Book Description

Doug Aitken makes art at the edge of the world, with a kind of primitivism and ritualism unusual for video but mysteriously present in work that hovers at the edge where desert meets sea. Rise presents stills and installation shots from rise, the mirror, moving, these restless minds, 2-second separation, and i am in you, alongside an essay and interview with the artist.

A Moment in Time.......2001-07-08

This book was recommended by a friend who is mentioned in the book. Otherwise I probably would not have bought it. However I found it easy to read and very enlightening. I graduated from high school in 1962 from a small town in the South. Although my path took me a different direction; I was fascinated by Dick Reavis' accounts of his experiences at voter registration in a small Southern town. He is certainly very honest in his portrayal of his contributions to the movement. Learning more about the struggles of the college students and the people in the city where they worked helped me have a better understanding of the issues they were trying to help change. I was very naive back then and quite frankly unaware of some of the restrictions that were imposed on African Americans at that time. Thanks for enlightening me. I intend to do more reading on this important chapter in American history.

Thomas R. Allison, MOONSHINE MEMORIES
True stories from rural Alabama

Moonshine Memories
Thomas R. Allison
Manufacturer: NewSouth, Inc.
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback

Federal Jurisdiction | Administrative Law | Law | Subjects | Books

Book Description

For twenty-five years, Tom Allison was a revenuer, a federal agent charged with enforcement of the nation's laws on taxation of liquor. His territory was the hills, hollows and deep woods of Alabama, and his quarry was the illegal whiskey makers. Allison remembers the stake-outs in the brush, the undercover assignments, the long waits to catch the distillery operators red-handed, and, of course, the chases as he and his fellow treasury agents ran down fleeing moonshiners in the dark of night. While Allison is a natural story-teller, the characters who populate this history are too strange to be fiction.

Thomas R. Allison, MOONSHINE MEMORIES.......2001-05-16

Some time back a Montgomery friend asked me to read a memoir that had been written by a former agent for the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division (ATF) of the IRS -- a "revenuer" as they once were called. The author was Thomas R. Allison. Since much of Allison's career had been spend in northeast Alabama, my friend figured I would be interested, and he was right. So the manuscript was delivered. I read it. Encouraged my friend to encourage the author, and that was all I heard of it until a few months ago, when a copy of Moonshine Memories arrived on my desk, along with a note thanking me for all I had done. Understand this. I didn't do anything. This is the author's work and he should be justly proud. Begun as a way to tell his grandchildren about the life he led, Allison's tales grew into a full-fledged account of the one of the most legend-filled conflicts in southern history -- the cat and mouse contest between moonshiners and revenue agents. It is the story of lawmen chasing rumors, of stake-outs, of raids, of successes, and of failures, of excitement and danger, of painstaking investigations and boring dead-ends. Anyone who loves a good adventure story will love this book. But there is more to Moonshine Memories than ripping good yarns. Woven into the stories is one of the best accounts of how the illegal liquor business worked and how the men assigned to stop it did their job. Here is a look into an aspect of southern culture that, until now, has been obscure if not unknown. If you want to know what inspired songs like "Mountain Dew" and "Thunder Road," read this book. Best of all, if you like to read about southern "personalities," this book is for you. It is a fact that law enforcement and law breaking are two professions that attract unique individuals, some of whom could easily move from one profession to the other, and frequently did. Allison captures these people in print and reveals to readers a cast of characters that will delight and perplex. To sum it up, in Moonshine Memories Thomas Allison tells a good story, a funny story, an exciting story. But more than that, the story he tells preserves a part of Alabama history that is both important and entertaining. What began as a legacy for his grandchildren has become a legacy for us all.

True stories from rural Alabama.......2001-04-27

Tom Allison has written a great book about the ATF's work in rural Alabama and Tennessee in busting illegal liquor. There is a lot fo humor in this book and plenty of very interesting characters, all true. I understand that this was written as a memoir, but ended up being very popular. It is definitely worth reading.

A Mansion's Memories

Manufacturer: University Alabama Press
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Hardcover

General | Education | Nonfiction | Subjects | Books

Book Description

An engaging history of The University of Alabama President’s Mansion

“Mathews has done an excellent job in putting on paper the lore of the house she so obviously learned to love.”

—Tuscaloosa News

“The mansion has watched history for more than a century; it has overheard the conversations of its residents and guests; it has seen itself change architecturally on the outside and decoratively on the inside; it has witnessed the destruction of the Civil War, difficulties during both World Wars, and student demonstrations that accompanied the Vietnam War; and it has captured the sights and sounds of its age in serving as host to more than 25,000 people who visit it annually from around the world. . . . Mathews tells its story with sensitivity and insight that come only from having been a part of its inner circle.”

—Alabama Living

“Amusing, informative, delightful. . . . Mathews [has an] easy-to-read, down-to-earth style.”

—Chattanooga News-Free Press

As part of The University of Alabama’s 175th anniversary celebration (2006), the new edition of A Mansion’s Memories includes details of the tenures of the four presidents who have served since the Mathews term. Profusely illustrated with 69 black-and-white and 17 color photographs, this classic is sure to be welcomed anew by alumni and friends of the University and all lovers of fine old buildings that still function in their original capacities.

“With fascinating anecdotes the author brings alive those who peopled the President's Mansion and reminds us that some university problems, especially financial ones, are perennial. This book will again charm readers.”

—Sarah Woolfolk Wiggins, author of Love and Duty: Amelia and Josiah Gorgas and Their Family

Mary Chapman Mathews is retired Executive Director of Carillon Historical Park in Dayton, Ohio, and the wife of former University of Alabama President David Mathews.

Americans coming of age in the 1960s faced a society in flux: attitudes about sex, race, and politics were radically changing; revolution was in the air and the nation seemed fractured, unable to find a common cause to unite its fragmented people. Author Deborah E. McDowell grew up near Birmingham, Alabama, the crucible of the civil rights movement, and the remarkable Leaving Pipe Shop is a memoir of those years. What distinguishes Pipe Shop from similar books is McDowell's emphasis on the everyday lives of ordinary people inhabiting that time and place. Martin Luther King, Ralph Abernathy, and George Wallace make only cameo appearances in this account; the main players on McDowell's stage are the members of her family, her church, and her neighborhood.

"Pipe Shop" refers to the black working-class neighborhood in Bessemer (just outside of Birmingham) where Deborah McDowell grew up. Her book begins with her return to Pipe Shop to investigate her father's death, part of the class-action lawsuit filed by victims of asbestos poisoning against the steel mill where he once worked. McDowell's trip home elicits plenty of memories--how her neighbors reacted to bus boycotts and boycotts of white-owned businesses, going to hear Martin Luther King speak, and the murder of her own activist pastor. Leaving Pipe Shop is an evocative portrait of one African American community's struggle to cope with the changes that swept through a nation.

Book Description

In the illuminating language of memory, Deborah McDowell tells the story of her family, living a segregated life in Bessemer, Alabama, where her father worked at U.S. Foundry and Pipe, nicknamed Pipe Shop. Through the intimate details of their daily lives, she shows us how civil rights affected a working-class town, among three generations of women and men. McDowell movingly uncovers a world rarely portrayed, where she was raised to love the sounds and meanings of words and to value a place and culture that has passed.

Customer Reviews:

long lasting pleasure grows from the reading of this book........1997-05-04

McDowell has written a talking book. The dialog brings the people to life and gave this reader the feeling of accompanying the author on visits to her community. Matriarchial society, authoritarian upbringing of children, love and caring, laughter and sadness as well as the events of the 50's and 60's are memorably brought into focus. I urge you not to ignore this little-known gem of a book
