› Find signed collectible books: 'Angela's Ashes'Book summary:"When I look back on my childhood, I wonder how I survived at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood. People everywhere brag or whimper about the woes of their early years, but nothing can compare with the Irish version: the poverty; the shiftless loquacious father; the pious defeated mother moaning by the fire; pompous priests; bullying shcoolmasters; the English and the terrible things they did to us for eight hundred long years. Above all we were wet!" So begins Frank McCourt's stunning memoir of his childhood in Ireland and America, a recollection of unvarnished truth and no self pity, of grinding poverty and indomitable spirit that will live in the memory long after the tape has ended. Now a major film directed by Alan Parker and starring Robert Carlyle and Emily Watson. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Black Boy'Book summary:Richard Wright's devastating autobiography of his childhood and youth in the Jim Crow South
His training by his elders was strict and harsh to prepare him for the "white world" which would be cruel. Their resentment of those trying to escape the common misery made his future seem hopeless. It was necessary to grow up restrained and submissive in southern white society and to endure torment and abuse.
Wright tells of his mental and emotional struggle to educate himself, which gave him a glimpse of life's possibilities and which led him to his triumphant decision to leave the South behind while still a teenager to live in Chicago and fulfill himself by becoming a writer.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Curating Immateriality: The Work of the Curator in the Age of Network Systems'Book summary:Reflects on the changes the Internet has stimulated for art curation and examines the work of the curator in relation to a wider socio-political context. Articulated through two key issues, immateriality and network systems, this book considers how the practice of curating has been transformed by distributed networks beyond the rhetoric of free software and open systems. Because the site of curatorial production has been expanded to include the space of the Internet, the focus of curatorial attention has been extended from the object to processes to dynamic network systems, multiple agents and software. This upgraded "operating system? of art presents new possibilities of online curating that is collective and distributed "even a self-organizing system that curates itself. The curator is part of this entire system but not central to it. The third book in the DATA Browser series of critical texts that explore issues at the intersection of culture and technology. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Encyclopedia of Unusual Sex Practices'Book summary:One person's erotic stimulation is another person's excuse to say, "I'm outta here." A study of neurological cycles, imprinting, and primal needs shows how people form their own unique recipes for love. Hardly any garment or activity escapes Brenda Love's encyclopedia. Writing exhaustively and without bias, Love has created a reference source for those intrigued with the full range of human sexual expression. To enrich the content of more than 750 entries, she has consulted with or quoted from, wherever possible, the practitioners.
Readers learn about such "practices" as concubinage, mock marriages, power tools (including a list of those suitable for sex games), sadism, and suturing. The entries, along with 150 original illustrations, are certain to expand both your consciousness and your vocabulary: you will learn about flatuphiles, fornicatory dolls, and frottage, plus infibulation (surgical closure of the labia) and inunction (using lotion for arousal). In this entertaining guide through sexual facts and fancies, Brenda Love--licensed pilot, skydiver, and columnist--writes: "It is the aim of the encyclopedia to provide objective information about how human beings behave; where you draw the line must be your own informed choice."

