paperback. Condition: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. First Edition. Lawrence. 2019. June 2019. University Press of Kansas. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780700627981. Edited and with an introduction by Jared Champion. 21 photographs, all taken by Laura White Brunner. 208 pages. paperback. keywords: California Yosemite Women. DESCRIPTION - When she couldn't find hiking boots that fit, Laura White Brunner explored Yosemite backcountry barefoot, and at times alone, in an era when grizzly bears still roamed the park. When told she couldn't hike in pants, she pinned up her skirt. Brunner showed admirable pluck, but, more remarkably, she did it as a teenager in the 1910s-and she wrote it all down. Her memoir, recovered from the Yosemite archives and published here for the first time, recounts two summers spent working and hiking in Yosemite Valley during a time of great change-in the park and in the world beyond. In captivating prose Brunner describes her unlikely adventures in the summers of 1915 and 1917, as well as what she calls the interlude between them. Sometimes funny, sometimes painful, always engaging, her account captures the trails and tribulations of a young woman coming of age in America's most beautiful national park. Lightly edited and put into biographical, geographical, and historical context by Jared N. Champion, the book is also illustrated with historic photographs, many taken by Brunner herself. It provides an indelible picture of a bygone time, of awakening young womanhood in a pristine natural world just opening to tourism on a grand scale. Late in life, Laura White Brunner (1899-1973) told a reporter that she had always wanted to be a national park ranger, but, sadly, was born too soon. Nonetheless she made Yosemite her own-in her hiking, photographs, and memoir, but also in a practical sense, when her ascent of Half Dome by the Clothes-Line Rope inspired the park administration, who feared more women might summit the monolith, to install the iconic Cables on Half Dome route that remains in place today. Brunner went on to a career in journalism and though she tried for decades to publish her memoir, this is its first appearance in print. inventory #44706.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. TAKING A STAND: CONTEMPORARY US STAND-UP COMEDIANS AS PUBLIC INTELLECTUALS, edited by Jared N. Champion and Peter C. Kunze, softcover, stated first printing, 2021. BOOK CONDITION: fine. The text block is in fine condition, with no tears, dogears, or marks. No signature or bookplate of a prior owner. Not a library book or remainder. The wraps are in fine condition. 9 x 6, 284 pages, 15 ounces XX [From the back cover] A comprehensive study of comedy as social discourse and how comedians influence public opinion XX Taking a Stand makes a valuable addition to many disciplines, from media studies to gender studies to communication to sociology, not just for the wide breadth of its topics and analysis, but also for the considerable skill with which each chapter is crafted (TED GOURNELOS, author of Popular Culture and the Future of Politics: Cultural Studies and the Tao of South Park). XX Taking a Stand: Contemporary US Stand-Up Comedians as Public Intellectuals draws together essays that contribute to the analysis of the stand-up comedian as public intellectual since the 1980s. The chapters explore stand-up comedians as contributors to and shapers of public discourse via their live performances, podcasts, social media presence, and political activism. Each chapter highlights a stand-up comedian and their ongoing discussion of a cultural issue or expression of a political ideology/standpoint: Lisa Lampanelli's use of problematic postracial humor, Aziz Ansari's merging of sociology and technology, or Maria Bamford's emphasis on mental health, to name just a few. Comedians influence discourse, perspectives, even public policy on myriad issues, and this book sets out to take those jokes seriously. XX JARED N. CHAMPION is assistant professor of writing and interdisciplinary studies at Mercer University. He is editor of Cliffs and Challenges: A Young Woman Explores Yosemite, 1915-1917, PETER C. KUNZE is visiting assistant professor of communication at Tulane University. He is editor or coeditor of multiple publications, including The Films of Wes Anderson: Critical Essays on an Indiewood Icon; American-Australian Cinema: Transnational Connections; and Conversations with Maurice Sendak.
