Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In the 1930s, the U.S. government famously sent photographers across the country to document on film the need for federal assistance in rural areas. Dorothea Lange's well-known image Migrant Mother came from this effort, along with thousands of other photographs. Ben Shahn, Russell Lee, and Marion Post Wolcott contributed to this compelling body of images. As primary photographers for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) in the state of Louisiana, the three took more than 2,600 photographs, recording the modest homes, family gatherings, and working lives of citizens across the state. In Images of Depression-Era Louisiana, Bryan Giemza and Maria Hebert-Leiter curate more than 150 of those photographs, offering a riveting collection that captures this pivotal time in Louisiana's history. The book's stunning photo gallery, with original captions, provides a moving visual tour of Louisiana during a period of economic struggle and transition. Organized by photographer, parish, and date, the revealing images reflect an era when extreme poverty exacerbated the divide between classes and races. Scenes of agricultural and rural communities- families in clapboard houses, sugarcane cutters in the field, and trappers navigating bayous- as well as cityscapes of New Orleans's bustling markets, busy docks, and peaceful Jackson Square demonstrate the scope of the photographers' work and the diversity of conditions and occupations they found. Giemza and Hebert-Leiter trace the genesis of the FSA Collection, examine its role in promoting the documentary style of picture-taking, and explore the motivations and methods of the collection's head, Roy E. Stryker. They sketch the biographies, techniques, and perspectives of Shahn, Lee, and Wolcott, explaining how the photographers operated in Louisiana from their first experiences to their last days in the state. Letters and other archival documents further illuminate the three artists' impressions of Louisiana, its people, and its traditions. Offers a riveting collection of 150 photographs that capture this pivotal time in Louisiana's history. Organised by photographer, parish, and date, the revealing images reflect an era when extreme poverty exacerbated the divide between classes and races.

Paperback. Condition: New. In an era defined by information overload and polarized discourse, Sowing the West Texas Wind brings together a diverse array of scholars, scientists, journalists, and legal experts to examine the rise of misinformation and its real-world impacts. The scope goes from the deeply local to the national and global to understand how trust is won and lost. With a focus on the last decade's most defining crises-including the COVID-19 pandemic, climate disinformation, and election interference-this timely collection uses West Texas as a revealing microcosm for understanding how falsehoods take root and spread.Rather than preaching from political extremes, however, the book probes how misinformation distorts community life, corrodes democratic processes, and complicates public health and policy decisions. The contributors explore the phenomenon through case studies that span health communication, climate science, law, media studies, and security policy. From the infiltration of "pink slime" journalism in Lubbock to the influence of Russian disinformation on Texas secessionist movements, the chapters dissect the anatomy of confusion. There are insights for local leaders, journalists, and citizens alike as we navigate a terrain of contested truths.Sowing the West Texas Wind goes beyond merely calling out dysfunction to invite collective reflection on the complex interplay between how we see ourselves and navigate shifting media ecosystems. By illuminating both the local textures and global consequences of our epistemic crisis, the book offers insights for those seeking practical, informed pathways through today's tangled information landscape.

Paperback. Condition: New. Bryan Giemza challenges the myth of the solitary genius, both in scientific and humanistic endeavors, and demonstrates how Cormac McCarthy is the exceptional figure whose work allows and encourages us to interrogate the marriage of the sciences and humanities. Drawing from previously unsurfaced archival connections as well as a range of primary sources and interview subjects, including those close to McCarthy, Giemza places McCarthy's work within contemporary scientific discourse and literary criticism. Timely and innovative in both content and structure, the volume includes a biographical examination of the writer's love of science and the path that led him to the Santa Fe Institute and offers a rare look behind its closed doors.The book probes the STEM subjects - with chapters focused on technology, engineering, and math - within and throughout McCarthy's fictional universe and biography. The final chapter explores McCarthy's friendship with Guy Davenport and their shared interest in creating a unified aesthetic theory alongside McCarthy's essays and most recent literary projects, The Passenger and Stella Maris. In arguing that science and art are connected by aesthetics, Giemza confirms the profound truth of McCarthy's unwavering belief that "There's a beauty to science" and a language of human understanding that transcends words.
