The title PARVA NATURALIA goes back to the Latin Middle Ages, and though the traditional grouping doesn't include the treatise ON THE MOTION OF ANIMALS, it is included here, since there is strong manuscript evidence, as well as solid substantive reasons, that it ought to be included. For those who wish to study the PARVA NATURALIA with care, it offers access that has hitherto been unavailable in English to the precise meaning of Aristotle's text.

Through the intimacy of personal letters, this primary-source exploration of the Civil War era tells the compelling story of the young men and women of a North Georgia farming family of modest means as they seek places in their quiet communities in the 1850s, live the trauma of the Civil War on the battlefield and at home, and for those who survive, strive to regain peace in a changed world and begin life anew. Their writing concerns Baptist camp meetings, courting rituals, war-rousing speeches, dashes across battlefields, Tories on the home front, and night riders of the Ku Klux Klan.

The Great War of 1914-1918 did not have to last four years. By early 1916, after eighteen months of unprecedented slaughter, the belligerent nations of Europe stood at a crossroads. Their armies were bleeding, their economies collapsing, their populations exhausted. A negotiated peace remained possible, indeed, necessary for their very survival. Yet the men who held Europe's fate in their hands chose to keep digging the grave.

A great amount of ink has been spilled attempting to understand and make sense of Henry David Thoreau. Some people dismiss Thoreau as a mere Romantic nature poet or writer of travel narratives. The purpose of the essays in this anthology is to explore the multifaceted ways in which Thoreau's thought could be considered philosophical. He wanted to create a distinctive American identity that sought to venerate nature by trying to overcome our anthropocentric bias and place the value of wild spaces before the utilitarian needs of human civilization.

Until now, a daily account (1,630 days) of Georgia's social, political, economic, and military events during the Civil War did not exist. During the 160 years since the conflict's termination, many fine accounts of wartime Georgia have rolled off various presses. Each daily entry derives from a quill scrolling the parchment or a press imprinting type on the day the activity occurred. Maps, footnotes, a detailed index, and bibliographical references will aid those wanting more.

When the Lane cake, named after Emma Rylander Lane (1856-1904), appeared in Harper Lee's TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (1960), the boozy Southern dessert was at peak popularity. Yet the culinary artist behind the cake had fallen into obscurity. FROM BISCUITS TO LANE CAKE recovers Lane's biography, as well as the recipes she published in SOME GOOD THINGS TO EAT (1898) and the Columbus Enquirer-Sun.

Holly Haworth "trace[s] the moon through the traceless sky" in a meditation on time's cyclical nature and how it slips away--and on writing as a way of time-keeping, poetry a tool for etching memory. Mournful lament and exuberant praise, THE WAY THE MOON compels us to stop in our tracks and savor even the losses.
