Goodnight, Bob is a blending of two stories; it spans 51 years and chronicles a love affair between a 15-year-old girl and a 21-year-old young man, who elope on a dare from a friend. The book describes the struggles and successes of a woman who became a wife and mother, while still a child herself. Bob was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in 2002. ALS is a debilitating, neurodegenerative illness that slowly leads to paralysis and death. Goodnight, Bob speaks of the inevitable difficulties and relentless stress we experienced as our relationship slowly evolved from that of husband and wife to that of patient and caregiver. Our story is written honestly and bluntly, with all struggles, mistakes, and pain revealed, along with the humorous, vulnerable, and loving times. Goodnight, Bob was written with the hope that those who are living with a debilitating illness will know they are not alone.

The Egyptian Collection at Norwich Castle Museum

Catalogue and Essays

By: Faye Kalloniatis

The Egyptian Collection at Norwich Castle Museum represents the first full publication of this important collection which contains several outstanding objects. Part 1 begins with an outline of the acquisition history of the Egyptian collection and its display within Norwich Castle in 1894, when it was converted from a prison to a museum. The collection was largely acquired between the nineteenth and first part of the twentieth centuries. Its most prominent donor was Flaxman Spurrell, whose varied collection of flints, faience beads and necklaces as well as Late Antique cloths was obtained from Sir Flinders Petrie. Also prominent was the Norwich-based Colman family, most notable for its manufacture of mustard, whose collection was purchased in Egypt during the late-C19. Also included in this part are essays on several of the museum’s outstanding items – Ipu’s shroud, a rare early 18th Dynasty example with fragments also held in Cairo; the 22nd Dynasty finely decorated and well-preserved cartonnage and wooden lid of the priest, Ankh-hor; and the exceptional model granary of Nile clay painted with lively scenes, one showing the owner, Intef, playing senet. Part 2 is a detailed catalogue of the complete collection. It is organised into sections with objects grouped together mainly according to type – stelae, shabtis, scarabs, jewellery, amulets, vessels, flints, lamps, inscribed Book of the Dead fragments, metal figurines, and Late Antique cloths; and also according to function – such as cosmetics& grooming, and architectural & furniture elements. The inscribed materials have all been translated and individual entries give examples or parallels. Seventy colour plates illustrate each object.

Happiness Hollow

Happiness Hollow

By: Faye Lewellen

We all fear loss of independence, aging, and death. Helen certainly does when she comes to live at Happiness Hollow, an assisted-living facility described by some residents as a cult in which they are killed with kindness. Choosing the wrong path to maintain her independence, Helen finds her life and health going downhill. During her heart attack, however, she receives a powerful vision which renews her lagging faith and gives her a mission. That mission is to use the seven sacraments in unorthodox ways to teach the Art of Living and the Art of Dying, and to liberate a small group of residents who, like her, have lost all joy, meaning, and purpose in their lives. Overcoming challenges, Helen and her group go on to revolutionize Happiness Hollow and beyond. Aging and death are difficult topics to discuss, especially with those you love. This lighthearted story, replete with romance and mystery, follows this diverse band of residents as they derive peace and wisdom from their long histories, explore their fears and beliefs about death, find new strength and purpose, and create a positive and loving environment for themselves. Happiness Hollow, with humor and probing questions, gently opens the way for introspection and discussion. The reading list at the end directs you to further resources.

Concentrate

Poems

By: Courtney Faye Taylor

Winner of the 2021 Cave Canem Poetry Prize, selected by Rachel Eliza Griffiths In her virtuosic debut, Courtney Faye Taylor explores the under-told history of the murder of Latasha Harlins—a fifteen-year-old Black girl killed by a Korean shop owner, Soon Ja Du, after being falsely accused of shoplifting a bottle of orange juice. Harlins’s murder and the following trial, which resulted in no prison time for Du, were inciting incidents of the 1992 Los Angeles uprising, and came to exemplify the long-fraught relationship between Black and Asian American communities in the United States. Through a collage-like approach to collective history and storytelling, Taylor’s poems present a profound look into the insidious points at which violence originates against—and between—women of color. Concentrate displays an astounding breadth of form and experimentation in found texts, micro-essays, and visual poems, merging worlds and bending time in order to interrogate inexorable encounters with American patriarchy and White supremacy manifested as sexual and racially charged violence. These poems demand absolute focus on Black womanhood’s relentless refusal to be unseen, even and especially when such luminosity exposes an exceptional vulnerability to harm and erasure. Taylor’s inventive, intimate book radically reconsiders the cost of memory, forging a path to a future rooted in solidarity and possibility. “Concentrate,” she writes. “We have decisions to make. Fire is that decision to make.”

Biomechanics of Human Communication

Neurophysiology, Regulation, and Systems Thinking

By: S. Faye Molicki

The purpose of this book is to create a neurophysiology-based framework for assessing and improving mental health. It introduces measurable and neurobiologically-informed concepts and language to help professionals and organizations decrease stigma related to mental health and increase awareness of a new paradigm. This new, emerging paradigm moves away from previous language related to mental and psychological health, and moves towards language that focuses on promoting systems resilience and neurological adaptability through measurable neurophysiological mechanisms. It explores human communication patterns through the lens of neurophysiology, systems thinking, the Neurovisceral Integration Model, and attachment frameworks. This book will give people who are in helping professions - coaches, therapists, teachers, first responders - and leaders of all sorts - a new map and vocabulary for understanding mental health in terms of nervous system mechanisms for detecting and creating safety. FEATURES: Provides examples of brain maps (quantitative EEGs) related to issues with Signal Flow Features illustrations of biomechanical principles of nervous system mechanisms for signal transmission and detection A map for using neurophysiology-based language to describe current concepts in psychology, therapy, and mental health.
