NF UnCivil Wars Book Series

[Library Lady]

The UnCivil Wars book series comes from the University of Georgia Press. These are largely niche books designed for upper division undergraduate courses. The press considers its strength to be in gender, environmental and cultural studies and encourages authors to look at the Civil War from these perspectives.

Books in the series include:

• 2 books on Civil War-era rehabilitative medicine: Disability in the North and amputations in the South.
• 2 books on environmental impacts: One is a general study and one focuses on sedimentary geology and the Civil War (sand forts, for example).
• 3 books on the Black experience (emancipation, Reconstruction and the Black family's fight for racial justice).
• 1 book on the Civil War in literature and art.
• 1 book on photography.

One book, Buying and Selling Civil War Memory in Gilded Age America, was mentioned in another thread here.

You may know I have a thread in this forum about the weirdest book you've ever read about the Civil War. I think I'm going to have to check out Weirding the War: Stories from the Civil War's Ragged Edges.

Here is the website for the series at the University of Georgia Press: https://ugapress.org/series/uncivil-wars/?page_number=1

Please note 2 things:
First, these are E-books only, no audiobooks.
Second, if you want to find the series for yourself inside the Hoopla program, at the top of the page there is a gray box labeled "Everything" with a down arrow. Click here, then go to the bottom of the drop-down menu and click "Series" then type "UnCivil Wars" in the search box and click on the magnifying glass. When the page comes up inside Hoopla, you can click on the "heart" to the right of the series title (not shown on this webpage) to make the entire series a favorite. When you go to your favorites in Hoopla, "Series" is at the top of the formats.

Ruin nation is in my stack to read.

I have to say that of the series I've found so far, this one is probably my favorite (has the most books I'd like to read).

I also like that of the 3 series I've found so far, most of the books are available as E-books on Hoopla. I may not like to read that way, but others do, and it sure saves them time (they can begin reading immediately from their devices), space and money.
