Barns of New England by Jeffrey E Blackman Pdf

A photographic keepsake of life in New England. Jeffrey Blackman follows his successful Covered Bridges of New England with this companion volume that highlights the iconic barns of the same region. Rather than being postcard-perfect, these photos depict the real life of New England and its farming community with the same keen eye that informed Blackman’s photos of abandoned gas pumps and pickup trucks in Out of Gas. New England barns are icons; unlike barns of other regions, they possess a unique character and a special vernacular. Often hewn from trees cleared when the farms were first established, these barns were built to reflect and accommodate the needs of each different farm. Working farms in the sometimes harsh, always beautiful New England countryside now seem to be a vanishing species, and so the New England barn is also vanishing. If you remember what it was like to take a road trip as a child, how exciting it was to turn a corner and suddenly spy a beautiful red barn in a lush green pasture, you will appreciate this collection. It’s a bit of New England’s best to enjoy anytime, no matter where you are.

The Big House by George Howe Colt Pdf

Faced with the sale of the century-old family summer house on Cape Cod where he had spent forty-two summers, George Howe Colt recounts returning for one last stay with his wife and children in this stunning memoir that was a National Book Award Finalist and a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. This poignant tribute to the eleven-bedroom jumble of gables, bays, and dormers that watched over weddings, divorces, deaths, anniversaries, birthdays, breakdowns, and love affairs for five generations interweaves Colt’s final visit with memories of a lifetime of summers. Run-down yet romantic, The Big House stands not only as a cherished reminder of summer’s ephemeral pleasures but also as a powerful symbol of a vanishing way of life.

The Poetry Home Repair Manual by Ted Kooser Pdf

Recently appointed as the new U. S. Poet Laureate, Ted Kooser has been writing and publishing poetry for more than forty years. In the pages of The Poetry Home Repair Manual, Kooser brings those decades of experience to bear. Here are tools and insights, the instructions (and warnings against instructions) that poets—aspiring or practicing—can use to hone their craft, perhaps into art. Using examples from his own rich literary oeuvre and from the work of a number of successful contemporary poets, the author schools us in the critical relationship between poet and reader, which is fundamental to what Kooser believes is poetry’s ultimate purpose: to reach other people and touch their hearts. Much more than a guidebook to writing and revising poems, this manual has all the comforts and merits of a long and enlightening conversation with a wise and patient old friend—a friend who is willing to share everything he’s learned about the art he’s spent a lifetime learning to execute so well.

American Barns by Jan Corey Arnett Pdf

The heart of every working farm and ranch, the barn is an icon of rural America. This book chronicles – and celebrates – all the main types, and looks at how these treasures of early American architecture developed. It explains how a wealth of immigrant construction methods and range of environments and climates resulted in a fascinating variety of barn styles in the United States, from the earliest rare Dutch examples to simpler English types and others in more surprising shapes (round or even polygonal) crafted by the Shakers in the 1800s. It highlights the most notable, famous and historic barns that the reader can visit, and features the efforts of conservation groups to preserve America's barns and find innovative ways to repurpose these glorious old structures as homes and studios – and as living monuments of rural heritage.

The Refinement of America by Richard Lyman Bushman Pdf

This lively and authoritative volume makes clear that the quest for taste and manners in America has been essential to the serious pursuit of a democratic culture. Spanning the material world from mansions and silverware to etiquette books, city planning, and sentimental novels, Richard L. Bushman shows how a set of values originating in aristocratic court culture gradually permeated almost every stratum of American society and served to prevent the hardening of class consciousness. A work of immense and richly nuanced learning, The Refinement of America newly illuminates every facet of both our artifacts and our values.
