Walking through Darkness

A Nature-Based Path to Navigating Suffering and Loss

By: Sandra Ingerman,Llyn Roberts

May the teachings in this book help you walk wakefully as you find your way back home. Every one of us experiences periods of pain and loss in our life—dark nights of the soul. This is a groundless territory where one feels directionless and devoid of tools, with no sense of how to take the next step. In ancient times, elders guided their communities through life’s initiations and challenges, paths we must all take to transform and grow. In Walking through Darkness, legendary shamanic experts Sandra Ingerman and Llyn Roberts help us forge a pathway through the dark—as we embrace nature as our guide and healer. Sandra and Llyn share metaphorical stories that engage animals, plants, trees, and other aspects of nature. Through the feminine process of circular joint storytelling, they weave the rich tales of their own experiences alongside wisdom that they have gathered for years from their own studies, as well as from healers around the globe. Through teachings from the land, the sky, the sea, and the spiritual world, this sensitive and empowering guide opens us to our spiritual light so that we can face our greatest challenges with courage and love—no matter what they are.

Acts of Attention

The Poems of D.H. Lawrence

By: Sandra M. Gilbert

In the Preface to this second edition of her first book, Sandra M. Gilbert addresses the inevitable question: "How can you be a feminist and a Lawrentian?" The answer is intellectually satisfying and historically revealing as she traces an array of early twentieth-century women of letters, some of them proto-feminists, who revered Lawrence despite his countless statements that would today be condemned as "sexist." H.D. regarded him as one of her "initiators" whose words "flamed alive, blue serpents on the page." Anais Nin insisted that he "had a complete realization of the feelings of women." By focusing on Lawrence’s own definition of a poem as an "act of attention," Gilbert demonstrates how he developed the mature style of Birds, Beasts and Flowers, his finest collection of poetry. She discusses this volume at length, examines many of his later poems in detail, including the hymns from The Plumed Serpent, Pansies, Nettles, and More Pansies, and ends with a close look at Last Poems. Her detailed examination provides a clearer image of Lawrence as an artist—an artist whose poetry complements his novels and whose fiction enriches but does not outshine his poetry.

When Morning Stars Sing

By: Sandra Edwards Wheeler

Finding life to be daunting, a young boy finds escape, wandering along through ancient paths, beaten down by time. Deep inside the shadows of a hallowed wood, while trying to find himself, he falls in search of a God he hopes someday to understand. Having yet but one earthly dream, to play his fiddle and sing, he finds himself in the shackles of trying to live out another man's dream--yet to be inherited. His father's longtime dream of trying to hold on to a little piece of farming land--Riverland by name, proper deeds of title at the last found to be in jeopardy. Scrambling his way through life, Henry Evans, hoping to keep his own dream alive, inherits to his son the dreams of his own future to be lived out in proxy. Accepting by obligation, the responsibility of securing a proper title to the family farm, Henry's last remaining son, Roe, finds himself living out the shattered dreams of his father. Miss Mamie and Charcoal, people of another color trying desperately to guide him through the deep shadows of life, find a place in the heart of the whole family, believing the color of one's face to be only skin deep, love and loyalty being the only things in life that really matter. Until finally, the stars of morning come to sing!

Widow's Might

A Liv Bergen Mystery

By: Sandra Brannan

The third Liv Bergen mystery picks up right where the second one left off: the murder of Liv’s sister-in-law has been solved, but an older rancher has been bludgeoned to death in a style eerily reminiscent of a long-inactive killer known only as the Crooked Man. FBI agent Streeter Pierce, still on assignment in Sturgis, South Dakota, must now turn his sights on tracking down the killer, who happens to be his nemesis from ten years earlier. Pierce doesn’t complain, though; he’s falling in love with Liv Bergen and sets in motion an unconventional way to recruit her for the FBI’s training camp in Quantico, Virginia, as they work the case together. But is Liv falling for the brilliant, exotic-looking agent Jack Linwood instead? Once again, Liv’s vast knowledge of the Black Hills of South Dakota—the territory General Custer made famous—and the modern day ranchers and environmentalists who live there leads her to unearth critical clues about the Crooked Man. Aided by her elfin sister with rainbow-colored hair, a sad-eyed bloodhound, and a terminally ill Norwegian widow, Liv ultimately identifies the deranged killer. But will her barrage of questions be enough to fend off a fatal blow from the very cane he used to crush the skulls of thirteen other victims?

