and Public Health.
On Wednesday, January 12, 2022,

Racism affect Environmental Health,
Professor Jonathan Rosenbloom will
discuss the disparate impact of public
policies governing land use, housing, occupational health and
industrial development on the health of communities of color.

School, was named Distinguished Environment Law Scholar

is founding executive director of the Sustainable Development
Code, a model land use code designed to provide local governments
with the best sustainability practices in land use.
Professor Rosenbloom received his Bachelors in Architecture
from the Rhode Island School of Design, JD from New York
Law School, and LLM from Harvard Law School. He has

attaining their highest level of health.

justice.

Cemetery Bridge, Latest George Shuman Novel Now Available
Vermont author George Shuman,
a long time Barre resident, novelist,
and newspaper and magazine columnist,
is excited to announce that
his latest novel, “Cemetery Bridge,”
has just entered publication.
“Cemetery Bridge,” Shuman offers
“is a work of historical fiction
that also delves into the metaphysical.
The book’s main plot spans
many years of our country’s history.”
page 8 The WORLD December 22, 2021
The story takes place both
in the present and the past; its
many real and fictional characters
live their lives today
and long ago, each adding to
the story as fate would dictate.
Those characters, including
an ‘ancient’ lady, an aging
motorcyclist, a ‘snake oil’
peddling traveling merchant,
and even President Abraham
Lincoln himself become
timelessly entwined in ways
they can never know.
“Gilead is an unassuming
little village on Route 2 in
western Maine, and the reallife
timeless home of a small,
quite unusual cemetery. That cemetery is the centerpiece and
single, invaluable inspiration for the book,” according to the
author.
“Cemetery Bridge” joins Shuman’s other novels, “A Corner
Café” and “The Smoke and Mirrors Effect” in publication.
The books are all available on Amazon and are published
in both Kindle and paperback versions. “George’s World,” a
large compilation of Shuman’s columns written over the years
for The World newspaper, is also available in paperback.
Check out the books by title or search George E. Shuman.
