Book Synopsis Barns of the Midwest by : Allen G. Noble
Download or read book Barns of the Midwest written by Allen G. Noble and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1995, Barns of the Midwest is a masterful example of material cultural history. It arrived at a critical moment for the agricultural landscape. The 1980s were marked by farm foreclosures, rural bank failures, the continued rise of industrialized agriculture, and severe floods and droughts. These waves of disaster hastened the erosion of the idea of a pastoral Heartland knit together with small farms and rural values. And it wasn’t just an idea that was eroded; material artifacts such as the iconic Midwestern barn were also rapidly wearing away. It was against this background that editors Noble and Wilhelm gathered noted experts in history and architecture to write on the nature and meaning of Midwestern barns, explaining why certain barns were built as they were, what types of barns appeared where, and what their functions were. Featuring a new introduction by Timothy G. Anderson, Barns of the Midwest is the definitive work on this ubiquitous but little studied architectural symbol of a region and its history.
Download or read book Hand Raised written by Chere Jiusto and published by Montana Historical Society. This book was released on 2011 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the hayloft, stalls, and hardware of a Montana barn and you will learn much about the state’s farm and ranch traditions. Crib barns, with walls of timber stacked like Lincoln logs, show the influence of French-Canadian and Scandinavian immigrants. Gambrel-roofed barns, which shed heavy snowfall and provide roomy haylofts, tell of the long Montana winters that necessitated ample hay storage. Tack rooms, once filled with harnesses and gear, tell of workhorses given shelter in heavy-duty stalls nearby. Beyond their utilitarian functions, barns are simply beautiful. Some stand proudly, their freshly painted red lines contrasting sharply with the golden wheat in surrounding fields. But some, less fortunate, are falling into disrepair. Marked by rotting timbers and broken windowpanes, these crumbling buildings still have much to teach us. Historic Barns of Montana presents the best, most unique, most significant, and most beautiful of these barns. Photographer Tom Ferris explored barns inside and out across Montana, snapping the hundreds of photographs in the book. Authors and architectural historians Chere Jiusto and Christine Brown help readers understand the significance of what they are looking at and tell the stories of individual barns. Historic Barns of Montana recognizes these buildings as both useful and beautiful, encourages their preservation, and honors the ranch and farm families that built them.
Book Synopsis The Invention of Murder by : Judith Flanders
Download or read book The Invention of Murder written by Judith Flanders and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2013-07-23 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Superb... Flanders's convincing and smart synthesis of the evolution of an official police force, fictional detectives, and real-life cause célèbres will appeal to devotees of true crime and detective fiction alike." -Publishers Weekly, starred review In this fascinating exploration of murder in nineteenth century England, Judith Flanders examines some of the most gripping cases that captivated the Victorians and gave rise to the first detective fiction Murder in the nineteenth century was rare. But murder as sensation and entertainment became ubiquitous, with cold-blooded killings transformed into novels, broadsides, ballads, opera, and melodrama-even into puppet shows and performing dog-acts. Detective fiction and the new police force developed in parallel, each imitating the other-the founders of Scotland Yard gave rise to Dickens's Inspector Bucket, the first fictional police detective, who in turn influenced Sherlock Holmes and, ultimately, even P.D. James and Patricia Cornwell. In this meticulously researched and engrossing book, Judith Flanders retells the gruesome stories of many different types of murder in Great Britain, both famous and obscure: from Greenacre, who transported his dismembered fiancée around town by omnibus, to Burke and Hare's bodysnatching business in Edinburgh; from the crimes (and myths) of Sweeney Todd and Jack the Ripper, to the tragedy of the murdered Marr family in London's East End. Through these stories of murder-from the brutal to the pathetic-Flanders builds a rich and multi-faceted portrait of Victorian society in Great Britain. With an irresistible cast of swindlers, forgers, and poisoners, the mad, the bad and the utterly dangerous, The Invention of Murder is both a mesmerizing tale of crime and punishment, and history at its most readable.

