Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study examines southern Maryland's twenty-first century cultural landscape during a period of agricultural diversification prompted by Maryland's tobacco buyout. Looking principally at St. Mary's County, a jurisdiction in Southern Maryland that has been growing tobacco for over 370 years, this interdisciplinary inquiry probes the changing currents of agricultural knowledge and policy, cultural memory as well as landscape amidst the buyout program. Thomas Kuhn's notion of a "paradigm shift" provides an epistemological framework for considering the buyout as a shift in the cultural paradigms of policymakers and farmers alike towards a more "sustainable" model. It is argued that the implications of this shift not only express themselves within the buyout's development and implementation, but also the physical landscape and cultural memory of the farming community as well. To probe the respective paradigm shifts, this work examines the nineteenth and twentieth century historical and agricultural policy contexts that preceded the buyout. These contexts reveal an incremental pattern of social, economic, and cultural change within both the policymaking and agricultural communities. Arising out of these communities, the buyout's polices are examined to understand the organizational planning behind agricultural restructuring and how these efforts have destabilized tobacco culture. A "reading" of the county's cultural landscape through a study of tobacco barns and oral histories provides the methodological basis for exploring the traditional elaborations behind agricultural knowledge. This case study analyzes the interwoven relationships between land use, agricultural knowledge and policy, cultural landscape change, as well as memory and identity to anticipate how tobacco growing communities in states such as Tennessee, North Carolina, and Kentucky may respond to the recently implemented federal buyout program. On a broader scale, the study contemplates the role of traditional knowledge in modern agricultural practice in the United States and how the traditional understandings behind tobacco production are being conserved in community memory and on the landscape of St. Mary's County"--P. xii.

This book was released on 2018-06-30 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tobacco in Colonial Virginia "The Sovereign Remedy" by G. Melvin Herndon "The Sovereign Remedy" Tobacco was probably first brought to the shores of England from Florida by Sir John Hawkins in 1565. Englishmen were growing it by the 1570's, and after the return of the daring Sir Francis Drake to England with a large quantity of tobacco captured in the West Indies in 1586, the use of tobacco in England was increased substantially. By 1604 its consumption had become so extensive as to lead to the publication of King James' Counter Blast, condemning the use of tobacco; nevertheless, six years later the amount brought into Great Britain was valued at £60,000. Some of the colonists were probably acquainted with tobacco before they landed at Jamestown and found the Indians cultivating and using it under the name of uppowoc or apooke. However, it was not until 1612 that its cultivation began among the English settlers, even in small patches. Previously their attention had been centered entirely on products that could be used for food. Captain John Smith wrote that none of the native crops were planted at first, not even tobacco. The story of tobacco in Virginia begins with the ingenious John Rolfe. He was one of the many Englishmen who had come to enjoy the fragrant aroma and taste of the imported Spanish tobacco; and upon his arrival at Jamestown in May, 1610, Rolfe found that tobacco could be obtained only by buying it from the Indians, or by cultivating it. There seems to have been no spontaneous growth then as now. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tobacco use kills more people than any other addiction and we know that addiction starts in childhood and youth. We all agree that youths should not smoke, but how can this be accomplished? What prevention messages will they find compelling? What effect does tobacco advertisingâ€"more than $10 million worth every dayâ€"have on youths? Can we responsibly and effectively restrict their access to tobacco products? These questions and more are addressed in Growing Up Tobacco Free, prepared by the Institute of Medicine to help everyone understand the troubling issues surrounding youths and tobacco use. Growing Up Tobacco Free provides a readable explanation of nicotine's effects and the process of addiction, and documents the search for an effective approach to preventing the use of cigarettes, chewing and spitting tobacco, and snuff by children and youths. It covers the results of recent initiatives to limit young people's access to tobacco and discusses approaches to controls or bans on tobacco sales, price sensitivity among adolescents, and arguments for and against taxation as a prevention strategy for tobacco use. The controversial area of tobacco advertising is thoroughly examined. With clear guidelines for public action, everyone can benefit by reading and acting on the messages in this comprehensive and compelling book.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.
