by Rob Waring

Primary Story Journal Composition Book (Creative Story Book for Kids, #9)

This charming book is a series of entertaining and thought-provoking musings, mainly about the imagination, the sense of identity, the compulsion to write, and Isaac Asimov-who, as Janet Asimov says, was good at all of them. Dr. Janet J. Asimov, a psychiatrist and celebrated fiction writer, has penned this delightful memoir with insight, poignancy, and wit on topics that she and her husband, Isaac Asimov, found especially meaningful over the years. From profound issues such as religion, philosop...
The cats in Ivan's poems bear strong resemblance to their owners - in fact, often seem to BE their owners. These stylish works of art are zany, quirky, cutting, sad, funny, frisky, boisterous, even at times reverential. They convey vast amounts of biographical information in easy to read bite-size pieces. Romanticism permeates Ivan's love lyrics, music lyrics and love-music lyrics. Even so, intense feeling is sometimes qualified by a kind of surrealism and by the use of striking puns which are...

The book examines the pedagogical and curric...
Textualizing the Feminine (Oklahoma Project for Discourse and Theory, Vol 7)
by Shari Benstock
Emphasizing image and metaphor as modes of representation, literary criticism often dismisses as perfunctory the work of grammar and punctuation. Western notions of cognition that equate knowing with seeing support the tendency to ready "beyond" details and interpret the whole message while ignoring the local elements and practices that enable its totalizing understanding. In other words, the interpretive models that guide our reading practices emphasize visual imagery but do not always take int...
The Good Story is an exchange between a writer with a longstanding interest in moral psychology and a psychotherapist with a training in literary studies. J. M. Coetzee and Arabella Kurtz consider psychotherapy and its wider social context from different perspectives, but at the heart of both their approaches is a concern with stories. Working alone, the writer is in sole charge of the story he or she tells. The therapist, on the other hand, collaborates with the patient in telling the story of...
