Tatum from @hi.this.is.tatum, one of the TikTok and Instagram's most beloved "talking" dogs, stars in this heartfelt and humorous story about a charismatic canine's journey home. The millions of fans who love Tatum's distinctive quirks and hilarious voice are in for a treat with this uplifting adventure from The Dog Agency, as are fans of feel-good fiction by Victoria Schade, Annie England Noblin, and Bruce Cameron. AN EXCERPT FROM TATUM'S DIARY: "Here's a few fings I learned on my vacation . . . beef jerkey is delightfoo, hikin is just walkin but for a long time, and if you get into someone's truck they don't know where you live also you have to tell them you're in the truck. Also I fink maybe I wasn't on vacation?" *** The late May air is filled with the rich scents of a Maine spring, and Tatum, a sweet, rust-colored rescue dog, is enjoying a trip to the hardware store with his dad when a heavy thunderstorm blows in. Frightened, Tatum scampers off to hide--and buries himself beneath a blanket on a nearby truck. When Tatum wakes, hungry and confused, he's hours from home. The truck's kind owner promises to get him back to his family, but that'll be no easy feat. Tatum lost his collar during his travels, and with power out because of the storm, the local vet can't scan for a chip. But Tatum, with his deep golden eyes and trusting gaze, has a knack for making friends--and for letting humans know exactly what's on his mind. While his mum and dad do everything they can to track him down, the people Tatum meets on his journey are just as eager to do their part to get him home. And in turn, Tatum has a way of nudging everyone he encounters to overcome hurdles, seek out second chances, and find--or make--the families they need.

Muted Voices

The Recovery of Democracy in the Shaping of Technology

By: Jesse S. Tatum

Two ethnographic studies are presented, one of a loosely termed antinuclear group, the second of the "home power" movement, with its embrace of photovoltaic (solar cell), small wind, and micro-hydroelectric power systems in individual homes. Listening differently, these studies offer both insight into other ways of being in the world, and new guidance toward a recovery of democracy in the shaping of technology for the future."--BOOK JACKET.

Ben Taylor has been a workaholic in his efforts to climb the proverbial corporate ladder within his company. His drive to succeed consumed him, leaving little time for his wife and three children.

On Green Diamonds

Pursuing a Dream

By: Tom Tatum

Life is about experiencing the thrill of victories and the agony of defeats, which is something Gabe "Fireball" Nelson understood well. A professional baseball pitcher/ coach in Atlanta for twenty-three years, he grew weary of being in the spotlight and facing constant media attention. Gabe retired from baseball and sought a life of anonymity. He wanted to live in an area where he wouldn't be easily recognized, and the little town of Jackson, South Carolina appeared to be the perfect choice. While Gabe and his wife were adjusting to their new life, Tyler Watkins was facing hurdles of his own. At age six, Tyler's father passed away, and he withdrew into a shell. Two years later, things hadn't improved, and his mother was concerned about his emotional development. She decided to move to Jackson and hoped the change would help end Tyler's grieving. After meeting Tyler, Gabe felt he possessed something that might help his young friend a passion for baseball. While mentoring Tyler in baseball and life, Gabe realized he had been missing something he loved dearly interacting with the fans. What follows is a heartwarming story about a growing relationship, as Gabe's passion becomes Tyler's, and a dream of playing on green diamonds is born. This enlightening sports story is appropriate for all ages and genders.

Can We Talk about Race?

And Other Conversations in an Era of School Resegregation

By: Beverly Tatum

Major new reflections on race and schools—by the best-selling author of “Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?“ A Simmons College/Beacon Press Race, Education, and Democracy Series Book Beverly Daniel Tatum emerged on the national scene in 1997 with “Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?,“ a book that spoke to a wide audience about the psychological dynamics of race relations in America. Tatum’s unique ability to get people talking about race captured the attention of many, from Oprah Winfrey to President Clinton, who invited her to join him in his nationally televised dialogues on race. In her first book since that pathbreaking success, Tatum starts with a warning call about the increasing but underreported resegregation of America. A selfdescribed “integration baby“—she was born in 1954—Tatum sees our growing isolation from each other as deeply problematic, and she believes that schools can be key institutions for forging connections across the racial divide. In this ambitious, accessible book, Tatum examines some of the most resonant issues in American education and race relations: • The need of African American students to see themselves reflected in curricula and institutions • How unexamined racial attitudes can negatively affect minority-student achievement • The possibilities—and complications—of intimate crossracial friendships Tatum approaches all these topics with the blend of analysis and storytelling that make her one of our most persuasive and engaging commentators on race. Can We Talk About Race? launches a collaborative lecture and book series between Beacon Press and Simmons College, which aims to reinvigorate a crucial national public conversation on race, education and democracy.

Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?

Revised Edition

By: Beverly Tatum

The classic, bestselling book on the psychology of racism-now fully revised and updated Walk into any racially mixed high school and you will see Black, White, and Latino youth clustered in their own groups. Is this self-segregation a problem to address or a coping strategy? Beverly Daniel Tatum, a renowned authority on the psychology of racism, argues that straight talk about our racial identities is essential if we are serious about enabling communication across racial and ethnic divides. These topics have only become more urgent as the national conversation about race is increasingly acrimonious. This fully revised edition is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of race in America. "An unusually sensitive work about the racial barriers that still divide us in so many areas of life."--Jonathan Kozol

Liberalism and Transformation

The Global Politics of Violence and Intervention

By: Dillon S. Tatum

Liberalism and Transformation is the first scholarly work that explores the historical, philosophical, and intellectual development of global liberalism since the nineteenth century in the context of the deployment of violence, force, and intervention. Using an approach that includes interpretive and contextual analysis of texts from writers, philosophers, and policy-makers across nearly two centuries, as well as historiographical and historical analysis of archival documents (some of which have been recently declassified) and other media, Liberalism and Transformation narrates the messy history of emancipatory liberalism and its engagement with issues of war and peace. The book contributes to both a rethinking of liberal democracy and its relationship to world politics, as well as the effects of liberal internationalism on global processes. Furthermore, Liberalism and Transformation invites readers to reflect on global ethics and transformation in world politics. In the first place, it shows how ethical imaginings of the world have direct effects on actions of transformative importance. In the second place, it suggests that discourses are fluid, changing, and complex.

Morta Las Vegas

CSI and the Problem of the West

By: Nathaniel Lewis,Stephen Tatum

Through all its transformations and reinventions over the past century, “Sin City” has consistently been regarded by artists and cultural critics as expressing in purest form, for better or worse, an aesthetic and social order spawned by neon signs and institutionalized indulgence. In other words, Las Vegas provides a codex with which to confront the problems of the West and to track the people, materials, ideas, and virtual images that constitute postregional space. Morta Las Vegas considers Las Vegas and the problem of regional identity in the American West through a case study of a single episode of the television crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Delving deep into the interwoven events of the episode titled “4 × 4,” but resisting a linear, logical case-study approach, the authors draw connections between the city—a layered and complex world—and the violent, uncanny mysteries of a crime scene. Morta Las Vegas reveals nuanced issues characterizing the emergence of a postregional West, moving back and forth between a geographical and a procedural site and into a place both in between and beyond Western identity.

Teaching Reading to Black Adolescent Males

Closing the Achievement Gap

By: Alfred W. Tatum

The racial achievement gap in literacy is one of the most difficult issues in education today, and nowhere does it manifest itself more perniciously than in the case of black adolescent males. Approaching the problem from the inside, author Alfred Tatum brings together his various experiences as a black male student, middle school teacher working with struggling black male readers, reading specialist in an urban elementary school, and staff developer in classrooms across the nation. His book, Teaching Reading to Black Adolescent Males: Closing the Achievement Gap' addresses the adolescent shift black males face and the societal experiences unique to them that can hinder academic progress. With an authentic and honest voice, Tatum bridges the connections among theory, instruction, and professional development to create a roadmap for better literacy achievement. He presents practical suggestions for providing reading strategy instruction and assessment that is explicit, meaningful, and culturally responsive, as well as guidelines for selecting and discussing nonfiction and fiction texts with black males. The author' s first-hand insights provide middle school and high school teachers, reading specialists, and administrators with new perspectives to help schools move collectively toward the essential goal of literacy achievement for all.

