The Anvil Rings II: Answers to Alleged Bible Discrepancies (Anvil Rings)

Customer Reviews:

Days were long on the prairie in the early 1900's........1999-10-01

An excellent account of life from the generations not so distant behind us. The author is also my Grandmother, her oldest daughter is my Mother. I have never met anyone who is so forgiving as this woman and since she was not a gossip, I had no idea of some of her less attractive memories, such as when they moved and the relatives came to the end of their driveway but would not talk to them. Grandma Geneva worked hard from the time she was young, but it was never more apparent than from her hilltop home where she raised and sold iris, the same home in which she died. Everyone should be so lucky as to have this information to pass on to their offspring. This book was a little hard to get through because it is written like a journal, however, a movie could be made due to the detail of her day to day life.

one heck of a book.......1999-10-01

This book was written by my great grandma. It shows how life was for her growing up. I have heard a lot about many of the stories in the book and i never tire of them. I recamend this book because it is well written and the author is not well known but will always be in my heart

A great account of life on the prairie of the United States........1998-11-22

I enjoyed this book very much because it is my Grandma Wilson whowrote it. I have heard all of these stories many, many times throughout my life. Grandma believed in family history and the importance of knowing where you came from and the people that made you who you are. I do think her story shows how harsh life could be, but also, how people made the very best of it and "rolled with the punches".

Book Description

Social scientists have studied foods in many different ways. Historians have most often studied the history of specific foods, and anthropologists have emphasized the role of food in religious rituals and group identities. Sociologists have looked primarily at food as an indicator of social class and a factor in social ties, and nutritionists have focused on changing patterns of consumption and applied medical knowledge to study the effects of diet on public health. Some scholars from these and other disciplines have studied the economic and political connections created around commerce in food, regionally and around the world. Now, all of these perspectives are brought together in a single volume. Fifteen specialists currently working in Canada, England, France, Guatemala, Norway, and the United States come together to apply their expert knowledge of food and food consumption in a new context, global history. In general essays and case studies, they reflect on the connections across space and time in what people eat and assess historical patterns of change in the human diet. The book begins with a consideration of the relationship between food and global history. Part One considers the global history of the ecology of food production, the contrasting impact of New World foods on India and China, the effects of global tourism, and the interaction between identity, migration, and diet. The selections in Part Two study the impact of public policy, comparing the countries of the former Soviet bloc with Scandinavia and Western Europe, analyzing the effects of international assistance on West Africa, and looking at changes in childhood nutrition in developing countries. Chapters in Part Three study nutritional change, the dietary effects of increased wealth, and the "Mad Cow" crisis in terms of global systems. Part Four investigates the relationship of global change to the ideologies and practices of the family meal, of food and cultural identity in Japan, and the American counterculture.

Brands help explain why, in a world focused on science and new technology, several of the world's multinational corporations have little to do with either. Rather they are old firms with little critical investment in patents or copyrights. For these firms, the critical intellectual property is trademarks. Global Brands explains how the world's largest multinationals in alcoholic beverages achieved global leadership; the predominant corporate governance structures for firms' marketing-based industries; and why these firms form alliances with direct competitors.

Book Description

Robert P. Clark develops in this book a global life systems perspective that delineates how biological forces mutually reinforce one another--and what their globalization has meant for both human society and the biosphere. While he resists biological determinism, Clark traces interconnected developments among population, disease, agriculture, trade, fuels, and other life systems to more thoroughly explore and elucidate the globalization of human endeavors within an ever evolving context of nature and environment.

Book Description

This study of banana contract farming in the Eastern Caribbean explores the forces that shape contract-farming enterprises everywhere—capital, the state, and the environment. Employing the increasingly popular framework of political ecology, which highlights the dynamic linkages between political-economic forces and human-environment relationships, Lawrence Grossman provides a new perspective on the history and contemporary trajectory of the Windward Islands banana industry. He reveals in rich detail the myriad impacts of banana production on the peasant laborers of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Grossman challenges the conventional wisdom on three interrelated issues central to contract farming and political ecology. First, he analyzes the process of deskilling and the associated significance of control by capital and the state over peasant labor. Second, he investigates the impacts of contract farming for export on domestic food production and food import dependency. And third, he examines the often misunderstood problem of pesticide misuse. Grossman's findings lead to a reconsideration of broader debates concerning the relevance of research on industrial restructuring and globalization for the analysis of agrarian change. Most important, his work emphasizes that we must pay greater attention to the fundamental significance of the "environmental rootedness" of agriculture in studies of political ecology and contract farming.
