Download or read book Missouri written by and published by Missouri History Museum. This book was released on 1998 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once considered a "foolish boondoggle" of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration, the Federal Writers' Project was initiated to allow employment opportunity to those associated with the arts during the Great Depression. The American Guide Series became the most successful venture, offering jobs to writers nationwide as each state endeavored to produce a comprehensive guidebook. Under the direction of Charles van Ravenswaay, former director of the Missouri Historical Society, Missouri: A Guide to the "Show Me" State was first published in 1941. Now, in a classic reprint, Missouri Historical Society Press restores this guidebook to its original splendor and returns it to the bookshelves. With a current road map included with the book, travelers can compare sights and tours described in the antiquated guide and see how they have developed or disappeared. As Walter A. Schroeder and Howard W. Marshall describe in the updated introduction, "The `unmarked, dirt road, impassable when wet, ' that we encounter in reading the WPA guide is no longer a hurdle to be negotiated in order to reach an out-of-the-way site." Due to nearly thirty thousand additional miles of paved roadway and endless gas station and motel chains, every corner of Missouri is now easily accessible. And, as Missouri Historical Society President Robert R. Archibald states in the foreword, "If you are the kind of traveler who has no intention of stirring from a comfortable chair near the reading lamp, this reprint is really all the equipment you require for a fascinating journey through the Missouri of the past."

Book Synopsis Folklore, Culture, and Aging by : David P. Shuldiner
Download or read book Folklore, Culture, and Aging written by David P. Shuldiner and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1997-04-16 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A resource guide by and about elders and the process of aging, this volume provides a list of over 1,500 references, all annotated, covering a wide range of subject areas. It is organized under such topics as Customs and Beliefs, Narratives, Traditional Arts, Health and Healing, and Applied Folklore, and is further divided into regional and topical subheadings. It also features works on methods and concepts in field research in folklore, oral history, and community studies, a chapter on general works from other fields of interest, as well as a chapter on films. The introduction offers not only a description of the nature and role of elders as creators and carriers of culture, but also a challenge to readers—reflected in the broad range of materials cited—defying both narrow conceptions of aging and the aged, and limited notions about the full scope of expressive culture addressed by folklore studies.
Download or read book Self-made Worlds written by Roger Manley and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scattered across the globe are remarkable individuals variously called "outsiders," "obsessive visionaries," or "folk artists." These unique individuals and the environments they create are celebrated in "Self-Made Worlds." The works depicted in "Self-Made Worlds"--some presented for the first time--challenge long-standing ideas about what art is. From "Le Palais Id al," built in a small French village by the mailman Cheval, to the "Hubcap Ranch" by Litto Damonte of California, to Nek Chand's hundreds of human and animal sculptures made from waste and recycled materials and set in a massive landscaped rock garden in Northwest India, "Self-Made Worlds" is an international tour of some of the most remarkable manifestations of the idiosyncratic, eccentric glory of the human imagination.
