An Orange from Portugal: Christmas Stories from the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Simpson, Anne / Simpson, Anne, PUBLISHER: Goose Lane Editions, Imagine biting into a juicy orange: It's sweet, thirst-quenching, and delicious. Now imagine a poor young boy in Halifax receiving an orange from Portugal when such a gift was an exotic possibility, something about which he talked and dreamed for many days before Christmas. "An Orange from Portugal is full of such magic. Stockings without holes, the hushed beauty of a winter morning, two very different takes on what the animals really do in the barn on Christmas Eve--these are among the 30-odd tales ANNE SIMPSON has selected for the third in Goose Lane's beloved series of Christmas anthologies. Easterners have always gone "down the road," but their memories of Christmas never fade. From letters memoirs, and poems, "An Orange from Portugal spans more than a century of seasonal writing. Here are stories both salty and sweet by the likes of Charles G.D. Roberts, Alistair MacLeod, Lisa Moore, Wayne Johnstone, and Joan Clark. Like that perfect orange nestled in a stocking toe, this book is a rare treat.

Stories Out of School: Memories and Reflections on Care and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Paul, James L. / Smith, Terry Jo / Paul, James L., PUBLISHER: Ablex Publishing Corporation, The changes in how we understand and study teaching and learning are uneven. Strongly held beliefs support the changes and equally strongly held beliefs challenge them. However, the discourse about teaching and learning and our understandings of the nature of educational research have changed rather dramatically in the last two decades. These changes form the context for the work described in this book on stories out of school-adult memories of their teachers. The authors have been guided by the work of Jackson (), Noddings (), Eisner (), Palmer (), Coles (), and Lindley (), among others, who have focused on the qualities of life experienced by children, particularly in the classroom. Interests have centered on memory, meaning, and the self in relationship. Using a database of letters written by adults (most of whom are teachers or are preparing to be teachers) to their former teachers, the authors examine the interpersonal spaces shared by teachers and students and the kinds of unacknowledged pedagogies created in those spaces. They are interested in the ethics of experienced pedagogies and the implications of those pedagogies for educating teachers.

Nurses Beyond Borders

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Harless, Nancy Leigh, PUBLISHER: Kaplan Publishing, These 25 true stories reveal what it is like to practice nursing in a country different from one's own. As the "New York Times" noted: "At a time when many people feel lucky to have a steady job, thousands of nurses feel lucky not to have one. Known as traveling nurses, they have made a career and life out of working in staccato bursts." Written by nurses for nurses, this book provides the insight that comes from experience. Whether confronted with unfamiliar cultural norms, new medical language, or fewer resources, the nurses writing in this collection offer a view of the commonalities and differences in nursing and how it is practiced around the world. Whether it's a U.S. nurse practitioner training doctors in war-torn Kosovo, a French nurse offering aid in Indonesia, or a Canadian nurse experiencing her dream to live and work in the Caribbean, these stories will intrigue and inspire. "Caring Beyond Borders" is as compelling as it is enjoyable, and provides the reader with a first-class pass to the wide world of nursing.

Science, Sense and Soul: The Mystical-Physical Nature of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Blood, Casey, PUBLISHER: Renaissance Books, In a world of political and social turmoil, can science tell us anything helpful? Can we make practical use of mysticism-the essence of religion-with its promise of a higher spiritual truth? Is it true that physics and biological science are incompatible with religion? Or can they be fruitfully reconciled? In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Casey Blood shows how quantum physics does indeed explain the true nature of the physical universe. He tells us how neuroscientists can provide an understanding of the way the brain makes sense of our inner and outer worlds. He also shows that neuroscience, in conjunction with a basic knowledge of mysticism, can clarify how and why meditation techniques and other mystical practices work. Most satisfying of all, he paints a world picture in which quantum physics is no only compatible with mysticism but also gives us a deeper understanding of spiritual matters. For Dr. Blood, three diverse disciplines-quantum physics, neuroscience, and mysticism-rather than being in conflict, give a unified picture of human existence. Together they show that the spiritual world has an immense effect on what happens here and now. And they suggest that spiritual practices can enable society to match human aspirations. Though the subjects are profound, "Science, Sense & Soul "is written in a clear, uncomplicated, readable style. The three sections on physics, neuroscience, and mysticism are mini-courses in the basics of those fields of inquiry. These three strands are then interwoven into an intricate design that illuminates the structure of and reason for human existence.

