The Quarters and the Fields offers a unique approach to the examination of slavery. Rather than focusing on slave work and family life on cotton plantations, Damian Pargas compares the practice of slavery among the other major agricultural cultures in the nineteenth-century South: tobacco, mixed grain, rice, and sugar cane. He reveals how the demands of different types of masters and crops influenced work patterns and habits, which in turn shaped slaves' family life.By presenting a broader view of the complex forces that shaped enslaved people's family lives, not only from outside but also from within, this book takes an inclusive approach to the slave agency debate. A comparative study that examines the importance of time and place for slave families, The Quarters and the Fields provides a means for understanding them as they truly were: dynamic social units that were formed and existed under different circumstances across time and space.
Slavery and Forced Migration in the Antebellum South

Cambridge University Press

American slavery in the antebellum period was characterized by a massive wave of forced migration as millions of slaves were moved across state lines to the expanding southwest, scattered locally, and sold or hired out in towns and cities across the South. This book sheds new light on domestic forced migration by examining the experiences of American-born slave migrants from a comparative perspective. Juxtaposing and contrasting the experiences of long-distance, local, and urban slave migrants, it analyzes how different migrant groups anticipated, reacted to, and experienced forced removal, as well as how they adapted to their new homes.
In this fascinating book, Damian Alan Pargas introduces a new conceptualization of 'spaces of freedom' for fugitive slaves in North America between 1800 and 1860, and answers the questions: How and why did enslaved people flee to – and navigate – different destinations throughout the continent, and to what extent did they succeed in evading recapture and re-enslavement? Taking a continental approach, this study highlights the diversity of slave fight by conceptually dividing the continent into three distinct – and continuously evolving – spaces of freedom. Namely, spaces of informal freedom in the US South, where enslaved people attempted to flee by passing as free blacks; spaces of semi-formal freedom in the US North, where slavery was abolished but the precise status of fugitive slaves was contested; and spaces of formal freedom in Canada and Mexico, where slavery was abolished and runaways were considered legally free and safe from re-enslavement.

From climate change to fossil fuel dependency, from the uneven effects of natural disasters to the loss of biodiversity: complex socio-environmental problems indicate the urgency for cross-disciplinary research into the ways in which the social, the natural and the technological are ever more entangled. This ground breaking text moves between environmental sociology and environmental geography, political and social ecology and critical design studies to provide a definitive mapping of the state of environmental social theory in the age of the anthropocene.Environments, Natures and Social Theory provokes dialogue and confrontation between critical political economists, actor network theorists, neo-Malthusians and environmental justice advocates. It maps out the new environmental politics of hybridity moving from hybrid neo-liberals to end times ecologists, from post environmentalists to cyborg eco-socialists. White, Rudy and Gareau insist on the necessity of a critical but optimistic hybrid politics, arguing that a more just, egalitarian, democratic and sustainable anthropocene is within our grasp. This will only be brought into being, however, by reclaiming, celebrating and channeling the reconstructive potential of entangled hybrid humans as inventive hominids, creative gardeners, critical publics and political agents. Written in an accessible style, Environments, Natures and Social Theory is an essential resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students across the social sciences.

Captures Current Developments in Bridge Design and MaintenanceRecent research in bridge design and maintenance has focused on the serviceability problems of older bridges with aging joints. The favored solution of integral construction and design has produced bridges with fewer joints and bearings that require less maintenance and deliver increased durability. Bridge Deck Analysis, Second Edition outlines this growing development, and covers the structural analysis of most common bridge forms. It introduces reliability analysis, an emergent method that allows bridge engineers to determine risk when maintaining older or damaged bridges. Explains the Background Theory along with Practical ToolsThis book includes practical examples of everyday problems in bridge engineering, and presents real-life examples of the application of reliability analysis. The authors show how reliability analysis can determine structural safety even for bridges which have failed a deterministic assessment. They also update other chapters to reflect the most current advancements towards more sophisticated analysis, and the more widespread use of finite element software.What’s New in this Edition: Incorporates new research on soil-structure interactionA new section with examples of how to analyze for the effects of creepGreatly expands the sections on 3-D brick finite elementsNow consistent with both Eurocodes and AASHTO standards An appropriate resource for senior undergraduates taking an advanced course on bridge engineering, Bridge Deck Analysis is also suitable for practicing engineers, and other professionals involved in the development of bridge design.

Nur f r kurze Zeit f r 2,99 Eine witzig, moderne Rockstar-Liebesgeschichte f rs Herz.Damian kann ohne Musik nicht leben. Sie ist alles, was er will und braucht Sie gibt ihm den n tigen Halt, um weiterzumachen und niemals aufzugeben. Alles andere hat in seinem Herzen einfach keinen Platz Schon gar nicht eine zickige, ber die Ma en besserwisserische, und zudem leider auch unglaublich hei e T towiererin, die sogar die Dreistigkeit besitzt, ihm noch in seinen Tr umen aufzulauern. Damian versucht also alles, um Tamara wieder aus dem Kopf zu bekommen. Doch je mehr er es versucht, desto schlimmer wird es. Schlie lich bleibt ihm nur noch eine einzige M glichkeit ...Dieser Roman enth lt explizite Liebesszenen und wird aus zwei Sichten erz hlt.Das Buch ist in sich abgeschlossen und kann v llig unabh ngig von Blake gelesen werden.Auszug: Mit knappem Kopfsch tteln sah ich ihr deshalb wieder ins Gesicht und betrachtete sie das erste Mal richtig. Sie war klein und zierlich, jedoch machte ihr Selbstvertrauen all das wieder wett. Ihre dunkelbraunen durch Make-Up ein wenig schwarz umrahmten Augen sahen mich abwartend - ja, fast herausfordernd an. Sie hatte definitiv etwas, und damit meinte ich nicht nur, dass sie durchaus sexy in den hochhackigen, schwarzen Lederstiefeln, dem kurzen schwarzen Minirock und der dazu passenden, offen stehenden Lederjacke aussah, die so einen gro artigen Blick auf ein violettes, im EMP-Stil-gehaltenes Oberteil zulie , das wiederum den Schauplatz einer Zombieschlacht darstellte. Okay, ja - sie war hei Und das, obwohl eine blutige Axt ihre Br ste zierte und sie eigentlich berhaupt nicht mein Typ war. Dennoch konnte ich nicht umhin, sie mir gerade auf mir vorzustellen und mir auszumalen, wie es w re, mich dabei in ihr zu versenken.Hei t das nein?, wollte sie wissen und bezog sich damit wohl auf mein Kopfsch tteln.Ihre Lippen verzogen sich zu einem sp ttischen L cheln.War ja klar. Da fahr ich extra hierher, nur um wieder auf einen Typen zu treffen, dem es zu peinlich ist, sich ein Hodenpiercing von einer Frau stechen zu lassen.
