When English petro-chemical engineer David Stannard purchased a small holiday villa in Bordeaux back in 1992, he never dreamed that one day he would be the accidental creator of a globally successful, organic, boutique winery he'd be running from his new home in Australia...
This book brings a variety of fresh perspectives to bear on the diverse people and settlements of the eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century southern backcountry. Reflecting the growth of interdisciplinary studies in addressing the backcountry, the volume specifically points to the use of history, archaeology, geography, and material culture studies in examining communities on the southern frontier. Through a series of case studies and overviews, the contributors use cross-disciplinary analysis to look at community formation and maintenance in the backcountry areas of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. These essays demonstrate how various combinations of research strategies, conceptual frameworks, and data can afford a new look at a geographical area and its settlement. The contributors offer views on the evolution of backcountry communities by addressing such topics as migration, kinship, public institutions, transportation and communications networks, land markets and real estate claims, and the role of agricultural development in the emergence of a regional economy. In their discussions of individuals in the backcountry, they also explore the multiracial and multiethnic character of southern frontier society. Yielding new insights unlikely to emerge under a single disciplinary analysis, The Southern Colonial Backcountry is a unique volume that highlights the need for interdisciplinary approaches to the backcountry while identifying common research problems in the field.

"You must enter the river as you entered life: with eyes focused on the journey. Would we choose life if we were looking only at its destination?" asks the otter as he entrusts the elf to rapids he has never dared attempt himself.Intrigued by a dream, an aging elf adventures beyond the meadow creek he has called home since being sent into the wilderness as an orphan. Driven by insatiable curiosity, he sets off with only the words of a nursery rhyme to direct him: If ever you're lost in confusion, Turn to the creek and its flow: Meandering, falling through gorge, Through desert, in drought, or in snow.Step forth with a stride quick and steady.Trust guidance to come as you go. Its course from the crest of the Rockies to the vast Pacific leads him through a colorful spectrum of lives and deaths of roadrunners that heal and hummingbird historians, a halfling and a blundering alchemist, both empathic and aggressive cacti, an effete bullfrog and a giggling mama bear. The lyrical prose builds till the Deepest Longing we each carry calls his heart Homeward.Learn the ways of water and glimpse the biodiversity of our spectacular American West. Join the ever-changing dance of creek and elf as they pass among a delightful contingent of creatures who have lessons for Rowan's ebbing life . . . and perhaps yours.

Havet - hvordan vi redder Jordens sidste vildnis strækker sig over hundrede år og fortæller om utallige fascinerende arter og er Sir David Attenboroughs hyldest til livet i havet.David Attenborough har optaget tv i ethvert habitat i planetens have, fra de iskolde oceaner ved vores poler til fjerntliggende koraløer. Nu deler han historien om vores sidste store vildnis – den enorme del af naturen, som former den jord, vi lever på, regulerer vores klima og skaber den luft, vi indånder.Gennem hundrede år, otte unikke habitater i havet, utallige spændende arter – og gennem personlige fortællinger, historisk viden og banebrydende videnskab – afdækker Havet mysteriet, vidunderet og skrøbeligheden bag verdens mest uudforskede habitat. Og bogen viser havets enestående modstandskraft: Det er den del af vores verden, der kan – og i nogle tilfælde allerede har – restitueret sig hurtigst. I vores levetid kunne vi se en fuldt genoprettet marinverden – endda endnu rigere og mere spektakulær, end vi har turdet at håbe på – hvis vi handler nu.
Den økonomiske videnskab har etableret sig som det primære politisk-administrative styringsredskab i Danmark og mange andre vestlige lande. Har alting en pris? leverer en kritisk analyse af denne samfundsrolle i et videnskabsteoretisk, videnssociologisk, institutionsteoretisk og idehistorisk perspektiv.Bogens empiriske afsæt er den økonomiske videnskabs aftryk på den politiske håndtering af to alvorlige udfordringer for det danske – og internationale – samfund, nemlig klimaforandringerne og coronapandemien. Økonomien er ikke blot en samfundsvidenskab, men rummer tillige en menneskeopfattelse, Homo economicus, og i kraft heraf har økonomien også haft stor indflydelse på offentlige institutioners ledelsesform.I alle disse sammenhænge har økonomiens definitionsprivilegium og den udstrakte brug af økonomiske administrationsredskaber skabt problemer, som kunne have været undgået ved at anvende et bredere spektrum af videnskabelig ekspertise i det danske samfund. Bogen munder ud i en række anbefalinger til en bredere faglig fundering for fremtidens politisk-administrative styring.

The area of the Upper and Lower Blue Licks is steeped in the early history of frontier Kentucky. Ten months after British Commanding General Cornwallis had surrendered at Yorktown; on Monday, 19 August 1782 a bloody frontier battle took place here in this region and is noted as one of the final battles of the American Revolutionary War. Fourteen years later, a young Scotsman and his new bride settled in the frontier lands of Nicholas County. Only four years earlier, Kentucky was admitted to the Union as its 15th state. David Ballingall was the eighth child of David Ballingall (1721-1805) and Rachel Durie, born at Warout in Markinch Parish, Fifeshire. After growing up in Markinch, the young man seeking a new life in America, most likely read accounts about the exciting frontier lands in America. Ballingall, it seems left Scotland in circa 1792-93, although it could have been earlier and first settled in Madison County, Kentucky where he met Frances Jones Williams who was also of Madison County. Shortly after their marriage, they relocated to Nicholas County where David began farming and established a mill named the land after his family, Ballingall's Mill, where they had four children. The family stayed at Ballingall's Mill for nine years until deciding to move across the Licking River to the Lower Blue Licks region. Also in 1805 David Ballingall was appointed as an Assistant Judge, and known throughout the region simply as "Judge." He held this position for eight years until he was addressed out of office because as a Scotsman he was un-naturalized, and not a United States citizen at the time. David was also mentioned in the Acts passed by the Kentucky General Assembly in 1825 as his residence in the Lower Blue Licks was a place of voting. This then is the narrative of the life and times of David Ballingall.
