Saving the Environment
How did one crab apple tree lead to a forest? How do mangrove swamps help to prevent flooding? How did a handful of horseshoe crab eggs lead to a conservation campaign? Read this book to find out the answers to these questions and more.
A Selfish Man
Like its predecessor, 'Millennial Projections' (1982), this volume of short prose also contains sixteen pieces, and again it is an intensely philosophical and ideological project that is, however, more self-consciously avant-garde and determined to allow subjectivity, whether in first-person narrative or thought processes, its share of the limelight. This is especially so of the title piece, but it's also characteristic, on a completely different structural basis, of the last piece, 'Twelve Thinkers', who have more in common than might at first seem to be the case!
Tales Side Up
TALES SIDE UP is volume two of John O'Loughlin's Collected Short Prose and is comprised of three prior books dating from 1982-4. The title is a pun on tails, since the first volume was entitled 'Two Sides of the Same Coin' and that more or less metaphysical coin persists here with even greater ideological intensity, if on a basis excluding any heads-like commitment to an aphoristic appendix, as with Vol.1, and therefore concerned with a kind of fictional presentation of the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism.
300 Years of the French in Old Mines
The village of Old Mines is the oldest settlement in the state of Missouri. Lead miners were in Old Mines as early as 1719. The founding of Old Mines in 1723 coincides with the land grant awarded to Philippe Francois Renault by French authorities on June 26, 1723, to mine lead. Thus, the oldest village in Missouri began as a mining town. In 2023, the village marks three hundred years of the French in Old Mines. This book narrates the history of people in remote Louisiana and how they have kept alive a French heritage of culture and customs. The history of Old Mines is tightly bound to the Catholic faith the French settlers brought with them, the parish they founded, and the church, schools, rectories, and convents they built. The decade of the 2020s is filled with over twenty anniversaries to be marked and celebrated in the oldest mining town in Missouri, itself marking its Bicentennial in 2021. This is not a scholarly writing of history; it is a thirty-chapter narrative, grounded in research, of the continual presence of the French in Old Mines for three hundred years.
Notebooks
Meticulously edited and annotated, Tennessee Williams's notebooks follow his growth as a writer from his undergraduate days to the publication and production of his most famous plays, from his drug addiction and drunkenness to the heights of his literary accomplishments.
Focus Groups
Physicians, health researchers, and nurses make extensive use of focus groups. Thus, researchers and readers need access to the realm of applications of focus group methodology in the wide variety of medical and health sciences. In this second installment of a two-volume examination of ten recent years (1998-2007) of focus group studies and research literature, author Graham R. Walden turns his attention from the arts, humanities, and non-medical sciences to the medical and health sciences, concentrating on a broad range of studies in books, book chapters, and journal articles that are available in English.

Collected Short Prose
Having already published short stories or, as John O'Loughlin (with his philosophical bias) prefers to call them, 'short prose' in two volumes of 'Collected Short Prose', viz. Two Sides of the Same Coin & Tales Side Up, the former of which included, as per custom back then, an aphoristic appendix, this author decided to republish them in one volume (minus the aphorisms) for convenience's sake, in the interests, one might say, of structural and thematic continuity together with a certain prosy purism that sets definite bounds to the scope and style of the contents, dovetailed, as they are, into a somewhat voluminous but nonetheless highly accessible project whose material spans the period 1976–84, during which virtually all of his fictional writings, including several novels, or works of 'long prose', were composed. – A Centretruths Editorial
