THE PERCEPTIONS, PRACTICES, AND POLICIES THAT GOVERN FOOD, ENERGY, AND WATER CONSUMPTION IN THE U.S. SUBURBAN HOME: “MORE THAN MY FAIR SHARE”

This dissertation addresses household consumption by advancing understandings of complex material, social, and regulatory structures that have a bearing on the future of sustainable and resilient practices at the residential scale in the United States. Interviews with 44 households in the U.S. were conducted to learn about perceptions of food, energy, and water consumption. Chapters two, three, and four utilize grounded theory and theories of practice. This inquiry yielded insights into social dynamics of household consumption, how human and more-than-human actors influence each other’s consumption, and how infrastructure and social class are interrelated. Chapter five is a policy maker’s guidebook, inspired by the interviews, to help small municipalities adopt ordinances that encourage sustainable practices on residential properties and to improve household consumption. The results of this research have implications for recognizing, shifting, and developing new sustainable and resilient practices in households

For Honor, Glory, and Union: The Mexican and Civil War Letters of Brig. Gen. William Haines Lytle

Cincinnati native William Haines Lytle volunteered for service in the Mexican War in late 1847. A pro-states\u27 rights Democrat with strong family ties to Kentucky, he nevertheless chose to protect and defend the Union upon the outbreak of the Civil War. Lytle\u27s Mexican War service primarily consisted of garrison duty, but during the Civil War he became known for his courage under fire and his devotion to his troops. He saw combat at Carnifex Ferry and Perryville, and was killed at Chickamauga while leading a valiant charge to stop Confederate troops storming through an opening in Union lines. His letters detail the ferocity of action on the western front and offer a glimpse of the interaction between Union officers and Southern civilians in the border states. Ruth C. Carter was head of the Archives Service Center and curator of Historical Collections for the University of Pittsburgh Library System. Shows a Union soldier working to reconcile his southern sympathies with his root allegiance to the Union. —McCormick (SC) Messenger Carter’s edition of the letters of General William Lytle helps us understand why many partisan Democrats who despised abolitionists and Republicans, supported states’ rights, and respected southerners and the South, decided to fight and, in Lytle’s case, die for what they believed to be their nation. —Van Hall This is one book that should be on the shelf of every Civil War buff or scholar as a prime example of the so many promising young lives lost in the war. —West Virginia History His observations and commentary are valuable additions to knowledge of the concluding campaigns of the war. —Choice A remarkable, engaging work of superb scholarship, and an invaluable contribution to the growing body of Civil War literature. —The Midwest Book Reviewhttps://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_military_history/1007/thumbnail.jp
