue
to be shaped by the same fundamental tensions, and emergent modes
of practice such as BIM (Building Information Modelling) and IPD
(Integrated Project Delivery) represent the realization of programs
and agendas that have been over a century in play. Essential
reading for professional practice courses as a contextual and
historical companion to the Handbook, Assembling the Architect
provides a critical perspective of the profession that is
fundamental to understanding current architectural practice.
