A Review of Local Government Revenue Data in California

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Many policymakers and analysts throughout the state have hesitated to use the State Controller`s data on local public revenues, citing three assumptions about their quality: They do not capture all public entities in the state, they do no accurately reflect the fiscal activity of those they do capture, and they are not produced in a timely manner. The authors compare the revenues reported by more than 6,500 entities in the state with the State Controllers annual report. Although they find that the data are basically sound, the authors offer a number of recommendations for increasing the timeliness, comprehensiveness, and accuracy of the information, thereby making it more useful to both the policy and research communities.

A Revisionist History of Tort Law: From Holmesian Realism to Neoclassical Rationalism

2005 y.
Publisher: Carolina Academic Press
Description: `A Revisionist History of Tort Law` explodes the myths of modern tort historiography. It challenges both the methodology and the conclusions of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., America`s first and most influential tort historian. It contends that Holmes` jurisprudence corrupted his view of history, and that his historiography corrupted the outlook of his successors. Yet Revisionist History offers much more than simple deconstruction. It identifies the principles for historical analysis and uses those principles to propose a revolutionary new history of tort law. As a social science, history requires deep, comprehensive and unbiased investigation. Thus, Revisionist History does not trace the development of any specific tort doctrine. Rather, it uncovers the political, philosophical, social, and moral influences which gave the law its life. Moreover, this book does not simply reinterpret the law`s primary sources. Instead, it marshals a vast array of secondary authorities which place… [detailed...]

A Revolution Down on the Farm: The Transformation of American Agriculture since 1929 (None)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Agriculture is the most fundamental of all human activities. Today, those who till the soil or tend livestock feed a world population of approximately 6.5 billion. Fifty years ago, the planet could not have sustained such a large population, and according to present projections, farmers will have to feed nine billion people by 2050. The greatest agricultural revolution in history has occurred in the last fifty years , with farmers in the United States leading the way. America’s declining number of farms, however, comes as a surprise to many and may have dramatic implications. Paul K. Conkin’s A Revolution Down on the Farm: The Transformation of American Agriculture since 1929 charts the profound changes in farming that have occurred during his lifetime. Conkin’s personal experience growing up on a small Tennessee farm complements compelling statistical data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Using economic and historical analysis, Conkin assesses the skills, new technologies,… [detailed...]

James McWilliams
A Revolution in Eating: How the Quest for Food Shaped America

2007 y.
Publisher: Columbia University Press
Description: Sugar, pork, beer, corn, cider, scrapple, and hoppin` John all became staples in the diet of colonial America. The ways Americans cultivated and prepared food and the values they attributed to it played an important role in shaping the identity of the newborn nation. In A Revolution in Eating, James E. McWilliams presents a colorful and spirited tour of culinary attitudes, tastes, and techniques throughout colonial America. Confronted by strange new animals, plants, and landscapes, settlers in the colonies and West Indies found new ways to produce food. Integrating their British and European tastes with the demands and bounty of the rugged American environment, early Americans developed a range of regional cuisines. From the kitchen tables of typical Puritan families to Iroquois longhouses in the backcountry and slave kitchens on southern plantations, McWilliams portrays the grand variety and inventiveness that characterized colonial cuisine. As colonial America grew, so did… [detailed...]

A Rip in Heaven : A Memoir of Murder And Its Aftermath

2004 y.
Publisher: NAL Trade
Description: When my parents packed my brother, sister and me into the family van and drove us to Missouri for Spring Break, we brought our entirely imagined city-hardness with us. The hard truth that we were about to learn was that, in fact, we weren`t tough kids at all. Our life in the city had not prepared us for anything. Nothing could prepare us for this. A Rip in Heaven is Jeanine Cummins`s story of a night in April 1991, when her two cousins, Julie and Robin Kerry, and her brother, Tom, were assaulted on the Chain of Rocks Bridge that spans the Mississippi River just outside of St. Louis. When, after a harrowing ordeal, Tom managed to escape the attackers and flag down help, he thought the nightmare would soon be over. He couldn`t have been more wrong. Tom, his sister Jeanine, and their entire family were just at the beginning of a horrific odyssey through the aftermath of a violent crime, a world of shocking betrayal, endless heartbreak, and utter disillusionment. It was a… [detailed...]

A Risk Analysis on the Continuity of the Petroleum Supply Chain: using GIS and Systems Simulation

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Understanding, quantifying, and dealing with supply chain risk in energy sector necessitates the amalgamation of knowledge and techniques from several domains. Some of those domains are critical infrastructure analysis, risk analysis, systems simulation, geographic information systems, and supply chain management. The objective of this study is to develop a framework to explore and quantify risk of disruptions in the U.S. petroleum supply chain caused by natural disasters. The analysis is based on numerical and empirical data collected during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. A semi- continuous simulation model of the petroleum supply chain is designed and implemented. A Geographic Information System (GIS) is employed for better management of spatial data. The Monte Carlo simulation at steady state is run with the inclusion of failure/recovery models for critical infrastructures. Output statistics representing key system performance measures and the status of … [detailed...]

