Louisiana (i/luːˌiːziˈænə/ or i/ˌluːziˈænə/; French: État de Louisiane, [lwizjan]; Louisiana Creole: Léta de la Lwizyàn) is a state located in the southern region of the United States. Louisiana is the 31st most extensive and the 25th most populous of the 50 United States. Its capital is Baton Rouge and largest city is New Orleans. Louisiana is the only state in the U.S. with political subdivisions termed parishes, which are the local government's equivalent to counties. The largest parish by population is East Baton Rouge Parish, and the largest by land area is Plaquemines. Louisiana is bordered by Arkansas to the north, Mississippi to the east, Texas to the west, and the Gulf of Mexico to the south.
Much of the state's lands were formed from sediment washed down the Mississippi River, leaving enormous deltas and vast areas of coastal marsh and swamp. These contain a rich southern biota; typical examples include birds such as ibis and egrets. There are also many species of tree frogs, and fish such as sturgeon and paddlefish. In more elevated areas, fire is a natural process in the landscape, and has produced extensive areas of longleaf pine forest and wet savannas. These support an exceptionally large number of plant species, including many species of orchids and carnivorous plants.
A university press is an academic publishing house specializing in academic monographs and scholarly journals. Most are nonprofit and an integral component of a large research university. They publish work that has been reviewed by scholars in the field. They produce mainly scholarly works, but also often have "popular" titles, such as books on religion or on regional topics. Because scholarly books are mostly unprofitable, university presses may also publish textbooks and reference works, which tend to have larger audiences and sell more copies. Most university presses operate at a loss and are subsidized by their owners; others are required to break even. Demand has fallen as library budgets are cut and the online sales of used books undercut the new book market. Many presses are experimenting with electronic publishing.
Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press are the two oldest and largest university presses in the world. They have scores of branches around the world, especially throughout the British Commonwealth.

Folksinger and storyteller Adam Miller at Tsunami Books, Eugene, Oregon, March 16, 2014.

This song was sung on the "Joe Fowler" and the "Nesbit," steamboats that plied the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. I learned it from one of my favorite folksingers, Art Thieme.

Installment 5 of the Great American Traditional Songbook: Alberta is a traditional ballad of the American South according to Mary Wheeler's book "Steamboatin' Days: Folk Songs of the River Packet Era," (Baton Rouge, La.: Louisiana State University Press, 1944). This would date the song somewhere between the late 1860's to 1900 if we are to believe it was a song sung by steamboat workers. More recently this ballad had a resurgence in the American Folk Music Revival in the late 1950's and was recorded by Bob Dylan, Burl Ives, Doc Watson, Odetta and even Bonanza's Pernell Roberts. Blues Project also covered the tune in 1965.This song is not to be confused with the Eric Clapton cover of Alberta - the Snooks Eaglin variation of the song.

With Peder Anker, Fred Turner, and Jodi Dean. Moderated by Astra Taylor. In the contemporary age we’re seeing the disappearing habitat of public institutions, and the invasive species of networked digital communication or as Fred Turner puts it in the context of exhibitions, “the democratic surround”, as a particular mode of display. Against a backdrop of economic and environmental disruption, what kind of communicative, visual, and discursive habitats are disappearing, and what kinds are appearing in its place? This panel looks at the ways the media environment-- exhibitions, design and communication systems-- influences how we see what is natural in the autopoietic habitats of the contemporary. * * * * * * * * * * * Peder Anker is a historian of environmental sciences, specializing i...
