The People & Places of the Adirondacks collection contains a variety of story types: original works of hard history, the lives of unusual people, noteworthy accomplishments, groundbreaking inventions, remarkable mishaps, oddities, and humor. They all have one thing in common: each is rooted in the North Country, defined here as the Adirondacks and foothills. The region's past is filled with relative or complete unknowns who were, in fact, highly accomplished individuals. Many of the chapters here reveal their stories, which are well worth preserving. Those and others are presented with a purpose that is threefold: to educate, amuse, and entertain. In this volume: Hats for Horses: Was it Really a Thing? You Bet!; The Mandrake Tupper Family's Remarkable Civil War Record; Chicken Theft: Once a Prison-Worthy Crime; Catamount Mountain: A Dynamite Movie Role; Homing Pigeons in the Adirondacks; Eddie "Phat Boy" Babbage: Big, Bold, and Beloved; The Greatest Rescue in Adirondack History; An Adirondack Photograph Makes Newspaper History; Ticonderoga Canines: Doggone Good Friends; Lake Champlain Fishing Shanties: Faster than a Speeding Bullet ...; John C. Austin: Wanted--But was He Dead or Alive?; No Bones Were Broken: True Tales of Tumbling Linemen; Rouses Point, Border Village: So Many Famous Visitors!; Garrett Cashman: The Birdman of Albany; George Cheney: Pioneer Recorder of World Music; Fecund Families of the North Country; Henry Harrison Markham: Wilmington to West Coast Governor; Rooftop Highway Déjà Vu; The Dueling Sheriffs of Hamilton County; Robert Emmett Odlum: Public-Safety Daredevil; Thomas William Symons: Building America from Coast to Coast; Rock Eaters? No Way ... But Anything Else Will Do!; Adirondack Swindles: Deceptive and Detestable; North Country vs. KKK: Battling in the Streets; It was Nearly Pok-O-Rushmore!; John L.

New York's mountainous Adirondack region, once considered foreboding and impassable, has evolved during the last three centuries into a desirable place for people to live and visit. Native Americans, trappers, hunters, and anglers first arrived to tap the wilderness resources offered by the Adirondack Mountains. Lumbermen, miners, and tannery workers settled the back woodlands to harvest the logs, dig the minerals, and collect the hemlock bark. Others came to clear trees and farm the land, and settlements soon dotted the landscape. The travelling public found the healthy, pure air and the beautiful mountains with miles of waterways a welcomed alternative to the hot, smoky cities. The tourist industry grew and flourished with hotels, cabins, cottages, summer homes, and wealthy estates spreading throughout the six million acres of Adirondack Park. Communities also continued to thrive as visitors found the area impossible to leave. Adirondack People and Places celebrates this mountainous country where the wilderness truly became a place for people.

This book brings together researchers from different fields, traditions and perspectives to examine the ways in which place and space might (be) unsettle(d). Researchers from across the humanities and social sciences have been drawn to the study of place and space since the 1970s, and the term ‘unsettled’ has been an occasional but recurring presence in this body of scholarship. Though it has been used to invoke a range of meanings, from the dangerous to the liberating, the term itself has rarely been at the centre of sustained examination. This collection highlights the idea of the unsettled in the scholarly investigation of place and space. The respective chapters offer a dialogue between a diverse and eclectic group of researchers, crossing significant disciplinary and interdisciplinary boundaries in the process. The purpose of the collection is to juxtapose a range of different approaches to, and perspectives on, the unsettling of place and space. In doing so, Interdisciplinary Unsettlings of Place and Space makes an important contribution and offers new insights into how scholarship and research into different fields and practices may help us re-envision place and space.

"This book of metaethics focuses on Catholic virtue theory. To create an ecological model through which we can imagine the human moral character, the book integrates concepts of ecology with Aquinas' vision of moral character. The book describes the dynamics of a moral character in terms of the processes and functions that take place in an ecosystem. The virtues parallel species and other aspects of ecosystems, and other participants, such as the passions, the will, and the intellect, are also described in terms of this model. The book is a creative project with a solid and documented scholarly foundation. It aims to begin a conversation about a rarely discussed aspect of virtue ethics. The images we use to think about moral character are powerful. They inform our understandings of the moral virtues and the ways in which moral character develops. The book asks readers to choose deliberately the models we use to imagine moral character and offers this ecological virtue model as a good example for our own time"--
