Based on her extensive experience in the urban communities of Los Angeles, historian and architect Dolores Hayden proposes new perspectives on gender, race, and ethnicity to broaden the practice of public history and public art, enlarge urban preservation, and reorient the writing of urban history to spatial struggles. In the first part of The Power of Place, Hayden outlines the elements of a social history of urban space to connect people's lives and livelihoods to the urban landscape as it changes over time. She then explores how communities and professionals can tap the power of historic urban landscapes to nurture public memory. The second part documents a decade of research and practice by The Power of Place, a nonprofit organization Hayden founded in downtown Los Angeles. Through public meetings, walking tours, artists's books, and permanent public sculpture, as well as architectural preservation, teams of historians, designers, planners, and artists worked together to understand, preserve, and commemorate urban landscape history as African American, Latina, and Asian American families have experienced it. One project celebrates the urban homestead of Biddy Mason, an African American ex-slave and midwife active betwen 1856 and 1891. Another reinterprets the Embassy Theater where Rose Pesotta, Luisa Moreno, and Josefina Fierro de Bright organized Latina dressmakers and cannery workers in the 1930s and 1940s. A third chapter tells the story of a historic district where Japanese American family businesses flourished from the 1890s to the 1940s. Each project deals with bitter memories—slavery, repatriation, internment—but shows how citizens survived and persevered to build an urban life for themselves, their families, and their communities. Drawing on many similar efforts around the United States, from New York to Charleston, Seattle to Cincinnati, Hayden finds a broad new movement across urban preservation, public history, and public art to accept American diversity at the heart of the vernacular urban landscape. She provides dozens of models for creative urban history projects in cities and towns across the country.

The concept of authenticity has received some attention in recent academic discourse, yet it has often been left under-defined from a sociolinguistic perspective. This volume presents the contributions of a wide range of scholars who exchanged their views on the topic at a conference in Freiburg, Germany, in November 2011. The authors address three leading questions: What are the local meanings of authenticity embedded in large cultural and social structures? What is the meaning of linguistic authenticity in delocalised and/or deterritorialised settings? How is authenticity indexed in other contexts of language expression (e.g. in writing or in political discourse)? These questions are tackled by recognised experts in the fields of sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, and contact linguistics. While by no means exhaustive, the volume offers a large array of case studies that contribute significantly to our understanding of the meaning of authenticity in language production and perception.

An investigation into the beliefs speakers have about language—their de lingua beliefs—that examines the genesis of these beliefs and the central explanatory role they play in the use and understanding of language. Speakers, in their everyday conversations, use language to talk about language. They may wonder about what words mean, to whom a name refers, whether a sentence is true. They may worry whether they have been clear, or correctly expressed what they meant to say. That speakers can make such inquiries implies a degree of access to the complex array of knowledge and skills underlying our ability to speak, and though this access is incomplete, we nevertheless can form on this basis beliefs about linguistic matters of considerable subtlety, about ourselves and others. It is beliefs of this sort—de lingua beliefs—that Robert Fiengo and Robert May explore in this book. Fiengo and May focus on the beliefs speakers have about the semantic values of linguistic expressions, exploring the genesis of these beliefs and the explanatory roles they play in how speakers use and understand language. Fiengo and May examine the resources available to speakers for generating linguistic beliefs, considering how linguistic theory characterizes the formal, syntactic identity of the expressions linguistic beliefs are about and how this affects speakers' beliefs about coreference. Their key insight is that the content of beliefs about semantic values can be taken as part of what we say by our utterances. This has direct consequences, examined in detail by Fiengo and May, for explaining the informativeness of identity statements and the possibilities for substitution in attributions of propositional attitudes, cases in which speakers' beliefs about coreference play a central role.

This jaunty, fictional story connects mystical imagination with mysterious fantasy as the author merges sensual realism with mature emotions. With a sweep of her hand, Rachel Cook wakes up poignant dreams and questions the unexpected realities of the characters she meets on the blue elevator of her condominium. Set in the residence of the writer, the Ortega Yacht Club Condominiums in Jacksonville, Florida, fanatical actions revolve around fictional characters, as a chance meeting on the blue elevator maneuvers the fates of the two main characters. Adele Dell Marie Bell (Septuagenarian) is a writer who discovers that everyone has a tale to tell. She has retired and plays with the minds of her friends and acquaintances as she writes romantic fast reads (and would rather eat and enjoy life, than diet and suffer). Robert Andrew Andy McIntosh (Thirty), a wandering, unemployed chef, is the grandson of her deceased neighbor Pansy, who owned an ostrich farm in Ocala, Florida. This odd couple unconsciously ignores convention as fate; food, fun, and fantasy pull their unparallel lives together for a short time, introducing mystery to shine up rusting pieces of them. Now dont go jumping to conclusions, the first inkling of this unbalanced relationship is not what you are thinking when the heart of an obnoxious neighbor is stolen (with a steak knife)! Dells aging imagination is rekindled as the mystery of the unbridled heart thief unravels, drawing the two main characters into an intriguing story. Adele Marie Bell, the quirky writer of romance novels (pseudonym, Rochelle) accepts the challenge of writing the story as she unwinds a twisted journal given to her by her neighbor (Andys eccentric grandmother), Pansy Oag McIntosh. The journals untethered words wets her journalistic appetitive, and she is served an appetizer (a human heart); an entre (Thanksgiving dinner, broiled ostrich on an ostrich farm in Ocala, Florida); a main course (a three-star dinner in Paris, France, that reveals Andys curved heritage). And for a delightful dessert, Andy himself dishes up pen and ink answers to delectable questions! Adele Marie Bell writes notes in a journal as she tunnels into the buried past of Andys dysfunctional family, digging up, and recording the reclusive secrets of his tightly wound grandmother (Pansy). Her talent for romantic expression and intrigue is left challenged, as Pansys rambling journal reveals a webbing of jangled words that leaves difficult questions unanswered, telling young Andy he is not who he thinks he is! The writer wets the readers appetite, salivating taste buds, as Andys gourmet talents cook up surprisingly lip-smacking results, and the two become unlikely cell mates. These two dimensional characters invite word-hungry readers to dine with them in the neighborhoods most popular restaurants as they uncover secrets lurking behind the doors of the condominium and glamorize the art of dining for pleasure, versus eating to fill the gut. Tasty words unravel a yummy mystery that keeps the readers tummy grumbling for more, and loves definition breaks all rules as it unfolds with astonishing realism, making the reader think endings are not such a bad thing . . . Rachel Cook scraps below the surface of her characters, using her mature power of words to enamor her readers with surprises, knowing that every life is a tale to be told.

In this Marine combat memoir, Steve Johnson recounts his service in Vietnam from April 1967 to May 1968. Only 17 when he enlisted in 1964, Johnson deployed to Vietnam with the 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, and his tour included such now famous locations as Phu Bai, Khe Sanh, Nha Trang and Quang Tri, among others.

Details are plentiful about tactics, equipment, geography and, always, fellow Marines.