Chicano and Chicana Literature

Chicano and Chicana Literature

Otra voz del pueblo

By: Charles M. Tatum

The literary culture of the Spanish-speaking Southwest has its origins in a harsh frontier environment marked by episodes of intense cultural conflict, and much of the literature seeks to capture the epic experiences of conquest and settlement. The Chicano literary canon has evolved rapidly over four centuries to become one of the most dynamic, growing, and vital parts of what we know as contemporary U.S. literature. In this comprehensive examination of Chicano and Chicana literature, Charles M. Tatum brings a new and refreshing perspective to the ethnic identity of Mexican Americans. From the earliest sixteenth-century chronicles of the Spanish Period, to the poetry and narrative fiction of the second half of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century, and then to the flowering of all literary genres in the post–Chicano Movement years, Chicano/a literature amply reflects the hopes and aspirations as well as the frustrations and disillusionments of an often marginalized population. Exploring the work of Rudolfo Anaya, Sandra Cisneros, Luis Alberto Urrea, and many more, Tatum examines the important social, historical, and cultural contexts in which the writing evolved, paying special attention to the Chicano Movement and the flourishing of literary texts during the 1960s and early 1970s. Chapters provide an overview of the most important theoretical and critical approaches employed by scholars over the past forty years and survey the major trends and themes in contemporary autobiography, memoir, fiction, and poetry. The most complete and up-to-date introduction to Chicana/o literature available, this book will be an ideal reference for scholars of Hispanic and American literature. Discussion questions and suggested reading included at the end of each chapter are especially suited for classroom use.

A Noble Ruin

Mark Antony, Civil War, and the Collapse of the Roman Republic

By: W. Jeffrey Tatum

A complex and captivating portrait of Mark Antony that offers a fresh perspective on the fall of the Roman Republic In his lifetime, Mark Antony was a famous man. Ally and avenger of Julius Caesar, rhetorical target of Cicero, lover of Cleopatra, and mortal enemy of Octavian (the future emperor Augustus), Antony played a leading role in the transformation of the Roman world. Ever since his and Cleopatra's demise at the hands of Octavian, he has remained famous, or infamous, a figure of recurring fascination. His life--variegated, passionate, sensual, bold, and tragic--inspires vigorous reactions. Nearly everyone has a view on Antony. For Cicero, he was a distasteful though talented man. Octavian fashioned him a dangerous failure, a Roman noble corrupted by his appetites and his lust for Cleopatra. Later historians adopted and adapted these themes, delivering their readers an Antony who was irresistibly depraved, startlingly brave, sometimes cunning, but almost always constitutionally incapable of choosing the right side of history. From these, especially Plutarch's compelling portrait, Shakespeare gave us the chivalrous and unstudied Antony of Antony and Cleopatra. A Noble Ruin, the fullest biography of Antony in English, assimilates the various, often competing, ancient sources to provide a strong and much-needed dose of realism to the caricature we have of this major historical figure. The book gives ample attention to the varied cultural circumstances in which Antony operated, including the social and moral expectations of his republican heritage, as well as the exceptional challenges posed by the convulsion of civil war. In furnishing a complex and captivating portrait of Anthony, A Noble Ruin allows readers to freshly assess his conduct, ambitions, and attainments, as well as the turbulent age in which he lived.

Raising Contributors in a Culture of Consumerism and Skepticism

By: Dr. Brandon Tatum

What do we want for the next generation? What does our future hold? What can we do as adults to foster a positive future for our kids? Most parents, grandparents, teachers, and ministers I talk to want to equip the next generation with the necessary tools to be difference makers in their world, but they don't know how to. It feels as if we are fighting against a cultural wave that is making it harder and harder to lead our kids to love God and make a difference. So what do we do? This book takes a deep look into the culture of Generation Z and Generation Alpha. The intent is to create an understanding of how to raise a generation of contributors to the kingdom and how to remove the barriers that stand in our way. We all know that these emerging generations are welcoming us into a new digital frontier full of consumption, technology, and entertainment that is more focused on happiness than contribution. Our kids are also living in a world of skepticism about truth and faith. We will unpack these faith questions and explore the tensions that exist between older and younger generations. Our kids are the future of our churches, cities, states, and country. It is critical that we begin to acknowledge that as adults, we must be intentional in understanding the culture our kids live in and be humble in our approaches to developing them as faithful servants and successful adults. So how do we raise contributors? Let's begin to discuss practical ways to raise kids who are image bearers and difference makers. I call these kids contributors.

