Book Synopsis RVing Slab City, California by : Jack Wiley
Download or read book RVing Slab City, California written by Jack Wiley and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RVING SLAB CITY, CALIFORNIA, is a complete guide to RVing to what is often referred to as the 'Last Free Place." In the United States we have freedom to roam in Recreational Vehicles, which are commonly referred to as RVs, like nowhere else in the world. Though rarely marked on maps, there is a place in California known as Slab City or The Slabs that takes this RVing freedom to the extreme. It is not only free of boondocking (also known as "dry" camping or staying in an RV without hookups) fees, it is also largely free of rules and regulations. Before I had actually been there and boondocked there and experienced it for myself, I could not believe that such a place could exist. Now that I have been there, its existence still seems problematical to me. One of the reasons I keep returning is, I think, to see if it is still there as I remember it to have been. The talk of "developing" it was around long before I first went there, and it continues. It is known as "the last free place," but I have no idea how much longer this will continue. Development will surely mean fees and restrictions, so if you want to experience the off-the-grid free and unrestricted boondocking in your RV, you had better do it now. This book is all about what led me to Slab City, why I keep returning, and what I do while I am there. And more importantly it is about how you can experience Slab City for yourself. This book is intended as a complete guide for RVing Slab City, with history and how Slab City came to be thrown in for good measure. It's also about boondocking in RVs in general and in Slab City in particular. Slab City is off the grid. There are no hookups. If you want to spend time in your RV at Slab City, you boondock. There is no other choice. This book shows how.
Book Synopsis Winnebago Nation by : James B. Twitchell
Download or read book Winnebago Nation written by James B. Twitchell and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Winnebago Nation, popular critic James B. Twitchell takes a light-hearted look at the culture and industry behind the yearning to spend the night in one's car. For the young the roadtrip is a coming-of-age ceremony; for those later in life it is the realization of a lifelong desire to be spontaneous, nomadic, and free. Informed by his own experiences on the road, Twitchell recounts the RV's origins and evolution over the twentieth century; its rise, fall, and rebirth as a cultural icon; its growing mechanical complexity as it evolved from an estate wagon to a converted bus to a mobile home; and its role in bolstering and challenging conceptions of American identity. Mechanical yet dreamy, independent yet needful, solitary yet clubby, adventurous yet homebound, life in a mobile home is a distillation of the American character and an important embodiment of American exceptionalism, (Richie Rich and Hobo Hank spend time in essentially the same rig at the same campground, albeit for different reasons and in different levels of comfort.) The frontier may be tapped out but we still yearn for the exploratory life. Twitchell concludes with his thoughts on the future of RV communities and the possibility of mobile cities becoming a real part of the American landscape.

Download or read book Pacing Mobilities written by Vered Amit and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turning the attention to the temporal as well as the more familiar spatial dimensions of mobility, this volume focuses on the momentum for and temporal composition of mobility, the rate at which people enact or deploy their movements as well as the conditions under which these moves are being marshalled, represented and contested. This is an anthropological exploration of temporality as a form of action, a process of actively modulating or responding to how people are moving rather than the more usual focus in mobility studies on where they are heading.

Book Synopsis Academic Writing - Third Edition by : Janet Giltrow
Download or read book Academic Writing - Third Edition written by Janet Giltrow and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2002-03-21 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Writing is a unique introduction to the subject. As the author puts it in her preface, “this book develops from a strong claim: namely, that style is meaningful.” In developing that theme, the author draws meaningfully on theory, especially genre theory, while remaining grounded in the particular. Giltrow presents and discusses examples of actual academic writing of the sort that students must learn to deal with daily, and to write themselves. As newcomers to the scholarly community, students can find that community’s ways of reading and writing mysterious, unpredictable and intimidating. Academic Writing demystifies the scholarly genres, shedding light on their discursive conventions and on academic readers’ expectations and values. Throughout, Academic Writing respects the student writer; it engages the reader’s interest without ever condescending, and it avoids the arbitrary and the dogmatic. The book also offers abundant exercises to help the student develop techniques for working productively at each stage of the scholarly writing process; mastering and summarizing difficult scholarly sources; planning; and revising to create good working conditions for the reader. The third edition of Giltrow’s extremely successful book incorporates extensive revisions that integrate the theoretical perspectives of genre theory into the whole of the book in a more organic fashion; the changes are designed to make the book both more attuned to scholarly practice and more accessible to the undergraduate student. Giltrow’s Academic Reading is designed as an accompanying reader for Academic Writing.
