A Fly in a Pail of Milk

The Herb Carnegie Story

By: Herb Carnegie,Bernice Carnegie

Revised and updated with commentary from Bernice Carnegie, Herb’s daughter, and life lessons passed from father to daughter Herbert Carnegie was the complete hockey package in the 1940s and 1950s. Though his contributions to society both in sport and education have been referenced and profiled in books, documentaries, and thousands of articles, this is Carnegie’s own account of striving to break the glass ceiling, starting with his career as a professional hockey player on all-white teams. In 1978, noted hockey journalist Stan Fischler wrote a powerful headline about Carnegie: “Born Too Soon.” A Fly in a Pail of Milk reveals the feelings of a trailblazer — a man who proved to be unstoppable on the ice and in his resolve to make our world a better place. In this new edition, Herb’s daughter Bernice Carnegie shares stories about what it was like to work closely with Herb on youth and educational projects for more than 30 years. She also reflects on parts of her father’s writings, sharing personal thoughts, family stories, and conversations about how his journey profoundly influenced her life.

Jewish Wit and Wisdom

By: Herb Galewitz

It's no disgrace to be poor," observed Sholom Aleichem, "but it's no great honor, either." "Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city," remarked George Burns, while Marc Chagall noted that "Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers and never succeeding." These and many more classic examples of Jewish wit and wisdom sometimes hilarious, frequently profound, almost always incisive enliven the pages of this entertaining and practical little volume. Some 500 aphorisms include observations and remarks from statesmen, writers, artist, philosophers, jurists, musicians, and celebrities from the prophets of the Old Testament, the Talmud, and Maimonides to Joey Adams, Barbra Streisand, and Woody Allen. Here also are memorable quotes from Louis Brandeis, Martin Buber, Fanny Brice, Heinrich Heine, Sam Goldwyn, Golda Meir, Karl Marx, Groucho Marx, Herman Mankiewicz, Albert Einstein, and many others. Arranged alphabetically by author, these thought-provoking pronouncements will not only serve as a handy resource for speech writers and public speakers but will also amuse and inspire all readers.

The Adjunct Underclass

How America’s Colleges Betrayed Their Faculty, Their Students, and Their Mission

By: Herb Childress

Class ends. Students pack up and head back to their dorms. The professor, meanwhile, goes to her car . . . to catch a little sleep, and then eat a cheeseburger in her lap before driving across the city to a different university to teach another, wholly different class. All for a paycheck that, once prep and grading are factored in, barely reaches minimum wage. Welcome to the life of the mind in the gig economy. Over the past few decades, the job of college professor has been utterly transformed—for the worse. America’s colleges and universities were designed to serve students and create knowledge through the teaching, research, and stability that come with the longevity of tenured faculty, but higher education today is dominated by adjuncts. In 1975, only thirty percent of faculty held temporary or part-time positions. By 2011, as universities faced both a decrease in public support and ballooning administrative costs, that number topped fifty percent. Now, some surveys suggest that as many as seventy percent of American professors are working course-to-course, with few benefits, little to no security, and extremely low pay. In The Adjunct Underclass, Herb Childress draws on his own firsthand experience and that of other adjuncts to tell the story of how higher education reached this sorry state. Pinpointing numerous forces within and beyond higher ed that have driven this shift, he shows us the damage wrought by contingency, not only on the adjunct faculty themselves, but also on students, the permanent faculty and administration, and the nation. How can we say that we value higher education when we treat educators like desperate day laborers? Measured but passionate, rooted in facts but sure to shock, The Adjunct Underclass reveals the conflicting values, strangled resources, and competing goals that have fundamentally changed our idea of what college should be. This book is a call to arms for anyone who believes that strong colleges are vital to society.

Speaking in the Past Tense

Canadian Novelists on Writing Historical Fiction

By: Herb Wyile

“Speaking in the Past Tense participates in an expanding critical dialogue on the writing of historical fiction, providing a series of reflections on the process from the perspective of those souls intrepid enough to step onto what is, practically by definition, contested territory.” — Herb Wyile, from the Introduction The extermination of the Beothuk ... the exploration of the Arctic ... the experiences of soldiers in the trenches during World War I ... the foibles of Canada’s longest-serving prime minister ... the Ojibway sniper who is credited with 378 wartime kills—these are just some of the people and events discussed in these candid and wide-ranging interviews with eleven authors whose novels are based on events in Canadian history. These sometimes startling conversations take the reader behind the scenes of the novels and into the minds of their authors. Through them we explore the writers’ motives for writing, the challenges they faced in gathering information and presenting it in fictional form, the sometimes hostile reaction they faced after publication, and, perhaps most interestingly, the stories that didn’t make it into their novels. Speaking in the Past Tense provides fascinating insights into the construction of national historical narratives and myths, both those familiar to us and those that are still being written.

