Dust and Light: On the Art of Fact in Fiction

Dust and Light: On the Art of Fact in Fiction

Hailed as a "genius-enchantress" (Karen Russell) and winner of the MacArthur Fellowship, the celebrated novelist Andrea Barrett has for decades reached backward to find inspiration from the past and written acclaimed and prizewinning works of historical fiction. In Dust and Light, the first work of nonfiction of her extraordinary career, Barrett draws from that deep well of experience to explore the mysteries, methods, and delights of the form.Inspiration found in the past, she argues, can illuminate fiction, just as dust scatters light and makes the unseen visible. Barrett writes of lessons gleaned from the classic work of some of her guiding lights (Willa Cather, Henry James, Leo Tolstoy, Virginia Woolf), as well as the work of such contemporary masters as Hilary Mantel, Toni Morrison, Colm T ib n, and Jesmyn Ward. She reveals how she created some of her own beloved works, taking readers on a fascinating journey into some of the largest questions in the genre: How does a writer find meaningful subject matter beyond the confines of their life? How are scraps of history found, used, misused, manipulated, and transformed into a fully formed narrative? And what are the perils as well as the potential of this process?Building on pieces originally published in leading literary magazines and featured in The Best American Essays, Dust and Light is an elegant exploration of the hazy borderlands of fiction sewn from the materials of history. Filled with profound insights, it will be a delight for any devoted fiction readers, and of great use to aspiring writers too.

"These [stories] are rust-belt blues, then, a vision of and lament for a past time and a swiftly changing place. They're not showy?the language is plain, the tragedy muted, the comedy low-key and wry?but they stick in the mind. Ray Carver would recognize these characters and situations, as would poet Philip Levine. I like to think that they would share my appreciation for this fine first book, built slowly and carefully over some years, and worth the wait."?Andrea Barrett Jerry Gabriel delivers an unsentimental portrait of rural America in Drowned Boy, a collection of linked stories that reveals a world of brutality, beauty, and danger in the forgotten landscape of small-town basketball tournaments and family reunions. In "Boys Industrial School," two brothers track an escaped juvenile convict, while in the titular novella, a young man and woman embark on a haphazard journey to find meaning in the death of a high-school classmate. These stories probe the fraught cusp of adulthood, the frustrations of escape and difference, and the emotional territory of disappointment??set in the hardscrabble borderlands where Appalachia meets the Midwest. Jerry Gabriel studied at Ohio State University, Northern Arizona University, and the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop. He has worked as a science writer and taught writing at a number of colleges and universities, including, from 2001 to 2008, Cornell University's Engineering Communications Program. Currently, he is a visiting assistant professor of English at St. Mary's College of Maryland.

This collection features three peer-reviewed literature reviews on reducing antibiotic use in dairy production.The first chapter describes the regulatory control of medicines in the United Kingdom and European Union and discusses the wider implications of antimicrobial use in dairy production and the need for change in the way we view and use medicines. The chapter also proposes how medicine prescribing practices in the dairy industry may undergo a series of changes in the near future.The second chapter considers recent advances of disease prevention in dairy cattle. Using bovine respiratory disease as a model, the chapter investigates key interactions between the host, environment and pathogen. These interactions can provide beneficial information that can be utilised to develop a prevention platform for multiple syndromes of bacterial disease in dairy cattle.The final chapter begins by assessing the need to promote digestive efficiency and productivity whilst maintaining animal health and welfare. It considers the role of probiotics in achieving this and reviews the range of research undertaken on the benefits and modes of action of probiotics. The chapter also details the role of probiotics in reducing antibiotic use in dairy production through improvements in areas such as pathogen control, feed efficiency and methane production.
Functional Family Therapy for Adolescent Behavior Problems

Adolescents with disruptive behavior problems represent one of the most difficult and recalcitrant treatment populations. These youth and their parents often enter treatment unwilling or unable to try new behaviors. This book explains how to provide Functional Family Therapy (FFT), an empirically supported, highly successful family intervention for delinquent and substance-using adolescents. FFT systematically alters important risk and protective factors associated with the problem behaviors. The FFT therapist first increases family members’ motivation to change by disrupting and replacing their dysfunctional attributions about themselves and each other. The therapist then works with the family to eliminate the problem behaviors and generalize new skills and interaction patterns to broader community relations.

Det finns många olika benämningar eller etiketter på ungdomar med relationsförsvårande beteende: Ungdom på glid, svårbehandlade tonåringar, värstingar och unga lagöverträdare är bara några exempel. De kan ha en utagerande beteendestörning eller ett drogberoende och de kan vara aktuella hos barn och ungdomspsykiatrin eller i socialtjänsten. Denna bok handlar om dessa ungdomar och deras familjer. Men framförallt handlar den om ett framgångsrikt sätt att behandla deras problem.I metoden funktionell familjeterapi (FFT), som började utvecklas av James F Alexander i slutet av 1960-talet, utgår man från två familjefunktioner som är särskilt centrala: närhet och distans i föräldra–ungdomsförhållandet och hierarkiförändring i familjen. Terapeuten undersöker i de tidiga samtalen hur den unges symptom påverkar dessa funktionsområden. Alla familjemedlemmars relationsbehov undersöks utifrån den funktion beteendet fyller i form av närhet eller avstånd. Behandlingen, som följer en manual indelad i fem faser, har utvärderats i en lång rad forskningsstudier och har i USA godkänts som ett av Blueprintprogrammen för evidensbaserad behandling. I Sverige har metoden använts i 15 år.Funktionell familjeterapi innehåller förutom behandlingsmanualen även en omfattande presentation av forskningsstödet för metoden och en illustrativ fallbeskrivning. Boken vänder sig till yrkesverksamma socionomer, psykologer och familjebehandlare i socialtjänsten och i barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin samt till studerande på socionom- och psykologutbildningen och på olika familjeterapiutbildningar.

This fascinating new book describes the evolution of the medical profession and how the role of the doctor and expectations of that role have changed over time. It critically examines developments in the light of both external influences such as the ageing population, patient attitudes and knowledge and government regulation, and internal changes such as the increasing knowledge base, advances in technology and changes in recruitment. Challenges in management, working environment, education and training are considered and practical recommendations for both practising and student doctors are offered. The holistic approach is supported with contributions from both primary and secondary care practitioners together with academics and educationalists. It is highly recommended for doctors and medical students seeking new strategies for understanding and managing change. Sociologists and policy makers, too, will find the wide-ranging perspectives enlightening.

Celebrate the defining moments of a great American painter's journey to creating his own voice in this stunning portrait of Andrew Wyeth.Andrew Wyeth is one of the greatest American painters of the twentieth century. Before he found his creative voice, he was a boy growing up in an artistic family, spending his time in rural Pennsylvania and Maine. Andy, as he was called by his family, was trained by his father, renowned artist N.C. Wyeth, but they didn't always see eye to eye. Pa wanted his son to work in bold, bright colors, and to fill his compositions with exciting characters and places. But to Andy, the most exciting stories to paint were the ones he lived every day, that featured the familiar people and places he loved most.Here's a portrait of a masterful American painter whose childhood shaped the painter he would become. It showcases Andrew Wyeth's unique world. The back matter includes six reproductions of celebrated Wyeth paintings. The project has been fully endorsed by the Wyeth Foundation for American Art.