American Fiction, American Myth

Essays by Philip Young

By: Philip Young,David Morrell,Sandra Spanier

Few experts in American literature have written as insightfully and brilliantly as did Philip Young, renowned Hemingway critic and scholar at large. His unique work bursts with a joy in the humanities, with a sensibility, a humor, and a style that communicate to academics and general readers alike. Although Young died in 1991, he survives in his remarkable prose. American Fiction, American Myth features nineteen groundbreaking essays in which Young masterfully reveals the &"so what?&" that he insisted all literary studies ought to have. In the first section, he demonstrates his fascination with such American myths as Pocahontas and Rip Van Winkle, reaching powerful conclusions about America and its people. In the second section, he becomes &"Our Hemingway Man,&" explaining his germinal and still provocative theory that Hemingway's severe wounding in World War I so traumatized the novelist that his fiction was to a great degree unwitting self-psychoanalysis. Young's book on Hemingway was the first of its kind, but Young was more than a one-author critic, as his essays demonstrate in the third section, exploring such diverse topics as Hawthorne's secret love, the Lost Generation that was never lost, F. Scott Fitzgerald&’s debt to T. S. Eliot, and the relationship between American fiction and American life. What Hemingway once said about himself can be equally applied to Young: &"I am a very serious but not a solemn writer.&" The reader comes away from these essays dazzled by the power of Young's observations and the grace with which he expresses them.

Crossover Fiction

Global and Historical Perspectives

By: Sandra L. Beckett

In Crossover Fiction, Sandra L. Beckett explores the global trend of crossover literature and explains how it is transforming literary canons, concepts of readership, the status of authors, the publishing industry, and bookselling practices. This study will have significant relevance across disciplines, as scholars in literary studies, media and cultural studies, visual arts, education, psychology, and sociology examine the increasingly blurred borderlines between adults and young people in contemporary society, notably with regard to their consumption of popular culture.

The Everything Bagel with a Side of Milk and Honey

By: Sandra Henley

Are you concerned or curious about current world events? If so, between the covers of The Everything Bagel, readers will relish greater insight into mysteries concealed but revealed unto to those who seek God’s knowledge and wisdom. The author provides a panoramic view from eternity past, where God spoke in a heavenly language bringing forth the invisible particulates of creation into existence and capsulizing over six thousand years of history into the twenty-first century. No need to buy numerous books dealing with one subject when readers will enjoy a treasure of nuggets in The Everything Bagel. This book provides a summary of biblical history marrying the scriptures together with world events, allowing for an overview of all things Yahweh. Satan’s diabolical plan is exposed from its inception and his obsession with destroying God’s future kingdom upon the earth. It is important to highlight the journey of the Hebrew Israelites and the fulfillment of Messiah coming through the tribe of Judah. Traversing through Bible prophecies, readers will better comprehend the machinations of the one-world order cabal operating through secret societies, false religions, wealthy overlords, and corrupt nations. The book of Revelation is pivotal in these last days spotlighting the time frame for the war of Gog and Magog, the building of the third temple in Israel, and paving the way for Antichrist and the false prophet. The world is standing at the precipice of the seven-year tribulation period. The redeemed of God will embrace their Sabbath rest in a land of milk and honey. It is our greatest desire that the contents of this book will open the eyes of the sleeping masses and be a beacon of hope in these perilous times.

Passionate Embrace

Flesh, Flesh, Tango

By: Sandra Vander Schaaf

Passionate Embrace: Faith, Flesh, Tango " is a story of desire, intimacy, and transformation, set in the sumptuous world of Argentine Tango. Sandra Vander Schaaf shares the provocative tale of an unexpected love affair with the world's most sensual dance, and an equally unexpected experience of spiritual renewal on the dance floor. This is a vivid, eloquent, honest glimpse of Christian faith and doubt and the exquisite relationship between body and soul. "Captivating, credible, totally without cliches." - Eugene Peterson, author of "The Message and Telling It Slant" "Vander Schaaf daringly compares learning to dance tango with learning to pray; each is a movement of faith. That this venture into physical intimacy was the means of grace that led her to greater spiritual intimacy with God is the refreshing surprise of this striking and moving account of renewal." - Luci Shaw, author of "Breath for the Bones" and "Adventure of Ascent" “Refreshingly different . . . A very honest and brave book . . . . . . intoxicating.” – Douglas Todd, Vancouver Sun

Library Patrons' Privacy

Questions and Answers

By: Sandra J. Valenti,Brady D. Lund,Matthew A. Beckstrom

A quick, easy-to-read synthesis of theory, guidelines, and evidence-based research, this book offers timely, practical guidance for library and information professionals who must navigate ethical crises in information privacy and stay on top of emerging privacy trends. Emerging technologies create new concerns about information privacy within library and information organizations, and many information professionals lack guidance on how to navigate the ethical crises that emerge when information privacy and library policy clash. What should we do when a patron leaves something behind? How do we justify filtering internet access while respecting accessibility and privacy? How do we balance new technologies that provide anonymity with the library's need to prevent the illegal use of their facilities? Library Patrons' Privacy presents clear, conversational, evidence-based guidance on how to navigate these ethical questions in information privacy. Ideas from professional organizations, government entities, scholarly publications, and personal experiences are synthesized into an approachable guide for librarians at all stages of their career. This guide, designed by three experienced LIS scholars and professionals, is a quick and enjoyable read that students and professionals of all levels of technical knowledge and skill will find useful and applicable to their libraries.