Speculative Fictions

Contemporary Canadian Novelists and the Writing of History

By: Herb Wyile

Herb Wyile provides a comparative analysis of the historical concerns and textual strategies of twenty novels published since the appearance of Rudy Wiebe's groundbreaking The Temptations of Big Bear in 1973. Drawing on the work of theorists and critics such as Hayden White, Mikhail Bakhtin, Fredric Jameson, Linda Hutcheon, and Michel De Certeau, Speculative Fictions examines the nature of these novels' engagement with Canadian history, historiography, and the writing of historical fiction. In the 1970s and early 1980s, writers such as Wiebe, Joy Kogawa, and Timothy Findley set the stage for a predominantly postcolonial and postmodern interrogation of traditional conceptions of Canadian history, the writing of history and fiction, and the idea of nation. Through his comparative approach, Wyile emphasizes the ways in which this spirit has been sustained in more recent historical novels by Jane Urquhart, Guy Vanderhaeghe, Tom Wharton, Margaret Atwood, and others. He concludes that the writing of history in English-Canadian fiction over the last thirty years makes a substantial contribution to a revisioning of history and to a postcolonial renegotiation of Canada and Canadian society as we enter into a new century.

The PhDictionary

A Glossary of Things You Don't Know (but Should) about Doctoral and Faculty Life

By: Herb Childress

Navigating academia can seem like a voyage through a foreign land: strange cultural rules dictate everyday interactions, new vocabulary awaits at every turn, and the feeling of being an outsider is unshakable. For students considering doctoral programs and doctoral students considering faculty life, The PhDictionary is a lighthearted companion that illuminates the often opaque customs of academic life. With more than two decades as a doctoral student, college teacher, and administrator, Herb Childress has tripped over almost every possible misunderstood term, run up against every arcane practice, and developed strategies to deal with them all. He combines current data and personal stories into memorable definitions of 150 key phrases and concepts graduate students will need to know (or pretend to know) as they navigate their academic careers. From ABD to white paper—and with buyout, FERPA, gray literature, and soft money in between—each entry contains a helpful definition and plenty of relevant advice. Wry and knowledgeable, Childress is the perfect guide for anyone hoping to scale the ivory tower.

The Lure of Faraway Places

Reflections on Wilderness and Solitude

By: Herb Pohl

The Lure of Faraway Places is the publication canoeist Herb Pohl (1930-2006) did not live to see published. But Pohl’s words and images provide a unique portrait of Canada by one who was happiest when travelling our northern waterways alone. Austrian-born Herb Pohl died at the mouth of the Michipcoten River on July 17, 2006. He is remembered as "Canada’s most remarkable solo traveller." While mourning their loss, Herb Pohl’s friends found, to their surprise and delight, a manuscript of wilderness writings on his desk in his lakeside apartment in Burlington, Ontario. He had hoped one day to publish his work as a book. With help and commentary from best-selling canoe author and editor James Raffan, Natural Heritage is proud to present that book, Herb’s book, The Lure of Faraway Places. "There’s nothing like it in canoeing literature," says Raffan. "It’s part journal, part memoir, part wilderness philosophy and part tips and tricks of the most pragmatic kind written about parts of the country most of us will never see by the most committed and ambitious solo canoeist in Canadian history.

Lies, Half-Truths, and More Lies

The Truth Behind 250 "Facts" You Learned in School (and Elsewhere)

By: Herb W. Reich

History is replete with stories of great people and extraordinary events that either never happened or didn’t happen the way we were told they did. Such news or embellishment thereof are part of what we consider common knowledge – information taught in schools and passed down to us. And they are wrong. How about these gems: The winter of 1777-78 was the coldest winter in Valley Forge in years, and many Continental soldiers died from the sub-zero weather: LIE Mohandas Gandhi held a lifelong belief in nonviolence, that characterized the struggle for Indian independence: LIE The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the mostr destructive air strikes against Japan during World War II: LIE Lies, Lies, and More Lies is a humorous, witty, and charming collection of anecdotes surrounding history, pop culture, and more. It is a book that will have readers questioning what they’ve learned or been told and, for these 250 facts anyway, the book advises you: Don’t You Believe It!

