Nineteenth-century Britain was one of the birthplaces of modern vegetarianism in the west, and was to become a reform movement attracting thousands of people. From the Vegetarian Society's foundation in 1847, men, women and their families abandoned conventional diet for reasons as varied as self-advancement, personal thrift, dissatisfaction with medical orthodoxy and repugnance for animal cruelty. They joined in the pursuit of a perfect society in which food reform combined with causes such as socialism and land reform, stimulated by the concern that carnivorism was in league with alcoholism and bellicosity. James Gregory provides a rich exploration of the movement, with its often colourful and sometimes eccentric leaders and grass-roots supporters. He explores the rich culture of branch associations, competing national societies, proliferating restaurants and food stores and experiments in vegetarian farms and colonies. "Of Victorians and Vegetarians" examines the wider significance of Victorian vegetarians, embracing concerns about gender and class, national identity, race and empire and religious authority. Vegetarianism embodied the Victorians' complicated response to modernity in its hostility to aspects of the industrial world's exploitation of technology, rejecting entrepreneurial attempts to create the foods and substitute artefacts of the future. Hostile, like the associated anti-vivisectionists and anti-vaccinationists, to a new 'priesthood' of scientists, vegetarians defended themselves through the new sciences of nutrition and chemistry. "Of Victorians and Vegetarians" uncovers who the vegetarians were, how they attempted to convert their fellow Britons (and the world beyond) to their 'bloodless diet' and the response of contemporaries in a variety of media and genres. Through a close study of the vegetarian periodicals and organisational archives, extensive biographical research and a broader examination of texts relating to food, dietary reform and allied reform movements, James Gregory provides us with the first fascinating foray into the impact of vegetarianism on the Victorians, the history of animal welfare, reform movements and food history.

Talks about the southern exodus and its impact on American life. Between 1900 and the 1970s, twenty million southerners migrated north and west. Weaving together for the first time the histories of black and white migrants, James N. Gregory traces their paths and experiences in a comprehensive new study that demonstrates how this regional diaspora reshaped America by ""southernizing"" communities and transforming important cultural and political institutions. Challenging the image of the migrants as helpless and poor, Gregory shows how both black and white southerners used their new surroundings to become agents of change. Combining personal stories with cultural, political, and demographic analysis, he argues that the migrants helped create both the modern civil rights movement and modern conservatism. They spurred changes in American religion, notably modern evangelical Protestantism, and in popular culture, including the development of blues, jazz, and country music. In a sweeping account that pioneers new understandings of the impact of mass migrations, Gregory recasts the history of twentieth-century America. He demonstrates that the southern diaspora was crucial to transformations in the relationship between American regions, in the politics of race and class, and in the roles of religion, the media, and culture.

30 Days: Emails from a father to a son battling depression

He had been struggling with depression and anxiety for years, but no one really knew how deep it went. When my son shared with me that he struggles with debilitating depression and anxiety, I felt paralyzed and unable to help him. I felt that somehow I had failed him, that I missed the opportunities to give him the love and security he needed. Where did I go wrong? It wasn't until after he really began to open up to me, that I realized that it wasn't my fault, it wasn't his fault, it was no one's fault.After seeking help with the physical, social and mental part of this disease - there was still something missing. The counseling was helping, the medicine stopped the attacks, his social life began to open up and provide healing, but there was still something that wasn't being filled. I quickly realized that we far too often neglect, and sometimes avoid, the spiritual side of depression and anxiety. As ignorant as it is to focus ONLY on the spiritual side, it is just as ignorant to believe that secular counseling and medicine can bring us completely whole again.It was then that I dedicated myself to spend 30 days in God's Word and seek His answers to depression and anxiety. I did not expect to find much but was surprised when the words came alive and began to flood my heart and mind. God has SO MUCH to say about this. The Bible is filled with stories, examples and healing words to those who struggle with this terrible life-stealing disease. Each day I would spend time in the Word and wrote a devotional, a 'thought for the day', encouragement or just an observation. I then emailed them to my son to arrive in his inbox at 7 am the next morning. We both agreed that I would do this for 30 days and he would start his day with reading and meditating on them.This is a success story. My son has grown so much and is now pursuing goals and dreams that have been dormant for too long. This isn't a story about how great of a dad I am, or how great of a son I have. It is a story of how great our Father in heaven is. A Father who loves us, and who has provided for us in His Word. It is a story of a Father who works within the lives and relationships of earthly father and sons to build men of God based on godly masculinity. My hope and my prayer is that these words can somehow provide a level of healing encouragement to those with the same struggle and also for those who love them.

This is, ultimately, a story about faith. Trust in those who help you is important, but in the end, it matters where you place your faith. My faith never waivered, despite whatever I had to go through, because I always knew there was a reason for it. Other than that, there was always a talent I possessed. I had to work to get it back up to snuff, but I went above and beyond any of my expectations. I'll never stop thanking my brother for all of his love during my troubled time, my mother for teaching me how to be independent, and my dad for teaching me never to give up. Of course there were other people who added to the mix, but family comes before the rest, and I was blessed with a pretty good one. I have lots of uncles, and even an aunt who helped me by using old school values, helping me keep faith in the Lord, and help me with a little extra change when I needed it.
The Dishwasher Dialogues offers a rare insight into the Paris of the nineteen seventies as few people knew it. Here is a rich dialogue between a Canadian dishwasher/bartender and an American bartender/dishwasher at the renowned soul food restaurant Chez Haynes in the red-light district of Paris. The staff were dreamers, writers, painters, actors, dancers and photographers. They all survived thanks to the legendary African American Leroy Haynes, who knew everybody from the mayor to the call girls deluxe. Between dishwashing and mixing cocktails, these two young exiles wrote and painted, talked about art and death, and embraced their muses and demons. They lived it and never forgot.In Paris. A city at the end of an era. The trains had wooden doors and the streets had public toilets. There were no computers, credit cards or copying machines; most apartments had no phones, heating, or indoor toilets. There were the big spenders in sable coats and Ferragamo shoes, the daily scolding from waiters in bistros and shopkeepers, and the clochards dying of the cold at the closed metro gates. But freedom beckoned everywhere. The cops left you alone, the authorities looked the other way and the metro (plus a cheap carte orange) took you to every nook and cranny of the city. There may not have been much equality or fraternity, but liberty ran rampant.
