During his lifetime, the work of architect George Hadfield
(1763-1826) was highly regarded, both in England and the United
States. Since his death, however, Hadfield's contributions to
architecture have slowly faded from view, and few of his buildings
survive. In order to reassess Hadfield's career and work, this book
draws upon a wide selection of written and visual sources to
reconstruct his life and legacy. After a general introduction, the
book begins with an outline of Hadfield's early years and moves on
to look in detail at the extant major buildings in Washington, D.C.
that he worked on: the Capitol, Arlington House and Old City Hall.
Hadfield's contributions to the Capitol and other Federal buildings
are fully researched and assessed for the first time and Arlington
House is set in context and shown to have been much more
influential than has been appreciated hitherto. New material is
presented on City Hall, which is another major and unjustly
neglected contribution to the architecture of Washington. The
complicated interlocking circles of his family and friends, his
fellow architects, and his patrons and clients, including the
transatlantic connections, are also explored, revealing much about
the course of his career and American architecture in general.
Subsequent chapters and the Catalogue explore the other projects
that Hadfield was involved with, ranging from office buildings,
jails, theatres, factories and banks to a mausoleum and monuments.
The book ends with a reassessment of Hadfield's qualities and
influence, arguing that these were greater than is often
acknowledged. By offering explanations as to why his work was
particularly admired by contemporaries, it is concluded that
Hadfield's architectural style has been influential from his own
times to the present and has been disseminated throughout the
United States.

As a representation of the Woolfs' personal library, the Leonard
and Virginia Woolf Collection at Washington State University
reveals valuable biographical information about the Woolfs and
about writers and artists associated with the Bloomsbury Group. The
Library of Leonard and Virginia Woolf: A Short-title Catalog
consists of brief citations that reflect all the titles within this
WSU collection. Arranged in alphabetical order by author or title,
the entries include an edition statement, printing or impression
statement, publisher, and publication date and location. Initials
are provided for annotators, inscribers, illustrators, and binders.
In this innovative work, Julia King moves nimbly among a variety of
sources and disciplinary approaches-archaeological, historical,
architectural, literary, and art-historical-to show how places take
on, convey, and maintain meanings. Focusing on the beautiful
Chesapeake Bay region of Maryland, King looks at the ways in which
various groups, from patriots and politicians of the antebellum era
to present-day archaeologists and preservationists, have
transformed key landscapes into historical, indeed sacred, spaces.
The sites King examines include the region's vanishing tobacco
farms; St. Mary's City, established as Maryland's first capital by
English settlers in the seventeenth century; and Point Lookout, the
location of a prison for captured Confederate soldiers during the
Civil War. As the author explores the historical narratives
associated with such places, she uncovers some surprisingly durable
myths as well as competing ones. St. Mary's City, for example,
early on became the center of Maryland's "founding narrative" of
religious tolerance, a view commemorated in nineteenth-century
celebrations and reflected even today in local museum exhibits and
preserved buildings. And at Point Lookout, one private group has
established a Confederate Memorial Park dedicated to those who died
at the prison, thus nurturing the Lost Cause ideology that arose in
the South in the late 1800s, while nearby the custodians of a
1,000-acre state park avoid controversy by largely ignoring the
area's Civil War history, preferring instead to concentrate on
recreation and tourism, an unusually popular element of which has
become the recounting of ghost stories. As King shows, the
narratives that now constitute the public memory in southern
Maryland tend to overlook the region's more vexing legacies,
particularly those involving slavery and race. Noting how even her
own discipline of historical archaeology has been complicit in
perpetuating old narratives, King calls for research-particularly
archaeological research-that produces new stories and
"counter-narratives" that challenge old perceptions and
interpretations and thus convey a more nuanced grasp of a
complicated past.

How can SLPs and other practitioners provide the best supports
for adults with aphasia-and help them make a successful return to
daily life? Clear answers are in this comprehensive text, the
definitive guide to research-based strategies, supports, and
technologies that improve outcomes for adults with chronic or acute
aphasia.
Introducing a unique approach to aphasia treatment, this book
goes far beyond coverage of AAC devices, revealing innovative ways
to educate families and communities about the needs of people with
aphasia and encourage ongoing participation in everyday life. SLPs,
OTs, PTs, and other service providers will get the foundational
knowledge they need to
- leverage today's technology--both electronic and non-electronic
options-to support communication
- ensure effective communication support across all healthcare
settings and stages of recovery
- implement therapeutic assessments that involve patients as
proactive partners in their rehabilitation
- weave communication supports into inpatient and outpatient
therapy
- conduct aphasia treatment in small groups to enhance
communication and reduce social isolation
- support participation in everyday situations, including
self-care, leisure activities, and interpersonal interactions
- strengthen social relationships by training the communication
partners of people with aphasia
- maintain ongoing, long-term communication support that adapts
to changing needs
An ideal textbook for graduate courses on aphasia--and an
indispensable resource for practicing SLPs and other service
providers--this book will help professionals strengthen the
communication skills, social competence, and life satisfaction of
people with aphasia.
Includes brief, instructive case studies and quick-reference
lists of communication strategies and supports
