Ollie Osprey's Bully Challenge

By: Dee Kamp

What can an osprey named Ollie do when a bigger, faster, and stronger bald eagle named Eglon moves into his neighborhood and begins to bully Ollie by stealing every fish he catches for his dinner? Ollie has been trying on his own to figure out how to avoid Eglon, and nothing seems to work. Ollie is embarrassed at how scared he is of this bully and how many times he has failed to protect himself and keep his dinner. But a good friend, a turtle named Thaddeus, notices Ollie isn't himself lately and offers some good advice. But can a friend who doesn't even fly help Ollie? Will his crazy idea work? And can a bunch of noisy, bothersome flock of seagulls really be able to help Ollie? Ollie Osprey's Bully Challenge shows children you need friends to stand against a bully. You need to share this problem, not hide it. Ollie Osprey has action, suspense, humor, and, a message a child can relate to when they feel they are alone and have no recourse. Ollie has a good ending to a bad situation.

How A Dog-Girl Turned Rocker

By: Dee Dee Rivera

Between the years 2005 to 2007, Ms. Rivera kept an online blog at MSN. Most pronounced are her innermost thoughts about the men of the rock group INXS. Also included are her experiences with breeding chihuahuas, showing, evil show breeders, other INXS fans, and Rockstar: INXS. The story begins in April of 2005, when the diary began, and a short-lived battle she had with a contemptible teenager named Serena Weiner, who first came to Ms. Rivera in 2003, hoping to learn how to breed chihuahuas the right way, but yet could not handle the truth. Read about Dee's trip to LA to meet her favorite band, INXS with a woman named Danna Ballswinger. Read about her struggles to keep her kennel together. Read about how she conquered her nemesis, Catsredrum, and also how she got out of breeding after the loss of her favorite dog, Groucho. Also included within the entries are follow-up paragraphs that describe in further detail what she was thinking when she wrote each blog entry.

The Important Things of Life

Women, Work, and Family in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, 1880-1929

By: Dee Garceau-Hagen

Augmented by reminiscences and oral histories, this book traces the adaptations that broadened women's work roles and increased their domestic authority. Garceau also demonstrates how survival on the ranching and mining frontier heightened the value of group cooperation. Hers is a compelling portrait of the American West as a laboratory of gender role change, in which migration, relocation, and new settlement underscored the development of new social identities.

Sandtrap

The Mathematical Genius - Dog

By: Dee-Marie Girman

This is an amazing story about the Republican Party and how they lost control of the Senate, House of Representatives, the Oval office...and themselves. Terrell Sims is a young African-American pastor catapulted to political success by the Republican Party. As the new mayor of Milwaukee, a predominantly liberal city, Terrell must pave the wave for the moral majority. Each problem Terrell is confronted with is an actual story taken from real-life events in which the media has brushed over, embellished or completely ignored! From the Iran-Contra scandal, to the Iraq war and an out-and-out abuse of political power tilted away from diversity and true democracy, this novel brings entertainment as well as enlightenment from an inner-city perspective. After spending years criticizing his African-American people for their lawlessness, Terrell's very own peers, one at a time, are being exposed for the very issues they profess only exists with minorities and liberal Democrats: divorce, fornication, drug and alcohol abuse, homosexuality, pedophilia, out of control spending, you name it, Terrell's party did it. And now he is forced to reckon with, not only his patriotism toward his country when an African-American gets elected President of the United Stated by Democrats, but his faith in God which is challenged when his wife, Theresa is diagnosed with AIDS. This narrative relives many of the events that led to the demise of the Republican Party as well as the rise of the Democratic Party. This novel does not bash one party for another, rather it is an infectious story about a family who grows into understanding that both parties have fallen short of what they promised to their constituents: Family Values for Republicans and Civil Rights for Democrats. This is my story of how we got to where we are today.

He struggles to make appropriate choices that would ultimately help him rise above the conflicts and temptations he faces.

