Yale University Press County Durham
Book SynopsisA comprehensive guide to County Durham, one of Northern England’s most fascinating and architecturally diverse countiesTrade Review“This exhaustive and scholarly book makes discovering this cornucopia a revelation and a delight.”—Simon Heffer, The Telegraph“You should arrive at Escomb church on foot...I grew hungry to see it whilst eagerly sampling the 900-page new volume, County Durham, part of the Pevsner Buildings of England series, revised and amplified by Martin Roberts. It is a strong invitation to a holiday in the county.”—Christopher Howse, The Telegraph“What a lush and plush book it is. Half as large again as the previous edition, which dated back to 1983, it is uncommonly handsome and scholarly.”—Lucinda Lambton, The Oldie“The 70 pages devoted to the Durham Cathedral and Castle precinct would make an excellent guidebook alone...Period images and engravings are reproduced, complementing the new colour photography which captures the range and diversity of the county.”—Greg Finch, Hexham Local History Society Newsletter“Delightful enthusiasm is combined with thorough fieldwork — every building has been visited, many have been measured and important aspects researched, especially craftsmen working for the Church. Roberts is an authority on the county’s parks and gardens as well as its vernacular architecture…A superb achievement.”—Adrian Green, Vernacular Architecture “This new volume of County Durham…is now greatly enhanced. It will remain a treasured and essential work for all those with an interest in the heritage of the county and the architectural history of England more generally and is likely to be so for decades to come.”—Martin Lowe, Journal of Historic Buildings and Places“Martin Roberts, assisted by his son Will, who took most of the superb photographs in the book, has produced a revelatory account, elegantly written and stamped with his knowledge of and affection for one of England's least well-known counties.”—Kenneth Powell, The Victorian

University of California Press A Peoples Guide to Orange County
Book SynopsisOne of the Top Urban Planning Books of 2022,PlanetizenThe full and fascinating guidebook that Orange County deserves. A People's Guide to Orange County is an alternative tour guide that documents sites of oppression, resistance, struggle, and transformation in Orange County, California. Orange County is more than the well-known images on orange crate labels, the high-profile amusement parks of Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm, or the beaches. It is also a unique site of agricultural and suburban history, political conservatism in a liberal state, and more diversity and discordance than its pop-cultural images show. It is a space of important agricultural labor disputes, segregation and resistance to segregation, privatization and the struggle for public space, politicized religions, Cold War global migrations, vibrant youth cultures, and efforts for environmental justice. Memorably, Ronald Reagan called Orange County the place where all the good Republicans go to die, but it is also the place where many working-class immigrants have come to live and work in its agricultural, military-industrial, and tourist service economies. Orange County is the fifth-most populous county in America. If it were a city, it would be the nation's third-largest city; if it were a state, its population would make it larger than twenty-oneother states. It attracts 42 million tourists annually. Yet Orange County tends to be a chapter or two squeezed into guidebooks to Los Angeles or Disneyland. Mainstream guidebooks focus on Orange County's amusement parks and wealthy coastal communities, with side trips to palatial shopping malls. These guides skip over Orange County's most heterogeneous halfthe inland space, where most of its oranges were grown alongsideoil derricks that kept the orange groves heated. Existing guidebooks render invisible the diverse people who have labored there. A People's Guide to Orange County questions who gets to claim Orange County's image, exposing the extraordinary stories embedded in the ordinary landscape.Trade Review"Their project applies political acumen to a practical regional guidebook featuring wayback machine–style micro-histories that reveal the county’s depth and breadth. . . . Meticulously, almost giddily cross-referenced, A People’s Guide to Orange County offers sources for every one of its 122 listings: scholars, journalists, poets, and activists. Entries include photographs, maps, archival materials, song lyrics, and protest chants. The idea is to uncover, piece by piece and location by location, the story of—forgive me—the real OC." * Alta Journal *"In the public imagination Orange County either has no history at all, or it consists of tract homes, Disneyland, and Republicans. All of those things are true. But, A People's Guide masterfully, and accessibly, demonstrates that Orange County's history runs far deeper—and that it matters." * Planetizen *Table of ContentsContents Land Acknowledgment List of

Johns Hopkins University Press Back on Track
Book SynopsisA fascinating account of one of America's most important industries and its dangers. Throughout the early twentieth century, railroad safety steadily improved across the United States. But by the 1960s, American railroads had fallen apart, the result of a regulatory straightjacket that eroded profitability and undermined safety. Collisions, derailments, worker fatalities, and grade crossing mishaps skyrocketed, while hazmat disasters exploded into newspaper headlines. In Back on Track, his sequel to Death Rode the Rails, Mark Aldrich traces the history of railroad accidents beginning in 1965, when Congress responded to bankrupt and scandal-ridden carriers by enacting a new safety regime. Aldrich details the federalization of rail safety and the implementation of a massive grade crossing program. He touches on post-1976 economic deregulation, which provided critical financing that underwrote better public safety. He also explores how the National Transportation Safety Board acted as aTrade ReviewMark Aldrich provides a comprehensive review of U.S. railroad safety, including major wrecks, regulatory changes, and technological innovations . . . The author intertwines encyclopedic knowledge of U.S. railroad accidents with a discussion that outlines how market forces, technological advancement, and regulations influenced railroad safety.—Cody Nehiba and Alexander Luttmann, EH.NetTable of ContentsList of FiguresList of TablesPrefaceIntroduction1.
