Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queer history is a living practice. Talk to any group of LGBTQ people today, and they will not agree on what story should be told. Many people desire to celebrate the past by erecting plaques and painting rainbow crosswalks, but queer and trans people in the twenty-first century need more than just symbols—they need access to power, justice for marginalized people, spaces of belonging. Approaching the past through a lens of queer and trans survival and world-building transforms history itself into a tool for imagining and realizing a better future. Living Queer History tells the story of an LGBTQ community in Roanoke, Virginia, a small city on the edge of Appalachia. Interweaving &8239;historical analysis, theory, and memoir, Gregory Samantha Rosenthal tells the story of their own journey—coming out and transitioning as a transgender woman—in the midst of working on a community-based history project that documented a multigenerational southern LGBTQ community. Based on over forty interviews with LGBTQ elders, Living Queer History explores how queer people today think about the past and how history lives on in the present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most college and university libraries, materials published before 1800 have been moved into special collections, while the post-1923 books remain in general circulation. But books published between these dates are vulnerable to deaccessioning, as libraries increasingly reconfigure access to public-domain texts via digital repositories such as Google Books. Even libraries with strong commitments to their print collections are clearing out the duplicates, assuming that circulating copies of any given nineteenth-century edition are essentially identical to one another. When you look closely, however, you see that they are not. Many nineteenth-century books were donated by alumni or their families decades ago, and many of them bear traces left behind by the people who first owned and used them. In Book Traces, Andrew M. Stauffer adopts what he calls "guided serendipity" as a tactic in pursuit of two goals: first, to read nineteenth-century poetry through the clues and objects earlier readers left in their books and, second, to defend the value of keeping the physical volumes on the shelves. Finding in such books of poetry the inscriptions, annotations, and insertions made by their original owners, and using them as exemplary case studies, Stauffer shows how the physical, historical book enables a modern reader to encounter poetry through the eyes of someone for whom it was personal.

Download or read book Learned Hand written by Gerald Gunther and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-24 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billings Learned Hand was one of the most influential judges in America. In Learned Hand: The Man and the Judge, Gerald Gunther provides a complete and intimate account of the professional and personal life of Learned Hand. He conveys the substance and range of Hand's judicial and intellectual contributions with eloquence and grace. This second edition features photos of Learned Hand throughout his life and career, and includes a foreword by Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Gunther, a former law clerk for Hand, reviewed much of Hand's published work, opinions, and correspondence. He meticulously describes Hand's cases, and discusses the judge's professional and personal life as interconnected with the political and social circumstances of the times in which he lived. Born in 1872, Hand served on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He clearly crafted and delivered thousands of decisions in a wide range of cases through extensive, conscientious investigation and analysis, while at the same time exercising wisdom and personal detachment. His opinions are still widely quoted today, and will remain as an everlasting tribute to his life and legacy.

Download or read book Bodies of Evidence written by Nan Alamilla Boyd and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-06 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bodies of Evidence: The Practice of Queer Oral History is the first book to provide serious scholarly insight into the methodological practices that shape lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer oral histories. Each chapter pairs an oral history excerpt with an essay in which the oral historian addresses his or her methods and practices. With an afterword by John D'Emilio, this collection enables readers to examine the role memory, desire, sexuality, and gender play in documenting LGBTQ communities and cultures. The historical themes addressed include 1950s and '60s lesbian bar culture; social life after the Cuban revolution; the organization of transvestite social clubs in the U.S. midwest in the 1960s; Australian gay liberation activism in the 1970s; San Francisco electoral politics and the career of Harvey Milk; Asian American community organizing in pre-AIDS Los Angeles; lesbian feminist "sex war" cultural politics; 1980s and '90s Latina/o transgender community memory and activism in San Francisco; and the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The methodological themes include questions of silence, sexual self-disclosure and voyeurism, the intimacy between researcher and narrator, and the social and political commitments negotiated through multiple oral history interviews. The book also examines the production of comparative racial and sexual identities and the relative strengths of same-sexuality, cross-sexuality, and cross-ideology interviewing.

