  Too Good to Be Altogether Lost -...

  Pamela Smith Hill

  • 0

  Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the well-known Little House series, wrote stories from her childhood because they were "too good to be altogether lost." With the release of NBC's Little House on the Prairie series in 1974, Wilder was well on her way to becoming an international literary superstar. Simultaneously, however, the novels themselves began to slip from view, replaced by an onslaught of assumptions and questions about Wilder's values and politics and even about the books' authenticity. From the 1980s, a slow but steady critical crescendo began to erode Wilder's literary reputation. 
   
   
   
  In Too Good to Be Altogether Lost, Wilder expert Pamela Smith Hill dives back into the Little House books, closely examining Wilder's text, her characters, and their stories. Hill reveals that these gritty, emotionally complex novels depict a realistic coming of age for a girl in the American West. This realism in Wilder's novels, once perceived as a fatal flaw, can lead to essential discussions not only about the past but about the present—and the underlying racism young people encounter when reading today. Hill's fresh approach to Wilder's books shows how this author forever changed the literary landscape of children's and young adult literature in ways that remain vital and relevant today.

  The Gold Rush - Wealth and...

  In the early months of 1848, the world changed when James W. Marshall, a carpenter working at John Sutter’s mill in Coloma, California, made an accidental discovery that would set the stage for one of the most significant migrations in history. While overseeing the construction of a sawmill along the American River, Marshall noticed something unusual shining in the water. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was gold. This seemingly small find would ignite a chain reaction that would draw thousands of people from all over the world to California in search of wealth. 
  Marshall initially tried to keep the discovery a secret, as he knew the potential chaos it could cause. However, the lure of gold proved irresistible, and by the end of the year, word had spread. The news reached San Francisco, then a small but bustling port city, where rumors swirled about the newfound riches in the Sierra Nevada foothills. As the news continued to spread across the United States and beyond, the idea of striking it rich in California captured the imagination of many. 
  The first wave of miners, known as the "forty-niners," began their journey west in 1849, despite the challenges and hardships that lay ahead. They traveled overland on difficult wagon trains, braving rough terrain, sickness, and the constant threat of hunger and exhaustion. For those who could afford it, ships offered a quicker, though no less perilous, route around South America to the West Coast. The gold rush had begun, and California would never be the same.

  Food - Second Edition

  In Food, John Coveney examines "food as . . . " identity, politics, industry, regulation, the environment, justice, and gastronomy. He explores how food helps us understand what it means to be human. 
   
   
   
  The centrality of food in life, and the importance of food as life, is undeniable. As a source of biological substrates, personal pleasure, and political power, food is and has been an enduring requirement of human biological, social, and cultural existence. Interest in food has increased across the academic, public, and popular spheres, fueled by popular media's constant play on the role of food and body size, and food and cooking, as a mass spectacle for TV audiences. Through food, we construct our social identities, our families and communities. However, Coveney also highlights the tensions between the industrialization of food, the environment, and the iniquitous distribution of food. He also considers how the food industries, on which most of us must rely, have also had direct effects on our bodies through diet, and the development of illness and diseases. 
   
   
   
  This accessible primer is for students and general listeners alike, indeed, for anyone with an interest in food. It questions the idea that food is merely something inert on the plate. Instead, it shows how influential, symbolic, powerful, and transformative food has come to be.
