Place signs (27 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Local Signs and Wonders is an essay collection describing how attachment to a family homestead creates a sense of wellbeing, fulfillment, and belonging. Richard Rankin lives on family property settled in the mid 1760s and farmed until the 1970s. The Rankin home place sits in a shrinking countryside about twenty miles west of fast-growing Charlotte, North Carolina. The desire to belong to a place grows out of a deep yearning to feel at home in the world and to find a particular location where that feeling is best satisfied. Individual essays treat diverse local topics including the disappearance of family farms, complicated racial history, soil conservation, physical labor as recreation, the influence of a great tree, chicken fighting, folk history, folk healing, the disappearance of bobwhite quail, black bear restoration, and exemplary outdoorsmen. As a whole, the pieces reveal how a settled inhabitant's personal identity grows from a local landscape and its history and culture. How the Creator invites the settler to join an ongoing partnership to re-create and steward a beloved place and its creatures. And how this creative process leads to a greater appreciation of local things and people. With local farming gone, suburban development exploding, and the planet warming, several essays focus on land stewardship and conservation as a remedy. Despite rural decline and environmental peril, these essays show how staying on family land benefits personal wholeness, rich relationships with family, neighbors and wildlife, and service to creation.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the mountains, every road leads back to the same nightmare.Human remains discovered near an abandoned Forest Service compound finally connect decades of disappearances along California's most isolated highways. Cold-case investigator Leah Serrano believes the compound was once used to monitor travelers, but official maps show that it never existed.As Leah's team moves deeper into the wilderness, road signs change overnight, emergency broadcasts issue false evacuation orders, and every route out returns them to the same deserted junction. Someone has turned the mountain corridor into a trap, and the investigators have been deliberately guided into its center.To uncover the truth, Leah must reconstruct the final journeys of the missing and expose the people who transformed public roads into a secret hunting ground. But the closer she comes to the compound, the clearer the warning becomes: The signs were never meant to help travelers escape.They were designed to decide who disappeared.DON'T FOLLOW THE SIGNS is the terrifying final installment in THE LOST ROAD CASES, a fast-paced police procedural horror series filled with cold cases, isolated highways, forensic investigation, and a conspiracy hidden deep within the American wilderness.…

Kartoniert / Broschiert. Zustand: New. Although we may not think we notice them, storefronts and their signage are meaningful, and the impact they have on people is significant. What the Signs Say argues that the public language of storefronts is a key component to the creation of the place know.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Although we may not think we notice them, storefronts and their signage are meaningful, and the impact they have on people is significant. What the Signs Say argues that the public language of storefronts is a key component to the creation of the place known as Brooklyn, New York. Using a sample of more than two thousand storefronts and over a decade of ethnographic observation and interviews, the study charts two very different types of local Brooklyn retail signage. The unique and consistent features of many words, large lettering, and repetition that make up Old School signage both mark and produce an inclusive and open place. In contrast, the linguistic elements of New School signage, such as brevity and wordplay, signal not only the arrival of gentrification, but also the remaking of Brooklyn as distinctive and exclusive. Shonna Trinch and Edward Snajdr, a sociolinguist and an anthropologist respectively, show how the beliefs and ideas that people take as truths about language and its speakers are deployed in these different sign types. They also present in-depth ethnographic case studies that reveal how gentrification and corporate redevelopment in Brooklyn are intimately connected to public communication, literacy practices, the transformation of motherhood and gender roles, notions of historical preservation, urban planning, and systems of privilege. Far from peripheral or irrelevant, shop signs say loud and clear that language displayed in public always matters. This book is the recipient of the 2021 Norman L. and Roselea J. Goldberg Prize from Vanderbilt University Press for the best book in the area of art or medicine.…