Four Fields

By: Tim Dee

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Four Fields

By: Tim Dee

In this book, Tim Dee tells the story of four green fields spread around the world: their grasses, their hedges, their birds, their skies, and both their natural and human histories. These four fields—walkable, mappable, man–made, mowable, knowable, but also secretive, mysterious, wild, contested, and changing—play central roles in the sweeping panorama of world history and in the lives of individuals. In Dee's telling, a field is never just a setting for great battles or natural disasters, though it is often this as well. A field is the oldest and simplest and truest measure of what a man needs in life, especially when looked at, contemplated, worked in, lived with, and written about. Dee's four fields, which he has known and studied for more than twenty years, are the fen field at the bottom of his private garden, a field in southern Zambia, a prairie in Little Bighorn, Montana, and a grass meadow in the Exclusion Zone at Chernobyl, Ukraine. Meditating on these four fields, Dee makes us look anew at where we live and how. He argues that we must attend to what we have made of the wild.

Teaching

It's Harder Than It Looks

By: Gerry Dee

Hilarious, cringe-inducing stories about teachers, students and parents, from CBC star of Mr. D, one of Canada's hottest comedic talents. Gerry Dee is a rising comic star whose humour has been compared to Bill Cosby's. He spent ten years working as a teacher and survived (barely) to tell his tales. Told from the honest point-of-view of a not-so-good, often-very-bad public school teacher--the kind who teaches hungover (and lies about it), loses his students' exams (and lies about it), and stages an impromptu baseball game in the middle of history class just to kill some time, Teaching: It's Harder Than It Looks is Mr. D at his best. This book collects Gerry's funniest anecdotes about teaching, about students and about their parents. As Gerry's ode to school life, it's sure to bring back a memory or two, whether you were the teacher's pet or the class clown. Throughout, he offers tongue-in-cheek "Teacher Tips and Tricks," uncomfortable notes to parents, awkward report cards and all manner of memorabilia of school days. He's extremely funny, on the page as well as in person, and he's the kind of personality who will reach out beyond his own core comedy audience to a broad demographic of educators, parents and students who relate to his humour and experiences.

Understanding International Politics

The Student Toolkit

By: Megan Dee

- How did today's international systems emerge, and how are they shaped by war, unequal development and international cooperation? - How do individuals, firms, international organisations, and nation states operate within these systems? - How can students apply theories of global politics using real-world examples? Understanding International Politics offers a comprehensive and accessible guide to the key systems, actors, and issues of international politics. It covers core concepts and questions for political study, and presents a 'toolkit' that enables students to apply theory and historical context in independent research. This introduction frames complex international systems coherently by focusing on political players, and, as a single-authored work, delivers a consistent critical approach throughout. This authoritative and clearly organised textbook offers: - Contemporary examples and case-studies for approaching international relations from the perspective of its actors - 'How to' guides, including methods for constructing an argument, conducting analysis, and preparing a policy brief - Companion digital resources for both students and lecturers, including lecture slides, a testbank, role-play exercises, and discussion materials, adaptable to various class sizes - A thorough grounding in Marxist, feminist and postcolonial perspectives, as well as more traditional viewpoints

Charlie's Pride

A Novel

By: Dee Hubbard

An intriguing novel about a great river."—Jimmy Carter Charlie, the proud hero of this strong and gripping story, is known to his fellow truckers, loggers, and fishermen as Hawk. His father, a full-blooded Hupok, taught him his Indian heritage; his Scots-Irish mother gave him a lifelong love of reading. He feels connected to both roots, but he is most himself when he’s by himself, out in the forest, on the banks or in the flow of his beloved Klamath River. The language in this novel is lush and romantic. Lots of thoughtful philosophy is verbalized in internal thoughts and stream of consciousness. In the mix we are treated to solid information on fly fishing, trucking, logging, the marijuana industry, and most of all the ecology of the forests and rivers of the California far north, a land that still enjoys wildness.