Soul Sanctuary

Notorious Nonfiction Stories of Romance, Suspense, and Miracles

By: Herb Klingele

Herb graduated from high school, has a class A driver’s license, and is an operating engineer. Herb owns his own business, and he is also an arborist and a high-climber. He is a sergeant (USMC) and has a junior college AA business degree. He holds classes on how to win friends and influence people. Herb’s third wife had left him. She could not see any light at the end of the tunnel for him ever quitting drugs or alcohol. Praying to God, the phone rang at that moment; a call from a friend of Herb’s dad who at forty-three years sobriety never called Herb. Instantly, the mental obsession and the physical compulsion were lifted from Herb. Herb attended three alcoholics’ anonymous meetings daily and also checked into Kaiser Chemical Dependency and Veterans Administration Chemical Dependency. He is now fifteen years clean and sober. Why do bad things happen to good people? God loves us that much. Through spiritual discernment, this book may help others, also Herb’s first book, Soul Journey. With miracles of biblical proportion, Lacey intrigues Herb, an account every woman should read.

Making Us Crazy

By: Herb Kutchins,Stuart Kirk

A persuasive and passionate plea from two mental health professionals to ease use of the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders under their belief that it is leading to an over-diagnosed society. For many health professionals, the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is an indispensable resource. As the standard reference book for psychiatrists and psychotherapist everywhere, the DSM has had an inestimable influence on the way medical professionals diagnosis mental disorders in their patients. But with a push to label clients with pathological disorders in order to get reimbursed by insurance companies, the purpose of the DSM is no longer serving as a reference book. Instead, it is acting as a list of things that can qualify a patient’s diagnosis. In Making Us Crazy, Stuart Kirk and Herb Kutchins evaluate how the DSM has become the influence behind diagnoses that assassinate character and slander the opposition, often for political or monetary gain. By examining how the reference book serves as a source to label every phobia and quirk that arises in a patient, Kirk and Kutchins question the overuse of the DSM by today’s mental health professionals.

Charlie’s House

By: Herb Moore

When it comes to making Marines, no one does it better than the basic training drill instructors at Parris Island, South Carolina and San Diego, California. But when it came down to making men, Vietnam ranked at the top of the list. An 18 year old teenager who found himself in combat, became a man before he could buy a squirrel rifle or a beer back home. Here is the story of some of those young men, Dawson and Rooker, as well as Swan, Taggart, Sweet Georgia, Gunny Huggins, Rabi and Putt-Putt, who met the world as Marines and became men as they faced horrendous ambushes, unbearable heat, furious mosquitoes and fierce combat. The all but fanatical North Vietnamese soldiers and the Viet Cong saw all Americans, especially the Marines, as an enemy who should be killed at every opportunity. Firefights blew up in unexpected places at any moment during the undeclared war. As the young Marines grew quickly into manhood they began to wonder if their best Marine Corps training would be good enough for them to survive? Even in all the madness of war, there were times of light humor among friends and comrades but always there was the threat that any minute a deathblow could erupt with no warning. Doubts and dreams were shared among the young Marines. Fear became a constant partner and stress was always a faithful companion. They learned to live with a deep in the stomach churning as they fully recognized that each minute could be their last. When a Marine Recon faced the feared enemy, Dawson and Rooker found themselves in the midst of trying to formulate and carry out a dangerous plan. What really happened may surprise you....it did them.

The Faith of a Religionist

Reflections Mundane and Sublime

By: Herb Gruning

Mixing fiction with non-fiction, the author takes the reader on a ride through what irks him enough to write about, first in religion/theology and then in science, and includes the ideas that Abraham is a model for relating to God; an anti-dualistic bias is superior to the belief in the survival of the soul; the insistence that scripture is to be defended at all costs; the notion that theology can be systematized; the doctrine of the (paradoxical) atonement is simply a matter of faith; humans have no bearing on climate; evolution can only occur gradually; purity of race is an attainable goal; there is no serious competitor to materialism; mediums and spiritists are reliable guides to what the afterlife holds; and artificial intelligence poses little threat. The short stories are provided to offer lighter fare to the weightier topics in the non-fiction sections. The second such story has also been adapted into a film posted on YouTube.

One moment of self-negativity, the dark, resentment, regret, envy, jealousy, selfishness, anger, depression and worry, a time of not caring for another. Taking without giving, is a moment of happiness, which will never come back. To play with Lucifer the devil, who does not change, inevitably the evil will change you. God does not consider your life; God considers how you treat others. I realize this may be difficult, your curiosity to continue with me through my life will bring a love that has only been a dream.

Gone with the Wind

The Three-day Premiere in Atlanta

By: Herb Bridges

This photographic essay contains photographs of the stars, of Atlanta before, during, and after the event, and of the citizens of the city who turned out not just for the movie but for receptions, the Premiere Ball, and other events. From movie stars to horse-drawn carriages, from a transformed theater to Gone With the Wind merchandise, this is the book that takes you back to an event often neglected in the Gone with the Wind story."--BOOK JACKET.
