Daniel Boone's window : poems / by Wimberley, Matthew,1989-author.;
"Daniel Boone's Window, the second book of poetry by Matthew Wimberley, meditates on the past and future of contemporary Appalachia through explorations of a too often mythologized place and people. In poems that confront a region indelibly shaped by environmental turmoil, economic erasure, and the weight of an outside world intent on destroying it, Daniel Boone's Window works to reclaim and reckon with the realities and complexities of Appalachia. At the heart of this collection are poems about family and memory-lines that turn their gaze outward, beyond the mountain passes and dense forests of the poet's home state and into an uncertain world and future. Along the way, Wimberley makes from memory and myth a new map, with a newly charted course for contemporary Appalachian poetry"--

The best of R.A. Lafferty / by Lafferty, R. A.,author.(CARDINAL)148665;
"Acclaimed as one of the most original voices in modern literature, a winner of the World Fantasy Award for lifetime achievement, Raphael Aloysius Lafferty (1914-2002) was an American original, a teller of acute, indescribably loopy tall tales whose work has been compared to that of Avram Davidson, Flannery O'Connor, Flann O'Brien, and Gene Wolfe. The Best of R. A. Lafferty presents 22 of his best flights of offbeat imagination, ranging from classics like "Nine Hundred Grandmothers" (basis for the later novel) and "The Primary Education of the Cameroi," to his Hugo Award-winning "Eurema's Dam." Introduced by Neil Gaiman, the volume also contains story introductions and afterwords by, among many others, Michael Dirda, Samuel R. Delany, John Scalzi, Connie Willis, Jeff VanderMeer, Kelly Robson, Harlan Ellison, Michael Swanwick, Robert Silverberg, Neil Gaiman, and Patton Oswalt"--

Let it shine : the 6,000-year story of solar energy. by Perlin, John,author.(CARDINAL)147854; Jacobson, Mark Z.(Mark Zachary),writer of foreword.;
"The definitive history of solar power and technology. Even as concern over climate change and energy security fuels a boom in solar technology, many still think of solar as a twentieth-century wonder. Few realize that the first photovoltaic array appeared on a New York City rooftop in 1884, or that brilliant engineers in France were using solar power in the 1860s to run steam engines, or that in 1901 an ostrich farmer in Southern California used a single solar engine to irrigate three hundred acres of citrus trees. Fewer still know that Leonardo da Vinci planned to make his fortune by building half-mile-long mirrors to heat water, or that the Bronze Age Chinese used hand-size solar-concentrating mirrors to light fires the way we use matches and lighters today. With thirteen new chapters, Let It Shine is a fully revised and expanded edition of A Golden Thread, John Perlin's classic history of solar technology, detailing the past forty-plus years of technological developments driving today's solar renaissance. This unique and compelling compendium of humankind's solar ideas tells the fascinating story of how our predecessors throughout time, again and again, have applied the sun to better their lives -- and how we can, too"--Cover, page 4.Includes bibliographical references (pages 455-497) and index.