Thought X

Fictions and Hypotheticals

Featuring leading scientists acting as consultants on the stories, and writing scientific afterwords, bringing the theory featured in the stories to life, including Prof. Sarah Bridle (Jodrell Bank), Prof. Jonathan Wolff and Prof. Frank Jackson (the inventor of the 'Mary's Room' thought experiment). Science is always telling stories. Whether in the creation myths of evolution or the Big Bang, or in the eureka moments of science history, narrative – just as much as metaphor – is a key tool in the scientist’s surprisingly literary toolkit. Perhaps the most interesting use of story is the thought experiment, the intuition pump, that draws on the most instinctive parts of the imagination to crack otherwise perplexing problems. From Newton's Bucket, to Maxwell’s Demon, from Einstein's Lift to Schrödinger’s Cat – all are examples of 'fiction' being used at the highest level, not just to explain, but to deduce, to prove. In this unique anthology, authors have collaborated with leading scientists, to bounce literary, human narratives against purely theoretical ones, alloying together real stories with abstract ones, to produce truly extraordinary results. Full list of thought experiments: The Twin Paradox, The Grandfather Paradox, Maxwell's Demon, Laplace's Demon, Mary's Room, The Chinese Room, Schrödinger's Cat, Galileo's Boat, The Infinite Monkey Typing Pool, Einstein in a LIft, Einstein Chasing a Beam of Light, Newton's Bucket, Olber's Paradox.

Crossover Picturebooks

A Genre for All Ages

By: Sandra L. Beckett

This book situates the picturebook genre within the widespread international phenomenon of crossover literature, examining an international corpus of picturebooks — including artists’ books, wordless picturebooks, and celebrity picturebooks — that appeal to readers of all ages. Focusing on contemporary picturebooks, Sandra Beckett shows that the picturebook has traditionally been seen as a children’s genre, but in the eyes of many authors, illustrators, and publishers, it is a narrative form that can address any and all age groups. Innovative graphics and formats as well as the creative, often complex dialogue between text and image provide multiple levels of meaning and invite readers of all ages to consider texts that are primarily marketed as children’s books. The interplay of text and image that distinguishes the picturebook from other forms of fiction and makes it a unique art form also makes it the ultimate crossover genre. Crossover picturebooks are often very complex texts that are challenging for adults as well as children. Many are characterized by difficult "adult" themes, genre blending, metafictive discourse, intertextuality, sophisticated graphics, and complex text-image interplay. Exciting experiments with new formats and techniques, as well as novel interactions with new media and technologies have made the picturebook one of the most vibrant and innovative contemporary literary genres, one that seems to know no boundaries. Crossover Picturebooks is a valuable addition to the study of a genre that is gaining increasing recognition and appreciation, and contributes significantly to the field of children’s literature as a whole.

Dancing the Tao

Le Guin and Moral Development

By: Sandra J. Lindow

Dancing the Tao: Le Guin and Moral Development takes an original approach to Ursula K. Le Guin’s work – speculative fiction, poetry and children’s literature – by considering her Taoist upbringing and then looking through the lens of moral development theorists such as Carol Gilligan and Mary Field Belenky, and psychologists such as Lenore Terr and Jennifer J. Freyd. It is the most comprehensive approach to Le Guin’s moral thinking to date. A particular emphasis is put on Le Guin’s depiction of physical and sexual child abuse and its long term aftereffects such as post traumatic stress disorder. The focus throughout the book is on how morality develops through self-awareness and voice, how moral decisions are made and how Le Guin challenges readers to reconsider their own moral thinking. This book covers all of Le Guin’s major works such as The Left Hand of Darkness, The Dispossessed, the Earthsea Series, Always Coming Home, The Telling and Lavinia, and it also looks in depth at work that is rarely discussed such as Le Guin’s early work, her poetry, and her picture books.

Representing the Crusades

From Medieval Imagination to Contemporary Popular Culture

By: Sandra Gorgievski

How are the Crusades portrayed in popular culture today? Have the medieval images of chivalric and military heroes survived the eras of Orientalism and decolonization? The first of its kind, this comparative study examines representations of the Crusades in both European and Arab medieval texts and in 20th and 21st century transmedia recreations. It follows the cartography and illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages through modern, hybridized narratives in novels, film, comics and gaming. The shifting literary tastes, political agendas and cultural exchanges of audiences on both sides of the Mediterranean reflect their anxieties and ideals.

The Old Man's Secret

By: Sandra-Kay Austin

Corey has just moved from Toronto to the small village of Bryan's Ford, where things are definitely not the same. To start with, a girl named Miranda is the only one living near him who isn't an adult and she doesn't seem all that happy he's there. Then, there's mean Old Man Marshall, who keeps showing up at the weirdest times to make him angry. And there's his mother's refusal to answer any questions about the man, and the way she just keeps ignoring everything wrong and she keeps repeating, "It's just you and me and God now." Besides that, he keeps running into the scary things that he doesn't know about such as bears. However, when Miranda begins to introduce him to a new world that includes things like pig-wrestling and frog-catching, their friendship begins to grow. But the mystery around Old Man Marshall grows too and when they search for answers in his abandoned mine, the adventure really begins. And when he finds the answers he's seeking, Corey receives the biggest surprise of his lifetime. For more information please visit the official site at: www.sandrakayaustin.com