Timon of Phlius

Pyrrhonism into Poetry

By: Dee L. Clayman

Timon of Phlius

Pyrrhonism into Poetry

By: Dee L. Clayman

Early Skepticism and its founder, Pyrrho of Elis, were introduced to the world in the third century BCE by the poet and philosopher Timon of Phlius. This is the first book-length study in English of the fragments of Timon’s works. Of his more than 100 titles, four fragments remain of a catalogue elegy, the Indalmoi, and 133 verses of the Silloi, a hexameter parody in three books in which Timon ridicules philosophers of all periods whom he observes on a trip to Hades. Dee L. Clayman reconstructs the books of the Silloi starting from an outline in Diogenes Laertius and the book numbers assigned to a few fragments by their sources. This has not been attempted since Wachsmuth’s edition of 1885, and carries his approach further by careful observation of syntactic and contextual clues in the text. Using the Greek text of Lloyd-Jones and Parsons of 1983, all of the extant fragments are translated into English and discussed as literature, rather than as source material for the history of philosophy. Separate chapters demonstrate that the principle Hellenistic poets, Callimachus, Theocritus and Apollonius of Rhodes, were aware of Timon’s work specifically, and of Skepticism generally. The book concludes with a definition of “Skeptical aesthetics” that places many of the characteristic features of Hellenistic literature in a skeptical milieu.

By: Barbara Dee

2019 The Washington Post Best Children’s Book of the Year (Erin Entrada Kelly Pick) A 2020 ALA Notable Children’s Book “The novel’s all-too-familiar scenario offers a springboard for discussion among middle schoolers…Easily grasped scenarios and short chapters help make this timely #MeToo story accessible to a wide audience.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Realistic and heartbreaking.” —BCCB Barbara Dee explores the subject of #MeToo for the middle grade audience in this heart-wrenching—and ultimately uplifting—novel about experiencing harassment and unwanted attention from classmates. For seventh-grader Mila, it starts with some boys giving her an unwanted hug on the school blacktop. A few days later, at recess, one of the boys (and fellow trumpet player) Callum tells Mila it’s his birthday, and asks her for a “birthday hug.” He’s just being friendly, isn’t he? And how can she say no? But Callum’s hug lasts a few seconds too long, and feels…weird. According to her friend, Zara, Mila is being immature and overreacting. Doesn’t she know what flirting looks like? But the boys don’t leave Mila alone. On the bus. In the halls. During band practice—the one place Mila could always escape. It doesn’t feel like flirting—so what is it? Thanks to a chance meeting, Mila begins to find solace in a new place: karate class. Slowly, with the help of a fellow classmate, Mila learns how to stand her ground and how to respect others—and herself. From the author of Everything I Know About You, Halfway Normal, and Star-Crossed comes this timely story of a middle school girl standing up and finding her voice.

Violets Are Blue

By: Barbara Dee

From the author of the acclaimed My Life in the Fish Tank and Maybe He Just Likes You comes a moving and relatable middle grade novel about secrets, family, and the power of forgiveness. Twelve-year-old Wren loves makeup—special effect makeup, to be exact. When she is experimenting with new looks, Wren can create a different version of herself. A girl who isn’t in a sort-of-best friendship with someone who seems like she hates her. A girl whose parents aren’t divorced and doesn’t have to learn to like her new stepmom. So, when Wren and her mom move to a new town for a fresh start, she is cautiously optimistic. And things seem to fall into place when Wren meets potential friends and gets selected as the makeup artist for her school’s upcoming production of Wicked. Only, Wren’s mom isn’t doing so well. She’s taking a lot of naps, starts snapping at Wren for no reason, and always seems to be sick. And what’s worse, Wren keeps getting hints that things aren’t going well at her new job at the hospital, where her mom is a nurse. And after an opening night disaster leads to a heartbreaking discovery, Wren realizes that her mother has a serious problem—a problem that can’t be wiped away or covered up. After all the progress she’s made, can Wren start over again with her devastating new normal? And will she ever be able to heal the broken trust with her mom?

When the Valley's White with Snow

By: Anna Dee

The title is from the song 'Danny Boy' which runs throughout the book. It is an autobiographical novel depicting life in an Orphanage as a child, leaving at eight years, and growing up in the 50s to 60s eras. It involves explicit sex, violence, abuse, attempted murder, and adultery resulting in falling in love. My violent husband caused us to hide our feelings for each other, until Ken unable to hold back his emotions any longer courageously stood up and sang 'Danny Boy' in public, using the words, to declare his love openly for me. (My husband Kevin was a few feet away).

