Guidelines and technical standards for development of local erosion and sediment control programs and conservation standards to meet the goals established by the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control law are presented in this handbook. Part I defines natural and manmade erosion, sedimentation, and the hazards of uncontrolled wear and damage to the land. Part II provides guidelines for erosion and sediment control planning and plans, submission of plans to local and State authorities, and activities which require approved plans. Comprising most of the handbook, part III contains standards and specifications for a variety of erosion and sediment control practices for use on construction sites and similarly disturbed areas. Control practices generally fall into two categories, vegetative and mechanical. Mechanical control practices include structural and material specifications for dikes, drains, outlets, grading, and other control methods. Vegetative practices to stabilize disturbed areas include plantings, seeding, sod, and other protection methods. Parts IV and V contain the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Commission's requirements for State agency projects and for local control programs. The handbook also lists references and a glossary of representative terms used in conservation activities. Numerous tables, drawings, photographs, and figures supplement the information in the handbook. (MF)

1Anarchism and Other Essays

By Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman (1869-1940) was an anarchist known for her political activism, writing and speeches. She played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. Born in Russia, Goldman emigrated to the US in 1885 and lived in New York City, where she became a writer and a renowned lecturer on anarchist philosophy, women's rights, and social issues, attracting crowds of thousands. Goldman was imprisoned several times for "inciting to riot" and illegally distributing information about birth control. In 1906, Goldman founded the anarchist journal Mother Earth. In 1910, she collected a series of speeches and items she had written for Mother Earth and published <i>Anarchism and Other Essays</i>. In addition to a comprehensive look at anarchism and its criticisms, the book includes essays on patriotism, women's suffrage, marriage, and prisons. (summary extracted from Wikipedia)

3Anarchism and Other Essays (Version 2)

By Emma Goldman

Emma Goldman, the most famous anarchist in American history, shows the whole range of her iconoclastic thought in this collection of essays. Drawing from a wealth of illustrative material, including the examples of fellow anarchists and radicals of her own acquaintance, modern martyrs, dissident playwrights, poets, and authors, etc., she delineates the main themes of her philosophy with incisiveness and evangelical passion. Included among these themes are: a definition of decentralized anarchism itself; the ambiguous morality of direct action; the curse of modern patriotism; the horrors of early twentieth-century prisons; the need for an entirely new kind of education; the relationship of legal marriage to true love; the insidious danger of Puritanical thought within feminism itself; the deadly spread of sex trafficking; the limitations or even undesirability of woman suffrage; and the extraordinary revolutionary potential of modern theatre. Sadly, none of these themes seem obsolete even to a modern reader; every one of them has direct application to twenty-first century society. - Summary by Expatriate
