During the first few weeks after Matthew Kirk was born -- brain-damaged as a result of oxygen deprivation during delivery -- the doctors advised his parents, Donna and Ed Kirk, to put him in an institution, have another baby as soon as possible, and get on with their life.But what the doctors didn't understand was that Matthew was their life.Indeed, as he grew, he would surprise everyone with his athletic good looks, spirited personality, and supreme ability to create joy and love as so many people gathered around to help him through his physical and mental struggles.Now, with the publication of this clear-eyed, laugh-inducing, and heart-tugging book, Donna Kirk recounts the story -- the love story -- of how she and her family found Matthew, and how he found them.
Rueben Kirkham was a first-generation Utah artist whose artwork provides an enduring documentation of pioneer life in the challenging environment and vistas of the West. Through the efforts of historian Donna L. Poulton, many new sketches, oil paintings, and even photography have been uncovered to attest to Kirkham's remarkable abilities, while describing in often heartbreaking detail the life and times of a man who truly suffered for his art.
Only in recent years have black people begun to recognize that suicide is a major problem for the African-American community. Suicide within this population exists in far greater numbers and for a longer period than many people realize, declares Dr. Alton R. Kirk. For more than 35 years, Dr. Kirk has been studying, teaching, and researching the literature of black suicide. In this landmark study, Black Suicide: The Tragic Reality of America's Deadliest Secret, he discusses several theories about suicide. Then he examines social, economic, religious, political, psychological, and racial forces that contribute to black suicide. He provides a unique perspective in his chapter on survivors-those left behind after a suicide. They describe how the suicide of their loved ones has affected their lives, destroyed their dreams, and left them in a state of turmoil and pain. Finally, Dr. Kirk recommends ways both to help reduce the number of suicides and detect behaviors that are destructive to black people. Any one suicide is unacceptable, he maintains, and we must do all that we can to stop it. Says Dr. Donna Holland Barnes, "Black Suicide: The Tragic Reality of America's Deadliest Secret should be read by anyone even distantly interested in suicide among the black population."

Geschichten und Gedichte lesen bringt echt etwas und ist bei jungen Leuten wieder "in". Die rund 50 Texte in diesem Buch zeigen dies jungen und jung gebliebenen Lesern auf höchst unterhaltsame Weise. Sie handeln von alltäglichen Ereignissen und drehen sich um Begebenheiten in der Familie und in der Schule. Sie erzählen von wahren Erlebnissen mit Tieren und schildern Beobachtungen in der Umwelt. Sensationelles wird ebenso berichtet, wie unscheinbare Geschehnisse. Die Texte informieren über das Leben berühmter Leute, aber auch über jenes von unbekannten Menschen. Manches wirkt eigenartig und enthüllt seinen Sinn erst bei genauerem Hinsehen. Eines ist jedoch allen Beiträgen gemeinsam: sie regen zum Nachdenken an und laden ein, miteinander darüber ins Gespräch zu kommen. Der Autor Alfons Schweiggert wird häufig eingeladen, in Schulen zu lesen. Viele der vorliegenden Texte wurden durch Gespräche mit Jugendlichen angeregt. Das Buch enthält insbesondere auch eine Auswahl jener Beiträge, nach denen bei den Leseveranstaltungen immer wieder gefragt wird.

Donna Haraway: Live Theory
Joseph Schneider

2005
nidottu
Donna Haraway: Live Theory is an invaluable introduction to the work of this key contemporary theorist and critic. Concise, accessible and comprehensive, it locates Haraway in the context of post-Vietnam US academic life, drawing out the roots of her political and intellectual concerns. The book makes clear the extent of her impact on the understanding of the relationship between 'nature' and 'culture', and how this played no small part in shaping the discipline of cultural studies. In particular, the book explores and illuminates the 'feminist science studies' that emerged from her writing, and her ongoing contribution to it, including the groundbreaking essays on the cyborg and situated knowledge. Haraway's identification of science and technology as being closely entwined with global capitalism is discussed in detail, as is her call for a new form of science that is resistant to any captialist imperative. The book includes a new interview with Haraway herself, in which she discusses the key themes in her work and likely and possible future directions. Donna Haraway: Live Theory is a key resource for anyone studying this pioneering thinker within the context of sociology, cultural studies and science studies.
