South Beach and Miami Beach, Florida, have dozens of whimsical, colorful, and sometimes wacky lifeguard stands that have become media stars in their own right, including the "Lighthouse Guardhouse," the "Surfboard," and the "Putting Green Guardhouse." In 64 brilliant color photos, these amazing stands and the dazzling scenery surrounding them are beautifully portrayed. Manned by a cadre of professional lifeguards, these stations have become a famous backdrop for the fun-filled life on the sands and in the seas, as swimmers, boaters, para-sailors, and sun-seekers flock to the beaches with their cameras and their sunscreen. \nEngaging text provides the history of these colorful and fanciful lifeguard stands, and designed in 1992 after Hurricane Andrew, and again after the storms of 2005. The lifeguard stands currently on the beach and those lost in years past are all presented and preserved in this wonderful book.

Historians tell us that history is gathered from documents, artifacts and memory. Of these three elements, memory is the one that serves best when the subject is childhood. When I Was Just Your Age gathers the memories of thirteen oldtimers of various racial backgrounds and occupations, to chronicle what it was like to grow up in a profoundly different era. This reconstruction of the childhood lives of the famous and the not-so-famous reveals not only everyday life but also the beliefs of the time, the responses to the land, the sense of community, and the impact of these things over a lifetime. These stories speak eloquently for a value structure that has all but vanished throughout this country. They reflect both the landscape and the "mindscape" prevalent during the early part of this century. For children, these remembrances will build bridges to understanding and set models of service and commitment. For adults, they will be of interest and guidance to reassess contemporary values. Includes a how-to guide for collecting oral history and an activity section for use in the classroom.

This is the story of a unique collaboration between educators, artists, and a community service organization whose joint mission was to bring about personal awareness and public conversation on the topic of bullying, teen suicides, and violence in public schools. At its most relevant, a piece of theatre creates a conversation between an issue, a community of performers, and a community of citizens. At its most meaningful, a piece of theatre offers new perspectives on how diverse individuals process information and apply personal experiences to a life. At its most transformational, a piece of theatre offers an opportunity for collaboration between different people with different voices and opinions, and in the end, such a theatre piece can create a new “playing field” for tolerance, appreciation, inspiration, and possibilities. Such is the intention of the groundbreaking event called BODY LANGUAGE. This book includes a DVD of the Body Language 2011 performance, the monologues produced by the participants, and a guide with activities to help you facilitate a program with the young people in your communities.
