Sinopse

Boat Building Skills explores the rich history and craftsmanship of wooden boat construction in coastal communities, highlighting its vital role in providing fishing jobs and preserving maritime traditions. This book delves into how boat building was more than just a technical skill; it was a cornerstone of family enterprise and cultural identity. Readers will discover the intricate techniques involved, from selecting wood to mastering caulking, and how these skills were passed down through generations.

 
The book examines the social structures and economic ecosystems surrounding boat building during the 19th and 20th centuries, a period when wooden boats were fundamental to nearshore fishing industries. It reveals how this traditional craft supported local economies and shaped coastal life. Through historical shipbuilding manuals, oral histories, and archival photographs, the book presents a ground-level perspective that emphasizes the lived experiences of boat builders.

 
Structured as a comprehensive journey, the book progresses from defining key terms and historical context to detailed case studies of coastal families and an analysis of the economic impact of boat building. It concludes by discussing the challenges facing these traditions in the modern era and offering suggestions for preserving and revitalizing these essential skills.

    Award-winning writer Dan Wakefield reveals how writers, artists, musicians, and creative people of all kinds can unleash the principle of creativity within, so that it can infuse every aspect of our lives. Wakefield challenges the belief that to be creative, one must be alienated, neurotic, irresponsible, and a failure at relationships. Drawing on examples from religion, philosophy, and literature Creating from the Spirit teaches us that the key to creation is clarity of body, mind, and spirit. Wakefield explains the art of "emptying" the mind, then "filling up" by accessing natural perceptions and hidden creative resources.

    Empire of Purity - The History...

    Between the 1870s and 1930s, American social reformers, working closely with the US government, transformed sexual vice into an international political and humanitarian concern. As these activists worked to eradicate prostitution and trafficking, they promoted sexual self-control for both men and women as a cornerstone of civilization and a basis of American exceptionalism. Empire of Purity traces the history of these efforts, showing how the policing and penalization of sexuality was used to justify American interventions around the world. 
     
     
     
    Eva Payne describes how American reformers successfully pushed for international anti-trafficking agreements that mirrored US laws, calling for states to criminalize prostitution and restrict migration, and harming the very women they claimed to protect. She argues that Americans' ambitions to reshape global sexual morality and law advanced an ideology of racial hierarchy that viewed women of color, immigrants, and sexual minorities as dangerous vectors of disease. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on archives in Europe, the United States, and Latin America, Empire of Purity ties the war on sexual vice to American imperial ambitions and a politicization of sexuality that continues to govern both domestic and international policy today.

    Mary Beth Rogers has led an eventful life rooted in the weeds of Texas politics, occasionally savoring a few victories—particularly the 1990 governor's race when, as campaign manager for Ann Richards, she did the impossible and put a Democratic woman in office. She also learned to absorb her losses—after all, she was a liberal feminist in America's most aggressively conservative state. 
     
     
     
    Rogers's road to a political life was complex. Candidly and vulnerably, she shares both public and private memories of how she tried to maintain a rich family life with growing children and a husband with a debilitating illness. She goes on to provide an insider's account of her experiences as Richards's first chief of staff while weaving her way through the highs and lows of political intrigue and legislative maneuvering. 
     
     
     
    Reflecting on her family heritage and nascent spiritual quest, Rogers discovers a reality at once sobering and invigorating: nothing is ever completely lost or completely won. It is a constant struggle to create humane public policies built on a foundation of fairness and justice—particularly in her beloved Texas.
