From the days of early tribes that hunted and fished to the
tourists who later relaxed on the beaches, St. Simons Island has
been part of the changing landscape of Georgia's coast. When Gen.
James E. Oglethorpe established Fort Frederica to protect Savannah
and the Carolinas from the threat of Spain, it was, for a short
time, a vibrant hub of British military operations. During the
latter part of the 1700s, a plantation society thrived on the
island until the outbreak of the War Between the States. Never
returning to an agricultural community, by 1870 St. Simons
re-established itself with the development of a booming timber
industry. And by the 1870s, the pleasant climate and proximity to
the sea drew visitors to St. Simons as a year-round resort.
Although the causeway had brought large numbers of summer people to
the island, St. Simons remained a sleepy little place with only a
few hundred permanent residents until 1941.

How veterinarians and pet owners manage companion animal
euthanasia.
Offering a candid behind-the-scenes look at small-animal
veterinary practices, "Blue Juice" explores the emotional and
ethical conflicts involved in providing a good death for companion
animals. Patricia Morris presents a nuanced ethnographic account of
how veterinarians manage patient care and client relations when
their responsibility shifts from saving an animal's life to
negotiating a decision to end it.
Using her own experiences and observations in veterinary settings
as well as the voices of seasoned and novice vets, Morris reveals
how veterinarians think about euthanasia and why this dirty work
often precipitates burnout, moral quandaries, and even tense or
emotional interactions with clients. Closely observing these
interactions, Morris illuminates the ways in which euthanasia
reflects deep and unresolved tension in human-animal
relationships.
"Blue Juice" seeks to understand how practitioners, charged with
the difficult task of balancing the interests of animals and their
humans, deal with the responsibility of ending their patients'
lives.
