Story
Jimmy Lee Hickam grew up along Red Dog Road, a dead-end strip of gravel and mud buried deep in the bowels of Appalachian Ohio. It is the poorest road, in the poorest county, in the poorest region of the state. To make things worse, the name Hickam is synonymous with trouble. Jimmy Lee hails from a heathen mix of thieves, moonshiners, drunkards, and general anti-socials that for decades have clung to both the hardscrabble hills and the iron bars of every jail cell in the region. This life, Jimmy Lee believes, is his destiny, someday working with his drunkard father at the sawmill, or sitting next to his arsonist brother in the penitentiary.

Story
Between 1821 and 1826, the prolific writer and journalist William Cobbett travelled the countryside of the South of England on foot and horseback. Rural Rides is a fascinating account of his journeys, and depicts a way of life in transition, juxtaposing lyrical descriptions of the countryside with criticism of the poverty of agricultural workers. A man of radical politics who encouraged the rural rising of 1830, Cobbett went on to become MP for Oldham and sought to represent the interests of both industrial and agricultural workers. Above all, Rural Rides celebrates agrarian England.

Story
"Irma vit dans une vallée entourée de montagnes. Les montagnes sont habillées d’épaisses forêts. Elle habite dans une maison avec son grand- père Nonno. Irma aime les sons, tous les sons. Dès qu’elle le peut, elle part se promener pour écouter et en enregistrer des nouveaux. Avec les sons d’Irma, Nonno fabrique des petites automates, les automassons. Jusqu’à l’arrivée de Monsieur Industrior... La petite glaneuse de sons est une fable écologique et politique pour les petites oreilles dans lequel Irma se trouve confrontée à la disparition totale de son écosystème sonore. Le bruit blanc que produisent les machines recouvre tout.

Story
In March 1986, while living in Brooklyn, Chris Bohjalian and his wife were cab-napped on a Saturday night and taken on a forty-five-minute joy ride in which the driver ignored all traffic lights and stop signs. Around midnight he deposited the young couple on a near-deserted street, where police officers were about to storm a crack house. Bohjalian and his wife were told to hit the ground for their own protection. While lying on the pavement, Bohjalian's wife suggested that perhaps it was time to move to New England.

Story
Der langt ude på landet på Djursland går Søren Ryge og ser og hører og gør sig sine tanker om livet, som det leves i Danmark i disse år, både helt tæt på, tilværelsen på gården med Cathrine og familie og venner, der kommer og går. Der er haven og hunden og hønsene, som ræven ikke kan lade være i fred; der er naboerne og de både kendte og helt ukendte mennesker, han taler med i sine tv-udsendelser, og der er livet på landevejene, skilteskovene og alle de irriterende rundkørsler og foredragene ude i forsamlingshusene.

Story
A searing, on-the-ground examination of the collapsing coal industry - and the communities left behind - in the midst of an economic and environmental crisis. The past few years have highlighted the paradox at the heart of coal country. Despite fueling a century of American progress, the people at the heart of coal country are being left behind, suffering from unemployment, the opioid epidemic, and environmental crises often at greater rates than anywhere else in the country. But what if Appalachia’s troubles are just a taste of what the future holds for all of us?

Story
Everybody Loves a Good Drought is the established classic on rural poverty in India. Twenty years after publication, it remains unsurpassed in the scope and depth of reportage, providing an intimate view of the daily struggles of the poor and the efforts, often ludicrous, made to uplift them. An illuminating introduction accompanying this 20-anniversary edition reveals, alarmingly, how a large section of India continues to suffer in the name of development so that a small percentage may prosper.
