Kiddie Lit

The Cultural Construction of Children's Literature in America

By: Beverly Lyon Clark

Honor Book for the 2005 Book Award given by the Children's Literature Association The popularity of the Harry Potter books among adults and the critical acclaim these young adult fantasies have received may seem like a novel literary phenomenon. In the nineteenth century, however, readers considered both Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn as works of literature equally for children and adults; only later was the former relegated to the category of "boys' books" while the latter, even as it was canonized, came frequently to be regarded as unsuitable for young readers. Adults—women and men—wept over Little Women. And America's most prestigious literary journals regularly reviewed books written for both children and their parents. This egalitarian approach to children's literature changed with the emergence of literary studies as a scholarly discipline at the turn of the twentieth century. Academics considered children's books an inferior literature and beneath serious consideration. In Kiddie Lit, Beverly Lyon Clark explores the marginalization of children's literature in America—and its recent possible reintegration—both within the academy and by the mainstream critical establishment. Tracing the reception of works by Mark Twain, Louisa May Alcott, Lewis Carroll, Frances Hodgson Burnett, L. Frank Baum, Walt Disney, and J. K. Rowling, Clark reveals fundamental shifts in the assessment of the literary worth of books beloved by both children and adults, whether written for boys or girls. While uncovering the institutional underpinnings of this transition, Clark also attributes it to changing American attitudes toward childhood itself, a cultural resistance to the intrinsic value of childhood expressed through sentimentality, condescension, and moralizing. Clark's engaging and enlightening study of the critical disregard for children's books since the end of the nineteenth century—which draws on recent scholarship in gender, cultural, and literary studies— offers provocative new insights into the history of both children's literature and American literature in general, and forcefully argues that the books our children read and love demand greater respect.

Please Don't Feed the Daisy

Living, Loving, and Losing Weight with the World's Hungriest Dog

By: Beverly West

When Jason moves in with Bev, it's supposed to be temporary. But then Daisy the Chihuahua comes to stay. Just two-and-a-half pounds when they adopt her, Daisy is a charmer. And soon, an eater. Hot on her heels comes Elvis the pug, and then, of course, their puppies! Instead of losing her baby weight, after giving birth to four puppies, Daisy gets even chubbier and soon outgrows even her fattest fat sweaters. Bev and Jason decide it's time for everyone, including the two of them, to pull together, lead a healthier life-style -- and in the process become a family (albeit an unconventional one). Please Don't Feed the Daisy is the wickedly funny, remarkably useful story of their journey toward becoming that family, and a fit one to boot. Packed with yummy, fun, diet- and earth-friendly recipes for both dogs and people, as well as training tips and the Happily Ever After Maintenance Plan, this is a heartwarming and healthy tale for dog- (and food-) lovers everywhere.

Look to Lazarus

The Big Store

By: David Meyers,Beverly Meyers,Elise Meyers Walker

Department stores were a midwest institution, none more prominent in downtown Columbus Ohio than F&R Laazarus & Company. For more than 150 years, F&R Lazarus & Company was the heart of downtown Columbus. Headed by the "first family of American retailing" with an eye for flair and a devotion to the customer, this uniquely midwestern institution won the hearts and minds of a community. Look to Lazarus draws on the memories of those who worked and shopped in this grand emporium to tell the unlikely story of a love affair between a city and a store. It was a love affair born of the solemn promise "You can always take it back to Lazarus, no questions asked.

The Tiara Club

By: Beverly Brandt

Grab your sparkliest tiara, blend your favorite fruity drink, and get ready to laugh and cry with the women of the Tiara Club. Georgia Elliott grew up in a small Gulf town full of Southern charm---and a superefficient grapevine---so the few secrets she's managed to keep are precious, including that she invented TV's hottest new kitchen gadget, the Miracle Chef. A second-generation beauty queen, Georgia turns to women she knows she can trust to keep her secret from her controlling society mama: the Tiara Club. All the members are veterans of the pageant circuit, but they've just admitted one woman who doesn't fit in---a Yankee who's never taped her breasts or smeared glue on her butt to wow the judges. And this year the Tiara Club is determined to help this outsider win the coveted Shrimp Queen crown. Add in an impending wedding and the club's attempts to keep Georgia's secret, and the women of the Tiara Club have to do all they can to hold on to their poise, their friendships, and their senses of humor.

Technocracy at Work

By: Beverly H. Burris

Technocracy, loosely defined, is "rule by experts." Technocracy at Work focuses on the organizational dimensions and aspects of technocracy. Substantial sociological literatures have analyzed contemporary changes in factories, bureaucracies, and professional organizations. What has not been well investigated is the interrelatedness of these changes and the emergence of technocracy in the workplace. This book fills this gap and analyzes the social and political implications of technocracy, in both particular work organizations as well as the world-wide technocratic system, so as to inform future democratic debate.

