  • Description

    In the last decade, school shootings have decimated communities and terrified parents, teachers, and children in even the most “family friendly” American towns and suburbs. Rampage challenges the “loner theory” of school violence, and shows why so many adults and students miss the warning signs that could prevent it.Drawing on more than 200 interviews with town residents, distinguished sociologist Katherine Newman and her co-authors take the reader inside two of the most notorious school shootings of the 1990s, in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and Paducah, Kentucky.

  • Attribution

    Mara Leveritt

  • Publication Details

    Book, Atria Books, 2002

  • Description

    On the evening of May 5, 1993, in the small town of West Memphis, Arkansas, three eight-year-old boys disappeared. Damien and Jason both denied Jessie’s account, and Jessie himself recanted it within hours, but by then all three had been charged with the murders. With no physical evidence connecting anyone to the crime, prosecutors contended that the murders bore signs of “the occult” and that the three accused teenagers possessed a “state of mind” that pointed to them as the killers.

The Health Of The Country : How American Settlers Understood Themselves And Their Land

  • The Health Of The Country : How American Settlers Understood Themselves And Their Land

  • Attribution

    by Conevery Bolton Valencius

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Basic Books, 2002

  • Description

    Many have written about the settling of early 19th century America, but until now no one has explored these settlers’ self-consciousness about what they were doing, what “settling” and cultivating the land itself meant. In The Health of the Country, Conevery Valencius shows that assessments of the “sickliness” or “health” of land pervade settlers’ letters, journals, newspapers, and literature–evidence of the common sense of another time, when land was believed to have intrinsic health characteristics and the human body was understood to be linked in intimate and intricate ways with similar balances in the surrounding world.