Taken captive by the warriors and grieving for the family members just killed, Jacob finds his beliefs about love and nonresistance severely tested. Jacob endures a hard winter as a prisoner in an Indian longhouse. Meanwhile, some members of his congregation—the first Amish settlement in America—move away for fear of further attacks. Based on actual events, Jacob's Choice describes how one man's commitment to pacifism leads to a season of captivity, a complicated romance, an unrelenting search for missing family members, and an astounding act of forgiveness and reconciliation.

Download or read book Miss Judith's Girls written by Robin Bond and published by Pink Flamingo Media. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judith is a senior at St Swithin’s college for girls. Under the supervision of her dominant, charismatic personality, suitable younger students are trained to service the sexual needs of older women in the town. Miss Judith, as she is known, imposes strict standards of dress and behaviour, with severe punishments for infractions, and is dedicated to producing a cadre of sexually skilled submissive girls, catering to a range of lesbian tastes. Miss Judith’s collaborator is Felicity, and together they take in hand a new girl, Hannah. Initially she is naïve and uncertain of her sexuality, but eventually she becomes one of Miss Judith’s star performers, greatly in demand by the clientele. Hannah is especially valued for her willingness to submit to those ladies who require girls of a masochistic temperament, who will submit to spanking and other harsh treatment. To amuse herself, Miss Judith embarks on a project to turn the heterosexual German teacher, Frau Ledermann, in to a lesbian. She imposed on her a series of humiliations and tests of her obedience. Miss Judith has a rival, a lady named Mrs Lockhart, who also trains young girls, mostly from the town, to provide services to older women in the locality. Things come to a head when Mrs Lockhart accuses Miss Judith of poaching her girls. Judith senses that the woman, while appearing as a Domme, has a submissive side, and she is able to humiliate and bend Mrs Lockhart to her will, forcing her to work as her assistant. Gradually Miss Judith involves Hannah more and more in the disciplining and training of the other girls. Eventually, Judith and Felicity offer Hannah the chance to take over the principal role, after she demonstrates her suitability by bringing to heel a particularly recalcitrant girl. Hannah has successfully made the transition from a submissive to a dominant position.

Book Synopsis To Be Sung Underwater by : Tom McNeal
Download or read book To Be Sung Underwater written by Tom McNeal and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judith Whitman always believed in the kind of love that "picks you up in Akron and sets you down in Rio." Long ago, she once experienced that love. Willy Blunt was a carpenter with a dry wit and a steadfast sense of honor. Marrying him seemed like a natural thing to promise. But Willy Blunt was not a person you could pick up in Nebraska and transport to Stanford. When Judith left home, she didn't look back. Twenty years later, Judith's marriage is hazy with secrets. In her hand is what may be the phone number for the man who believed she meant it when she said she loved him. If she called, what would he say? To Be Sung Underwater is the epic love story of a woman trying to remember, and the man who could not even begin to forget.

Download or read book James Stewart written by Donald Dewey and published by Sphere. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this penetrating and riveting biography of one of Hollywood's most beloved screen icons, Donald Dewey probes beneath Jimmy Stewart, the conservative image and ideal, to reveal James Stewart, the actor and the man. Through hundreds of interviews and in-depth analysis of his seventy-five films, the author assesses how the Hollywood man-about-town of the 1930's and 40's - Stewart's lovers included Ginger Rogers, Olivia de Havilland and Marlene Dietrich - became the epitome of American family values who remained married for forty-five years; and how the studio-bred, effervescent star of It's a Wonderful Life developed into the brilliant actor whose performances in films such as Vertigo and Shenandoah exposed a vulnerability unseen in his personal relationships. With many insights into the turmoil of his private life, the artistry behind his cinematic craft and his heroic military record in the Second World War, Dewey gives us much more than a legend to love.
