Ernest Hemingway has enjoyed a rich legacy as the progenitor of modern fiction, as an outsized character in literary lore who wrote some of the most honest and moving accounts of the twentieth century, set against such grand backdrops as the bullrings of Spain, the savannahs of Africa, and the rivers and lakes of the American Midwest. In this portrait of the Nobel-prize winner, Verna Kale challenges many of the long-standing assumptions Hemingway’s legacy has created. Drawing on numerous sources, she reexamines him, offering a real-life portrait of the historical figure as he really was: a writer, a sportsman, and a celebrity with a long and turbulent career. Kale follows Hemingway around the world and through his many roles—as a young Red Cross volunteer in World War I, as an expatriate poet in 1920s Paris, as a career novelist navigating the burgeoning middlebrow fiction market, and as a seasoned but struggling writer still trying to draft his masterpiece. She takes readers through his four marriages, his joyous big game expeditions in Africa, and his struggles with celebrity and craft, especially his decades-long attempt at a novel that was supposed to blow open the boundaries of American fiction and upset the very conventions he helped to create. It is this final aspect of Hemingway’s life—Kale shows—that wreaked the greatest havoc on him, taking a steep physical and mental toll that was likely exacerbated by a medical condition that science is only beginning to understand. Concise but insightful, this book offers an acute portrait of one of the most important figures of American arts and letters.

Making Memories

Recipes, Cooking Lessons, and Stories from a Home Economics Teacher

By: Verna Craig Shelton

Compiled and written by a veteran teacher of home economics, Making Memories takes you back a step in time to an age when life was just simpler. Culled from the best of author Verna Shelton's many years as a teacher, this collection shares not only tried-and-true recipes but also touches of humor and generous tributes to the past through memories of the classroom, family, and friends. Shelton's professional advice, time-tested techniques, easy-to-understand instructions, and witty banter offer something for every cook, no matter their level of competence-or confidence. In her thirty-two years teaching high school students, she was twice chosen teacher of the year by her colleagues, and she was featured in Who's Who Among America's Teachers. As versatile as all-purpose flour and containing over four hundred recipes, Making Memories provides a practical and very human look inside a remarkable career, proving that we're never too old to learn.

Health Intelligence

The Path to a Healthier You

By: R. Benjamin-Lambert Verna,Dr Verna R Benjamin-Lambert, Dr

#1 Thought Provoking Health Handbook of the Decade "I wish I had this book, Health Intelligence, when I was raising my five children. I found the book easy to read, easy to understand and easy to follow through. Had this book been available back then, Dr. Benji would surely have given Dr. Spock a run for his money. I would recommend this book to every parent in the universe." Fern Michaels, New York Times bestselling author "No child on this Earth is here by accident. Every child has a soul, and every soul has a purpose. If the child's emotional, educational, spiritual, physical and financial needs are met, they will be able to achieve at their highest potential." Dr. Verna R. Benjamin-Lambert In Health Intelligence, Dr. Verna Benjamin-Lambert takes on this modern-day health catastrophe, reveals the primary causes of childhood obesity, and sets the stage for a health revolution that makes resetting health norms for our children paramount. Dr. Benjamin-Lambert uses the term "health intelligence" to describe the new concept that is the key to eradicating childhood obesity through education and enrichment for the parents, educators, social workers, and clinicians who are the front line of defense for the health of our nation's children. Through the simple principles outlined in her book, young people and their families will get the tools they need to improve their health and live longer, happier lives.
