Troubled Times in Tennessee History

Troubled Times in Tennessee History

James Jones

America Through Time
2021
nidottu
Uncovers overlooked and taboo aspects of Tennessee's history, from moonshining to dueling and lynching. Troubled Times in Tennessee is a detailed look at various lost or hidden aspects of Tennessee history. Historians of the Volunteer State's past have overlooked the stories in these chapters while paying more attention to political, biographical, economic, and war-time history. The chapters in this book deal with topics such as the control of prostitution, drug abuse, disputes between newspaper editors, dueling, moonshining, criminals, and lynching. Troubled Times in Tennessee offers a glimpse at heretofore unheralded historical stories in the Volunteer State's past and unparalleled coverage of some topics once considered taboo.

Aeroform: Designing for Wind and Air Movement provides a comprehensive introduction to applying aerodynamic principles to architectural design. It presents a challenge to architects and architectural engineers to give shape to the wind and express its influence on architectural form. The wind pushes and pulls on our buildings, infiltrates and exfiltrates through cracks and openings, and lifts roofs during storm events. It can also offer opportunities for resource conservation through natural ventilation or a biophilic connection between indoors and out. This book provides basic concepts in fluid mechanics such as materials, forces, equilibrium, pressure, and hydrostatics; introduces the reader to the concept of airflow; and provides strategies for designing for wind resistance, especially in preventing uplift. Natural ventilation and forced airflow are explored using examples such as Thomas Herzog’s Hall 26 in Hanover, RWE Ag building in Essen Germany, and the Kimbell Art Museum in Texas. Finally, issues of wind and airflow measurement are addressed. A reference for students and practitioners of architecture and architectural engineering, this book is richly illustrated and presents complex concepts of aerodynamic engineering in easy-to-understand language. It prepares the architect or architectural engineer to design buildings that are visually expressive of a dialogue between wind and built form.

Coleridge and the Philosophy of Poetic Form

Coleridge and the Philosophy of Poetic Form

Ewan James Jones

Cambridge University Press
2014
sidottu
Ewan James Jones argues that Coleridge engaged most significantly with philosophy not through systematic argument, but in verse. Jones carries this argument through a series of sustained close readings, both of canonical texts such as Christabel and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, and also of less familiar verse, such as Limbo. Such work shows that the essential elements of poetic expression - a poem's metre, rhythm, rhyme and other such formal features - enabled Coleridge to think in an original and distinctive manner, which his systematic philosophy impeded. Attentiveness to such formal features, which has for some time been overlooked in Coleridge scholarship, permits a rethinking of the relationship between eighteenth-century verse and philosophy more broadly, as it engages with issues including affect, materiality and self-identity. Coleridge's poetic thinking, Jones argues, both consolidates and radicalises the current literary critical rediscovery of form.
