A history of the pottery industry in Alberta, which began around the turn of the century in Medicine Hat, where clay deposits and natural gas were abundant. This is a dramatic story of temperamental entrepreneurs who were fierce rivals and who had fires, world wars, a depression, high freight rates and cheap imports to contend with.

Why allow yourself to be dominated linguistically by the lowest common denominator? If the 607 words in this book have fallen out of common use in the English language, it is neither from design nor function; it is from too many of us being reluctant to use a word which our listeners or readers might not understand. Jack's Handy List of Words, and its 607 often lighthearted illustrative sentences, is intended to reverse this trend, bring many of the interesting words back into more common use, and allow the reader to have fun learning or re-learning the intricacies of a higher vocabulary in English. It hits the mark from A to Z.

Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Fiction. African &amp; African American Studies. Latinx Studies. Native American Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Women's Studies. Building on previous projects centered on the pedagogy of poets, and friendship through correspondence, LOST &amp; FOUND SERIES VII breaks new ground to present unpublished and presently unavailable materials by novelist, filmmaker, and activist Toni Cade Bambara; iconic poet-activist-teachers Audre Lorde and June Jordan; scholar, activist, and poet Dr. Jack D. Forbes, and letters between North American poet and translator Paul Blackburn and Argentinian in exile novelist, poet, and translator Julio Cortázar. While Cortázar and Blackburn forged their own institution of sorts, through a friendship that would help ignite the Latin American boom, Forbes, Bambara, Jordan, and Lorde worked in and out of institutions to help transform the landscape of our educational and historical horizons and expectations. For some years Bambara, Jordan, and Lorde all taught together in the City University of New York, the largest urban system in the United States, collaborating with activist students and other faculty to create new curriculum in Black Studies, Ethnic Studies, and Women's Studies. At the same time, Blackburn also taught part-time at City University, while bringing the vision of another world into American English, through his translations of Cortázar, a champion of the Cuban revolution and a writer of unparalleled influence in Latin America. On the other side of the country, Dr. Jack Forbes's vision of hemispheric Indigenous life was brought to bear on his involvement in the creation of D-Q University, the first Indigenous university in California, as well as the creation of Native American Studies at UC Davis, a program that would be emulated at other universities in North America. At the same time, his extraordinary and almost unknown poetry, featured here along with notable materials on his educational activism, presents a vision of Los Angeles cutting across race, class, and ethnicity that the work of all the writers in this Series help us realize. SERIES VII Includes: Audre Lorde: "I teach myself in outline," Notes, Journals, Syllabi, &amp; an Excerpt from Deotha (edited by Miriam Atkin and Iemanjá Brown) Toni Cade Bambara: "Realizing the Dream of a Black University," &amp; Other Writings (Parts I &amp; II) (edited by Makeba Lavan and Conor Tomás Reed) June Jordan "Life Studies," 1966-1976 (edited by Conor Tomás Reed and Talia Shalev) Jack Forbes: "Yanga Ya," Selected Poems &amp; The Goals of Education (Parts I &amp; II) (edited by William Camponovo) Paul Blackburn &amp; Julio Cortázar: "Querido Pablito"/"Julissimo Querido," Selected Correspondence, 1958-1971 (Parts I &amp; II) (edited by Ammiel Alcalay, Jacqui Cornetta, Alison Macomber, and Alexander Soria)