Going on Faith: Writers on a Spiritual Questby William ZinsserISBN 1569246866 (1-56924-686-6)
Softcover, Da Capo Press, Incorporated
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Going on Faith: Writers on a Spiritual Quest'Book summary:Going on Faith is an expanded version of Spiritual Quests (1988), a collection of essays--originally a New York Public Library lecture series about religious writing--by David Bradley, Frederick Buechner, Mary Gordon, Hugh Nissenson, Allen Ginsberg, and Jarozlav Pelikan. This new edition coincides with what the book's editor, William Zinsser, calls "a new interest in matters of the spirit." Its list of contributors has grown to include Hillel Levine ("a Jewish writer talking out of a lifelong spiritual search"), Diane Ackerman ("a writer who finds religion everywhere except in churches"), and Patricia Hampl (who explores "the life of religious contemplation").
Mary Gordon's thoughts about the effect of her Roman Catholic upbringing on her fiction writing (for example, Final Payments) are among the book's highlights. "Regular attendance at Mass," she claims, was "an excellent training ground ... for an aspiring novelist"--and not just because of the resemblance between the form the Mass takes and the form a novel takes. "An hour a day in a confined space like a church, where one has the leisure or the boredom to observe others of one's kind when they imagine themselves to be in private communion with their deepest souls," says Gordon, "is as useful for a prospective novelist as a wiretap." In his essay, Frederick Buechner (Godric) contemplates the similarities between faith and fiction. "You fashion your story," Buechner says, "as you fashion your faith, out of the great hodgepodge of your life--the things that have happened to you and the things you've dreamed of happening." But perhaps what faith and fiction "have most richly in common," says Buechner, "is that they are a way of paying attention."
Not all of the book's contributors are traditionally devout. Hugh Nissenson professes to make a religion of his atheism. David Bradley, who comes from a long line of Methodist preachers, claims writing as his religion. And Diane Ackerman (A Natural History of the Senses) doesn't believe in God. Nevertheless, she says, "even without an organized religion or a church I often find myself in a position of praise or prayer.... I also find myself constantly going on pilgrimages and quests." --Jane Steinberg [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Liar's Club'Book summary:In this funny, razor-edged memoir, Mary Karr, a prize-winning poet and critic, looks back at her upbringing in a swampy East Texas refinery town with a volatile, defiantly loving family. She recalls her painter mother, seven times married, whose outlaw spirit could tip into psychosis; a fist-swinging father who spun tales with his cronies--dubbed the Liars' Club; and a neighborhood rape when she was eight. An inheritance was squandered, endless bottles emptied, and guns leveled at the deserving and undeserving. With a raw authenticity stripped of self-pity and a poet's eye for the lyrical detail, Karr shows us a "terrific family of liars and drunks ... redeemed by a slow unearthing of truth." [via]

These would be fans of the scaldingly snide Sedaris's hilariously described personal misadventures like The Santaland Diaries (a monologue about his work as an elf to a department store Santa) seen off-Broadway in 1997. In a series of similarly textured essays, Sedaris takes us along on his catastrophic detours through a nudist colony, a fruit-packing plant, his own childhood, and a dozen more of the world's little purgatories.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics'Book summary:From abecedarius to zeugma, by way of cywydd, estribillo, Nibelungenstrophe, Tachtigers, and other poetic terms that sound like poetry, The New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics is a gold mine for readers and writers of poetry alike. First published in 1965, this tome has evolved to reflect developments in critical thinking and an expanding knowledge of non-Western poetry (without, heaven forfend, being trendy: "a reference work," the editors explain, "must always distance itself from its time while it works to embrace that time"). For this third edition, the editors write, nearly every entry has been changed significantly, and 162 entries have been added. The preface claims coverage of every poetic tradition in the world, and one doesn't doubt it. There's enough material here to keep one browsing well past Yeats's "Second Coming." If that's not enough to quench your poetic thirst, fret not: a detailed bibliography concludes each entry. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'A Note Slipped Under the Door: Teaching from Poems We Love'Book summary:[via]"WHATEVER SHIRLEY OR NICK TELL YOU-BELIEVE THEM."
- Naomi Shihab Nye
How do we read a poem? What can we teach from a poem we love? How can we name what poets do in order to inform our writing, our teaching?
In their staff development work with teachers, Nick Flynn and Shirley McPhillips have often encountered these and similar questions. This book invites preservice and inservice teachers, staff developers - anyone who wants to make a lasting place for poetry in their own and their students' lives - into many of these same primary through middle school classrooms for an up-close look at several thoughtful, rigorous, poetry inquiries.
Each chapter begins with a mentor poem as the centerpiece for discussion, followed by a short narrative of ways the authors view their world through that chapter's particular poetic "lens." The authors then walk the reader into a classroom writer's workshop where, through vignettes, conversations, and carefully designed mini-lessons, that chapter's key element of poetic practice is being studied over time.
Other aspects that will help teachers in designing and conducting inquiry around mentor poems include:
- mini-lessons that take students through an inquiry from launch to in-depth extensions;
- illustrations of student writing samples in the "try it" stages, successive drafts, and crafted poems;
- words, stories, and examples of best-loved poets that inspire and instruct us in our own thinking and teaching;
- appendixes that include various types of book lists, charts, conference transcripts, and additional poems.
A Note Slipped Under the Door will show how you might help your student writers let the poems they love teach them what they need to know, and build a writing life that includes finding and crafting their own.

