Samuel Beckett and the Visual Arts

"[A] psychedelic love letter. . . ."&mdash;New York Times &#9733; "Smith gives light, air, and sound to the life story of an unparalleled musician. . . . Rodriguez&rsquo;s gritty, oil-based woodblock paintings effectively capture Hendrix&rsquo;s passion, drive, and genius. . . . This creative, impassioned, in-your-face biography is as on fire as Jimi Hendrix&rsquo;s guitar."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review  "Poet Charles R. Smith Jr. and illustrator Edel Rodriguez have collaborated on this electrifying picture book biography of guitar genius, Jimi Hendrix. Visuals practically leap off the page and stab the eye and ear with bright, bold colors and pulsating sounds. . . . This book breaks the mold, personifying Jimi Hendrix's journey to greatness using the art of poetry and illustration with jarring effectiveness." &mdash;School Library Connection "Using flashy colors and explosive compositions, Rodriguez creates a set of poster-style illustrations that give this tribute to legendary "git-tar man" Jimi Hendrix both an evocative urgency and a strong period flavor."&mdash;Booklist "Bursts with psychedelic color and rhythmic verse. . .&#160;&#160;Free verse structured like one long song with repeating motifs is an effective choice for conveying Hendrix&rsquo;s creative and musical journey. . . . Music radiates from Jimi in swirls, rays, and zig-zags, and he is rendered in a different dynamic pose on each page."&mdash;School Library Journal "Smith casts his narration in free verse rhythms reflective of Hendrix&rsquo;s musical. . . . Rodriguez tracks Hendrix through a vibrant visual age progression that will engross readers with the revolving door of looks. . . ." &mdash;The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Hendrix fans young and old will appreciate this look at how 'Jimi showed the world/ how to kiss the sky.'"&mdash;Publishers Weekly

The Story of Guitar Legend Jimi Hendrix

Song for Jimi

Friedman uses his unique position as family therapist and rabbi to explore ways to be an effective agent of change in a group. He shows how ceremonies and rituals, as developmental markers in the lives of families and organizations, can be transformed into systemic interventions that spur healing and growth. In the footsteps of Murray Bowen, Friedman moves seamlessly between a leader's self-differentiation as a person and his or her role within families and other systems, giving each their due. For family therapists, Generation to Generation is a pioneering text that illuminates the relevance of personal spirituality and religious life to the functioning of healthy families.--James L. Griffith, MD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, The George Washington UniversityGeneration to Generation provides a needed corrective to the general tendency in ministry to focus on the individual. I have found the text to be useful in my Youth Ministry courses to remind Catholic missionaries that the family is the domestic church. While we may see the individual in front of us, Friedman widens our vision so we may see the larger context of the individual at home and in the congregation. Insightful and grounded in reality, Generation to Generation is a valuable resource for those intending to minister to others.--Biff Rocha, MA, Department of Theology, Benedictine College, Atchison, KansasWhen [this book] was originally written, learning about the emotional side of congregations was not part of the curriculum in most seminaries. Now it is the gold standard in this area, and Generation to Generation is a text many clergy carry with them each day....Just as the book&#8217;s title suggests, Friedman&#8217;s ideas continue to be passed down to today&#8217;s generation of leaders.--from the Foreword to the Paperback Edition by Gary Emanuel, PhD, and Mickie Crimone, MS, APRNWell written and lively...required reading for pastoral counselors of every persuasion....Any therapist will find here new techniques for bringing about changes and will enlarge his or her conceptual framework of the human dilemma. --Jay Haley-A feature throughout the book is the heavy use of story and narrative to make a point. This is very effective as the narrative often contains multi-dimensional meanings that the author then explores in an engaging way....Provides an interesting and very readable account of how to incorporate family processes into congregational life.--Journal for the Study of Marriage and Spirituality, 3/4/2011ƒƒI was shocked, surprised and disillusioned when I began to realize that hard work, sincerity and prayer weren't enough to guarantee success in pastoral ministry. I kept getting myself into tangles that I didn't understand until I read this book by a storytelling rabbi with uncommon wisdom. Friedman helped me see that the best way to engage with the factors I can't control—like the opinions and behavior of others—was to focus on the factors that I can control: my own presence, identity and behavior in the social system of the local congregation.--The Christian Century, 3/4/2011ƒƒAn important contribution to...family systems thinking and pastoral care....One of the most creative aspects of this volume is the way the book is laid out. The chapters are organized around interrelated concepts that feed back on and amplify one another—a design that itself helps the reader begin to think systemically.--Journal of Pastoral Care and Counseling, 3/4/2011ƒƒA groundbreaking book in the use of family therapy....The key is not expertise, but self-definition and self-understanding.--Behavioral Studies of Religion, 3/4/2011ƒƒA must read for persons of the cloth, for it points to significant issues and considerations on the experience of living in families and working with a congregation as a family.--Review and Expositor, 1/3/2005

A Story for Holy Week

Bare Tree and Little Wind

"Given the number of books addressing cyber threats, discovering a new threat type is difficult. Nevertheless, this book succeeds in doing so: cyber attacks enhanced by artificial intelligence. In the authors’ parlance, we are currently experiencing an artificial intelligence arms race. Cyber warfare between machines driven by artificial intelligence is coming. The later chapters of the book cite actual artificial intelligence programs underway in China, Europe, elsewhere in Asia, and in the US—complete with budgets and mission statements. Though this research has profound social and cultural consequences, Abaimov (Univ. of Rome) and Martellini (Univ. of Insubria, Como) focus on the consequences for cybersecurity. Ultimately the best defense against artificial intelligence attacks is more powerful forms of artificial intelligence. The book ends with a fascinating suggestion: unplugging computer networks from the internet and guarding portals with artificial intelligence may be the best available defense."

Offering practical tips, remedies and recipes, he also shine light into North America's only Blue Zones in which people live on average ten years longer than others living nearby."  &#8212;Jeff Stanford, coauthor of Dining at the Ravens&#160;  "John Howard Weeks has written a book for&#160;people&#160;like me&#8211; who love life and want to live as long as possible.

Thankfully, Weeks' gentle humor makes the whole prospect very easy to digest."  &#8212;John Plessel, columnist for The San Bernardino Sun and food blogger for Dine 909&#160;  "There are many books talking about healthy eating, but reading The&#160;Healthiest&#160;People&#160;on&#160;Earth really gives you convincing data that following a vegetarian diet really is better for you. John Weeks has the uncanny ability to make the reading easy and engaging. I guess it's time for me to alter my diet! I encourage everyone to read this life-enhancing book."  &#8212;Allan Borgen, food critic and host of TV and radio&#160;  "Weeks nails it! This important work is the latest in a growing body of evidence, that a plant based diet is the path to logevity and quality of life. A must-read for all who want fewer doctor visits and lower medical bills."  &#8212;Robert&#160;S, Peterson, MPH, former director of Public Health Education at Castle Medical Center in Kailua, Hawaii
