The Good Times are Killing Me

The Good Times are Killing Me

Lynda Barry

Drawn and Quarterly
2017
sidottu
Young Edna Arkins lives in a neighborhood that is rapidly changing, thanks to white flight from urban Seattle in the late 1960s. As the world changes around her, Edna is exposed to the callous racism of adults; sometimes subtle and other times blatant, but always stinging. At the heart of The Good Times Are Killing Me is the forbidden friendship between Edna who is white and Bonna Willis who is black, and how the world around them forces them to challenge their loyalties to each other. As Barry does in her comics, she perfectly captures the awkward and earnest adolescent voice as Edna moves from childhood to middle school. Originally published in 1988, The Good Times Are Killing Me is as relevant now as it ever was. Its influence cannot be overstated as it was adapted into an off-Broadway play and won the Washington State Governor's Award. D+Q will be publishing the novella in hardcover with a new cover and the color illustrations from the first edition.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

‘Hanging in with Kids’ in Tough Times

‘Hanging in with Kids’ in Tough Times

John Smyth; Barry Down; Peter McInerney

Peter Lang Publishing Inc
2010
nidottu
This book brings a unique, innovative and refreshing perspective to one of the most protracted issues affecting young lives – disengagement from schooling. Rather than continuing to blame young people, as most educational policies do, this book examines disengagement from the vantage point of the lives, experiences, interests and aspirations of the communities from which young people come, and within which they are embedded. It uses a narrative and representational approach that gives detailed insights into the wider context of poverty, class, power, relationships and identity. A major and defining hallmark of the book is the emphasis it places upon a number of ‘doings’, – including community voice, identity formation, critical work education and education policy – all of which provide a very different set of scripts with which to reinvent the institution of high school.

The Shortstop From Kalamazoo: The Life and Times of Neil Berry

The Shortstop From Kalamazoo: The Life and Times of Neil Berry

Neil Berry grew up on Walter Street in Kalamazoo, Michigan across the street from the city dump. The city filled in this dump when Berry was still young and in its place built the Upjohn Park athletic fields. This was a fortunate turn of events for Neil who was able to start watching and admiring the older boys who played on those fields. As he grew into a young man, he was able to spend many hours practicing in these fields. By the late 1930s Neil was a sports sensation playing left halfback in football for Kalamazoo Central High School and shortstop for the American Legion and Sutherland Paper Co. baseball teams.After a year at Western State Teachers College (now Western Michigan University) on a sports scholarship, Neil signed with the Detroit Tigers. He played one season of minor league ball before volunteering to serve his country in World War II. After the war and two seasons of AAA ball, Neil Berry made it to the majors. The Shortstop From Kalamazoo started the 1948 season as the Detroit Tigers starting shortstop.Neil Berry is not a household name even among the most ardent Detroit Tiger fans but Neil played with or against many of the greatest players in the game; Satchel Paige, Jackie Robinson, Yogi Berra, Ted Williams, Bob Feller, Hal Newhouser, and Don Larsen, to name a few.Through the ups and downs of his seven year Major League Baseball career, Neil Berry witnessed from the bench or the playing field many unique or one time events in the history of the sport. Neil was playing shortstop when the shortest player in the history of the Major Leagues, Eddie Gaedel, made the only plate appearance of his short (pun intended) career. Neil witnessed a teammate throw a no hitter in his first major league start and another teammate set a record with 12 consecutive hits. Neil's favorite game forced the first playoff game in the history of the American League.Neil and I met in October, 2013 and continued to meet almost every week until he passed away in August, 2016. He shared his stories with me and allowed me to record those stories for this book.Neil's wife Gloria had dutifully collected every word the press ever wrote about Neil and pasted those articles and pictures in three large scrapbooks. Those scrapbooks also allowed me to tell Neil's story from the perspective of the sportswriters of the time.
