The Crafter's Devotional

365 Days of Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for Unlocking Your Creative Spirit

By: Barbara R. Call

Stay inspired every day of the year with this volume of tips, prompts, and insight into maintaining your own creative practice. Regardless of their chosen medium, all artists and crafters share the passion to create and the need for inspiration. Some of us have plenty of ideas for projects yet can't find the time to get started, while others are ready to go—yet can never decide what to make. The Crafter's Devotional offers ways to make your creative process part of your daily life. Rather than offering instructions to follow for a particular project, The Crafter's Devotional combines lessons, quotations, techniques and journaling prompts designed to help you explore and nurture your own creative impulses. Each day of the year is given its own focus, on which the reader will find a dose of inspiration, instruction, or illumination.

American Science

My View from the Bench

By: Barbara Ruben Migeon

In this insiders account of university science in America, Barbara Migeon focuses on how an influx of new technologies empowered scientists to make groundbreaking discoveries on the nature of hereditary diseases. She begins her story with an account of how she began her research career before delving into a broader discussion of what scientists do, what they must deal with, and the changing face of biomedical science over the last half century. This is a fascinating, insightful and thought-provoking book, beautifully written by an excellent scientist, a pioneering female in a strongly male-centric field. Her personal history of this remarkable era of biomedical science is a must read for anyone males, females, scientists and non-scientists curious about the process of scientific discovery and progress toward gender equity. Her account shows how science is shaped by deep commitment and insights, complex human interactions, and public policy. Barbara Sollner-Webb. Professor Emerita, Department of Biological Chemistry, The Johns Hopkins University I was captivated by Migeons ability to synthesize the personal, political, scientific, and academic strands of her life over the past half-century. To her credit, this historian speaks forthrightly; while her research clearly has been a source of deep joy, she also exposes the institutional problems (including sexism). Her inclusion of selected material from a personal journal she kept over the years is a welcome addition to a book that offers a fresh perspective to scientists as well as non-scientists, men as well as women. Evelyn Torton Beck, Professor Emerita, Womens Studies, University of Maryland

Gone Missing

A Contemporary Women's Novel

By: Barbara Sherrod

When psychologist Marjorie Kanders friend commits suicide in 2001, Marjorie, already feeling oversensitive and stressed due to menopausal symptoms, flees her life. Leaving behind her Colorado home, family, and psychology practice, she finds retreat in a small Kansas town. Marjories associate, part-time search -and-rescue volunteer Gloria, is fearful of commitment. She is perfectly content living an adventurous life alone, but with Marjorie gone, Gloria feels she must forfeit her lifestyle to become a surrogate wife and mother to the Kander family. All too soon, Gloria realizes she cannot be the anchor that the Kander family requires. Marjories husband, Mike, is battling seemingly uncontrollable rages; her daughter, Clare, is addicted to unhealthy romances; her son, Douglas, is a lost spiritual seeker; and Betty, Marjories mother-in-law, is in poor health. Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, Marjorie is gradually accepting the true cause of her anxiety. Having obtained this awareness, she plans to return home, but a blossoming relationship with a local doctor jeopardizes her vow. Gone Missing follows these two women as they cope with demanding personal events, and when the September 11 terrorist attacks shake the country, Marjorie and Gloria realize that they must find a common strength and renew their lives.

Mathematical Methods in Linguistics

By: Barbara B.H. Partee,A.G. ter Meulen,R. Wall

Elementary set theory accustoms the students to mathematical abstraction, includes the standard constructions of relations, functions, and orderings, and leads to a discussion of the various orders of infinity. The material on logic covers not only the standard statement logic and first-order predicate logic but includes an introduction to formal systems, axiomatization, and model theory. The section on algebra is presented with an emphasis on lattices as well as Boolean and Heyting algebras. Background for recent research in natural language semantics includes sections on lambda-abstraction and generalized quantifiers. Chapters on automata theory and formal languages contain a discussion of languages between context-free and context-sensitive and form the background for much current work in syntactic theory and computational linguistics. The many exercises not only reinforce basic skills but offer an entry to linguistic applications of mathematical concepts. For upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students in theoretical linguistics, computer-science students with interests in computational linguistics, logic programming and artificial intelligence, mathematicians and logicians with interests in linguistics and the semantics of natural language.
