The Garden At Night

Burnout And Breakdown In The Teaching Life

BY MARY ROSE O'REILLEY
It's no wonder that burnout plagues the teaching profession. Teachers are on the front lines every day, meeting the needs of too many students at once. Meanwhile, they must also address an increasingly complex assortment of third-party expectations and deal with the politics of their schools and their departments. Whether you're a beginning teacher trying to sustain your idealism, or an experienced professional courting burnout, take a deep breath and read Mary Rose O'Reilley's The Garden at Night. O'Reilley draws on numerous experiences from the classroom and collegial life and identifies strategies that tap your own courage and strength.

Gay Marriage, Real Life

Ten Stories Of Love And Family

BY MICHELLE BATES DEAKIN
This intimate account of ten same-sex couples brings to life how the decision to marry has affected them and their extended families. These personal journeys present a range of experiences, from a mother who became a gay rights activist when her youngest child came out as a lesbian, to a girl whose realization that her fathers were not married spurred the men to join the gay marriage lawsuit in Massachusetts, to a lesbian couple and devoted mothers of twins who fight for same-sex adoption rights in Oklahoma. Deakin chronicles both their private strides toward acceptance and their public struggles to advance gay rights.

A Gentleman Of Color

The Life Of James Forten

BY JULIE WINCH
"Less than a decade ago, Forten remained a footnote in books on U.S. and African-American history. This new critical biography, the first serious work on his life and legacy, not only restores him to his rightful place in American history, but also presents readers with an invigorating and challenging new portrait of pre- and post-Revolutionary race relations and identities....The strength of the book, aside from rediscovering Forten, is the careful and often surprising research into the complexity of African-American life in the 18th and early 19th centuries." - Publishers Weekly

The Genuine Article

A Historian Looks At Early America

BY EDMUND S MORGAN
An interesting collection of essays on the history of early America, that somehow includes Andy Warhol but omits Quakers - even William Penn. Useful for its Southern and slavery sections, and if you read carefully about "Puritans" you can also learn much, not least about "Bundling", an unusual approved method of testing a marriage before the vows.

The Geography Of Light

Audio Cd

BY CARRIE NEWCOMER
This CD was in part influenced by Newcomer's friendships and recent collaborations with influential authors and theologians, including Parker Palmer, Phillip Gulley, Jim Wallis, Scott Russell Sanders and Barbara Kingsolver. Many of the album's tracks examine compelling ideas and questions arising out of her relationships within this Quakerly community - the idea that things are not always as they appear; that good exists at the center of things; that life is a process of transformation; that there is value in simple things; that wholeness is not beyond our reach. Through her songs, she asks: What is the nature of justice? Where do we turn for strength?

Underground Railroad & Civil Rights Freedom Songs, Volume 2

BY KIM AND REGGIE HARRIS
Black gospel spirituals often served to assert both a hope for a better life and to convey coded directions to runaway slaves heading north on the Underground Railroad. Many of these same songs became anthems of the Civil Rights movement of the 60s, their messages of faith and determination stoking freedom marches and rallies. Artists include Bernice Johnson Reagon, renowned musician, teacher, activist and founder of Sweet Honey in the Rock; actor Danny Glover; contemporary folk-blues performer Guy Davis and many others.

Getting Rooted

Living In The Cross, A Path To Joy And Liberation - Php 391

BY BRIAN DRAYTON
What does it really mean to absorb the learning that comes from our "roots" in Quakerism? Are there ways of approaching our roots that have a greater likelihood of bearing spiritual fruits? Brian Drayton explores the idea of "rootedness" at multiple levels - as metaphor, discipline and goal in order to reveal the ways in which we may derive the most nourishment from the roots that we seek to rediscover, and more importantly, so that God's spirit may flourish within and through us. Discussion questions included.

The Gilded Dinosaur

The Fossil War Between Cpe And Marsh And The Rise Of American Science

BY MARK JAFFE
The second half of the 19th century - the so-called Gilded Age -was also when scientists began finding dinosaur fossils across the western half of the nation. Could the answer to the history of life and the proof of evolution be found in these bones? That was the question two young American paleontologists - Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh - set out to answer. But what began as a friendly contestsoon turned into a bitter rivalry that would spill over into American science and politics and rage relentlessly for three decades. And despite his Quakerism, Edward Drinker Cope, like many of his colleagues, would prove to be ruthlessly competitive.
