Book excerpt: My Uncle Caleb I was just five or six years old. The last memory I have of him at our house was the only time I remember him with two legs. After that, we got news he had been shot by a man he thought was a friend. Shot at close range through his knee and half of his left thigh. Gangrene set in and took a long time to heal. He was in the hospital for quite some time. Dad brought him to our home with one leg and a crutch. He had to carry him across the high river to keep his cast and crutch dry. For the next few years we kids, who were older, helped take care of him. We would take the train to stay with him and Grandma for two or three weeks at a time. We would work the fields and river banks. Uncle couldn't get a job, so he started his own business making fishnets to sell to neighbors and keep himself busy. He would set traps in the winter to capture animals for skins and sell them to a Louisville fur company. Sometimes I would go to the woods with him. Those woods were full of all kinds of fur creatures. Uncle would tell me how he owned land up on the mountain, and one day he was going to cut trees from his property and have a houseboat made from the wood. Many years passed. I lived in Ohio and would take trips to visit my hometown when I could. I had heard Uncle Caleb had built his houseboat, so on one trip, I ventured to find Uncle Caleb's houseboat nestled under the river bridge. Boy, was he surprised when I knocked on his door. We had a wonderful visit--my last one. Later I went to his funeral on the mountain, where the trees that made his home were cut from. I am so glad I got that unplanned wonderful visit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, some of the leading figures in the field have been brought together to write on the roots of the historic preservation movement in the United States, ranging from New York to Santa Fe, Charleston to Chicago. Giving Preservation a History explores the long history of historic preservation: how preservation movements have taken a leading role in shaping American urban space and development; how historic preservation battles have reflected broader social forces; and what the changing nature of historic preservation means for efforts to preserve national, urban, and local heritage. The second edition adds several new essays addressing key developing areas in the field by major new voices. The new essays represent the broadening range of scholarship on historic preservation generated since the publication of the first edition, taking better account of the role of cultural diversity and difference within the field while exploring the connections between preservation and allied concerns such as environmental sustainability, LGBTQ and nonwhite identity, and economic development.

Download or read book The Conservation Movement: A History of Architectural Preservation written by Miles Glendinning and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-17 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2016 Antoinette Forrester Downing Award presented by the Society of Architectural Historians. In many cities across the world, particularly in Europe, old buildings form a prominent part of the built environment, and we often take it for granted that their contribution is intrinsically positive. How has that widely-shared belief come about, and is its continued general acceptance inevitable? Certainly, ancient structures have long been treated with care and reverence in many societies, including classical Rome and Greece. But only in modern Europe and America, in the last two centuries, has this care been elaborated and energised into a forceful, dynamic ideology: a ‘Conservation Movement’, infused with a sense of historical destiny and loss, that paradoxically shared many of the characteristics of Enlightenment modernity. The close inter-relationship between conservation and modern civilisation was most dramatically heightened in periods of war or social upheaval, beginning with the French Revolution, and rising to a tragic climax in the 20th-century age of totalitarian extremism; more recently the troubled relationship of ‘heritage’ and global commercialism has become dominant. Miles Glendinning’s new book authoritatively presents, for the first time, the entire history of this architectural Conservation Movement, and traces its dramatic fluctuations in ideas and popularity, ending by questioning whether its recent international ascendancy can last indefinitely.

Download or read book Preserving Dance Across Time and Space written by Lynn Matluck Brooks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dance is the art least susceptible to preservation since its embodied, kinaesthetic nature has proven difficult to capture in notation and even in still or moving images. However, frameworks have been established and guidance made available for keeping dances, performances, and choreographers’ legacies alive so that the dancers of today and tomorrow can experience and learn from the dances and dancers of the past. In this volume, a range of voices address the issue of dance preservation through memory, artistic choice, interpretation, imagery and notation, as well as looking at relevant archives, legal structures, documentation and artefacts. The intertwining of dance preservation and creativity is a core theme discussed throughout this text, pointing to the essential continuity of dance history and dance innovation. The demands of preservation stretch across time, geographies, institutions and interpersonal connections, and this book focuses on the fascinating web that supports the fragile yet urgent effort to sustain our dancing heritage. The articles in this book were originally published in the journal Dance Chronicle: Studies in Dance and the Related Arts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a kingdom ruled by ancient prophecies and hidden legacies, a forgotten lineage awakens to restore the balance between light and darkness. "The Forgotten Oracle: A Tale of Prophecy and Destiny" invites readers into the enchanting world of Eldoria, where the past and present collide, and the future hinges on the bravery of a young woman and the forgotten wisdom she must reclaim. Elara, a seemingly ordinary young woman from the quiet village of Nareth, has her life irrevocably changed when she begins to experience vivid, unsettling visions. These visions reveal a hidden truth: Elara is the last living descendant of the Oracles, an ancient order of seers who once guided Eldoria with their prophetic insights. As she delves deeper into her family's mysterious past, Elara uncovers a journal belonging to her mother, Lyanna, a powerful Oracle who foresaw a great upheaval and hid her knowledge to protect her daughter. Eldoria is a land steeped in magic and mystery, where ancient rituals and forgotten gods linger in the shadows. The kingdom's balance of power is precariously maintained by the prophecies of the Oracles, and as Elara unlocks the secrets of her heritage, she learns of a dire prophecy foretelling the rise of a malevolent force known as the "Shadow." This entity seeks to rewrite destiny itself, plunging the kingdom into chaos and darkness. The prophecy also speaks of a "Guardian of Light," a figure destined to stand against the Shadow and restore balance. Elara must embrace her newfound abilities and take on the mantle of the Guardian to prevent the impending disaster. Elara's journey is one of self-discovery and courage, filled with trials and tribulations that test her resolve. Alongside her loyal companions—Kael, her steadfast friend and protector; Prince Alden, the enigmatic heir to the throne; Lady Isolde, a wise and experienced mentor; and Arion, a mysterious mage with crucial knowledge—Elara navigates the treacherous waters of court intrigue, political alliances, and magical dangers. Each ally brings unique strengths and perspectives, contributing to the rich tapestry of the narrative and the overarching theme of unity in the face of darkness. The richly imagined world of Eldoria provides a captivating backdrop for Elara's quest. From the tranquil village of Nareth to the bustling capital city and the eerie, enchanted forests, each location is imbued with history and magic. The ancient temples, hidden groves, and mystical artifacts that Elara encounters are not merely settings but integral elements of the plot, each holding secrets that propel her journey forward. At its heart, "The Forgotten Oracle" is a story of hope and resilience. It explores timeless themes of fate, free will, and the nature of power, delving into the complexities of leadership and the weight of legacy. Elara's journey is not just a battle against external forces but an internal struggle to accept her identity and the responsibilities that come with it. Her story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the enduring light that shines within each of us, even in the darkest of times. "The Forgotten Oracle: A Tale of Prophecy and Destiny" is a spellbinding adventure that will captivate readers from the first page to the last. With its compelling characters, intricate plot, and richly detailed world, it is a must-read for fans of epic fantasy and tales of heroism and self-discovery. Join Elara on her journey to uncover the truth, embrace her destiny, and save Eldoria from the encroaching darkness. The fate of the kingdom rests in her hands, and the legacy of the Oracles will never be forgotten.
