Immortal River: The Upper Mississippi in Ancient and Modern Times

Immortal River: The Upper Mississippi in Ancient and Modern Times

by Calvin Fremling (Author)

Synopsis

Beyond Method provides a forum for scholars across health and human sciences disciplines to explore issues surrounding philosophy, methodology, and epistemology in the context of interpretive scholarship. The essays comprising this volume move beyond the practical descriptions or the how to of interpretive methods commonly found in textbooks to explore the contributions, underlying assumptions, limitations, and possibilities embedded within and across particular philosophical, methodological, and epistemological perspectives. They reveal the richness of understanding that emerges when philosophical issues are explicated within contemporary contexts, illuminating new possibilities for healthcare and human science scholarship.

Media Reviews
More complete and comprehensive than any book I know on the Upper Mississippi River. James W. Eckblad, Department of Biology, Luther College.
Calvin Fremling has successfully described and explained a very complex river system and series of events to a general audience. To my knowledge, there has not been any attempt to address the spatial and temporal scope that is contained in Immortal River. In fact, I dare say, there is nothing even close. Thomas O. Claflin, professor emeritus of biology, University of Wisconsin La Crosse