A Word or Two

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Andreae, Christopher, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, A walrus sort of book. Remember Lewis Carrollas verse? aaThe time has come, a the Walrus said, / aTo talk of many things: / Of shoes a and ships a and sealing-wax a / Of cabbages a and kings...aa In this book of miscellaneous essays, to , the author makes wry, funny, touching, familiar, and unexpected observations of all sorts of things that have occurred during his time spent living variously in city, country, and suburbia. (His time living on Mars goes discreetly unmentioned.) His odd mix of unpretentiously contentious themes ranges from a brusque bookseller who turns out to be affable, to a suicidal sheep who opts for life after all, to an eccentric schoolmaster who wags his finger while quoting T. S. Eliot, to the questionable state of Queen Elizabethas fingernails. Discombobulating but rarely disastrous encounters abound a with precocious six-year-olds, mischievous mice, platefuls of inedible seashells, and a quiet American in Edinburgh looking for a girl heas never met. A good bedtime, or anytime, read written by an adept wordsmith.

All the Daring of the Soldier: Women of the Civil War Armies

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Leonard, Elizabeth D., PUBLISHER: W. W. Norton & Company, Historian Elizabeth Leonard has combed archives, memoirs, and histories to unearth the stories of the hidden and forgotten women who risked their lives for the blue or the gray. These women spied for their cause, remained on the front lines as daughters of the regiments, and even dressed as men and enlisted under aliases to take up arms and fight as soldiers. Here are the stories of Belle Boyd, a proud Confederate loyalist and key player in Stonewall Jackson's struggle to hold the Shenandoah Valley; army woman Annie Etheridge, whose four long years of courageous work on the field earned her a Kearney Cross for bravery; Sarah Emma Edmonds, who enlisted as "Franklin Thompson," remained with her regiment as a much-respected soldier for two years, fighting at Fredricksburg and elsewhere; and many other courageous women. Leonard investigates why these women chose unconventional ways to help their cause. In doing so, she gives us a striking portrait of the lives women led in the nineteenth century and of their ability to break through the traditional barriers of Victorian womanhood.

Casebook for the Foundation: A Great American Secret

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fleishman, Joel L. / Kohler, J. Scott / Schindler, Steven, PUBLISHER: PublicAffairs, Unique in all the world, the American foundation sector has been an engine of social change for more than a century. In this companion volume to "The Foundation: A Great American Secret," Joel Fleishman, Scott Kohler, and Steven Schindler explore 100 of the highest-achieving foundation initiatives of all time. Based on a rich array of sources--from interviews with the principals themselves to contemporaneous news accounts to internal evaluation reports--this volume presents brief case studies of foundation success stories across virtually every field of human endeavor. The influence of the foundations on American, and indeed global society, has only occasionally come into the public view. For every well-known foundation achievement--Andrew Carnegie's massive library building program or the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's public efforts to curb tobacco use--there are a great many lesser-known, but often equally important stories to be told. The cases in this volume provide a wealth of evidentiary support for Joel Fleishman's description of, and recommendations for, the foundation sector. With lessons for grant-makers, grant-seekers, public officials, and public-spirited individuals alike, this casebook pieces together 100 stories, some well known, others never before told, and offers hard proof of the foundation sector's immense and enduring impact on scientific research, education, public policy, and many other fields. The work that foundations have supported over the past century has achieved profound results. Yet foundations are capable of more and better. This volume, a window onto great successes of the past and present, is at once a look back, a look around, and a point of reference as we turn to the future.

Ghost Town Stories of the Red Coat Trail: From Renegade to

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bachusky, Johnnie, PUBLISHER: Heritage House Publishing, The Red Coat Trail of southern Saskatchewan and southeastern Alberta runs near the route of the North West Mounted Police's famous March West. Today, this lonely highway passes through a windswept land of abandoned towns. Johnnie Bachusky takes readers back to the heyday of this region, when booming pioneer towns sprang up as settlers travelled west during the last great land rush. The Roaring Twenties brought bumper harvests but also bootleggers and bank robbers; fortunes were won and lost in raucous hotels and pool halls, and high-stakes poker games went on all night. The Great Depression devastated the area. Disease, drought, dust storms and grasshoppers took their toll. Some towns simply vanished; others now contain rows of boarded-up homes and businesses. But their history comes to life in these stories. From an account of a s bank robbery in Manyberries to the tales of a boisterous Govenlock rancher who hunted with Buffalo Bill Cody and Wild Bill Hickok, these are compelling portraits of lost towns and the memorable characters who once called them home.
