Molly Fox’s Birthday $8.59 Dublin. Midsummer. While absent in New York, the celebrated actor Molly Fox has loaned her house to a playwright friend, who is struggling to write a new work. Over the course of this, the longest day of the year, the playwright reflects upon her own life, Molly’s, and that of their mutual friend Andrew, whom she has known since university. Why does Molly never celebrate her own birthday, which falls upon this day? What does it mean to be a playwright or an actor? How have their relationships evolved over the course of many years? Molly Fox’s Birthday calls into question the ideas that we hold about who we are; and shows how the past informs the present in ways we might never have imagined. |

”Cradles of culture, gardens of civilization”: Elementary schooling in Germany, 1900–1914. $49.99 This dissertation examines the elementary schools of late Imperial Germany as agents of socialization and “civilization” and arbiters of morals and manners, health and hygiene, that changed relations between the family, the community, and the state. Using the official regulations surrounding the schools, scholars have embedded the elementary school (Volksschule) in a master narrative of German history. This so-called Sonderweg neglects the lived experiences of the schools with all their attendant diversity, complexity, and conflict. Beginning inside the elementary school itself, this study argues that the impact of education was open ended and multifaceted. The state remained present and powerful at the Volksschule but schooling was also a social phenomenon, enmeshed in a web of shifting cultural and communal relations. Not only did government ministers determine educational policies and practices, so too did a variety of social groups as well as the Protestant and Catholic churches. There is no better indication of the diversity of German schools than the absence of a national education ministry before 1934.;This study takes an ethnographic approach to its subject, showing how the school’s rituals and rules, hierarchy of age and grade, splintering of information into separate subjects, and division of boys and girls, Protestants and Catholics, shaped the pupil’s ways of seeing and knowing. Focusing on Prussia and Saxony, it uses textbooks, lesson plans, the pedagogical press, didactic literature, memoirs, and school journals (Schukhroniken) to illustrate the ways in which the Volksschule and its teachers mediated ideas about the family, community, and the nation. Moral messages on cleanliness, thrift, punctuality, obedience, and order accompanied portraits of the Kaisers and patriotic texts. Pupils took field trips to local landmarks and celebrated the invented traditions of Sedan Day and the birthday of Wilhelm II. More than policies and prescriptions, the |

100 Ways to Have Fun With an Alligator: Plus 100 Other Involving Art Projects $38.59  This book is playful.  It is an invitation to a party.  Imaginative and beguiling, it is also deceptive:  not one if its pages preaches about art; yet none teaches anything else. So begins 100 Ways To Have Fun With An Alligator, unlike any other art activity book on the market.  First published in 1969, it is a product of that boundary breaking era, but its ideas are so fresh they beckon us even today. The projects in this book use materials as mundane as paper and cloth, as available as shadows and one’s own voice, and as minimally challenging as a camera.  Some involve hands-on techniques such as drawing, painting, sculpting and collage, while others are more theatrical:celebrating a poet’s birthday and free associating about a color.  Other fascinating ideas include:  screening an industrial film and asking students to match music to it, designing a card asking for something without words and – of course – 100 ways to have fun with an alligator, which include buy him some rose-colored glasses and teach him to make lasagna.  In the introduction, Albert Bush-Brown, a former president of the Rhode Island School of Design says of Art:  Everyone is invited.  There should be banners and flags, shadows and lights, beacons and fountains, with lots of color and pictures on the walls.  There should be games to play, poems to read, surprises, toys and musical instruments to bang and blow. You would be invited.  The invitations would be works of art; your acceptance would decorate the hall.   This is the spirit of 100 Ways to Have Fun With An Alligator.  |

The authors share a wide range of ideas for making this major life transition a time of opportunity, growth, and celebration. As Sheila Key writes in the introduction: “What Peg and I hope you’ll hear among these pages is the irrepressible rustling of joy — joy enough to make you bust out laughing, sure, and the kind that comes from improving your mental outlook and physical habits, even just a little. But also the simple joy of having lived this long, of being able to look back over five full decades and forward to who-knows-how-many more; not to mention…the joy of living more mindfully in the ever-present Now.” Bursting with anecdotes, activities, “things to try at least once,” advice from a savvy doctor, and clever ways to remember it all, this little volume sparkles like a treasure chest.

50 Ways to Leave Your 40s: Living It Up in Life’s Second Half $14.95 If you’re approaching that huge milepost with less than your usual birthday enthusiasm, open this book to discover all the ways in which turning fifty might just be the best thing yet. The authors share a wide range of ideas for making this major life transition a time of opportunity, growth, and celebration. As Sheila Key writes in the introduction: “What Peg and I hope you’ll hear among these pages is the irrepressible rustling of joy — joy enough to make you bust out laughing, sure, and the kind that comes from improving your mental outlook and physical habits, even just a little. But also the simple joy of having lived this long, of being able to look back over five full decades and forward to who-knows-how-many more; not to mention…the joy of living more mindfully in the ever-present Now.” Bursting with anecdotes, activities, “things to try at least once,” advice from a savvy doctor, and clever ways to remember it all, this little volume sparkles like a treasure chest. It’s as chock-full of useful and entertaining gems as your life is full of memories, regrets, dreams, and possibilities. |

