Sinopse

In Pennsylvania's anthracite coal region, a once-prosperous industry leaves a legacy of environmental destruction, social strife, and human tragedy. The Schuylkill River's devastating transformation mirrors the tumultuous lives of mining families caught between nature's force and their desperate struggles for wealth. Intersecting stories of miners, magnates, and organized crime reveal a tapestry of ambition and corruption, while ordinary lives, like Martha's and Hermie's, are ensnared by larger forces. Rendered with poignancy, it's a tale of resilience amid the rush for coal-fired prosperity, shedding light on ambition's dark underbelly and humanity's quest for justice in the shadows of industrial decay.

    Obedience, at its core, is the act of aligning one’s actions with a higher authority or divine purpose. It is not merely the submission to rules or commands, but a conscious choice to follow the guidance of a force greater than oneself. In the context of spiritual growth, obedience is deeply intertwined with faith, trust, and surrender. It requires an individual to recognize that there is wisdom beyond their understanding and that, by following divine guidance, they are led to a path of fulfillment and purpose. 
    The true essence of obedience goes beyond blind submission. It is an active decision to place one’s will in alignment with divine will, acknowledging that this alignment leads to a more harmonious and meaningful existence. It calls for humility, as one must be willing to accept that their personal desires, while valid, may not always align with the greater plan. This humility allows individuals to move away from a sense of ego-driven control and step into a flow where they are led by wisdom that is both timeless and profound. 
    Faith is a foundational element of obedience. When one trusts in a higher purpose, they are more likely to act in accordance with divine will, even when the path ahead is unclear or difficult. This trust creates a foundation for obedience that is not rooted in fear or obligation but in the understanding that divine guidance is always for the highest good, even if it does not immediately make sense to the individual.

    When Samuel Townsend died at his home in Madison County, Alabama, in November 1856, the fifty-two-year-old white planter left behind hundreds of slaves, thousands of acres of rich cotton land, and a net worth of approximately $200,000. In life, Samuel had done little to distinguish himself from other members of the South's elite slaveholding class. But he made a name for himself in death by leaving almost the entirety of his fortune to his five sons, four daughters, and two nieces: all of them his slaves. 
     
     
     
    In this deeply researched, movingly narrated portrait of the extended Townsend family, R. Isabela Morales reconstructs the migration of this mixed-race family across the American West and South over the second half of the nineteenth century. Searching for communities where they could exercise their newfound freedom and wealth to the fullest, members of the family homesteaded and attended college in Ohio and Kansas; fought for the Union Army in Mississippi; mined for silver in the Colorado Rockies; and, in the case of one son, returned to Alabama to purchase part of the old plantation where he had once been held as a slave. In Morales's telling, the Townsends' story maps a new landscape of opportunity and oppression, where the meanings of race and freedom—as well as opportunities for social and economic mobility—were dictated by highly local circumstances.

    The doctor of philosophy is a complex degree.  The space between students and supervisors is vexed and volatile.  It can be exploitative. The Pernicious PhD Supervisor enters this difficult space and provides both the models and the strategies to categorize and manage difficult supervisors and supervisory practices.  From the Flamingo to the Wizard, from the White Pointer Shark to the Bower Bird, ten models of supervision are revealed.  Part horror and part comedy, this book opens the weeping wound of doctoral education, to salve and heal the consequences of problematic research cultures.
