Sinopse

Clay Pipe Making unveils the fascinating history of clay pipes, a once-common artifact reflecting significant aspects of British history, rural economies, and artisanal skills. This book explores the intricate process of crafting these tobacco pipes, emphasizing the pivotal role of family trade in sustaining this historical craft. Readers will discover how the surge in tobacco use directly influenced pipe production and gain insights into the morphology of pipes as indicators of regional production. The book uniquely presents the material culture and economic history through the lens of social cohesion within families, revealing how skills were passed down through generations.

 
Beginning with raw materials and tools, the narrative progresses step-by-step through the making, molding, and firing of clay pipes. It highlights regional variations and then shifts to the family unit, detailing labor division among its members. Ultimately, Clay Pipe Making analyzes the industry's decline due to changing habits and competition. By drawing on archaeological finds, historical documents, and oral histories, the book offers a detailed account appealing to historians, craft enthusiasts, and those interested in traditional trades.

    Samuel Ringgold Ward - A Life of...

    Born on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Samuel Ringgold Ward (1817–c. 1869) escaped enslavement and would become a leading figure in the struggle for Black freedom, citizenship, and equality. He was extolled by his contemporary Frederick Douglass for his "depth of thought, fluency of speech, readiness of wit, logical exactness." Until now, his story has been largely untold. 
     
     
     
    Ward, a newspaper editor, Congregational minister, and advocate for the temperance movement, was considered one of the leading orators of his time. After the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 he fled to Canada, where he lectured widely to improve conditions for formerly enslaved people who had settled there. Ward then went to Britain as an agent of the Canadian Antislavery Society and published his influential book Autobiography of a Fugitive Negro. He never returned to the United States, and he died in obscurity in Jamaica. 
     
     
      
    Despite Ward's prominent role in the abolitionist movement, his story has been lost because of the decades he spent in exile. In this book, R. J. M. Blackett brings light to Ward's life and his important role in the struggle against slavery and discrimination, and to the personal price he paid for confronting oppression.

    In childhood, Bell Hooks was taught that "talking back" meant speaking as an equal to an authority figure and daring to disagree and/or have an opinion. In this collection of personal and theoretical essays, Hooks reflects on her signature issues of racism and feminism, politics and pedagogy. Among her discoveries is that moving from silence into speech is for the oppressed, the colonized, the exploited, and those who stand and struggle side by side, a gesture of defiance that heals, making new life and new growth possible.

    Sex After Sexual Assault

    The figures are shocking: 40% of American women and nearly a quarter of American men have been sexually assaulted. While #MeToo stories and the survivors who shared them have helped combat sexual harassment in the workplace, improved police interventions, and resulted in high-profile convictions, the public has only just begun to reckon with the impact sexual assault has on survivors. The ongoing silence points to the still-taboo intersection of two subjects: sexual assault and sexuality. 
     
     
     
    Sex After Sexual Assault explores this crossroads through the lens of survivors' own stories. Millions of people across the United States experience sexual assault, and 94% of survivors experience symptoms of traumatic stress. These symptoms may affect our sex lives. This crucial book tackles the obstacles a survivor frequently faces while rebuilding a sex life after trauma. Each chapter includes a selection of survivors' stories. These stories illuminate how survivors have navigated their struggles into positive practices and outlooks and reimagined what sex and intimacy can look like. 
     
     
     
    For survivors it is a guidebook, a road map, true stories to lean on. These are survivors' stories, but the broader picture they paint is for anybody seeking more intentional, connected, and pleasurable sex with the awareness that rape culture impacts everyone.