A Brief History of Nakedness $15.9 As one common story goes, Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, had no idea that there was any shame in their lack of clothes; they were perfectly confident in their birthday suits among the animals of the Garden of Eden. All was well until that day when they ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and went scrambling for fig leaves to cover their bodies. Since then, lucrative businesses have arisen to provide many stylish ways to cover our nakedness, for the naked human body now evokes powerful and often contradictory ideas—it thrills and revolts us, signifies innocence and sexual experience, and often marks the difference between nature and society. In A Brief History of Nakedness psychologist Philip Carr-Gomm traces our inescapable preoccupation with nudity.            Rather than studying the history of the nude in art or detailing the ways in which the naked body has been denigrated in the media, A Brief History of Nakedness reveals the ways in which religious teachers, politicians, protesters, and cultural icons have used nudity to enlighten or empower themselves as well as entertain us. Among his many examples, Carr-Gomm discusses how advertisers and the media employ images of bare skin—or even simply the word “naked”—to garner our attention, how mystics have used nudity to get closer to God, and how political protesters have discovered that baring all is one of the most effective ways to gain publicity for their cause. Carr-Gomm investigates how this use of something as natural as nakedness actually gets under our skin and evokes complicated and complex emotional responses.            From the naked sages of India to modern-day witches and Christian nudists, from Lady Godiva to Lady Gaga, A Brief History of Nakedness surveys the touching, sometimes tragic and often bizarre story of |

A Wayward Wizard’s Wistful Words $7.36 This compilation of quotes and quips encompasses just a few years, and was only considered when I looked in my folder one day and saw just how many I had written.Someone suggested to me that I try to get them published in this form, stressing that it might make a good Christmas stocking, birthday, coffee table sort of book-nothing more pretentious than that.I agreed with them, and so here it is.I hope you enjoy these quotes and quips and get a chuckle out of them.Some are more thought provoking than others, but none should result in countless hours of philosophical wrestling or endless questioning of the ethical content. They just represent those few short moments when I put pen to paper, and tried to express my ideas as expeditiously as possible, while attempting to configure them in a context that has that touch of humor in it.It’s something that a lot of us do, whether it be in written words, in art form, or just in casual speech at the dining room table.Life is life. People are people. And some of all of that is funny. In my case, I find a lot of it funny.I find it prudent to laugh at myself before anybody else does. Besides, that way, they can laugh with me, and not at me.So, please enjoy, and I do hope that some of these efforts give you a smile from time to time. |

Greek ideas can be found in the laws that govern our lives, the buildings in which we live, the books we read, and the vocabulary we use every day.

Awaken the Senses (Silhouette Desire Series #1651) $4.05 Nalini has wanted to be a writer for as long as she can remember. As a child, when she wasn’t daydreaming, she was scribbling her ideas down in her notebook. Somewhere along the way, she figured out that a writer was as close to a professional daydreamer as it was possible to get. Writing then became her main career choice. However, a somewhat unexpected practical streak had her attending university and graduating with degrees in English literature and law (as spots for professional dreamers are scarce).Nalini worked in a law firm for almost two years before she sold her first book. She took it as a sign that “The Call” came the day before her 25th birthday–it was the universe’s way of telling her that the time was right for her to change careers from law to writing (though some of her friends suggested that she might be indulging in a quarter-life crisis). However, she is deliriously happy with her decision to follow her lifelong dream. Despite the fact that the 21st century is supposed to be hip and sophisticated and way too cool for love, Nalini believes in love and hope and forever, because without those things, this world would be a cold place. She’s delighted to be writing books that celebrate romance.In the next few years, she intends to shamelessly indulge her desire to write and to travel the world, including possibly taking up residence in another country for a short time. According to her, it’s all grist for the writer’s mill.You can email her at nalini@nalinisingh.com. |

Baby’s First Year: Memories for Life $1.99 A beautifully illustrated record book to chronicle all the special moments in a baby’s first year. It begins before the birth, where information such as the family tree, ideas for names, and thoughts on the baby’s arrival can be recorded and runs through to the baby’s first birthday. The book includes simple prompts to ensure no special moments are forgotten, as well as plenty of space for parents to write their observations and thoughts. These prompts encourage the reader to record day-to-day routines, such as feeding and sleeping patterns; likes and dislikes, for example, “my favorite bathtime toy” and “what I liked to eat”; and the baby’s “firsts”, from her first night at home, to her first smile, and her initial tottering steps. There is also space to record information about the world the baby was born into, such as the name of the prime minister or president, popular music, and prices of stamps and milk. A month-by-month section allows the parents to keep track of their baby’s constant achievements and changing behavior and also includes advice from Annabel Karmel on the baby’s development and handy tips to encourage her development. Eight recipes are punctuated throughout the book to inspire parents to make delicious, healthy food for their babies at various stages and also recipes for celebrations, such as a cake for the first birthday. Pockets and spaces for photographs are included throughout to ensure that every landmark is chronicled. This book is a wonderful and unique memento of a child’s first year that parents will look back on and share with their child in future years. |
