"Ukrainian Soul" saves the lives of two American pioneers from Ukraine. Through their own accounts, as well as those of others, we follow their lives from "the old country" to America. As David DuVal writes, "We can listen to the stories from that time and assume that Pesach and Motley could relate to them, nod their heads, and say, 'Yes, our experience was a little different, but that's the way it was.'" "Ukrainian Soul" also includes, in autobiographical form, the life of one of their children as the lives of their entire family unfold in La Crosse, Wisconsin where they eventually moved.
First published in 1983. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of the types, standard and problems of ventilation. Topics discussed include non-conventional energy systems in building design; industrial ventilation systems; pulmonary ventilators as monitoring instruments; influence of the ventilation rate on radon and thoron progeny concentrations in a room; acoustic filters in a power system; RANS and LES turbulence models for indoor airflows and wind towers as natural ventilation devices
After arriving from South Asia approximately a thousand years ago, cannabis quickly spread throughout the African continent. European accounts of cannabis in Africa-often fictionalized and reliant upon racial stereotypes-shaped widespread myths about the plant and were used to depict the continent as a cultural backwater and Africans as predisposed to drug use. These myths continue to influence contemporary thinking about cannabis. In The African Roots of Marijuana, Chris S. Duvall corrects common misconceptions while providing an authoritative history of cannabis as it flowed into, throughout, and out of Africa. Duvall shows how preexisting smoking cultures in Africa transformed the plant into a fast-acting and easily dosed drug and how it later became linked with global capitalism and the slave trade. People often used cannabis to cope with oppressive working conditions under colonialism, as a recreational drug, and in religious and political movements. This expansive look at Africa's importance to the development of human knowledge about marijuana will challenge everything readers thought they knew about one of the world's most ubiquitous plants.