The Afterlife of "Little Women"

By: Beverly Lyon Clark

The Afterlife of "Little Women"

By: Beverly Lyon Clark

“Superb, scrupulously researched . . . a comprehensive narrative for understanding the changing reception of Little Women.” —Gregory Eiselein, coeditor of The Louisa May Alcott Encyclopedia The hit Broadway show of 1912. The lost film of 1919. Katharine Hepburn, as Jo, sliding down a banister in George Cukor’s 1933 movie. Mark English’s shimmering 1967 illustrations. Jo—this time played by Sutton Foster—belting “I'll be / astonishing” in the 2004 Broadway musical flop. These are only some of the markers of the afterlife of Little Women. There’s also the nineteenth-century child who wrote, “If you do not ...make Laurie marry Beth, I will never read another of your books as long as I live.” Not to mention Miss Manners, a Little Women devotee, who announced that the book taught her an important life lesson: “Although it’s very nice to have two clean gloves, it’s even more important to have a little ink on your fingers.” In The Afterlife of Little Women, Beverly Lyon Clark, a leading authority on children’s literature, maps the reception of Louisa May Alcott’s timeless novel, first published in 1868. Clark divides her discussion into four historical periods. The first covers the novel’s publication and massive popularity in the late nineteenth century. In the second era—the first three decades of the twentieth century—the novel becomes a nostalgic icon of the domesticity of a previous century, while losing status among the literary and scholarly elite. In its mid-century afterlife, from 1930-1960, Little Women reaches a low in terms of its critical reputation but remains a well-known piece of Americana within popular culture. The book concludes with a long chapter on Little Women’s afterlife from the 1960s to the present, a period in which the reading of the book seems to decline, while scholarly attention expands dramatically and popular echoes continue to proliferate. Drawing on letters and library records as well as reviews, plays, operas, film and television adaptations, spinoff novels, translations, Alcott biographies, and illustrations, Clark demonstrates how the novel resonates with both conservative family values and progressive feminist ones. She grounds her story in criticism of children’s literature, book history, cultural studies, feminist criticism, and adaptation studies—in a book that is “fascinating, cover-to-cover, for the many readers of Little Women still out there, whether scholar or generally interested fan” (Studies in the Novel).

The Bramanville Girls

By: Beverly McLean Cambridge

This is a memoir about six close friends whose friendship started in grade school and continues to this day, although 3 of them have passed on. Faced with boredom when all of their boyfriends enlisted in 1942, this is a factual and often humorous account of how they confronted this problem. Their dream came true when they were allowed to occupy a vacant summer cottage on Lake Singletary, along with a 1927 LaSalle at their disposal, and thus could entertain servicemen from colleges in Worcester and Fort Devens in Ayer, MA almost every weekend during the summer months of the war.

Production Design in the Contemporary American Film

A Critical Study of 23 Movies and Their Designers

By: Beverly Heisner

While the viewer's eyes are trained on the actors, the production design sets the mood for the film. The design also subtly comments on the action and the characters, moves the plot forward and adds to its symbolic content. The production design of 23 films of the 1980s and 1990s is analyzed here. The films are divided into five areas: realistic films set in the present day, stylized films (including horror) set in the present day, period films, period films that move through several decades, and science fiction and fantasy films. Among the movies analyzed are The Silence of the Lambs, She's Gotta Have It, The Fisher King, Ragtime, Barton Fink, Goodfellas, and Alien. The quality of the designs is assessed by a careful reading of the mise-en-scene. Often the designers' own words are used to describe the effects and the process involved in achieving them.

My Road to Ithaca

A Twentieth Century Small History

By: Michael Panayotopoulos,Beverly Bunn

An autobiography, this book is about the events and personalities of one hundred years of modern legends through the eyes of one who has lived it, stated in a uniquely opinionated manner. It includes wars and whores, the inside of business and politics on several continents, with unexpurgated revelations of individuals known to nearly everyone who lived during those times or learned about them since. Royalty, film figures, heads of state, corporate tycoons, and politicians parade through the pages as part of the author's daily life. Twentieth century history comes alive with experiences in Baltic wars, Adolf Hitler's inner circle, Greek government coups, CIA mercenaries in Africa, American heiresses, and the privileges of diplomatic office. Related by one born into riches and relegated to poverty, the narrative progresses via family scoundrels, political involvements, and escape and escapades in America. An unintendedly adventurous life from wealth and privilege to penniless, left with the asset of a brilliant mind to tell the story.

Autumn Passion

By: Beverly A. Rushin

Autumn Passion is a story about love found, love lost and the roller coaster ride that results. It is the story of Laura Benning and her parents. It is the story of Mary and Matt Morgan and their family. But most of all, it is about the emotional impact of happiness and heartache, desire and deception and finally reality and renewal. Kahlil Gibran once wrote, "We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them." This family saga exposes both sides of love and loss and the courage it takes to try again.

