Brewtown Tales: More Stories from Milwaukee and Beyond Gurda John

John Gurda's South Side Milwaukee family loved potluck dinners. "From the Jell-O salads at the start of the line through the hot dishes in the middle and on to the pumpkin bars at the end, the food was always hearty, abundant, and certifiably homemade," he writes. Drawing from Gurda's long-running Sunday Milwaukee Journal Sentinel column, Brewtown Tales was prepared in the spirit of those fondly remembered meals. The main dish is Milwaukee history, served in a multitude of ways. You will find in these pages the biography of a bridge, a requiem for a union, tales of two shipwrecks, a frank take on segregation, and memories of the summer of '68, among many other things. There are also side dishes that convey the distinctive flavors of Wisconsin and a few more exotic places, from Vilas County to Vietnam. Brewtown Tales will satisfy your hunger, introduce you to new and

Life Between the Tides Nicolson Adam

Adam Nicolson explores the marine life inhabiting seashore rock pools with a scientist's curiosity and a poet's wonder in this beautifully illustrated book.The sea is not made of water. Creatures are its genes. Look down as you crouch over the shallows and you will find a periwinkle or a prawn, a claw-displaying crab or a cluster of anemones ready to meet you. No need for binoculars or special stalking skills: go to the rocks and the living will say hello.Inside each rock pool tucked into one of the infinite crevices of the tidal coastline lies a rippling, silent, unknowable universe. Below the stillness of the surface course different currents of endless motion--the ebb and flow of the tide, the steady forward propulsion of the passage of time, and the tiny lifetimes of the rock pool's creatures, all of which coalesce

Working with Parents and Families in Early Childhood Education

This book reports initiatives to listen to parents and families, to ascertain what families believe and do as they seek to engage collaboratively with their children's educators, and what educators and educational systems might do to facilitate and/or establish barriers to such engagement.Parental engagement in children's learning and development has many positive benefits. However, in the current environments of accountability and performativity which are pervading early childhood education in many countries, the opportunities for parents and other family members to be part of the development of respectful, collaborative relationships with their children's early childhood educators are becoming more and more restricted. Many educators feel forced to choose between curriculum outcomes and parental engagement, as both involve their time. There is a danger that the voices

The Flaw in the Crystal

At that moment, in a flash that came like a shifting of her eyes, the world she looked at suffered a change... It was the same world, flat field for flat field and hill for hill; but radiant, vibrant, and, as it were, infinitely transparent.Tales of eternal damnation, love, sexuality, death and supernatural talents form the core of May Sinclair's essential and groundbreaking oeuvre. Literary and still thrilling today, her stories explore the strangeness at the heart of human experience and relationships, where the mundane and the everyday meets lurking, otherworldly weirdness.Including the contents of the classic collections Uncanny Stories (1923) and The Intercessor and Other Stories (1931), this new volume also features two rare strange tales from a third, lesser-known book which explore further facets of Sinclair's fascination with the

Chvála odpočinku svazek 10 - Maximilien Le Fébure du Bus

Západní společnost neustále pracuje a za čímsi se žene. A pokud se někdy zastaví, pak jen proto, aby se mohla dát efektivněji znovu do klusu. Francouzský myslitel Blaise Pascal byl přesvědčený, že „příčina veškerého lidského neštěstí tkví v tom, že člověk není schopen odpočívat“. Bohužel nejde o přehnané tvrzení. Musíme vzdát chválu odpočinku. Je to však ošemetná záležitost. Nebudeme pak osočeni, že oslavujeme lenost, že nejdeme s dobou, ale v protisměru? Nebylo by se čemu divit. Popravdě řečeno, copak dnešní člověk ještě dokáže zaslechnout a přijmout Kristovo pozvání, aby si odpočinul? (z úvodu autora) Maximilien Le Fébure du Bus je řeholní kněz, člen komunity augustiniánských kanovníků. Ti od roku 2004 obývají známé opatství Lagrasse (plným názvem Abbaye Sainte-Marie de Lagrasse), jež se nachází poblíž Carcassonu. Slavné románské opatství založili už v 7. století benediktini. Autor se věnuje zejména duchovnímu doprovázení, kniha Chvála odpočinku je jeho prvotinou.
