I have always loved the story in Henry James' novel, Washington Square, and I needed to find something for a young Hispanic actress I wanted to work with, so with Ron Bashford's help, we adapted the story. As we worked on it, we found that it fit really well in the early Sixties, on the verge of the huge social revolution. This time period also made sense because the female lead was trapped in the Fifties by her conservative mother, a successful woman who was ashamed of having a half-Hispanic child. Sometimes, when you're working on a play, things fall in place-the backstory for our play (I say "our" because Ron Bashford was such a close collaborator) arose effortlessly out of the story we were presenting. As the last scene takes place, the young Hispanic daughter hears the beginning of a Sixties protest and leaves the house to join them.Constance Congdon
The Search for E. T. Bell

The Search for E. T. Bell

Constance Reid

Mathematical Association of America
1996
sidottu
Eric Temple Bell (1883-1960) was a distinguished mathematician and a best selling popularizer of mathematics. His Men of Mathematics, still in print after almost sixty years, inspired scores of young readers to become mathematicians. Under the name of John Taine, he also published science fiction novels (among them The Time Stream, Before the Dawn, and The Crystal Horde) that served to broaden the subject matter of that genre during its early years. In The Search for E. T. Bell, Constance Reid has given us a compelling account of this complicated, difficult man who never divulged to anyone, not even to his wife and son, the story of his early life and family background. Her book is thus more of a mystery than a traditional biography. It begins with the discovery of an unexpected inscription in an English churchyard and a series of cryptic notations in a boy's schoolbook. Then comes an inadvertent revelation, by Bell himself, in a respected mathematical journal. You will have to read the book to learn the rest.

Of all the French dollmakers, for over half a century, Jumeau reigned supreme. Originally made as playthings, many of these dolls are, today, among the most sought after antiques, being fought-over at international auctions by some of the leading collectors. This history book, the most complete written on the subject to date, traces the chronology of Jumeau production from its beginnings in the 1840's through the end of the nineteenth century. Full color pictures, carefully chosen to show the beauty and different moods of the faces, are accompanied by text that provides collectors with important and interesting information. A current price guide, a special section on Jumeau marks, and a historical list of international prices and sizes are presented as important references.

Widely known for works that celebrate the traditions of her family and her South Texas Latino community, Carmen Lomas Garza has been active as a painter, printmaker, muralist, and children’s book illustrator since the 1970s. Born in Kingsville, Texas, she experienced institutionalized racism in a segregated school system that punished Mexican American students for speaking Spanish. Through her art, which draws on her childhood memories and depicts the relationship between family and community, Garza challenges the legacy of repression while establishing the folk art idiom, as employed by nonwhite and immigrant artists, as a vital element of American modernism. Garza’s art illustrates how, despite racial inequities, cultural conflict, and urban pressures, the Mexican American community has sustained a rich and vital cultural identity. In this volume of the pathbreaking A Ver series, Constance Cortez explores Garza’s artwork in the context of the Chicano/a art movement, family and regional traditions, and Garza’s own political and social activism.
Hospice or Hemlock?

Hospice or Hemlock?

Constance Putnam

Praeger Publishers Inc

End-of-life decision making is often viewed from an academic perspective, which can obscure the debate's central human concerns. This guide introduces general readers to people with personal stakes in the right-to-die conundrum. Putnam provides practical assistance to readers and their loved ones, simultaneously incorporating the abstract and theoretical analysis essential to examining how we die in contemporary Western society. She also presents the backgrounds of the Hospice and Right-to-Die (Hemlock) Movements.To elucidate the human side of the debate, Putnam profiles and interviews six important figures:• Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern Hospice Movement• Derek Humphry, founder of The Hemlock Society in the U.S.• Herbert Cohen, an early leader in euthanasia circles in The Netherlands• Timothy Quill, whose assistance in a patient suicide resulted in a case before the U.S. Supreme Court• Joanne Lynn, founder of Americans for Better Care for the Dying• Jack Kevorkian (profiled, but unavailable for interview)Another unique feature of this book is the application of philosopher Judith Jarvis Thomson's general theory of rights to the very specific right to die. Pointing to potential compatibilities between the two positions, she concludes that heroic compassion does not require a final choice between Hospice and Hemlock—there may be room enough for both.

The Miracle of HypnotherapyI was fourteen when my grandmother took me to see Reveen. I was mesmerized by his ability to put people into a trance state and suggest that they do something, and they did. But it wasn't until I was in my thirties that I was hooked. I wanted to know how they did it How did the hypnotist make you do things that you said you couldn't do?Once I found out that hypnosis was a type of meditation and that you were speaking directly into the subconscious mind, is when I fell in love with it I have not found anything better than hypnotherapy for helping a person be rid of their phobias, past hang-ups, fears, or self-sabotage acts. I now use a combination of hypnotherapy with soooo many of the modalities I offer.

A Conversation with My Mother About Sex, Boys and How She Married My Dad
This book was written with the hope of encouraging mothers to have conversations with their daughters about topics that are very important but are often difficult to discuss. After reading it, hopefully daughters will be encouraged to go to their mothers, aunts, or other female relative and ask these sometimes "hard questions" and hopefully, mothers will be encouraged to initiate conversations (even if uncomfortable at first) that will answer these same questions for their daughters.
