Rich in cultural and linguistic information, the traditional stories of the Coast Salish people contain the keys to cultural revitalization. Tellings from Our Elders presents eighteen stories in Snohomish, a dialect of Lushootseed, the language of the indigenous peoples who live on the southern and eastern shores of Puget Sound, as told by members of the last generation to claim the language as their mother tongue. Many of these stories - or syeyehub - were recorded decades ago, but few were transcribed, and even fewer analyzed. Deep understanding of the structure and logic of these texts has eluded linguists and younger generations. In this landmark study, David Beck and Thom Hess examine the structure of the language, the richness of the grammar, and the narrative stylistics of these important texts. With English translations, full morpheme-by-morpheme glosses, and a glossary of specialized terminology, this book is certain to be both an invaluable resource for scholars and a tool for those who want to ensure that Lushootseed is used by generations to come.

Oral stories form a portal through which rich cultural and linguistic information is passed from generation to generation. The two volumes of Tellings from Our Elders present twenty-seven stories in the Skagit Valley dialects of Lushootseed, the language of the indigenous people of the southern and eastern shores of Puget Sound. These stories - or syeyehub - are told by the last generation to learn the language as its mother tongue, and in many cases were recorded decades ago. Now, they have been transcribed and analyzed by David Beck and Thom Hess, and are published with line-by-line interlinear glosses, to offer a deeper understanding of the structure and logic of the Lushootseed language. This collection opens a doorway to cultural knowledge, specialized vocabulary, and patterns of narrative stylistics typical of Coast Salish storytelling, and will help ensure that the language will live on for future generations.

However hip you think you are as a parent, your kids are growing up in a sexual environment and culture far removed from the one you may have experienced at when you were their age. Like it or not, the information age affects every part of life, and that especially includes teen sexuality. With unprecedented access to information, sexual and otherwise, and the light-speed personal networking of the web and their smart phones, our kids are growing up faster than during any period in history. To address the teen sexuality aspect of this cultural revolution, Dave Beck and Fran Spokane present a safe, caring and meaningful discussion of sexual education that uses actual questions from middle schoolers. This self-help guide is the perfect companion for students, parents, educators, and administrators alike. Fostering a frank, open discussion with sensitivity and humor, it presents an impassioned plea to defeat self-deception and arm our children with real, in-depth, fact/science-based answers -- an approach that has proven to delay sexual activity, while reducing the incidence of STD's, teen pregnancy and yes, even enhance abstinence. "They Asked You What?!" can make "the sex talk" rewarding, humorous and life changing.