Relaxation & Stress Reduction Workbookby Martha Davis, Matthew McKay, Elizabeth Robbins EshelmanISBN 1567310753 (1-56731-075-3)
Hardcover, Fine Communications
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Relaxation & Stress Reduction Workbook'Book summary:Although the sheer size of this dense workbook might cause initial hyperventilation--280 full-size sheets of text--take heart (and a deep breath!): the many self-assessment tools and calming techniques presented in this fifth edition can help overcome anxiety and promote physical and emotional well-being. First introduced in 1980, the book received praise for presenting a comprehensive look at stress, its physical manifestations, and the multiple ways it can be managed. Twenty years later, its well-organized chapters on breathing, relaxation, meditation, thought stopping, and body awareness still guide the reader through copious self-help techniques to try and, eventually, master. Other chapters, including job stress management, goal setting and time management, and assertiveness training, focus on daily scenarios people often find distressing. Lessons in identifying key elements that trigger unpleasant responses and in reacting differently to these elements are designed to defuse perceived conflicts. For this edition, coauthors Martha Davis (psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry of Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, Santa Clara, CA), Elizabeth Robbins Eshelman (licensed clinical social worker with Kaiser Permanente Online), and Matthew McKay (clinical director of Haight-Ashbury Psychological Services, San Francisco, CA) have added topics on worry control, anger management, and eye-movement therapy. New diagrams and a more reader-friendly format should appeal to readers, despite a few typos and graphical mishaps. This is a valuable tool for therapists, their patients, and the stressed-at-large. --Liane Thomas [via]

Her novel, The Color Purple, was awarded both the Pulitzer Prize and the American Book Award. But when Steven Spielberg made a film of the novel, intense controversy erupted. In this provocative and thoughtful collection of essays, Walker takes, as she puts it, a "lingering look backward at a dangerous crossroad in one's life." How does a serious writer engage popular culture? What are the costs? What are the joys? The eloquent Ms. Walker offers insights. [via]

Fully three-fifths of the roots are Latin, and a good share come from Greek too. There are also Scandinavian roots and roots from nine or so other languages. Following the history comes the comprehensive list of word stems, from "Abb" ("father, religious leader. Syriac, abba.") to "Zym" ("ferment.

Writing As a Way of Knowingby Lois Bridges Bird, Gslef InstituteISBN 1571100628 (1-57110-062-8)
Softcover, Stenhouse Pub
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Writing As a Way of Knowing'Book summary:[via]Why do teachers use literature in their classrooms? What does literature add to children's lives and to the curriculum? Why is literature important at all? Kathy Short answers these and other questions in this introductory book on how to integrate literature into your curriculum.
Reading real books adds to the process of understanding and learning. Of course, teachers have always included real books in their classrooms, but now they are making them integral to the curriculum; however well constructed, basal programs cannot provide the variety and choice of reading materials that meet the equally wide range of students' interests and needs. Stories that are worth reading and that extend children's experiences and enrich their minds also motivate them to making reading part of their lives.
Kathy outlines the four roles literature plays in the curriculum:
- Literature is a way to learn language; not just reading, but writing, too.
- Literature enhances learning in content areas: social studies, sciences, mathematics, and the arts.
- Literature is one pathway to knowing and understanding the world.
- Literature opens up an awareness of society and culture.
Because literature should be part of a curriculum that provides a meaningful engagement with language, she shows you how to use real books to give children opportunities to learn. You will enjoy her practical suggestions for implementing a variety of teaching strategies so that children have opportunities to learn about language through:
- independent reading;
- reading aloud;
- partner reading and sharing;
- readers' theatre and choral reading;
- author studies;
- literature circles.
And you will be able to develop important reading strategies through mini-lessons, conferences, and shared and guided reading.
As an example of a curricular framework, Kathy explains the authoring cycle, which uses inquiry to involve students deeply in a theme or topic. She concludes with a discussion of evaluation as part of the curriculum and offers specific examples of evaluation techniques and samples of the appropriate forms.
As in the other volumes in this series, there are Dialogues that invite you to reflect on your own teaching, Shoptalks that provide brief reviews of relevant professional literature, and Teacher-To-Teacher Field Notes: comments by classroom teachers on their own successful teaching ideas.
