Environment Management
Man's close inter-relationship with his environment implies that he must respect the inviolability of the Earth's self-correcting mechanisms that, while fairly robust, cannot long endure abuse. However, industrial society with its insatiable craving for more and more energy, for production as well as propulsion has caused enormous environmental degradation. Modern society needs machines, which need energy, which in turn need fuel&the root cause of Man's deliverance as well as being his nemesis. Deforestation, a depleted ozone layer, unprecedented climatic changes, droughts, floods, poisoned ground water, vast tonnages of non-biodegradable solids and chemical vapours injected into the environment, cancers all warn that a better model of industrial and social development is needed. More than mere legislation, what is required is a holistic view of progress per se. This book vividly describes the process by which pollution has become such a horrifying part of our lives. In decrying the western path to development that set the trend, it argues for a return to a saner world-view, making this captivating book a riveting encounter for laymen, students, researchers and policy makers alike.

Mama Rose's Turn
Hers is the show business saga you think you already know--but you ain't seen nothin' yet. Rose Thompson Hovick, mother of June Havoc and Gypsy Rose Lee, went down in theatrical history as "The Stage Mother from Hell" after her immortalization on Broadway in Gypsy: A Musical Fable. Yet the musical was 75 percent fictionalized by playwright Arthur Laurents and condensed for the stage. Rose's full story is even more striking. Born fearless on the North Dakota prairie in 1891, Rose Thompson had a kind father and a gallivanting mother who sold lacy finery to prostitutes. She became an unhappy teenage bride whose marriage yielded two entrancing daughters, Louise and June. When June was discovered...
Cajun Literature and Cajun Collective Memory
How does Cajun literature, emerging in the 1980s, represent the dynamic processes of remembering in Cajun culture? Known for its hybrid constitution and deeply ingrained oral traditions, Cajun culture provides an ideal testing ground for investigating the collective memory of a group. In particular, francophone and anglophone Cajun texts by such writers as Jean Arceneaux, Tim Gautreaux, Jeanne Castille, Zachary Richard, Ron Thibodeaux, Darrell Bourque, and Kirby Jambon reveal not only a shift from an oral to a written tradition. They also show hybrid perspectives on the Cajun collective memory. Based on recurring references to place, the texts also reflect on the (Acadian) past and reveal th...
