Book excerpt: Small Victories is Samuel Freedman's remarkable story of life on the front lines in the sort of high school that seems like a disaster with walls--old, urban, overcrowded, and overwhelmingly minority. Seaward Park High School, on Manhattan's Lower East Side, has been ranked among the worst 10 percent of high schools in the state--yet 92 percent of its graduates go on to higher education. The reason is dedicated teachers, one of whom, English instructor Jessica Siegel, is the subject of Freedman's unforgettably dramatic humanization of the education crisis. Following Siegel through the 1987-88 academic year, Freedman not only saw a master at work but learned from the inside just how a school functions against impossible odds. Small Victories alternates Jessica's experiences with those of others at Seaward Park, and as we cone to know intimately a number of the astonishing students and staff, Small Victories reveals itself as a book that has the power to change the way we see our world.

Book excerpt: “Brand X and his fellow coyotes . . . are meticulously observed in the desert environment that Ms. Popham seems to know like her backyard. And so are the people of this fable—old Hallie and Albert . . . and the several varmint-hunters, callous or alcoholic or both. There is a parable of how we might relate to the creatures that share the world with us; and a parable of dreams versus realty; and a parable of home, of known territory with its comparative safety; and a parable of making the best of a world short of everything. The people and the creatures of Ms. Popham’s fable are right, they belong, and they mean.” —Wallace Stegner “This spare and affecting novel has the precision and the stinging sweetness of a fable. A wonderful book.” —Thomas McGuane “Refreshing . . . Life-affirming . . . The first book I’ve read in a long time that left me with teary eyes at the end.”—The San Diego Tribune “Captivating . . . The animals’ arduous westward journey down the Colorado River to the Gulf suggests a coyote world view that is subtly sustained by their mysterious ways.” —Publishers Weekly “With dramatic urgency and imaginative tenderness, Melinda Popham has given the world a painful, poetic, and delightfully unpredictable story that pulsates with hope and healing meaning.” —Al Young, California Poet Laureate Emeritus “Rich with poetic resonance.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review “Evoking a rich sense of place and animal behavior, [Popham] lets us see through very different eyes.” —The Seattle Times “A daring and visionary tale. [Popham] dares to tell us what a coyote thinks and sees and feels and dreams. . . . A hero of the classic kind—a furry, howling, water-seeking version of the Hero with a Thousand Faces.” —James D. Houston “Masterful . . . Astonishing . . . Remarkable . . . Put down the latest technothriller and bask awhile in the descriptive prose of Skywater.” —L.A. Life

Book excerpt: MY HIGH SCHOOL classmates completed four years of college last June, a date at which I too had completed four years of study. Their graduation was greeted by presents, parties and diplomas. Mine never occurred. What studies and studies and never graduates? The answer can be found in one word: autodidact. It can be used to describe anyone who is self-taught, and the self-taught are almost anyone. There have been autodidacts of every type: the father of our country (George Washington) and quite a few barons of industry (Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller); autodidacts interested in getting there (Henry Ford, the Wright Brothers, Amelia Earhart) and those who created the music to carry us along (John Philip Sousa, Aaron Copland); novelists (Ernest Hemingway, Virginia Woolf, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens); playwrights (Noel Coward, Clare Boothe Luce, William Saroyan, Tom Stoppard); film makers (D. W. Griffith, Charlie Chaplin, Irving Thalberg), and autodidacts interested in all that and marriage, too (Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon).

Book excerpt: This is the story of a remarkable mother and daughter and their love as they make sense of life and their relationship in the face of a deadly disease. Jacquie Gordon cannot cure her daughter Christine's cystic fibrosis, but she can teach her to follow life's gifts so that she grows up fearless and ready to discover her place in the world. In high school Chris comes into her own. Her wit and style hide her illness and turn ordinary moments into events. In her senior year, fearful that her illness makes her unappealing, she finds a love that will touch the heart of every reader. At graduation, she wins the Headmaster's Award for "educating the school in the most profound sense." Christine leads us on a funny, heartbreaking, exhilarating path: Through rock and roll from the Sex Pistols to U2 through slam dancing and Christian Fellowship through getting fake I.D.'s and saying her prayers through oxygen masks and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, through the Muppets and dyeing her hair purple, to singing with a band to catapulting herself onstage to kiss her favorite rock star. Defying the terror of her illness, she spends her life rejoicing. At college, eager for independence, illness forces her home in the very first semester. She returns to her mother's care, not as a resentful teenager, but as a beautiful and fiery young woman determined to share with her mother what she has learned of life. Chris had everything except one thing: good health. And in her familiar hospital room, with her family by her side, she lost everything to cystic fibrosis three weeks after she turned twenty-one. You will not be able to put down this enthralling book that gives us a rare and intimate chronicle of a teenage girl growing up in the 70's and 80's. Replete with passages from Christine's ten journals, Give Me One Wish tells the healing story of a beautiful girl who never stopped trying to live and who succeeds beyond all expectation. Readers of Give Me One Wish will never forget her rich journey and her wonderful victories. Listed among ALA's Best Books for Young Adults 1988. "This is a terrific book, which I recommend highly. We at the Muppets all loved Christine a beautiful and sensitive soul, a lover of life; but I never knew, until I read this book, just how brave and strong a fighter she was." Jim Henson, The Muppets "Christine was, at last, so alive, and that is the quality that her mother so vividly portrays in this lovely memoir." Frank Deford, author of Alex: The Life of a Child "This is a relentlessly realistic work about what it is like to live with and die from a chronic fatal illness. There is no pap, no sugar-coating; which is why it is a very good book for anyone who has the courage to face life and death squarely as we must if we are to be wholly human, and if we are to see those glimpses of glory which lies only beyond the terror. There are many beautiful things about this book." M. Scott Peck, M.D., author of The Road Less Traveled " This book has class. Gordon's style is elegant in its directness, with honesty and without sentimentality." The New York Times "This is a beautiful book about a mother and daughter sharing all the problems of life the normal everyday crises and an extraordinary battle against disease and growing together through them. It is for mothers and daughters, parents and teenagers everywhere." Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey, author of bestseller, A Woman of Independent Means "Christine's story is for all secondary students and adults. It carries a heavy emotional impact, but Christine is a person teens should know. Her spunk, her humor, her talent shine through Gordon's superb narration and collection of photographs. A MUST FOR ALL SECONDARY LIBRARIES." English Journal National Council of Teachers of English "An truly extraordinary book a story and a life which simply cannot be forgotten."

This book was released on 2001-01-29 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew Baigell examines the work of Edward Hopper, Ben Shahn, Frank Stella, and other artists, relating their art works to the social contexts in which they were created. Identifying important and recurring themes in this body of art, such as the persistence of Emersonian values, the search for national and regional identity, and aspects of alienation, he also explores the personal and religious identities of artists as revealed in their works. Collectively, Baigell's work demonstrates the importance of America as the defining element in American art.
