Ronald L. Lewis's book uses this largely forgotten episode as a window into contests over political, environmental, and legal change in turn-of-the-century Appalachia. The Eastham-Thompson feud pitted a former Confederate against a member of the new business elite who was, as a northern Republican, his cultural and political opposite. For Lewis, their clash was one flashpoint in a larger phenomenon central to US history in the second half of the nineteenth century: the often violent imposition of new commercial and legal regimes over holdout areas stretching from Appalachia to the trans-Missouri West. Taking a ground-level view of these so-called "wars of incorporation," Lewis's powerful microhistory shows just how strongly local communities guarded traditional relationships to natural resources. Modernizers sought to convict Eastham of murder, but juries drawn from the traditionalist population refused to comply. Although the resisters won the courtroom battle, the modernizers eventually won the war for control of the state's timber frontier"--Provided by publisher.West Virginia and Appalachia.NATURE / Natural ResourcesbisacshPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Labor & Industrial RelationsbisacshHISTORY / United States / 19th CenturybisacshTrials (Murder)West VirginiaWest VirginiaHistory19th centuryElectronic books.

The present volume is a collection of articles based on some of the lectures delivered at the School on ‘Laser Physics and Technology’ organized at Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology during March, 12-30, 2012. The objective of the School was to provide an in-depth knowledge of the important aspects of laser physics and technology to doctoral students and young researchers and motivate them for further work in this area. In keeping with this objective, the fourteen chapters, written by leading Indian experts, based on the lectures delivered by them at the School, provide along with class room type coverage of the fundamentals of the field, a brief review of the current status of the field. The book will be useful for doctoral students and young scientists who are embarking on a research in this area as well as to professionals who would be interested in knowing the current state of the field particularly in Indian context.Springer Proceedings in Physics,1867-4941 ;160LasersAtomsMoleculesElectrodynamicsLaserAtoms and molecules in external fieldsClassical ElectrodynamicsLasers.Atoms.Molecules.Electrodynamics.Laser.Atoms and molecules in external fields.Classical Electrodynamics.530535.2537.6539621.36Gupta Pradeep Kumaredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKhare Rajeevedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300419103321Laser Physics and Technology1771446UNINA
