Literary Presentations of Divided Germany: The Development

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hutchinson, Peter / Hutchinson, Allen Ed., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book was the first full-length of East German fiction to appear in English. It takes as its subject the political division of Germany into two increasingly incompatible states, and it concentrates on East German fiction for the simple reason that West German writers are ignorant of one of the most significant events of modern history. After dealing with various historical, bibliographical and cultural problems, Dr Hutchinson isolates three narrative devices of particular value to East German writers: creating a discriminating East German visitor to the West who reinforces the standard image of the capitalist world; introducing figures who are representative of each German state; and examining the two states in terms of their relationship with the Third Reich. A conclusion surveys changes in the literary image of Germany's division between and , and compares East German works on the subject with the few written in the West.

Grand Parenting: Finding Roots and Wings for an Open Choice

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Faust, Ron, PUBLISHER: Leathers Publishing, Grandparents are one of life's greatest blessings - they make life easier. And with the capacity to save us from the destruction and harshness of life, grandparents are a vital part of our extended family. Grand Parenting: Finding Roots and Wings for an Open Choice Generation, just released by Leathers Publishing, explores the part grandparents play in child development and offers a new perspective on their role in child rearing. In the book, author Dr. Ron Faust looks at the spiritual I.Q. (S.Q) of children. By his definition, the S.Q. measures the child's ability to engage in peacemaking and justice issues. Faust says this is where grandparents can help deepen the spiritual quest. He points out in the book that the link between values and grand parenting is the key to unlocking the hope for a new ethical generation. Grand Parenting: Finding Roots and Wings for an Open Choice Generation shows how open-minded grandparents can use the benefits of "Open Choice Parenting" to boost the S.Q. scores for future generations.

Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fine, Cordelia, PUBLISHER: W. W. Norton & Company, It’s the twenty-first century, and although we tried to rear unisex children—boys who play with dolls and girls who like trucks—we failed. Even though the glass ceiling is cracked, most women stay comfortably beneath it. And everywhere we hear about vitally important “hardwired” differences between male and female brains. The neuroscience that we read about in magazines, newspaper articles, books, and sometimes even scientific journals increasingly tells a tale of two brains, and the result is more often than not a validation of the status quo. Women, it seems, are just too intuitive for math; men too focused for housework.Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience and psychology, Cordelia Fine debunks the myth of hardwired differences between men’s and women’s brains, unraveling the evidence behind such claims as men’s brains aren’t wired for empathy and women’s brains aren’t made to fix cars. She then goes one step further, offering a very different explanation of the dissimilarities between men’s and women’s behavior. Instead of a “male brain” and a “female brain,” Fine gives us a glimpse of plastic, mutable minds that are continuously influenced by cultural assumptions about gender. Passionately argued and unfailingly astute, Delusions of Gender provides us with a much-needed corrective to the belief that men’s and women’s brains are intrinsically different—a belief that, as Fine shows with insight and humor, all too often works to the detriment of ourselves and our society.

The Congressman's Civil War

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bogue, Allan G. / Fogel, Robert / Thernstrom, Stephan, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In the historical literature on the Civil War, the President, the generals, and the cabinet secretaries have won the war of words. Of the hundreds of men who served in the House of Representatives during this great struggle, only a handful typically appear in general discussions of the period. Yet without a deeper understanding of the contributions of the members of the Congress to the successful prosecution of the war, we cannot fully appreciate the desperate nature of that war and its significance in the building of the nation. This book explores important aspects of the Civil War from the perspective of Capitol Hill. It is an effort to survey some of the possibilities for understanding the congressmen, their relations with each other, and their interaction with President Lincoln.

The Mudra

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sonnenberg, Kerri, PUBLISHER: Litmus Press, Poetry. In Buddhism, a mudra is a symbolic gesture expressive of an inner state. To conceive of a single such gesture-the mudra-brings dramatic tension to the symbolizing act. Such a title is perfect for Kerri Sonnenberg's intelligent and graceful examination of world and language, from the lyrical fragments of the title section-"I'll spend some distance" and "the shapes we fail"-to the beautifully seen landscape of the collection's final lines: "turned fields without/color was night before roads." Both the fragment, with its suggestion of absence, and the oblique narrative, with its ghostly suggestion of a "whole," are means of expressing, as if for the first time, worlds we thought we knew. In The Mudra, Kerri Sonnenberg gives us worlds brilliant in their passing"-Paul Hoover.

The Secret of Happiness

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Graham, Billy / McGee, J. Vernon, PUBLISHER: Thomas Nelson Publishers, Happiness. It's what we all long for, what all human beings seek in our jobs, our relationships, our activities. We try so hard to be happy, and all too often we end up empty and unsatisfied. Why? Because, says Billy Graham in this classic work, we are looking for happiness in all the wrong places. Instead of looking for happiness in the temporal pleasures of this world, we need to learn the secret Jesus taught in the astounding set of teachings we call the Beatitudes - that true, lasting happiness is a by-product, a bonus that comes when we seek what is really important. Presented with Dr. Graham's characteristic simplicity, this landmark book teaches us to live above the circumstances of life and rest in the true happiness God wants us to have.

Ten Little Indians

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Alexie, Sherman, PUBLISHER: Grove Press, Sherman Alexie is one of our most acclaimed and popular writers today. With Ten Little Indians, he offers nine poignant and emotionally resonant new stories about Native Americans who, like all Americans, find themselves at personal and cultural crossroads, faced with heartrending, tragic, sometimes wondrous moments of being that test their loyalties, their capacities, and their notions of who they are and who they love. In Alexie's first story, "The Search Engine," Corliss is a rugged and resourceful student who finds in books the magic she was denied while growing up poor. In "The Life and Times of Estelle Walks Above," an intellectual feminist Spokane Indian woman saves the lives of dozens of white women all around her to the bewilderment of her only child. "What You Pawn I Will Redeem" starts off with a homeless man recognizing in a pawnshop window the fancy-dance regalia that were stolen fifty years earlier from his late grandmother. Even as they often make us laugh, Alexie's stories are driven by a haunting lyricism and naked candor that cut to the heart of the human experience, shedding brilliant light on what happens when we grow into and out of each other.