EXIT STAGE LEFT

By: Aro Dee

These are all hoop-snake stories. That doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with them ... just that they fit the classification of 'stories that you can believe, or not believe'. It doesn't even mean that they might not be true, but they might not be. In this collection at least, almost all of them are true stories, some may not be believable but do give it a shot to believe! Australians, at least those that live outside the Big Smoke, are the people most likely to tell you a hoop-snake story. You know the type, likeable, happy to buy you a drink. The Where're ya from? kind of person. Quite likely wearing a large but very strangely shaped hat .... Elastic-sided boots. Shorts and no socks, probably not a tee shirt, unless it's a company one. Probably has a couple of mates nearby, to back up his stories ... that is, to corroborate or confirm what he's just told you. So, if you are planning to visit Australia WATCH OUT for this person, probably a bloke. And for hoop-snakes!

Subversive Habits

Black Catholic Nuns in the Long African American Freedom Struggle

By: Shannen Dee Williams

In Subversive Habits, Shannen Dee Williams provides the first full history of Black Catholic nuns in the United States, hailing them as the forgotten prophets of Catholicism and democracy. Drawing on oral histories and previously sealed Church records, Williams demonstrates how master narratives of women’s religious life and Catholic commitments to racial and gender justice fundamentally change when the lives and experiences of African American nuns are taken seriously. For Black Catholic women and girls, embracing the celibate religious state constituted a radical act of resistance to white supremacy and the sexual terrorism built into chattel slavery and segregation. Williams shows how Black sisters—such as Sister Mary Antona Ebo, who was the only Black member of the inaugural delegation of Catholic sisters to travel to Selma, Alabama, and join the Black voting rights marches of 1965—were pioneering religious leaders, educators, healthcare professionals, desegregation foot soldiers, Black Power activists, and womanist theologians. In the process, Williams calls attention to Catholic women’s religious life as a stronghold of white supremacy and racial segregation—and thus an important battleground in the long African American freedom struggle.

Year on the Wing

Four Seasons in a Life with Birds

By: Tim Dee

Birds -- those "upgiven ghosts" who shape our skies -- and their many styles of flying have inspired us for centuries. Tim Dee became enthralled with birds as a young boy, and their allure has informed how he perceives time as well as how he sees the world and his place in it. Compelling and poetic, A Year on the Wing is a month-by-month account of following these magnificent creatures, on land, at sea, and in the air, over the course of one "dew-dipped year." A memoir of the author's life as well as of the birds' migrations, the book draws on memories of forty years of observing birds as Dee explores the ideas and feelings that birds awaken in their flying, breeding, and dying. A Year on the Wing is also a significant chronicle of Dee's rich reading of a gorgeous literary tradition about birds -- from Aristotle to Thomas Hardy, Dante to Pound, Wordsworth to Ted Hughes -- as well as naturalists' writings that train a scientific eye on these elusive creatures. With a poet's marvelous commingling of nature and language, Dee finds meaning and a fascinating beauty in the quiver of a redstart's tail, elegizes the thrilling skydiving stoop of the once-endangered, now resurgent peregrine falcon, and reflects on the nocturnal restlessness of migrant woodcocks that is suggestive of how nature encodes us all. A Year on the Wing brings us as close as possible to birds, as we seek to understand the unique connection between us and them as well as our separation from them and, by extension, our estrangement from all of nature. Watching birds instills a renewed sense of wonder, getting us airborne and expanding our horizons. This vicarious liftoff does us good in a way hard to define but incontestably felt. It also makes us ever aware of our place on the ground. Dee homes in on those moments when the gap narrows between humans and birds, when birds' freedom gives us our own, making our lives more vibrant and alive. The first book from an exciting new literary voice, this beautifully written memoir celebrates birds and the inspiration they provide through their twice-yearly winged migrations.
