Tales from the Crib

By: Risa Green

Lara Stone is back again, and nine months of being miserably pregnant was nothing compared to how miserable she is now that her baby has actually arrived. But when Lara’s long-estranged dad shows up with a stripper on his arm, her husband begins flirting with a hot twenty-five year old, and her nanny is casting voodoo spells to keep her from losing that last ten pounds, Lara soon finds that sleepless nights, S&M-like pumping bras and a raging case of the post-baby blues are the least of her problems.

Jonah's Journeys

By: Barbara Green

The book of Jonah has been richly commented upon by centuries of Christians and Jews. Writers of prose and poetry have loved it as well as those interested in liturgy. Jonah is a small book about a man swallowed by a big fish while running from God. Yet it is concerned with issues powerful over time among readers of many types and cultures. In essence, interpreters of Jonah have a great deal of territory to explore. In Jonah's Journeys, Barbara Green, OP, focuses on the character Jonah and explores the variety of way in which the prophet and the book have been represented and understood over the ages. The question of how readers construct meaning is central to the text.

By: Russell Green

Why is making a wedding such a trauma? Well, it brings together two families that just because their children have found love/friendship and common ground, who is to say that the rest of the families will have anything in common? Every emotion is challenged and most of the families take sides over everything from the chair covers and napkin rings to the venue/band and florist. Now put together two families from different religions, different backgrounds and very different financial positions but who live five minutes from each other and have crossed paths on many occasions throughout their early lives, but maybe will never join the dots, or maybe they will, who knows! And see what happens, it’s a chemical reaction that comes from making a wedding. All this takes place whilst some of them have their own major personal dramas going on in their lives, read how it changes them as individuals. This story will send you on an emotional roller coaster, from deep sadness to hilarious stubbornness to joy and laughter. The impact that total strangers have on each other is sometimes life-changing, especially when it forces you to look in a mirror and take stock of what is really important in our own lives.

Digital Media Use in Early Childhood

Birth to Six

By: Lelia Green,Leslie Haddon,Sonia Livingstone,Brian O’Neill,Kylie Stevenson,Donell Holloway

The easy interface of touchscreen technologies like tablets and smartphones has enabled children to access the digital world from a very young age. But while some commentators are enthusiastic about how this can open a new world for fun, learning, and developing digital skills, others see the dangers of yet more screens, inauthentic play, and time spent isolated with electronic babysitters that detract from interaction with parents and learning social skills. Taking five as the age when children transition into formal education, this book draws on a three-year research project examining the realities of under six-year-olds' experiences of these technologies in the UK and Australia. With a theoretical context including Vygotsky, Bruner, Bronfenbrenner and Flewitt, the book examines how parents of young children evaluate the opportunities and risks of children's digital media use in the context of other significant influences such as children's time with grandparents, early childhood care and education. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 22 families, and rich ethnographic data from observation and exchanges with their 29 children, aged four months to five years, the book reveals how digital technologies complement and challenge important aspects of daily life for infants, toddlers and preschoolers.

Father Ghost

By: B. Green

FATHER GHOST weaves the tapestry of a prominent southern family's alcoholic son Erroll Mason, husband of Ruth, father of Skipper and Andrew. Part One of the novel chronicles how a father's addiction shapes the lives of his family. In an era when mothers don't work outside the home, his wife is forced to search for a livelihood she can no longer count on her husband to provide. Like many children of alcoholics, Skipper and Andrew, thirteen months apart in age, excel in academics, sports, and good behavior in hopes of winning their father's love. Both popular among their peers, they avoid close friendships that might bring unexpected visitors to a house filled with secret shame. The brothers, allies in an unnamed war, believe they are the only kids in town whose father is a drunk. Eager to leave the small town of Brenner after high school, each chooses a college far from home. Free of the confines of an unhappy childhood, they begin to discover who they are. Part Two examines the adult lives of Skipper and Andrew Mason and the baggage they're unaware of carrying—denial, buried emotions, depression, and a predisposition for alcoholism. The novel is a story of triumph and tragedy, of strength and weakness, and truth and lies, but in spite of the human frailties exposed on its pages, it is an over-arching story of redemptive love, forgiveness, and grace.

Allan Hubbard

A Man Out of Time

By: Virginia Green

The extraordinary rise and and tragic fall of South Canterbury Finance's Allan Hubbard. Accountant, investor and financier Allan Hubbard was very much loved by thousands of South Islanders, and when his finance company South Canterbury Finance went into receivership, taking the savings of thousands of people with it, it was a huge blow to the country. The subsequent investigation by the Serious Fraud Office was a further blow to Hubbard's reputation. Well known for his generosity, his frugal lifestyle and his entrepreneurship, Hubbard was something of a folk hero and held in very high esteem. This biography tells his story by way of fascinating anecdotes - from his childhood in the Depression through to his successful businesses such as Helicopters NZ, Scales Corporation and the very sad demise of South Canterbury Finance. South Canterbury had been good to Allan and he gave back to the region on a grand scale, helping hundreds of young people onto farms, saving good farmers from bankruptcy and underwriting large-scale projects to bring water to the drought-prone region. This book tells how he fell from being the wealthiest man in the South Island to having no money for groceries after his assets were placed under statutory management. And asks, how did the 'most trusted man in New Zealand' come under investigation by the Serious Fraud Office? How did the much-praised South Canterbury Finance fall into receivership?

