How Wicked Made It to the Stage

By: Jeri Freedman

The musical Wicked opened on Broadway in October 2003. Based on the best-selling novel Wicked by Gregory Maguire, the show retells the story of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz from the point of view of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, a misfit who, through the events of the play, discovers her inner strength and power. The show has run for nearly six thousand performances as of 2017 and is the second highest grossing Broadway musical of all time, having earned over 1 billion dollars to date. This book describes the path the play took from concept to the stage, its Broadway run, and its influence.

Story Hour

55 Preschool Programs for Public Libraries

By: Jeri Kladder

Story time at the public library is the first exposure to books outside the home for many preschool children. For the librarian, it is an exciting opportunity to instill in youngsters a love of reading and books. But coming up with new ideas that hold the children’s attention can be trying. Until now. Here are 55 tried-and-true story hour programs with a thematic approach. All are highly flexible and adaptable across the full preschool age range. Most of the ideas are arranged under one of eight specific themes that include four to eight one-hour programs: barnyard animals, the Caldecott Medal, colors, families, a storytelling feast, the five senses, reptiles and amphibians, and around the world. There are also 18 individual holiday and seasonal programs. All story hours provide ideas for name tags, suggested audiovisual materials, recommended story, poetry and song selections, additional titles and a full description of the activity.

Kids' Slips

Kids' Slips

What Young Children's Slips of the Tongue Reveal About Language Development

By: Jeri J. Jaeger

The study of speech errors, or "slips of the tongue," is a time-honored methodology which serves as a window to the representation and processing of language and has proven to be the most reliable source of data for building theories of speech production planning. However, until Kids' Slips, there has never been a corpus of such errors from children with which to work. This is the first developmental linguistics research volume to document how online processing is revealed in young children, ages 18 months through 5 years, through their slips of the tongue. Thus, this text provides a new methodology and data source, which will greatly expand our ability to uncover the details of early language development. Professor Jaeger's groundbreaking book incorporates both details of her methodology and findings with implications for different aspects of language development, including phonetics and phonology, the lexicon, semantics, morphology, and syntax. While all the child data is included in the book, a Web site hosted by the author provides readers with the adult data as well. Kids' Slips targets those who study language development in linguistics, developmental psychology, and speech and hearing, as well as those who study language representation and processing more generally in the same disciplines.

Still Starving After All These Years

The Hidden Origins of War, Oppression and Inequality

By: Jeri Studebaker

Do you want an end to war and inequality? Civilizations the world over have produced spectacular innovations; monumental architecture, complex mathematics, magnificent art, and the invention of writing, to name a few. Civilizations have also produced several unsavory "innovations", which to the modern mind seem an inevitable part of living in civilized society. Large-scale architecture was invented to store hoarded food and other goods, produced by the enslaved masses but enjoyed by the powerful elite. Writing was invented to keep track of hoarded commodities. Institutionalized warfare was invented to steal slaves, who could produce more for the monumental storage containers. A striking parallel with today's governments' violent obsessions over endless growth. This prevailing mindset can and must be undone or else we risk the annihilation of humanity.

When Spirits Speak: Stiltbird's Last Supper

A Frequency Interrupted - A New Beginning

By: Jeri K. Tory Conklin

She is a gifted communicator with the Spirit World. Her latest journey into last meals of executed prisoners and food choices for letting go of her past, challenges each of us to think about what our last meal choices might be and why. Thinking she was done, the Spirit World challenged her to pick a food to celebrate a new beginning as she returned to working with the Spirit World after a lengthy illness. Lessons learned, Soul Groups, Energy Centers/Chakras and recipes make this another of her inspirational books. This book challenges one to think about the food choices they would make if it was to be their last day on earth or letting go of a past. Or, perhaps, to celebrate a new beginning. Lessons learned, Soul Groups, Energy Centers/Chakras and recipes make this another of her inspirational books. In Jeri Conklin’s latest book, “When Spirits Speak: Stilt Bird’s Last Supper, her ability to communicate with the Spirit World allows us to experience not only her own story of celebrating her past, making way for her new beginnings, but also that of Johnny as he looks back on his life and was the inspiration for this book. Jeri challenges you to think about what your symbolic “last meal” would be if given the chance to leave your old way of life behind and choose a new beginning. Peggy Wier, Contributing Editor, Sporting Breed Magazine “The Writer” carefully crafts the story of John Adam Buck, his life and death, as told through the Spirit World. The choice of Johnny’s last meal on earth allows the author to weave three stories. That of Johnny Buck, that of Soul Groups and ultimately, the story of her own spiritual path being interrupted, and reborn. This little book is packed with messages. If you are drawn to the idea of your last meal, or drawn to the discovery of your own Spiritual Journey, this book is for you! Bon voyage. You will Enjoy it! Linda Ouellette, Spiritual Trainer for the Canine World

Bring On the Night

By: Jeri Smith-Ready

WHAT’S BLOOD GOT TO DO WITH IT? Recovering con artist Ciara Griffin seems to finally have it all. A steady job at WVMP, the Lifeblood of Rock ’n’ Roll. A loving relationship with the idiosyncratic but eternally hot DJ Shane McAllister. A vampire dog who never needs shots or a pooper-scooper. And after nine years, it looks as if she might actually finish her bachelor’s degree! But fate has other plans for Ciara. First she must fulfill her Faustian bargain with the Control, the paranormal paramilitary agency that does its best to keep vampires in line. Turns out the Control wants her for something other than her (nonexistent) ability to kick undead ass. Her anti-holy blood, perhaps? Ciara’s suspicions are confirmed when she’s assigned to a special-ops division known as the Immanence Corps, run by the Control’s oldest vampire and filled with humans who claim to have special powers. To a confirmed skeptic like Ciara, it sounds like a freak fest. But when a mysterious fatal virus spreads through Sherwood—and corpses begin to rise from their graves—Ciara will not only get a crash course in zombie-killing, but will be forced to put her faith, and her life itself, in the hands of magic.

The Courage of Strangers

Coming of Age With the Human Rights Movement

By: Jeri Laber

After Jeri Laber earned a Master's degree in Russian studies at Columbia University, she became a part-time writer and editor and a full-time wife and mother. Then one day in 1973 she read an article about torture that altered her life and subsequently the lives of countless others around the world. The Courage of Strangers tells how Laber became a founder and the executive director of Helsinki Watch, which grew to be Human Rights Watch, one of the world's most influential organizations. She describes her secret trips to unwelcoming countries, where she met with some of the great political activists of the time. She also recalls what it was like to come of age professionally in an era when women were supposed to follow rather than lead; how she struggled to balance work and family; and how her fight for human rights informed her own intellectual, spiritual and emotional development. This story of the birth of the human rights movement is also a sweeping history of dissent and triumph in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Elegantly written, full of passion, humor and political wisdom, it is exciting history as well as a moving, entertaining, inspiring story of a woman's life.
