Framing the New South as a battleground for environmental stewardship, this book challenges the notion that post-Civil War southerners prioritized economic growth over resource conservation. It reveals how business leaders and public officials sought to balance profit with environmental quality through the concept of "permanence." This idea sparked conflicts among various stakeholders as they navigated the complexities of resource use, ultimately influencing the development of the modern South. The narrative highlights the intricate relationship between economic ambitions and environmental considerations.
She's just along for a fun truck ride, but it spirals into chaos. Can she excavate her bravery and creativity from the snowdrifts to survive the mountain snowstorm? Anna grew up avoiding conflict with her mama and fell into the same passive habit with her loving, easy-going husband instead of speaking up about her own dreams. Now, she worries as David's behavior becomes unpredictable, and lack of communication has piled up between them like a snowdrift. He invites Anna to join him on the road in his 18-wheeler, and she jumps at the chance to reconnect and have fun again. When a Colorado mountain blizzard hits, David's irrational decisions put them in jeopardy. Will they die before Anna confronts both these unexpected storms?
"When Lisa Bryan began meal prepping several years ago, she quickly became bored eating leftovers and was wasting food. At the same time, she realized she needed to 'downshift' the accelerated pace of her life. Seeking balance, she made dietary changes, eating more vegetables and simple proteins, while eliminating gluten (she has celiac disease), processed foods, and reducing refined sugar. Then she flipped the script on meal prep by focusing on individual ingredients. On a whim, she posted a video to YouTube which went viral and she realized how many people were out there, just like her, who wanted a fresh approach to meal planning. By prepping a handful of ingredients at the start of the week--such as flaked salmon, zucchini noodles, peas, prosciutto, soft-boiled eggs, and roasted veggies--and then mixing and matching them throughout the week, she found that she could enjoy a variety of meals and snacks (Creamy Salmon Zoodles, Peas and Prosciutto with Jammy Eggs, and Strawberries, Avocado, and Arugula Salad) without getting fatigued. Lisa's debut cookbook is packed with 100 simple and ingenious, big-batch recipes that can either be frozen or repurposed into delicious meals without resembling leftovers. A dinner of light coconut chickpea curry with rice can be enjoyed the next day atop a tortilla for a crispy tostada at lunch, or as a chickpea shakshuka for breakfast. All of the recipes are gluten-free, low in refined sugar; many are naturally anti-inflammatory, and dairy is minimal and optional. Lisa's approachable method for eating well and preparing meals with ease will inspire home cooks to downshift, too--at least when it comes to making healthy meals without a fuss"-- Provided by publisher
