In recent years everyone from politicians to celebrity chefs has been proselytizing about how we should grow, buy, prepare, present, cook, taste, eat and dispose of food. In light of this, contributors to this book argue that food has become the target of intensified pedagogical activity across a range of domains, including schools, supermarkets, families, advertising and TV media. Illustrated with a range of empirical studies, this edited and interdisciplinary volume - the first book on food pedagogies - develops innovative and theoretical perspectives to problematize the practices of teaching and learning about food. While many different pedagogues - policy makers, churches, activists, health educators, schools, tourist agencies, chefs - think we do not know enough about food and what to do with it, the aims, effects and politics of these pedagogies has been much less studied. Drawing on a range of international studies, diverse contexts, genres and different methods, this book provides new sites of investigation and lines of inquiry. As a result of its broad ranging critical evaluation of ‘food as classroom’ and ‘food as teacher’, it provides theoretical resources for opening up the concept of pedagogy, and assessing the moralities and politics of teaching and learning about food in the classroom and beyond.
THE LAST TRAIN TO HEAVEN, is a story for kids from teens to 99. Like a slow starting train, leaving the station, the story accelerates to an earth-shattering conclusion. Justin Mann is graduating from High School. Events have guaranteed that, to say the least, this will be memorable event. He has no idea that events put in motion on the other side of the world will dictate the outcome of this special evening. Vassily Provotich and three of his friends have been recruited into an extremely secretive project. They were only told that the task they are about to complete was essential to saving the Russian space program. How will four graduate engineering students and a prophet of doom contribute to this otherwise seemingly innocuous night and how many of Justins friends will actually get to ride that last train to heaven? What will Justin do when he discovers that the old saying, Seeing is believing, is backwards?
Sometimes life hands you lemons. In this collection of jokes, autobiography, and personal philosophy, author and businessman Dr. J. T. Dock Houk makes an ocean of lemonade. Life’s a Joke compiles four books – “It’s All About Me,” “My Life with a Girl,” “Kids and Pets,” and “Life Around Us” – recounting 1,162 jokes, funny anecdotes, and descriptions of Sunday morning comics, clippings of which Dock has been collecting for an incredible amount of decades. As the author writes, “What I mean to convey by saying ‘life is a joke’ is that humor has helped me over some of the rough spots by showing me a side of life that either explains what I am feeling, or gives me a glimpse of something I also see. Humor, whose visual expression is often a joke, makes me smile or even laugh out loud. And sometimes, if you don’t laugh, you might cry.” So crack open Life’s a Joke and crack a smile. You might learn a little wisdom – but if not, at least you’ll get a laugh

In Search of His Spirit "Mary McNeil," Bob said with a twinkle in his eyes as he got down on one knee. He smiled and said, "Will you marry me?" "Oh!" she shrieked. "Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes!" As Bob stood up and reached into his pocket for the ring, Mary jumped into his arms nearly knocking him over. Applause filled the restaurant. Suddenly, three masked men burst through the front door of the restaurant, and three gunshots rang out. Dust fell from where the bullets had penetrated the ceiling. "I can't give him my new engagement ring," Mary whispered tearfully. Mary's life changed in an instant. Her happy, church-oriented life was destroyed. "I don't want to go on living," Mary said when she awakened the next morning. "The joy has gone out of my life. How could God let this happen? God has let me down, and I'm through with Him." Mary's mother had been keeping a shocking secret for twenty-eight years. Was now the time to tell Mary about it? Mary's happiness and even her life might depend on it. Seemingly unrelated events and people are drawn together as God's plan is slowly and painstakingly worked out.

