![]() ![]() Over the years, while in private practice and working within a number of agencies, many individuals have walked into my office seeking help and support after leaving an abusive marriage or relationship, attempting to heal after years of childhood abuse and/or wanting to learn how not to recreate an abusive relationship from the past. I wanted to share some of her concepts here because so many of the clients I work with have first hand experience with verbally abusive relationships. ![]() One resource that I often suggest to clients is reading, The Verbally Abusive Relationship: How to recognize it and how to respond, by Patricia Evans. When working with clients, I attempt to empower them and included in this, I provide them resources. Book Review: The Verbally Abusive Relationship: How to recognize it and how to respond, by Patricia Evans ![]() ![]() When Charles had chosen to frighten all those poor people at the airport so she'd win her bet, she'd thought she'd detected mischief in his eyes. The expression on his face was exactly the same as the one he'd had when they left their house yesterday, heading for the airport so he could fly them to Seattle, where they had caught the commercial flight. It made travel more discreet, no hotel charges, no strangers coming in to clean every day.Ĭharles turned back. The one in Boston belonged to the corporation.

Anna followed Charles out of the hotel, trying to figure out what had happened with him and why so she could decide how to proceed.Ĭharles led the way out of the hotel and turned in the direction of the condo where they were staying. ![]() ![]() Anthologies usually have a design behind them. ![]() I’m still trying to discern the VanderMeers’s methodology for the stories they collect in The Big Book of Science Fiction. “Doc” Smith’s Skylark and Lensman series vastly overshadowed Hamilton’s space operas. ![]() Edmond Hamilton is most famous for his Captain Future series, but even those fan favorite stories from the 1940s weren’t reprinted as books until 1969, and then as cheap Ace paperbacks. Most of Hamilton’s early magazine work wasn’t published in book form until the late 1960s or 1970s. However, because it took decades for these stories to be reprinted suggests they weren’t fan favorites. All of them were republished in 2009 as The Star-Stealers: The Complete Adventures of The Interstellar Patrol, The Collected Edmond Hamilton, Volume Two, a collector’s edition from Haffner Press that’s now out of print and costs hundreds of dollars used, if you can find a copy. Five of the Interstellar Patrol stories were first published in book form in 1965 as Crashing Suns, the year before Star Trek premiered. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Albany Library trustee, 1988–90 leader of East Craftsbury Recreation Program, 1983–2000 elder of East Craftsbury Presbyterian Church, 1989–.

Unfortunately, I’ve been struggling with this task on a personal level, and this is because there is so much wrong with it. It’s a fundamentally flawed text on almost every level, and it’s been difficult to even work out where to begin. ![]() I’ve taken it upon myself to review the book, to encourage the critical thinking that’s sorely lacking in the media reception of the text. Following my look at an extract published online, I was cursed enough to get my hands on a copy, and I have a lot of feelings about it. I forced myself to read Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression by Johann Hari so you don’t have to. ![]() ![]() ![]() Through memoir, interviews and extensive reading, Treuer counters the familiar narratives of invisibility that have so readily frozen America’s indigenous peoples. ![]() “The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee,” by David Treuer (Ojibwe), examines these recent generations of American Indian history. The Self-Determination Era has now grown in prodigious ways and yielded countless examples of achievement across Native North America, including the elections of Haaland and Davids as the first American Indian women ever elected to Congress. Though still poorly understood, this era emerged from urban and reservation activism in the 1960s and ’70s, when community leaders, students and veterans, among others, challenged onerous policies that had aimed to assimilate tribal communities. ![]() During an era known as “Self-Determination,” Indian tribes and their citizens have changed not only their particular nations but also the larger nation around them. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() On a birthday trip to New York City, a girl learns about her roots, Harlem, and how to stay true to herself.Įleven-year-old sneakerhead Amara is struggling to feel seen and heard. Using a combination of short exchanges of dialogue and frequent wordless reaction shots, the Holms again leverage simply drawn scenes colored by Pien into a loosely autobiographical narrative that is poignant and hilarious in turn and emotionally rich throughout. Despite such low notes, though, the general trend is upbeat-with Gramps coming up from Florida for a visit, a sisterly, Indian-American teen neighbor named Neela Singh moving in next door (adding some diversity to the otherwise all-white main cast), and a heartening if long-distance thank-you from Dale for the pet rock Sunny gives him at Christmas being particular highlights. The story unfolds in successive episodes of Sunny’s self-conceived The Sunny Show that confront her with domestic challenges ranging from little brother Teddy’s filled diaper (“Something Smells”) to the stormy holiday visit by formerly loving but now angry, troubled big brother Dale, come home from a military-style boarding school (“Six Million Dollar Boy”). The tale is set in the 1976-77 school year and framed by references to TV shows of that era (both contemporaneous and reruns, including The Six Million Dollar Man, The Brady Bunch, and Gilligan’s Island, with amusingly pithy show notes for each). ![]() A home-centered sequel to Sunny Side Up (2015), with incidents joyful and otherwise in a middle schooler’s life. ![]() ![]() ![]() Zweig's interest in psychology and the teachings of Sigmund Freud led to his most characteristic work, the subtle portrayal of character.

This can, however, lead to more and more people giving speeches, which I think is a totally good thing, but timings become more important because if everyone goes over by a bit, that adds up to a whole chunk of behind-schedule-ness in the day.
