Examining Room

Examining Room

Lorinda Spooner

Friesenpress
2025
pokkari
During 30 years in primary care and addiction medicine, the Vancouver-based Dr. Lorinda Spooner has found her examining room a place of suffering, of adversity, but also of hope. Yet, since 2016, when the opioid crisis was declared a public health emergency in British Columbia, more than 17,000 people have died from the toxic street supply of illicit fentanyl. Hope has been harder to find.So, Dr. Spooner began to write, "to try to find meaning out of all this suffering," and to give readers insight into the lives of those battling the disease of addiction. The result is this poetry collection - both raw and cathartic - one that looks unflinchingly at the pain the opioid epidemic has caused, and still marvels at the strength and resilience of those caught in its grasp.Dr. Spooner writes, hauntingly, "I am not my sorrow. " That, surely, is a declaration for us all.

Needlework and Women’s Identity in Colonial Australia

Needlework and Women’s Identity in Colonial Australia

Lorinda Cramer

Bloomsbury Visual Arts
2021
nidottu
In gold-rush Australia, social identity was in flux: gold promised access to fashionable new clothes, a grand home, and the goods to furnish it, but could not buy gentility. Needlework and Women’s Identity in Colonial Australia explores how the wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters who migrated to the newly formed colony of Victoria used their needle skills as a powerful claim to social standing.Focusing on one of women’s most common daily tasks, the book examines how needlework’s practice and products were vital in the contest for social position in the turmoil of the first two decades of the Victorian rush from 1851. Placing women firmly at the center of colonial history, it explores how the needle became a tool for stitching together identity. From decorative needlework to household making and mending, women’s sewing was a vehicle for establishing, asserting, and maintaining social status.Interdisciplinary in scope, Needlework and Women’s Identity in Colonial Australia draws on material culture, written primary sources, and pictorial evidence, to create a rich portrait of the objects and manners that defined genteel goldfields living. Giving voice to women’s experiences and positioning them as key players in the fabric of gold-rush society, this volume offers a fresh critical perspective on gender and textile history.

An Archaeology of Manners

An Archaeology of Manners

Lorinda B.R. Goodwin; Mary C. Beaudry

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2010

A glance at the title of this book might well beg the question “What in heaven’s name does archaeology have to do with manners? We cannot dig up manners or mannerly behavior—or can we?” One might also ask “Why is mannerly behavior important?” and “What can archaeology contribute to our understanding of the role of manners in the devel- ment of social relations and cultural identity in early America?” English colonists in America and elsewhere sought to replicate English notions of gentility and social structure, but of necessity div- ged from the English model. The first generation of elites in colonial America did not spring from the landed gentry of old England. Rather, they were self-made, newly rich, and newly possessed of land and other trappings of England’s genteel classes. The result was a new model of gentry culture that overcame the contradiction between a value system in which gentility was conferred by birth, and the new values of bo- geois materialism and commercialism among the emerging colonial elites. Manners played a critical role in the struggle for the cultural legitimacy of gentility; mannerly behavior—along with exhibition of refined taste in architecture, fashionable clothing, elegant furnishings, and literature—provided the means through which the new-sprung colonial elites defined themselves and validated their claims on power and prestige to accompany their newfound wealth.

Hidden History of Athens County, Ohio

Hidden History of Athens County, Ohio

Lorinda Leclain

History Press
2025
nidottu
Today, Athens County is known for its peaceful and idyllic character, but in days gone by the area was far less sedate. Small towns like Redtown, Hebbardsville, or Eclipse got their names from early settlers and coal barons who brought ambition and industry with them. The area's deep history of coal mining is well known, but salt manufacturing, railroads, and canals also thrived--for a time. Albany, Amesville, and Athens all played a part in leading freedom seekers north on the Underground Railroad, and John Morgan Hunt set barns and bridges ablaze in his Civil War raid. Athens County native and Local History Department Librarian Lorinda LeClain unearths these little-known stories and many, many more.

This book is a self-directed guide to one of the most interesting and hilly capitals in the world, Rome. It is helpful to the traveler in this city with urban sprawl and steep hills to use a guide to avoid difficult situations. The authors want to help the traveler to plan ahead and use the book while traveling. ROME AND VATICAN EASY SIGHTSEEING'S authors have researched the city's nooks and crannies of a mix of 3,600 year's of civilization and architecture. Few cities have retained structures with designs so different and still functioning after 4,000 years. Many travelers have limited time and sometimes limited mobility. Rome challenges disabled, elderly and wheelchair riders and this book is helpful for wheelchair riders who have a strong pusher and plan visits to sights that state, "WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE". There are a broad range of handicapped travelers, some use the wheelchair as a walker, and will find it to be a valuable support for balance and rest when traveling. Rome and the Vatican are accessible to nearly everyone when you use this book to search for suitable bypasses, shortcuts and suggested accessible routes in this huge city. Don's arthritic legs and wheelchairs make him work out strategies for bypassing the situations that call for more strenuous walking. Lorinda's care for her ninety-year-old mother provided her with the special skills for ambulation care of travelers. Tourists have sometimes been unkind to Rome by complaining that it is a little like Los Angeles, big and spread out for people who have trouble walking. Even Rome's topography of seven hills can be conquered by maps and clever organization. The book shows 14 clustered sights; Colosseum and Forum, Termini, Barbarini, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Quirinal Hill, San Giovanni Basilica, Piazza Spagno, Piazza Popolo, Trastevere, Villa Borghese Gardens, Near the Tiber, Galleries near Borghese, and the Vatican. It has separate maps of these sights-clustered neighborhoods, and how to locate them. The last section of the book details the campaign by American, British and Italian soldiers to defeat the German occupiers of Italy during World War II. 360,000 Italians died fighting against the Germans and 100,000 American, British, French, Polish and German soldiers died in Italy. Information is given on how to locate American buried servicemen in Italy near Rome. The authors explain as knowledgeable tour guides, good friends and city insiders with the assistance of detailed maps, words and pictures. They write from experience working with handicapped adults and children.
