  • Since I Began Reading the Work of Steve Ditko I Wanted to Have a Checklist So I Could Catalogue the Books I Had Read but Most Im
    Since I began reading the work of Steve Ditko I wanted to have a checklist so I could catalogue the books I had read but most importantly see what other original works by the illustrator I can find and enjoy. With the help of Brian Franczak’s vast Steve Ditko compendium, Ditko-fever.com, I compiled the following check-list that could be shared, printed, built-on and probably corrected so that the fan’s, whom his work means the most, can have a simple quick reference where they can quickly build their reading list and knowledge of the artist. It has deliberately been simplified with no cover art and information to the contents of the issue. It was my intension with this check-list to be used in accompaniment with ditko-fever.com so more information on each publication can be sought when needed or if you get curious! The checklist only contains the issues where original art is first seen and printed. No reprints, no messing about. All issues in the check-list are original and contain original Steve Ditko illustrations! Although Steve Ditko did many interviews and responded in letters to many fanzines these were not included because the checklist is on the art (or illustration) of Steve Ditko not his responses to it. I hope you get some use out of this check-list! If you think I have missed anything out, made an error, or should consider adding something visit then email me at ditkocultist.com One more thing… share this, and spread the art of Steve Ditko! Regards, R.S.

    ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Heather Dawn Alexander The Graduate School University of Kentucky 2008 UPLAND OAK AND RED MAPLE: COMMUNITY RESPONSE AND ECOSYSTEM EFFECTS IN THE PRESENCE AND ABSENCE OF FIRE DISTURBANCES ______________________________________________ ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION ______________________________________________ A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Kentucky By Heather Dawn Alexander Director: Dr. Mary A. Arthur, Professor Lexington, Kentucky 2008 Copyright © Heather Dawn Alexander 2008 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION UPLAND OAK AND RED MAPLE: COMMUNITY RESPONSE AND ECOSYSTEM EFFECTS IN THE PRESENCE AND ABSENCE OF FIRE DISTURBANCES FIRE Shifts in forest canopy composition are increasingly common due to invasive pests and pathogens, climate change, and altered disturbance regimes. Development of restoration strategies aimed at mitigating these changes is critical, but research should also assess ecosystem-level implications given failed or limited restoration efforts. In historically oak-dominated forests of the eastern U.S., fire suppression has increased competition from fire-sensitive species, leading to decreased understory light and oak (Quercus spp.) regeneration problems. Prescribed fire is often used to remedy these conditions and encourage oak establishment and growth, but the efficacy of this strategy remains questionable. This dissertation describes changes in understory light and upland oak and competitor seedling survival, growth, and foliar morphology and chemistry in response to single and repeated (3x) prescribed fires over a 6-yr period (2002-2007) within eastern Kentucky. Prescribed fires led to high mortality and reduced growth of white oaks (Leucobalanus spp.), but a single burn with high burn temperatures and overstory mortality enhanced red oak (Erythrobalanus spp.) seedling growth.

Brinton © 2011 Anne Y. Brinton Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2011 The dissertation of Anne Y. Brinton was reviewed and approved* by the following: William A. Blair The College of the Liberal Arts Research Professor Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Anthony E. Kaye Associate Professor of History Nan E. Woodruff Professor of History Lovalerie King Associate Professor of English and Women’s Studies and Director of the Africana Research Center David G. Atwill Professor of History and Director of Graduate Studies *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT This dissertation engages with recent scholarship on the slaveholding household and on struggles over the terms of labor as slavery underwent its internal collapse. Slavery stood at the crux of Border State political economies and political identities on the eve of Civil War. Vigorous markets in hiring and sale distributed widespread access to enslaved labor, disrupted black familial and social life, and stood as a terrain of struggle across which both white and black identities were articulated. Border State emancipation, no less traumatic than its Confederate counterpart(s), nonetheless took a different path. Recent scholars have observed that in much of the Confederacy, wartime emancipation was neither secure nor absolute. In the loyal Border States, it was more fraught yet. Slaves and ex-slaves struggled to navigate the overlapping terrains of federal policy, civil law, and the market in their labor as they began to lay the material and ideological foundations of free households.

  • DEEP PURPLE Hard Road: the Mark 1 Studio Recordings 1968-69 Die Ersten Drei Alben Der Originalbesetzung in Einer 5-CD-Box! Mit Vielen Bonus-Tracks! VÖ: 25
    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 040-5149 1465 [email protected] DEEP PURPLE Hard Road: The Mark 1 Studio Recordings 1968-69 Die ersten drei Alben der Originalbesetzung in einer 5-CD-Box! Mit vielen Bonus-Tracks! VÖ: 25. Juli 2014 Sie ging als Mark I-Line-Up in die Geschichte DEEP PURPLEs ein: Die Gründungsbesetzung mit Rod Evans (Vocals), Ritchie Blackmore (Guitar), Jon Lord (Keyboards), Nick Simper (Bass) und Ian Paice (Drums). Drei Alben entstanden in knapp einem Jahr, die allesamt Meilensteine der Rockmusik waren und den Boden für eine der erfolgreichsten Hardrock-Bands aller Zeiten bereiteten, aus der später weitere Legenden hervorgingen: Rainbow, Whitesnake und natürlich fünf Jahrzehnte DEEP PURPLE in mehrfach wechselnden Besetzungen. Hard Road: The Mark 1 Studio Recordings 1968-69 präsentiert einen umfassenden Blick auf die frühen Jahre von DEEP PURPLE in der allerersten Originalbesetzung, die nur 15 Monate bestand hatte. Ihren ersten Auftritt hatten sie am 20. April 1968 in Dänemark, das letzte Konzert in dieser Besetzung folgte schon am 4. Juli 1969 in Cardiff. Dazwischen lag eine Zeit übersprudelnder Kreativität und die Vorbereitung dessen, was später als Hardrock, Progrock und Heavy Metal zur Blüte gelangte. Das Box-Set enthält satte 62 Tracks und ein 48-seitiges Booklet, das einen tiefen Einblick in die hektischen Anfänge von DEEP PURPLE gibt. Im Oktober 1968 wurde das Debüt Shades Of Deep Purple veröffentlicht, das in einer einzigen, 18-stündigen Session aufgenommen wurde und sich in den USA auf Platz 24 katapultierte, nachdem die Single „Hush“ Platz 4 in den USA erreicht hatte.
