Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Highlands of Scotland, like the southern Appalachians of the United States, have long been a problem area in Great Britain, troubled with a fading economy and loss of population. Most books about the region, however, are popular volumes that romanticize a bygone way of life. This study of Ford, a village of some 160 people in western Argyllshire, thus fills a gap in the literature and provides a look at the present realities of Scottish life.Although the Highlands are by no means a homogeneous region, Ford in its size and makeup is perhaps a representative rural settlement. John Stephenson, who conducted extensive interviews in the village during 1981, focuses his study on the theme of survival, on whether this particular village shows signs of enduring as a community of people bound together by common interests and situations. Though necessarily tentative, his conclusions are optimistic. Ford has shown a recent increase in population, consisting almost entirely of newcomers, and though its residents have now a more varied background, they seem to have a sense of place, of belonging to the village.This book will provide new insights not only for those interested in life in the Highlands but also for all those interested in small communities in other parts of the world.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In The Southern Appalachian Region: A Survey, published by the University Press of Kentucky in 1962, Rupert Vance suggested a decennial review of the region's progress. No systematic study comparable to that made at the beginning of the decade is available to answer the question of how far Appalachia has come since then, but David S. Walls and John B. Stephenson have assembled a broad range of firsthand reports which together convey the story of Appalachia in the sixties. These observations of journalists, field workers, local residents, and social scientists have been gathered from a variety of sources ranging from national magazines to county weeklies.Focusing mainly on the coalfields of West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, southwestern Virginia, and north-central Tennessee, the editors first present selections that reflect the 'rediscovery' of the region as a problem area in the early sixties and describe the federal programs designed to rehabilitate it and their results. Other sections focus on the politics of the coal industry, the extent and impact of the continued migration from the region, and the persistence of human suffering and environmental devastation. A final section moves into the 1970s with proposals for the future. Although they conclude that there is little ground for claiming success in solving the region's problems, the editors find signs of hope in the scattered movements toward grass-roots organization described by some of the contributors, and in the new tendency to define solutions in terms of reconstruction rather than amelioration.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. This volume showcases recent geological, geophysical and geochemical research on the Carboniferous Bowland Shale Formation. The volume focuses on the key Carboniferous basins in the Midlands, northern England and North Wales. The Bowland Shale is perhaps the most controversial black shale unit in the UK. In the mid-2000s, attention turned to the Bowland Shale as a target for unconventional hydrocarbon exploration in the UK following success in the USA. This placed the Bowland Shale at the centre of a series of interconnected controversies and debates from the local to national scale. The geological credibility of the purported shale gas resource in the UK was and continues to be highly contentious. This volume contributes to a more updated view of the Bowland Shale, covering topics such as sedimentary, geochemical and physical properties and processes, basin-forming events, hydrocarbon prospectivity, mineralization and heat and fluid flow in the subsurface. The volume also includes a field guide to some of the key localities in the UK.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Political Miscellanies, compiled by William B. Giles Copyright page dated 54th year of Independence (1830) A collection of 56 speeches, letters, and pieces of legislation, most of them written or spoken by William Giles. There is no proper title page, nor does it appear that there ever was one. Copyright information appears on the back of a title but there is no publication information on the title page. Several of the individual pieces have their own title pages. The first collected piece,"Mr. Clay's Speesh upon the Tariff Mr. Giles Speech upon the Resolutions of Inquiry in the House of Delegates of Virginia" has a Richmond; Thomas W. White; 1827 title page. There is a table of contents, but pagination is all over the place. The first half of the collection is numbered properly, to page 188. Then most of the rest of the pieces are paginated individually. There are more than 500 pages in all. Contains several pieces of argument with Mr. Adams over the Embargo Act & a letter to Gen. Lafayette on slavery, in addition to much more relating more locally to Virginia. Bound in full leather which has been professionally rebacked. New leather on the spine is a perfect match for original, with original title label laid down. Hinged reinforces on the inside. This is a flawless repair; I am a binder myself & I'm much impressed by this. Inscribed on the 'title' page, "Presented to Doctor Lewis W. Chamberlayne by his friend Wm. B. Giles." At the bottom of the same page is another inscription, "Presented to Churchill Gibson Chamberlayne by John Stephenson. Warm Springs, VA. Sept 9/89." On the front endpaper are 2 more inscriptions. "Lewis W. Chamberlaybe. Richmond, Virginia," and "Churchill Gibson Chamberlayne, Richmond, VA." Done two generations apart. William B. Giles was a prominent Virginia statesman; He served as Governor, Senator, and member of the House of Delegates during the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Lewis Chamberlayne was a Richmond doctor. Churchill Gibson Chamberlayne was his grandson, a prominent writer and educator. John Stephenson (middle initial unclear in the inscription) is likely the son of John W. Stephenson, a Richmond native who traveled west, eventually becoming Governor of Kentucky. Gov. Stephenson died in 1888, but he had a son named John W., who may well have known the Chamberlayne family. Please email with questions or to request photos. Signed by Author(s).…