A Thorn in Their Side - Hilda Murrell Threatened Britain's Nuclear State. She Was Brutally Murdered. This is the True Story of her Shocking Death

By: Robert Green

In 1984, at the age of 78, world-renowned rose grower Hilda Murrell was found brutally murdered in the Shropshire countryside. She had just gained an approval to testify on the unsolved problems of radioactive waste at the first British planning enquiry into a new nuclear plant at Sizewell, Suffolk.The police theory that a lone, panicking burglar robbed and abducted Hilda in her own car for petty cash erupted into a sensational political conspiracy involving Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's plans for British nuclear energy and the controversial sinking of the Argentine cruiser General Belgrano in the 1982 Falklands War. The West Mercia police took until 2005 to secrure the conviction of Andrew George as Hilda's unlikely murderer - in 1984 he was a 16 year-old truant from a local foster home who could not drive. The case spawned numerous books, plays and TV programmes as it became one of the most baffling British murders of the 20th century.Now, Hilda's nephew Robert Green - a former Royal navy Commander who operated nuclear weapons before holding a key position in Naval Intelligence during the Falklands War - tells the story of his extraordinary pursuit of the truth. Believing that Hilda was abducted by those who wanted to find out what she knew about the Falklands conflict and problems in the Sizewell nuclear power plant, and undeterred by ongoing harassment, Green exposes the implausibility of the police theory and uncovers new evidence that should have acquitted Andrew George.This is the incredible true story of Hilda Murrell - and of one man's quest to find out how and why his beloved aunt met with such a violent and bizarre death.

The Lost Gospel of Mary: Mother of Jesus in Three Ancient Texts

The Mother of Jesus in Three Ancient Texts

By: Frederica Mathewes-Green

Click Here to listen to an interview with Frederica Mathewes-Green. Some Christians have piled the status of the mother of Jesus so high that it rivals that of her Son. Others ignore the Virgin Mary entirely. Behind all of the images is a girl who grew up to be the mother of Christ. How did the first Christians view her? What were the commonly understood facts about the Blessed Mother's early life --- before the Annunciation? How did Mary, the mother of Jesus, become the Theotokos? Frederica Mathewes-Green opens up the Virgin Mary's early life, offering a window into her centrality to the Christian Faith in new and sometimes startling ways. “Do you want to get to know Mary a bit better? Are you interested in entering a faithful Marian spirituality? Let Frederica Mathewes-Green facilitate a rich, traditional, authentic meeting of Mary. When it comes to spending time with the mother of our Lord, this book is second only to Scripture.” Lauren F. Winner, author of Girl Meets God, Mudhouse Sabbath, and Real Sex “The Mary that Frederica Mathewes-Green gives us in these winsome texts–a palpably real woman, at once humble and exalted--transcends the differences that persist even today among the main streams of the Christian tradition, not least because this Mary points beyond herself to the ultimate source of our hope and our joy. -John Wilson, editor, Books & Culture "Frederica Mathewes-Green is a sparkling writer. In The Lost Gospel of Mary, not only is her material fascinating, but so is her perspective as a thoughtful and irenic Orthodox Christian. There is much here to warm the heart as it engages the mind from here to warm the heart as it engages the mind from early in our comon Christian tradition." - Brian McLaren, author of A Generous Orthodoxy and www.brianmclaren.net.

The Politics of Indian Removal

Creek Government and Society in Crisis

By: Michael D. Green

In the two decades after their defeat by the United States in the Creek War in 1814, the Creek Indians of Georgia and Alabama came under increasing?ultimately irresistible?pressure from state and federal governments to abandon their homeland and retreat westward. That historic move came in 1836. This study, based heavily on a wide variety of primary sources, is distinguished for its Creek perspective on tribal affairs during a period of upheaval.

The Mastery of Music

Ten Pathways to True Artistry

By: Barry Green

The Inner Game of Music, the breakout hit that became a standard primer in the music world, has taught thousands of musicians—professionals and amateurs alike—how to overcome self-consciousness and stage fright and to recapture a youthful, almost effortless capacity to learn. Now, in his follow-up book, The Mastery of Music, Barry Green turns his expert hand to the artistic qualities that make an extraordinary musician. Culling advice from dozens of interviews with legends including Joshua Bell, Dave Brubeck, Jeffrey Kahane, Bobby McFerrin, Christopher Parkening, Doc Severinsen, Frederica von Stade, the Harlem Boys Choir, and the Turtle Island String Quartet, he reveals that it’s not enough to have a cerebral and emotional connection to the notes. Green hows how musical excellence, exhibited by true virtuosos, requires a mastery of ten unique qualities of the soul and the human spirit, such as confidence, passion, discipline, creativity, and relaxed concentration, and he discusses specific ways in which all musicians, composers, and conductors can take their skills to higher levels. He carefully incorporates all instruments and techniques in his rejuvenating discussions, inspiring the stifled student to have fun again and the over-rehearsed performer to rediscover the joy of passionate expression. Essential reading for every musician, The Mastery of Music strikes a beautiful new chord.