This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from 1853 1903, Semi-Centennial Celebration and Commencement of Roanoke College: June 7 11, 1903 Under the efficient direction of the General Committee of Ar rangements, representing the trustees, faculty, graduates and ex students of the College, the programme arranged for the Semi Centennial Celebration and Commencement was carried out with great success. The exercises throughout were of a high order; the audiences were large and appreciative, and the weather delight fully cool. The excellent music of the voluntary choir, the sing ing of the semi-centennial hymn and song, and the fine performauces of the Salem Band were greatly enjoyed by all. The illu mination of the campus for the promenade concerts was on a more brilliant scale than'usual. Much interest was added to the cele bration by the unusually large number of graduates, ex-students, and visitors in attendance. Enthusiasm seemed to be in the air. It was an inspiring sight to see the long processions marching to stirring strains of music to the Auditorium, many old students and others carrying ags In college colors of blue and yellow, as well as many national ags, all bearing the figures 1853 Almost everyone in the procession - trustees, professors, speakers, old students, the students of this year - wore a badge in college colors, on which were printed semi-centennial, Roanoke Col lege, 1853 A large banner, stretched across College av enue at Main street, bore the inscription semi-centennial Wel come. The front of the Auditorium, in which the exercises were held, the front entrance to the College grounds, the front doors of the chapel and library, the interior of the library, and the entrance to the literary society halls were decorated in college colors and national ags and bunting. A number of places of business were also decorated, and the town seemed to be taking a holiday. Every thing passed off most successfully to the gratification of all friends of the College. As will be seen from the report of the Commence ment the speaking was properly confined largely to Roanoke men; but it was also appropriate to have the addresses from Governor Montague as the Chief Executive of the Commonwealth of Vir ginia; from President Dabney, of the University of Tennesssee, as a representative of higher education in the South; and from the delegates from Virginia univerities and colleges as a manifestation of general fellowship in the cause of higher education in the' old Dominion. The presence and addresses of these gentlemen and their words of congratulation and good-will added greatly to tbe interest and success of Roanoke's Jubilee Celebration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1800, James Simpson, a Botetourt County landowner, purchased 31 acres of land for $100 and dedicated half of the purchase to plotting a new town. The Town of Salem was officially established when Simpson recorded his ownership at Fincastle Courthouse in October 1802, and it later became the government seat when Roanoke County was carved from Botetourt County in 1838. Today, Salem is an independent city, boasting a rich tradition of educational, commercial, and residential success. Roanoke County, like Salem, has emerged from its agrarian past to become a suburban county that embraces the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, as well as the strength and success of corporate centers and residential communities.

Download or read book Golf by the Numbers written by Roland Minton and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do the world’s greatest golfers improve their game? Practice, sure, but Roland Minton says mathematics and statistics are also key to their success. Golf by the Numbers analyzes the mathematical strategies behind the sport, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at how numbers drive the game. Computers, GPS trackers, swing simulators, and high-speed cameras have introduced new and exciting ways of seeing and understanding the complicated and endlessly fascinating game of golf. Players like Phil Mickelson are so good because they review the results of every swing they take. Minton’s comprehensive analysis of statistics taken from the PGA Tour’s ShotLink system walks readers through the mountains of data that pros use to inform and refine their play. The result is an insider’s perspective of how the world’s greatest golfers apply mathematics to the sport. Minton discusses randomness in golf (especially how much luck is involved in putting) as well as aggressive and cautious strategies both on and off the greens, and he explains, by the numbers, just how Tiger Woods was so dominant from 2004 to 2009. Here is a book that tells some truly engaging stories of modern golf, featuring famous players and memorable tournaments, all through the lens of elementary probability theory. Minton’s informal style and clear and direct explanations make even the most detailed discussions accessible to all curious-minded golfers. His mathematical morsels are not only enjoyable to read—they may even help you improve your game.