Blaine Harden
A River Lost: The Life and Death of the Columbia

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: After a two-decade absence, Washington Post journalist Blaine Harden returned to his small-town birthplace in the Pacific Northwest to follow the rise and fall of the West`s most thoroughly conquered river. Harden`s hometown, Moses Lake, Washington, could not have existed without massive irrigation schemes. His father, a Depression migrant trained as a welder, helped build dams and later worked at the secret Hanford plutonium plant. Now he and his neighbors, once considered patriots, stand accused of killing the river. As Blaine Harden traveled the Columbia--by barge, car, and sometimes on foot--his past seemed both foreign and familiar. A personal narrative of rediscovery joined a narrative of exploitation: of Native Americans, of endangered salmon, of nuclear waste, and of a once-wild river now tamed to puddled remains. Part history, part memoir, part lament, `this is a brave and precise book,` according to the New York Times Book Review. `It must not have been easy for Blaine… [detailed...]

A River Running West: The Life of John Wesley Powell

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: If the word `hero` still belonged in the historian`s lexicon, it would certainly be applied to John Wesley Powell. Intrepid explorer, careful scientist, talented writer, and dedicated conservationist, Powell led the expedition that put the Colorado Riveron American maps and revealed the Grand Canyon to the world. Now comes the first biography of this towering figure in almost fifty years--a book that captures his life in all its heroism, idealism, and ambivalent, ambiguous humanity. In A River Running West, Donald Worster, one of our leading Western historians, tells the story of Powell`s great adventures and describes his historical significance with compelling clarity and skill. Worster paints a vivid portrait of how this man emerged from the early nineteenth-century world of immigrants, fervent religion, and rough-and-tumble rural culture, and barely survived the Civil War battle at Shiloh. The heart of Worster`s biography is Powell`s epic journey down the Colorado in 1869, a tale… [detailed...]

A Road-Map for America : Poems

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe poems in A Road-Map for America record an immigrant`s experience of recent events from 9/11 to the war in Iraq. They attempt to culturally interrogate our recent history and to provide a set of ideas (through poetry) for re-thinking America`s role in the world today-to provide, as the title suggests, a road-map for America. In doing so, the collection provides a counterpoint to contemporary political and media discourse. Taken together, the poems present ideas about media coverage, political accountability, global humanism, personal agency and ecological responsibility while providing a sustained critique of nationalist politics, corporatization and contemporary media practices. The poems follow the order in which they were written (with a few exceptions). [detailed...]

Description: This publication catalogues and explores the latest sculptural installation by Robert Gober, one of contemporary art`s most highly regarded figures and one of our best storytellers. Unlike anything that has been seen before, this new work explores questions of sexuality, religion, relationships, nature, and memory, all informed by the current political climate. Loosely following the floor plan of a church, the installation brings together many of Gober`s known sculptural motifs and introduces new ones as he continues into uncharted artistic territory. The first of the two volumes includes a comprehensive essay by Brenda Richardson written over the course of the two years of the installation`s development. Richardson spent hours in the studio in conversation with Gober, and her Lexicon provides an unprecedented glimpse at the working process and multiple layers of meaning in Gober`s complex work. The lavishly illustrated second volume reproduces 50 full-color photographs of the… [detailed...]

A Rocky Road: The Irish Economy Since Independence

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Most Irish historians agree that the southern Irish economy performed very badly between the 1920 and the early 1960s, indeed output and incomes had grown so little in those decades that the economic benefits of political independence were far from obvious. There is less consensus about economic performance since then, though the ability of the South to sustain a significant population increase for the first time since the Great Famine may reflect relative success. This volume critically re-examinesthe claims and counter-claims using new data and adopting a comparative perspective, pro-viding a comprehensive narrative for an Irish as well as a wider audience. Assuming only a basic understanding of economic and statistical theory, the volume has been written mainly with an undergraduate audience in mind. However, in its use of new archival evidence in the analysis of policy-making it will also appeal to political scientists and historians. [detailed...]

A Room in California

2005 y.
Publisher: Northwestern University Press
Description: Southern California is one of two significant places in Laurence Goldstein`s fourth collection of poems. A native of Los Angeles, the author re-encounters the vivid ghosts of an exotic personal landscape: Criswell the TV prophet, Madame Nhu at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, Mickey Cohen in a downtown deli, Bob Hope in a photo shoot with the poet`s family. From the Pacific boardwalk to Death Valley, these poems enliven their borderlands with pungent language and dramatic incident. Goldstein then takes the reader to Ethiopia, the setting of a long dramatic monologue narrated by a young American woman seeking the reincarnation of the medieval Christian potentate Prester John, for help in the apocalyptic wars of the twenty-first century. His most ambitious book to date, the subjects in this collection range from the aging pear tree and the domestic living room, to Nordic witches and Nazi demons. Some poems are in fixed forms including the villanelle `Rock Star,` the sonnet… [detailed...]
