The Dream Blanket

Some of us choose to become caregivers. Others have caregiving thrust upon them. Wherever you fall on this spectrum, you may well find there are days when the person in your care doesn't want to eat anything you prepare. You may not realize it, but this could be because they can't eat it, not because they won't. This might be especially true in the case of an older person, as chewing can become more difficult as we age. The author, who trained at Le Cordon Bleu in London and worked as a sous-chef, found herself in just this position. Understanding, in retrospect, that the closer one is to the patient the harder caregiving can be, she has come up with a cookbook that offers a variety of soft foods-simple family dishes and old time favorites plus a few more intricate approaches for the lightest and easiest to eat preparations from the arsenal of classic French haute cuisine. The more tailored the food to the ability of the diner to eat it, the less the struggle at meal time for both the caregiver and the person at the other end of the fork.

The poems in Fragments are all easily accessible yet equally profound. Each gives the reader new insights into the book's "simple" subjects of the sea, nature, family and life itself. Each tells a story that ends with Stone's unique perspective, sometimes witty, sometimes provocative, but always illuminating and truly original. Fragments is a book to read, ponder and then re-read- and enjoy differently each time.

We truly are a profession at the crossroads... Most American World Language teachers are well tenured. Methodologically, they have witnessed, as well as survived, the grammar translation method, direct method, the onset of the audio-lingual materials, labored with the notional-functional syllabus and strained to understand the ever-elusive "proficiency" orientation. Based upon my frequent interactions with language teachers around the nation, it becomes increasingly evident that what impedes us from implementing our desire to render a generation of 'home-grown' multilingual' students to our nation is our historic "preparation." Most of us have been amply trained with regard to methodology; that is, how the teacher teaches. Very few of us, including the newly arrived to our profession, have a fuller notion of language acquisition theory; that is, how the human mind actually creates and acquires language. We are armed with an arsenal of teaching techniques that often miss their mark largely because we don't understand the nature of the target that we seek. Thus, we are In Search of Language. Engaged language departments around the nation are turning to the research as a catalyst for change. Professional and staff development workshops, heretofore focused primarily upon "teaching tips", now emphasize the language acquisition process and how to replicate it in the schoolhouse to the greatest degree possible. At the foundation of these workshops exists one overriding premise: Teaching will never suffice for what 'acquisition' must accomplish...

A privileged childhood among the dying embers of the Gilded Age is not the best preparation for a young woman coming of age at the second half of the twentieth century. The world Katie Bowman Morse has been trained for-the world of Emily Post, dinner parties, and marriage as a career-is rapidly changing. Soon she will have to find her footing at a time of massive cultural shifts: the Viet Nam War, the civil rights movement, hippies, feminists, and, perhaps most difficult of all, the relaxation of the norms her family held dear. In The Bar Harbor Formation, Ann Rutherfurd Austin illuminates the challenges Katie faces as she deals with her own personal tragedies amid a vanishing way of life.

The Bar Harbor Formation

Ann Rutherfurd Austin

Soaring thousands of feet into the sky, verdant two-thousand year old rice terraces sustain water-filled paddies perched precariously at the edges of towering, steep-sloped mountains. Secluded, seldom-visited inimitable tribes dwelling at subsistence levels in isolated distant jungles and rain forests cling to distinctive thousand year-old customs and cultures, practicing survival mechanisms crafted throughout the millennia. Nomadic tribes living on remote, outlying islands survive by cultivating rich mountainside soil, enriched by traditional slash and burn practices, providing sustenance in their seclusion from the modern world. These visions are the things of boyhood dreams and adventures, imagined over and over again by the author while growing up in Mid-America. Like adolescent boys perhaps everywhere, dreams of far-away, untouched places unleashed fantasies of visits to intact tribes living in the remotest enclaves in the Philippines, where intrigue, triumphs and achievements become part of their daily life. James R. Nelon chose to live out some of those early childhood imaginings. In a lull in his executive work life, he took a year off from the corporate world to chase the fantasies and daydreams of his childhood. Venturing into the remotest regions of the Philippines, the author traveled solo into the jungles and mountains of isolated islands and inaccessible villages to visit, stay with, write about and photograph peoples only envisaged. His vivid word descriptions paint a vision of life as it is today in the rain forests and jungles of the Philippines. His dramatic writings are only succeeded by the superb, rich images he captured as a talented photographer, images taken by him while on these adventures.

Tom Holt is a dreamer, a sailor, and an art student who finds himself drafted from college into the army and destined for Vietnam. As Holt is transformed into a foot soldier, he begins to discover how his wit and artistic talent can help him navigate this frightening new world. Although the essential backdrop is war, this is a story full of personal adventure, friendships, comic mishaps, and reflections. Through the chaos and insanity of the military, he keeps his spunk, his irreverence, his curiosity, and his conscience. The lush landscapes and exotic culture and religion of the region lead him to ask questions and search for answers, while the bonds of friendship and the sharp edges of danger combine to foster his spiritual growth. In the end, his lifelong love for boats and the sea leads him to the discovery of Middle Blue and the way through.
