Let Us Now Praise Famous Gullies
Author: Paul S. Sutter
Publisher: University of Georgia Press
ISBN: 0820334014
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Providence Canyon State Park, also known as Georgia’s “Little Grand Canyon,” preserves a network of massive erosion gullies allegedly caused by poor farming practices during the nineteenth century. It is a park that protects the scenic results of an environmental disaster. While little known today, Providence Canyon enjoyed a modicum of fame in the 1930s. During that decade, local boosters attempted to have Providence Canyon protected as a national park, insisting that it was natural. At the same time, national and international soil experts and other environmental reformers used Providence Canyon as the apotheosis of human, and particularly southern, land abuse. Let Us Now Praise Famous Gullies uses the unlikely story of Providence Canyon—and the 1930s contest over its origins and meaning—to recount the larger history of dramatic human-induced soil erosion across the South and to highlight the role that the region and its erosive agricultural history played in the rise of soil science and soil conservation in America. More than that, though, the book is a meditation on the ways in which our persistent mental habit of separating nature from culture has stunted our ability to appreciate places like Providence Canyon and to understand the larger history of American conservation.

Travels of a Wash-Belly Baby
Author: J.R. Dixon-Davidson
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662449127
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
In the years 1920 to 1945, most children were born at home, and family members helped. Women had children in their forties and some even in their fifties without any big problems. When there are several older children and someone, either the midwife or an older family member, prognosticates that this is the wash-belly baby, it means that this baby is the last one, and it usually is. JR got the designation. Travels of a Wash-Belly Baby are unpredictable, adventurous, and exciting. Join JR as she discovers a German hiding in the jungle in El Volcan in 1959 since the end of World War II in 1945; take a trip in a canoe with a Ngobe Indian armed with a knife and his knowledge of the Caribbean Sea; stand with her on a sandbar in the middle of the Caribbean Sea, which is the beginning of another island among the 365 islands that comprise the Archipielago de San Blas where the Guna Indians live; enjoy Peg Leg Bates dancing on his wooden leg in Kerhonkson, New York; fly with her in the helicopter to the peak of Mendenhall Glacier in Alaska; join her in a traditional tea ceremony in Shanghai, China; and in many more fascinating places with captivating people and exuberant environments. The historical hopscotch is the precious missing link that truthfully clarifies and weaves the strands of heritage into the cultural quilt that joins us all as it reveals itself through travel. Join JR next in Travels of a Wash-Belly-Baby 2 as she studies and gallivants through Europe from 1965 to 1966.
