If Edith Robertson had played it safe as a teacher, she would have had a classroom like any other, a commonplace career, and over a thousand of her students would have missed out on her wonderful, colorful, innovative teaching methods. * Who said that learning should mean sitting for hours on end while some teacher droned on and on at the front of the class? Not Edith. * Who said that the best way to learn grammar was by memorizing and diagramming sentences? Not Edith. * Who said that fourth graders can't be responsible enough be in charge of high-tech equipment? Again and again, it wasn't Edith. * Want to teach the times tables? Edith knew that rote memorization was nonsense; people learn by doing, not by abstract thinking. Almost every lesson became a game or an activity of some kind, and everyone was included; every single student was in charge of something. * The title "Stopwatch Teacher" refers to Robertson's ingenious use of a stopwatch (which her student's used), to add the spice of competition to their learning. There was a reason Robertson's students came up an average of three grade levels in a single year. Her teaching methods had been addressing the right side of the brain-the silent, creative side that associates knowledge with kinetic muscular movement, and then stores that knowledge away in long term memory. Edith Robertson tells her story, with nugget after nugget of down home insight and dry humor.

Are you ready to be seduced? Mary Kennedy Eastham's poetry and prose has been called darkly beautiful, erotic, lyrical and haunting. One reviewer said sitting down with her poems blew his hair back flat reminding him of when he was in high school, laying in the grass at the end of the runway as the jets took off. In the title poem, 'The Shadow of a Dog I Can't Forget' a woman, married for only sixty days, deals with feelings of melancholy by inventing a mysterious dog only she can see. In this carefully crafted world of runaways, mystical goddesses, happy strippers and Marilyn Monroe returned to us to comment on her life being auctioned away, the poet's words nag at us the way only a great seduction can.like liquid pearls falling from the sky above/as soft and easy as a fortune teller's dreams/We are beautiful alone with ourselves/they seem to say/evening snowflakes floating/beneath a faint moon/like fingertips about to touch/a new piano/each sound, each song/a miracle.

Critical Discourses on Gopal Parajuli is a collection of critical commentaries about Parajuli's writings.  "Gopal Parajuli is a poet extra-ordinary, who composes ambrosial messages as though they were transmitted via God.  His soul evokes true purpose of vitality...he has the ability to transform words on paper into the ethers of universal magic...Formation of true meaning out of the emptiness of humanity's follies." -Michael Levy

Dr. James Arthur has been a Lay Minister for Youth Services, and a Bible Study teacher. He is a member of the famous choir of the largest church in the United States - Lakewood Church of Houston - Texas.  A pen in God's hand, Dr. Arthur explores in this book the ways that Christians can effectively worship God - insisting that divine worship is a holistic act in which the body, mind, and soul participate. There is a demonstration that worship is more than singing, or going to a worship service, but aimed at enhancing our awareness of the schemes of the enemy, and at showing us the various acts of worship that would provide us the spiritual weapons for pulling down strongholds and defeating the powers of darkness.  Worship is natural and at the same time varied. Some people worship cars.  Some idolize particular people so intensely that they unconsciously worship those individuals. The type of worship explored in this book is the conscious effort of getting to know God and striving to be in His presence - a precursor to equipping Christians for building personal relationships with the Creator, and for knowing God as Abba Father, the author and finisher of all things.

Memoirs

Caroline Morrison comes of age during the turbulent war years of the 1940s. The attack on Pearl Harbor shatters the illusion that young women should lead sheltered and protected lives, and women realize they must help the war effort. Caroline is no exception. A civil service exam she takes as a class assignment in her senior year of college leads to an internship in hospital dietetics at Walter Reed Army Medical Center followed by a commission as second lieutenant in the Medical Corps. September 1944 begins a year of intense training and long hours at Walter Reed in Washington, D.C. Tension and excitement grip the city and the crowded hospital. Caroline finds herself involved in the lives of soldiers severely wounded in the Battle of the Bulge, supervises General Pershing's meals, encounters the fury of General Patton, and sees the spirits of patients lifted by visits from Helen Keller and Eleanor Roosevelt. During Lt. Morrison's colorful army career, she helps paralyzed patients, works with German prisoners, and even receives a proposal for marriage from an Eskimo private. With warmth and humor, Caroline Morrison Garrett describes her adventures and reflects on how events and people shaped her life.

<p>Love at First Sight! For Margaret there was no other dog like Teezer. From the first time she saw that little Shih-Tzu &amp; Maltese mix she knew that was the puppy for her. Margaret and Bob shared good times when Teezer made them laugh. There were sad times when Teezer made them cry. That little puppy seemed to fill an empty spot in their lives. Who could ever resist those big black eyes with that sad look and that tiny pink tongue just waiting to lick your cares away. They were so proud to walk with Teezer, everyone they met had to stop to pet her. With her head held high and her tail up like a feathery plume Teezer would strut from side to side as proud as a peacock when they walked her. A puppy that trained them well. Margaret lives in Burbank, Illinois with her husband Robert and their two adorable dogs. Rainy and Lady were adopted after the death of Teezer. Margaret keeps busy in her flower and vegetable gardens. She also spends time relaxing on their pontoon cruising Lake Freeman. Her spare time is spent enjoying the company of her three married children, their mates, and seven grandchildren. She likes to write poems, opinion pieces, and articles for some of the town newspapers. She enjoys writing stories about dogs that have given her so much enjoyment in life. She has written two other books: "The Dog Nobody Wanted" and "We Will Always Be Together".</p>

Musician, Accountant, Typewriter Dealer.  --------  Ray Robertson was a man of many talents, but sitting still was not one of them.  He will be remembered best as a businessman perhaps - an entrepreneur who had so much faith in success itself that he was able to take on new business ventures (in some cases with no prior experience), and by recreating himself, make them work.
