Book excerpt: A laboratory curiosity at first, lithium is now a part of our society. Unknown to most people, it is being used in many practical applications, such as ceramics, greases, electronics, medicine, and hopefully in the future, will be used in a fusion that would solve world’s energy problems. While lithium has been the subject of many specific publications, no comprehensive book covering all aspects of lithium has been published so far. This book discusses the original discovery of lithium, its development from a mineral of curiosity to an expanding industry, its geological occurrences, and its various applications, culminating in its present use in the ever-expanding electromotive industry. The author’s wonderful and exciting experiences of his long lithium career shared in the book will satisfy the readers’ curiosity about this expanding industry.

Scathing and tender, it lifts often into poetry, but comes down hard when it must. Through it all runs the river: sluggish, ancient, dangerous, freighted with America’s sins.” —Robert Macfarlane, author of Underland Kerri Arsenault grew up in the small, rural town of Mexico, Maine, where for over 100 years the community orbited around a paper mill that provided jobs for nearly everyone in town, including three generations of her family. Kerri had a happy childhood, but years after she moved away, she realized the price she paid for that childhood. The price everyone paid. The mill, while providing the social and economic cohesion for the community, also contributed to its demise. Mill Town is a book of narrative nonfiction, investigative memoir, and cultural criticism that illuminates the rise and collapse of the working-class, the hazards of loving and leaving home, and the ambiguous nature of toxics and disease with the central question; Who or what are we willing to sacrifice for our own survival?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The temple mound and mortuary at Town Creek, in Montgomery County, is one of the few surviving earthen mounds built by prehistoric Native Americans in North Carolina. It has been recognized as an important archaeological site for almost sixty years and, as a state historic site, has become a popular destination for the public. This book is Joffre Coe's illustrated chronicle of the archaeological research conducted at Town Creek, a project with which Coe has been intimately involved for more than fifty years, since its inception as a WPA program in 1937. Written for visitors as well as for scholars, Town Creek Indian Mound provides an overview of the site and the archaeological techniques pioneered there, surveys the history of the excavations, and features more than 200 photographs and maps. The book carefully reconstructs the archaeological record, including plant and animal remains, pottery sherds, stone tools, and clay ornaments. In a concluding interpretive section, Coe reflects on what Town Creek and its artifacts tell us about this prehistoric Native American society. Originally published in 1995.

Download or read book Confronting Urban Legacy written by Xiangming Chen and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confronting Urban Legacy fills a critical lacuna in urban scholarship. As almost all of the literature focuses on global cities and megacities, smaller, secondary cities, which actually hold the majority of the world’s population, are either critically misunderstood or unexamined in their entirety. This neglect not only biases scholars’ understanding of social and spatial dynamics toward very large global cities but also maintains a void in students’ learning. This book specifically explores the transformative relationship between globalization and urban transition in Hartford, Connecticut, while including crucial comparative chapters on other forgotten New England cities: Portland, Maine, along with Lawrence and Springfield, Massachusetts. Hartford’s transformation carries a striking imprint of globalization that has been largely missed: from its 17th century roots as New England first inland colonial settlement, to its emergence as one of the world’s most prosperous manufacturing and insurance metropolises, to its present configuration as one of America’s poorest post-industrial cities, which by still retaining a globally lucrative FIRE Sector is nevertheless surrounded by one of the nation’s most prosperous metropolitan regions. The myriad of dilemmas confronting Hartford calls for this book to take an interdisciplinary approach. The editors’ introduction places Hartford in a global comparative perspective; Part I provides rich historical delineations of the many rises and (not quite) falls of Hartford; Part II offers a broad contemporary treatment of Hartford by dissecting recent immigration and examining the demographic and educational dimensions of the city-suburban divide; and Part III unpacks Hartford’s current social, economic, and political situation and discusses what the city could become. Using the lessons from this book on Hartford and other underappreciated secondary cities in New England, urban scholars, leaders, and residents alike can gain a number of essential insights—both theoretical and practical.

Book excerpt: In 1911 representatives of the Richvale Land Company began promoting the wonderful value of a new Sacramento Valley investment opportunity. Many hardworking Kansas and Nebraska farmers, weary of drought, blizzards, and hardship, found the lure of the California dream too powerful to resist.According to a Richvale Land Company 1911 brochure, "The lots in the new town of Richvale have just been placed on the market. Any representative of the Richvale Land Company will furnish you prices and terms and explain details regarding the same. The improvement work at Richvale will cover macadamized streets, cement sidewalks, water mains and a septic sewage tank system, and another year will see in Richvale one of the most modern towns on the Pacific coast."The promise was great, and new landowners, having sold their belongings and packed their families and livestock onto immigrant trains, began to depart for the Richvale Colony. Upon arrival, settlers were shocked to discover that there were no paved or even graveled roads, no sidewalks, and no city improvements. One early settler got off the train at Richvale with his wife and five children on December 17, 1911. The man stood next to his wife as she surveyed the landscape. With the exception of two or three buildings, there was open space as far as she could see in all directions, and there was mud everywhere. The woman sat down on her suitcase and cried. The immigrants kept coming, and despite the challenges, the resilient farmers worked hard and proved that the heavy adobe soil made excellent rice land. The community began to grow, and by 1913 there were not only a church and school, but a hotel, grocery store, and hardware store. The strong and hardy men and women who settled in Richvale during the early years built a community that thrives today, nearly one hundred years later. The dedication and perseverance of these pioneers is narrated by members of the Richvale Writing Group, many of whom were born and raised in the community and who were personally acquainted with Richvales founders. The group began work on this book in 2001, with the goal of creating a vivid and detailed portrayal of the lives and experiences of Richvale settlers. For more than five years, the group has met regularly to discuss their progress and to present ideas regarding the collaborative project. Dennis Lindberg, Richvale native and longtime rice farmer, has facilitated the meetings. Teresa Ward, Butte College developmental writing instructor, has served in an advisory capacity to the group.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bytown's early years - as military outpost and lumber town - did not presage greatness. Yet this rough little town (renamed Ottawa in 1855) did not remain insignificant, for geography and politics soon combined to place it at centrestage as Canada's national capital. Ottawa's fascinating story is recounted with skill and wit in John H. Taylor's Ottawa: An Illustrated History. Taylor tells this story in all its variations - the life of the French and the English, the poor and the rich; the politics of city hall and Parliament Hill; the social lives of Ottawans. Crisp and colourful, Ottawa: An Illustrated History focuses on the history of the city's relationship with its landlord - the federal government - but it also does more. It weaves together, for the first time, all the complex strands that over the years have shaped Ottawa's identity. Ottawa: An Illustrated History is handsomely illustrated by 150 historical photographs and by a dozen original maps depicting the city's geographical evolution.
