Book excerpt: After being buried for thirty-one years under fallen trees in a forest as the result of a severe hurricane, a 1936 Hudson is discovered by two hikers, Karen Conroy and Neil Warner. While looking over the badly rusted remains of the car, they come across an item that turns out to be a major contributor to a teen aged girls disappearance that happened thirty-one years earlier and any hopes until now of learning what happened to her had been all but exhausted. The story then traces back to the time when the Hudson was new and the various owners lives during the time that they owned the car and leads up to the present day when a detective learning of the new evidence becomes involved and after reopening the case, is obsessed with solving the girls mysterious vanishing. He has a grown daughter of his own and cannot imagine the stress and sadness the girls family had endoured over those years.

Download or read book Fire Management in the American West written by Mark Hudson and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most journalists and academics attribute the rise of wildfires in the western United States to the USDA Forest Service's successful fire-elimination policies of the twentieth century. However, in Fire Management in the American West, Mark Hudson argues that although a century of suppression did indeed increase the hazard of wildfire, the responsibility does not lie with the USFS alone. The roots are found in the Forest Service's relationships with other, more powerful elements of society--the timber industry in particular. Drawing on correspondence both between and within the Forest Service and the major timber industry associations, newspaper articles, articles from industry outlets, and policy documents from the late 1800s through the present, Hudson shows how the US forest industry, under the constraint of profitability, pushed the USFS away from private industry regulation and toward fire exclusion, eventually changing national forest policy into little more than fire policy. More recently, the USFS has attempted to move beyond the policy of complete fire suppression. Interviews with public land managers in the Pacific Northwest shed light on the sources of the agency's struggles as it attempts to change the way we understand and relate to fire in the West. Fire Management in the American West will be of great interest to environmentalists, sociologists, fire managers, scientists, and academics and students in environmental history and forestry.

Download or read book The Hudson written by Tom Lewis and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hudson River has always played a vital role in American culture. Flowing through a valley of sublime scenery, the great river uniquely connects America's past with its present and future. This book traces the course of the river through four centuries, recounting the stories of explorers and traders, artists and writers, entrepreneurs and industrialists, ecologists and preservationists-those who have been shaped by the river as well as those who have helped shape it. Their compelling narratives attest to the Hudson River's distinctive place in American history and the American imagination. Among those who have figured in the history of the Hudson are Benedict Arnold, Alexander Hamilton, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, the Astors and the Vanderbilts, and Thomas Cole of the Hudson River school. Their stories appear here, alongside those of such less famous individuals as the surveyor who found the source of the Hudson and the engineer who tried to build a hydroelectric plant at Storm King Mountain. Inviting us to view the river from a wider perspective than ever before, this entertaining and enlightening book is worthy of its grand subject.