Can’t get enough of sexy cowboys? Check out these ten tales of bold, funny, take-charge couples who team up to wrangle a love as big as the Texas sky! The Texas Takedown: Berry Challoner’s going undercover as a secretary to solve her brother’s murder. Surely accountant Tyler Reid, his best friend, can help her follow the money to the killer. But when she’s targeted next, can meek Tyler save the girl who’s captured his heart? What a Texas Girl Wants: The last thing Jackson Taylor wants is a down-to-earth girl like Kathleen Witte, so why did he wake up on a Mexican beach with a ring on his finger? Once they’re back in Texas, this all-business marriage might turn into an all-consuming love. Delicious Deception: Artist Emily Kate Boudreaux runs a restaurant on a Texas bayou because it’s what her family expects. Then sexy chef Connor Rikeland walks into her life and turns her business—and her bed—into one hot adventure. But Connor isn’t who he seems to be, and Emily Kate questions what’s real, what’s a lie, and what’s worth risking her heart over. Sweet Texas Fire: When Gage Cooper’s business nemesis, environmental analyst Charlotte Wilkinson, inherits oil-rich family property, he’ll do anything to reverse this fortune, including eloping to Vegas. But surprising chemistry blossoms and Gage must choose between the land he’s always coveted or a future with Charlotte. A Love Beyond: Convinced her sister’s abusive marriage led to her suicide, A.J. Owens travels to her brother-in-law’s Texas ranch to unearth his secrets. Chance Landin, his head of security, knows there’s something fishy about this gorgeous blonde. Can love triumph over revenge? The Election Connection: War widow Lily Ashton’s heart is closed to love, so she’s the perfect choice to play fiancée to help secure a re-election for her pal, Texas congressman Ford Richardson. Soon, their not-quite engagement starts to feel much more real than either is ready to admit. In the Shadow of Pride: When Lexie Trevena’s matchmaking friends accidentally place her smack in the path of a terrorist in Austin who intends to use her as his pawn, the only person who can help her is Special Agent-in-Charge Luke “Mac” McNeil—the man she holds responsible for her husband’s death. One Last Letter: Jesse Greenwood can only admit his true feelings for heartbreaker Evelyn Lancaster via unsigned letters left on her porch…until another man comes forward to lay claim. Will one final note give them the courage to say yes to love again on the wild Texas plains? Relentless: Battling his partner, his attraction to cowgirl Cody, and the demons of his past, Dallas detective Remy LeBeau must risk it all to catch a serial killer. But it could cost him everything—including Cody’s life. Broken Wings, Soaring Hearts: Hailey Holman is set on keeping her dad’s dream of reopening their small-town Texas base station alive. Jack Stinson wants to escape the pressures of his own family’s airplane manufacturing business. Only with each other’s help, can these two focused pilots have enough faith to soar together.

Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go

Career Conversations Employees Want

By: Beverly Kaye,Julie Winkle Giulioni

The Enhanced Edition includes eight training videos by the co-authors Beverly Kaye and Julie Winkle Giulioni and one animation (total of 27 minutes). The opening video introduces the co-authors and big idea of the book. The closing animation helps readers spread the word digitally about helping people grow. The seven training videos embedded in the chapters provides additional learning concepts and methods such as: Goodbye Career Ladders, Learning Beyond the Classroom, Six Proven Strategies, and Tips for Tipping the Conversation. Study after study confirms that career development is the single most powerful tool managers have for driving retention, engagement, productivity, and results. Nevertheless, it's frequently back-burnered. When asked why, managers say the number one reason is that they just don't have time—for the meetings, the forms, the administrative hoops. But there's a better way. And it's surprisingly simple: frequent short conversations with employees about their career goals and options integrated seamlessly into the normal course of business. Kaye and Giulioni identify three broad types of conversations that have the power to motivate employees more deeply than any well-intentioned development event or process. These conversations will increase employees' awareness of their strengths, weaknesses, and interests; point out where their organization and their industry are headed; and help them pull all of that together to design their own up-to-the-minute, personalized career paths. Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go is filled with practical tips, guidelines, and templates, as well as nearly a hundred suggested conversation questions. Illuminated with the perspectives of real managers and employees, this book proves that careers are best developed one conversation at a time.

Cookies for Breakfast

By: Beverly M. Rathbun

Nonagenarian, Cora Sheffield had been adamant. She was moving out and starting over. Her niece, Rocky, was equally adamant. Cora had lost her mind. After all, Rocky was the one who was being forced to start over. Rocky had lost her job. As it turned out, starting over was amazingly easy for the spunky, eccentric Aunt Cora. Without a second thought she packed her bags and took up residence at an exclusive, assisted living facility. Rocky, on the other hand, couldn't seem to find her way. Every time she managed to clear a path through the mess Aunt Cora had left in her wake, something or someone appeared on the scene to derail her desire for an uncluttered, uncomplicated life. In the end, Cookies for Breakfast reminds us that life isn't lived in a straight line. The unpredictable zig-zags along the way may make the journey a wee bit scary but a lot more fun.
