Abstract

Brown Eyed Handsome Man: The Life and Hard Times of Chuck Berry draws on dozens of interviews done by the author himself and voluminous public records to paint a complete picture of this complicated figure. This biography uncovers the real Berry and provides us with a stirring, unvarnished portrait of both the man and the artist. Berry has long been one of pop music's most enigmatic personalities. Growing up in a middle-class, black neighborhood in St. Louis, his first major hit song, ""Maybellene,"" was an adaptation of a white country song, wedded to a black-influenced beat

Abstract

"Jan Berry, leader of the music duo Jan & Dean from the late 1950s to mid-1960s, was an intense character who experienced more in his first 25 years than many do in a lifetime. As an architect of the West Coast sound, he was one of rock 'n' roll's original rebels--brilliant, charismatic, reckless, and flawed. As a songwriter, music arranger, and record producer for Nevin-Kirshner Associates and Screen Gems-Columbia Music, Berry was one of the pioneering self-produced artists of his era in Hollywood. He lived a dual life, reaching the top of the charts with Jan & Dean while transitioning from college student to medical student, until an automobile accident ended his seemingly charmed existence in 1966. Suffering from brain damage and partial paralysis, Jan spent the rest of his life trying to come back from Dead Man's Curve. His story is told here in-depth for the first time, based on extensive primary source documentation and supplemented by the stories and memories of Jan's family members, friends, music industry colleagues, and contemporaries. From the birth of rock to the bitter end, Berry's life story is thrilling, humorous, unsettling, and disturbing, yet ultimately uplifting"--

Abstract

Strawberry is among the most widely consumed fruits in the world and its cultivation is increasing worldwide. It is a microclimatic crop, which means that its behaviour may vary considerably depending on many agronomical and environmental factors such as temperature, light, moisture, soil type, etc. Strawberry production requires the input of large amounts of water because of its shallow rooting system, its high leaf area and the large water content of the fruit. This book discusses the cultivation of strawberries as well as the antioxidant properties and health benefits of consuming them.

Abstract

'This work combines textual analysis and cultural criticism to explain how Wendell Berry's literary forms encourage readers to practice virtues of renewal. While the written word alone cannot enact change, Jeffrey Bilbro asserts that Berry's poetry, essays, and fiction can inspire people to, as Berry writes, 'practice resurrection'.

Abstract

L'historien de l'Ancien Régime est comparable aux pionniers de la photographie : il peine à saisir le mouvement. Les sources dont il dispose sous forme de séries les plus complètes (aveux et dénombrements, minutes notariales) privilégient les tenanciers, les propriétaires, les sédentaires. Si les flux et reflux des migrations saisonnières – les « remues d'hommes » – ont pu progressivement être reconstituées, il reste aujourd'hui très difficile de percevoir les circulations volatiles, diffuses et non répétées, pourtant tout aussi fréquentes. Le « peuple de la forêt », celui des bûcherons, charbonniers ou fendeurs, travaillant au gré des chantiers d'abattage, appartient à ces populations nomades qui sillonnent les routes de France aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Ils ne sont connus que par le prisme de l'histoire de la sylviculture, celle du droit forestier aussi, et de ces conflits, avec le pouvoir ou avec le monde paysan, qui établissent leur réputation de turbulence. Même les ouvrages plus spécifiquement consacrés au travail des taillis et des futaies laissent d'eux une vision partielle et inachevée : les cognées résonnent, les arbres tombes, les meules cuisent sans que les hôtes des bois soient l'objet d'un portrait social étoffé. Les techniques sont décrites, guère le manoeuvre… Ce livre a pour ambition de chercher à combler cette lacune historiographique en partant de l'exemple des forestiers qui ont traversé le Poitou et le Berry. Grâce à la minutieuse reconstitution des trajets individuels et familiaux, fondée sur les registres paroissiaux d'une quinzaine de départements du Centre Ouest français, un milieu professionnel sort des ombrages avec ses solidarités, son mode de vie, son insertion dans la société du finage qui ne sont pas toujours conformes à l'image convenue des rapports d'administrateurs. Une France des routes et des marges, nomade et oubliée, apparaît ici. Sa confrontation avec l'autre France, celle plus stable et bien connue des bourgs et des…
