Author: Tom A. Cullen File Type: pdf Horror ran through the land, reads a contemporary account. Men spoke of it with bated breath, and pale- lipped women shuddered as they read the dreadful details. People afar off smelled blood, and the superstitious said that the skies were of a deeper red that autumn... It was the autumn of 1888, and England, still slightly hung over from the previous years celebration of Queen Victorias Golden Jubilee, watched with apprehension as her grandson, Wilhelm II, ascended the throne of Germany.But it was not the advent of Kaiser Wilhelm that caused men to speak with bated breath or drained the color from the lips of their womenfolk. It was not the prospect of war, distant in 1888, that caused some to imagine that they could smell blood from afar. The horror which ran through the land and caused cranks to speak of a re- visitation of Cain was inspired by a series of murders quite without parallel in the annals of crime. The autumn of 1888 was the period when a mysterious killer was abroad in the streets of Londons East End, striking down his women victims without warning, slitting their throats, mutilating their bodies in hideous fashion, and escaping through police cordons to murder again. Jack the Ripper was the name which he gave to himself, and by which he was to be known to posterity. It is a name which still strikes chill to the heart.

Author: Sharon White File Type: epub New to living and gardening in Philadelphia, Sharon White begins a journey through the landscape of the city, past and present, in Vanished Gardens. In prose now as precise and considered as the paths in a parterre, now as flowing and lyrical as an Olmsted vista, White explores Philadelphias gardens as a part of the citys ecosystem and animates the lives of individual gardeners and naturalists working in the area around her home.In one section of the book, White tours the gardens of colonial botanist John Bartram his wife, Ann and their son, writer and naturalist William. Other chapters focus on Deborah Logan, who kept a record of her life on a large farm in the late eighteenth century, and Mary Gibson Henry, twentieth-century botanist, plant collector, and namesake of the lily Hymenocallis henryae. Throughout White weaves passages from diaries, letters, and memoirs from significant Philadephia gardeners into her own striking prose, transforming each place she examines into a palimpsest of the underlying earth and the human landscapes layered over it.White gives a surprising portrait of the resilience and richness of the natural world in Philadelphia and of the ways that gardening can connect nature to urban space. She shows that although gardens may vanish forever, the meaning and solace inherent in the act of gardening are always waiting to be discovered anew.**

Author: Brandon Labelle File Type: pdf Acoustic Territories Sound Culture and Everyday Life offers an expansive reading of auditory life. It provides a careful consideration of the performative dynamics inherent to sound culture and acts of listening, and discusses how auditory studies may illuminate understandings of contemporary society. Combining research on urbanism, popular culture and auditory issues, Acoustic Territories opens up multiple perspectives - it challenges debates surrounding noise pollution and charts an acoustic politics of space by unfolding auditory experience as located within larger cultural histories and related ideologies.Brandon LaBelle traces auditory life through a topographic structure beginning with underground territories, through to the home as a site, and then further, to streets and neighborhoods, and finally to the sky itself. This structure follows sound as it appears in specific auditory designs, as it is mobilized within various cultural projects, and queries how it comes to circulate through everyday life as a medium for social transformation. Acoustic Territories uncovers the embedded tensions and potentiality inherent to sound as it exists in the everyday spaces around us. **