It was quite a task deciding on a title for this no sense, nonsense, makes no sense compiled literature over the past years. I decided on this simple title. Because of my attraction to quotations, to quips, witticisms; ad lib one liners, etc. Whatever was said or by circumstance read I stored them in the back of my mind. I jotted them down on whatever napkin, receipt or piece of paper that was handy. This came about during social conversations with friends, relatives, celebrities, politicians, whomever. Some are mere questions, some are in fact excerpts from my first book. “I don’t understand.” Credit was given to those I could. Not being aware of their “Off the Cuff” statements they bounced off my head as being funny, impactful, noteworthy, stupid or tone fully intellectual. I modified, twisted or extended most of them to my mindset as I was writing. For the most part all are my original quotes/writings and poems. If I were a baker I would describe my book as: 1 cup of wisdom 1⁄2 cup of knowledge 1 ounce of thought 1 pinch of reason 1 grain of stupidity or an “Downside Up Cake” BEWARE: Decipher book’s Littter-8-chewer carefully!!!! “A sam hamich and a coff a cupee”! Pick me up, put me down, pick me up, read me over and over again.

It is not a how to bookit is a God can book. Those are the words Dr. Wilder heard in her spirit regarding the intended purpose for this book. She has endeavored to stay true to the assignment.

Yet, at an early age he was chosen by God to mount the throne of a Kingdom that already had a reigning king.

The double bass - the preferred bass instrument in popular music during the 1960s - was challenged and subsequently superseded by the advent of a new electric bass instrument. From the mid-1960s and throughout the 1970s, a melismatic and inconsistent approach towards the bass role ensued, which contributed to a major change in how the electric bass was used in performance and perceived in the sonic landscape of mainstream popular music. Investigating the performance practice of the new, melodic role of the electric bass as it appeared (and disappeared) in the 1960s and 1970s, the book turns to the number one songs of the American Billboard Hot 100 charts between 1951 and 1982 as a prime source. Through interviews with players from this era, numerous transcriptions - elaborations of twenty bass related features - are presented. These are juxtaposed with a critical study of four key players, who provide the case-studies for examining the performance practice of the melodic electric bass. This highly original book will be of interest not only to bass players, but also to popular musicologists looking for a way to instigate methodological and theoretical discussions on how to develop popular music analysis.
This is a true story of my wonderful marriage, and the people involved are still alive except for Dorothy. Before I retired I was able to buy our lake home in Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin, and Dorothy would spend summers there with our two youngest children. This was lake property ceded from the Chippewa Indians and had been owned by Dorothys aunt. After my retirement this became our permanent home for next thirty years. People there call it Gods country, because it is so peaceful and quietexcept in the summer with the influx of tourists. For one of the Fourth of July parades in the town, the Broz clan of about twenty joined in. With our yellow T-shirts and our family tree on the back, we all had kazoos, making music as we marched along. We won first prize. Perhaps some day we might have a St. Dorothy of Lac du Flambeau.

A compelling look at violence and trauma from the psychiatrist who treated mass shooter James Holmes, perpetrator of the infamous movie theater massacre. As an expert and speaker on mass shootings and gun violence, Dr. Lynn Fenton knew it was impossible to “spot a killer.” But when she met her new patient, troubled grad student James Holmes, the hair on her arms stood up. She feared he was going to kill. Yet she could find no way to thwart him. A few months later, Holmes struck: he entered a packed movie theater and opened fire, killing twelve people and wounding seventy; some were left brain damaged, several were paralyzed for life. Immediately the familiar debates reignited: The crisis of mental health access. More restrictive gun laws vs more “good guys with guns.” The morality of the death penalty. The legitimacy of the insanity defense. But what about the victims and bystanders whose lives would never be the same? Dr. Fenton’s memoir is a voice for them. Her inability to thwart Holmes’s mass murder made her a scapegoat and elicited innumerable death threats. Her chilling account provides an intimate look at her life before and after the Aurora massacre, as well as alarming insight into the sinister patient who called himself “fear incarnate.” With unprecedented access to thousands of pages of documents, audio and video recordings, trial transcripts, medical records, and notes, Aurora attempts to answer the question Holmes himself posed in his infamous notebook: “Why? Why? Why?”
