Segregated schooling in Missouri did not come to an end until 1983, when the U.S. District Court decision Liddell v. Board of Education of St. Louis mandated desegregation. In Unending Struggle, Judge Gerald W. Heaney and Dr. Susan Uchitelle recount the history of St. Louis’s struggle for an equal education for African Americans.The Liddell lawsuit resulted in a comprehensive court-ordered plan, one of the most far-reaching strategies stemming from any desegregation case in the country. The plan included a voluntary interdistrict transfer program that placed thousands of urban black students in majority white schools in St. Louis County and called for racially desegregated magnet schools in the city. It required compensatory and remedial measures, including smaller classes, all-day kindergarten, and before- and after-school programs for students remaining in the city’s all-black schools. The plan also stipulated a major and expensive facilities program to renovate old schools and build new ones.Historical research and the authors’ personal experiences are interspersed with interviews that reveal the perspectives of students, teachers, administrators, and public officials who participated in the St. Louis metropolitan area desegregation program. Unending Struggle provides the historical background and a diversity of voices largely missing from the national debate on how to deliver equal education to African American children.

While every city understandably goes to great lengths to promote a wholesome image of itself to encourage tourism and business, there is often a far more interesting world that lies beyond the brochure photos of stadiums and glass skyscrapers. Only a city's residents can fully understand this reality. Ghost Town is a collection of ninety color photographs taken by native St. Louis artist Eric Post. His book explores a unique aspect of an aging American city s physical landscape and the quiet, haunting beauty of its vacant streets at night. Post s images not only give a new perspective to bustling daytime locations Steinberg Ice Rink; Forest Park racquetball courts; and the riverfront area his images also reflect the layers of the city s history by examining a landscape at rest. Post captures the desolate nocturnal grace of places in images that evoke myriad emotions, often contradictory.

Journey Beyond Diagnosis takes a compassionate look at the vast landscape of an illness experience. Greg Pacini-a licensed counselor and certified group psychotherapist-offers this book as assistance to survivors, caregivers, and medical professionals by likening an illness experience to long distance highway travel. Pacini not only illuminates the ups, downs, and curves of the journey, he offers important information about the trip from those initiated to illness. Eleven Rest Stops-step-by-step techniques for making the journey more comfortable-are interspersed throughout the narrative. These Rest Stops include strategies for responding to relationship tension, sleep problems, and depression. There are also special sections for caregivers and health care professionals. Journey Beyond Diagnosis is an invaluable tool for survivors of illnesses as well as their loved ones and caregivers. Pacini's analogy to a long drive proves insightful, and the text illustrates that an illness experience is indeed a journey of body, mind, and emotion.