Notes From The Underbelly

By: Risa Green

As a guidance counselor at an elite, Bel Air high school, Lara Stone works with spoiled, bratty kids every day, and she is definitely not ready to have any spoiled, bratty kids of her own. At least, not now. Not when her life is going so well, and certainly not since she has finally managed to kick-box and low-carb herself down to a perfect size four. But Lara’s husband has different ideas, and they include fatherhood. Now. Suddenly, Lara finds herself deep within the underbelly of pregnancy. A far cry from the blissful, glowing mother-to-be, Lara is instead a cranky, reluctant participant in all things baby. And her mood doesn’t improve when she’s given the task of getting one of her students—the punk, outcast daughter of a famous movie director—into a highly competitive college. But as Lara struggles with uncontrollable crying, inexplicable weight gain, and scary hemorrhoids, she finds that she has maternal instincts she never thought she had, and discovers that expecting is nothing like she ever expected.

Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels (2nd edn)

A Compendium Of Contemporary Biblical Scholarship

By: J B GREEN,J BROWN,N PERRIN

The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels is unique among reference books on the Bible, the first volume of its kind since James Hastings published his Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels in 1909. In the more than eight decades since Hastings, our understanding of Jesus, the Evangelists and their world has grown remarkably. New interpretive methods illumined the text, the ever-changing profile of modern culture has put new questions to the Gospels, and our understanding of the Judaism of Jesus's day has advanced in ways that could not have been predicted in Hastings's day. But for many readers of the Gospels the new outlook on the Gospels remains hidden within technical journals and academic monographs. The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels bridges the gap between scholars and those pastors, teachers, students and lay people desiring in-depth treatment of select topics in an accessible and summary format. The topics range from cross-sectional themes (such as faith, law, Sabbath) to methods of interpretation (such as form criticism, redaction criticism, sociological approaches), from key events (such as the birth, temptation and death of Jesus) to each of the four Gospels as a whole. Some articles - such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, rabbinic traditions and revolutionary movements at the time of Jesus - provide significant background information to the Gospels. Others reflect recent and less familiar issues in Jesus and Gospel studies, such as divine man, ancient rhetoric and the chreiai. Contemporary concerns of general interest are discusses in articles covering such topics as healing, the demonic and the historical reliability of the Gospels. And for those entrusted with communicating the message of the Gospels, there is an extensive article on preaching from the Gospels. The Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels presents the fruit of evangelical New Testament scholarship at the end of the twentieth century - committed to the authority of Scripture, utilising the best of critical methods, and maintaining dialog with contemporary scholarship and challenges facing the church.

Five Hundred Years of America, 1492-1992

By: Rose Basile Green

Five hundred years after Columbus first made the world aware of a Western habitation between Europe and Asia, the global populace celebrates the discovery that certified the international framework. In this series of sonnets segmented by century, Rose Basile Green gives beat, rhyme, and metaphor to the facts, the people, and the actions that chronologically realized the idealism that developed the United States of America as the New World of equality, liberty, and justice for all." "With the celebration of the founding, integrating, and acclamation of places and events of this New World where people have pursued and achieved the reward of their efforts, Green reviews, personifies, and poeticizes the realization of the American Dream. With Five Hundred Years of America, 1492-1992, the poet creates a volume structured according to the sequential events within five centuries of the development and population of the nation." "Inspired by the affirmation asserted by Robert E. Spiller and Roy Nichols, professors and Americana sources at the University of Pennsylvania who formulated the outline of studies for Green, the scholar thus presents rhythmically the history of the United States that she has absorbed from the many historians she studied as she achieved her Doctor of Philosophy in American Civilization." "From the preface, which states that "Columbus broke the path to the New World/Across the sea in fourteen ninety-two," the poems proceed to include the people and the progress that historians have recognized as the distinguished growth of the U.S.A. for five hundred years. With the celebration of places and events where individuals have pursued their personal ambitions, the poet-historian particularizes, summarizes, and validates the leadership of the America of today." "Progressing from the global sights of Columbus, moving with an awareness of Natives, advancing the pursuit of immigrants seeking freedom from Old World tyranny, and heightening to the structure of a powerful democracy, America evolves in the poems as the model of humanity striving for the equality of opportunity, effort, achievement, success, and recognition." "The reader is invited, as the poet pronounces in her dedication, "to live your history, dear U.S.A., Accept this poetry just as one way." The volume then moves from The Real Discovery through the five centuries to the realization that, with Sempre America, one is able to Sail On And On to the universal chorale of the voyage with the Columbian Hymn. Green hopefully trusts that these poems will inspire all citizens wherever they are in the world to pursue the American Dream."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
