Download or read book Road Art A Different View of Back Roads written by T. J. J. Faust and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-08 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Road Art is a trip. It is a journey to a familiar place that we all use and yet to a part hidden from most. The vehicles for this trip are our eyes, an evocative imagination and some previous work done by artists who didn't realize what they are doing: The local town and state public works departments. Every year roads are torn up due to usage, the elements (frost, ice, water running off, ect.) or other forms of damage, and have to be repaired. Sometimes the entire road gets gutted and the 4-6 layers are replaced, sometimes milling machines are used to remove the surface and then a new layer of pavement is put down and other times just the cracks are filled with tar which delays larger potholes from forming. It is those tar filled cracks that take us on the visual odyssey found within this book and make unwitting artists out of the men and women that maintain our roads so that we can enjoy our time driving: be it the commute to work, taking the kids to school, sports and other activities or just a Sunday drive, without all to many bumps. Road Art introduces us to another dimension or perhaps just a slower persons view of those filled cracks, one that brings to life the all but unnoticed parts of many of our roads and shows us the birds, dancers, acrobats, dragons, monkeys, lovers, fairies, trees and much more. Discover the hidden world of Road Art within the pages and enjoy the accompanying facts, quotes and compositions in this wonderful work that will open your mind and reveal to you a new perspective of the world around us.

William Least Heat-Moon set out with little more than the need to put home behind him and a sense of curiosity about "those little towns that get on the map -- if they get on at all -- only because some cartographer has a blank space to fill: Remote, Oregon; Simplicity, Virginia; New Freedom, Pennsylvania; New Hope, Tennessee; Why, Arizona; Whynot, Mississippi." His adventures, his discoveries, and his recollections of the extraordinary people he encountered along the way amount to a revelation of the true American experience.

Download or read book Back Roads written by Tawni O'Dell and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE Funny and heartbreaking, this New York Times bestselling debut perfectly captures the maddening confusion of adolescence and the prickly nature of family with irony and unerring honesty. Harley Altmyer should be in college having the time of his life. He should be free from the backwards Pennsylvania coal town he calls home, with its lack of jobs and no sense of humor. Instead, he’s constantly reminded of just how messed up everything is... Harley’s mother is in prison for killing his father, so he’s in charge of bringing up his younger sisters and working two jobs to pay the bills—and that doesn’t leave a lot of time for distractions. But lately, he’s getting more and more sidetracked by lusting after Callie Mercer, his middle-aged neighbor. As he struggles to keep it together, things begin to spin out of control. Soon Harley finds that as shattered as his family is, there are still more crushing surprises in store. “In Harley, O’Dell has created a hero who’s heartbreakingly believable; like Holden Caulfield, he uses caustic humor to hide his pain. Readers will care very much about him and his future, if indeed he has one.”—St. Petersburg Times

Download or read book The National Road written by Tom Zoellner and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of "eloquent essays that examine the relationship between the American landscape and the national character" serves to remind us that despite our differences we all belong to the same land (Publishers Weekly). “How was it possible, I wondered, that all of this American land––in every direction––could be fastened together into a whole?” What does it mean when a nation accustomed to moving begins to settle down, when political discord threatens unity, and when technology disrupts traditional ways of building communities? Is a shared soil enough to reinvigorate a national spirit? From the embaattled newsrooms of small town newspapers to the pornography film sets of the Los Angeles basin, from the check–out lanes of Dollar General to the holy sites of Mormonism, from the nation’s highest peaks to the razed remains of a cherished home, like a latter–day Woody Guthrie, Tom Zoellner takes to the highways and byways of a vast land in search of the soul of its people. By turns nostalgic and probing, incisive and enraged, Zoellner’s reflections reveal a nation divided by faith, politics, and shifting economies, but––more importantly––one united by a shared sense of ownership in the common land.