God's Generation

His New Warriors in the Oldest War

By: Dwight Tatum

God and Satan, good and evil, the first and last war. A war not taking place in heaven but here on earth. A war in the invisible spiritual world that goes on as we live from day to day. People generally want and desire to be good but often find it hard to be because Satan has created so many avenues into our world and lives. Being invisible, deceitful, and very crafty, we're defenseless and no match for him, so God protects us when we ask for his help. A lot of us help our enemy in defeating us by lacking faith in God and believing Satan's lies and deceit. Some people don't believe in God or Satan, but both exist and affect our lives. Not believing and allowing Satan into our lives defeat us because he uses us for his purposes. God blessed me, after living a terrible life, to see and experience how Satan deceives us. God has blessed me to share my story with you in order to expose Satan and allow you to see him at work in your lives and let you know that you need God to defeat him. If you can't recognize him, you don't know you're being deceived; but God will reveal him to you because Satan can't deceive God.

Energy Possibilities

Rethinking Alternatives and the Choice-Making Process

By: Jesse S. Tatum

Using the perspectives of science, technology, and society studies, this book grapples with questions stimulated by a concern that current energy policies and practices reflect neither the best interests of ordinary people nor decision-making consistent with the traditions and aspirations of democracy. Probing the depths of assumptions made in traditional analysis and assembling minority views, present practices come into focus as startlingly narrow social constructs amidst a vast unexplored terrain of material and socio-cultural possibilities. Questions of power and responsible action are pursued in this context, casting both traditional decision makers and citizens in less than a positive light. The author includes an examination of the experience of the "home power" movement not as "The Solution" to our energy problems, but as a concrete illustration of alternative theory and practice, and of the range of possibilities inherent in energy decisions. The book aims not at recommendations for prescriptive public policy, but primarily at refocusing the reader's attentions, as ultimate policy maker, on the core of the energy question: How do we wish to live in the world?

Ward, Milledge and West’s High Altitude Medicine and Physiology

By: Andrew M Luks,Philip N Ainslie,Justin S Lawley,Robert C Roach,Tatum S Simonson

This pre-eminent work has developed over six editions in response to man's attempts to climb higher and higher unaided, and to spend more time at altitude for both work and recreation. Building on this established reputation, the new and highly experienced authors provide a fully revised and updated text that will help doctors continue to improve the health and safety of all people who visit, live or work in the cold, thin air of high mountains. The sixth edition remains invaluable for any doctor accompanying an expedition or advising patients on a visit to altitude, those specialising in illness and accidents in high places, and for physicians and physiologists who study our dependence on oxygen and the adaptation of the body to altitude.

African American Writers & Classical Tradition

By: William W. Cook,James Tatum

Constraints on freedom, education, and individual dignity have always been fundamental in determining who is able to write, when, and where. Considering the singular experience of the African American writer, William W. Cook and James Tatum here argue that African American literature did not develop apart from canonical Western literary traditions but instead grew out of those literatures, even as it adapted and transformed the cultural traditions and religions of Africa and the African diaspora along the way.Tracing the interaction between African American writers and the literatures of ancient Greece and Rome, from the time of slavery and its aftermath to the civil rights era and on into the present, the authors offer a sustained and lively discussion of the life and work of Phillis Wheatley, Frederick Douglass, Ralph Ellison, and Rita Dove, among other highly acclaimed poets, novelists, and scholars. Assembling this brilliant and diverse group of African American writers at a moment when our understanding of classical literature is ripe for change, the authors paint an unforgettable portrait of our own reception of “classic” writing, especially as it was inflected by American racial politics.
