Once More, With Feeling
How do you explain green mold in your hair? Would there be another way to handle a playground encounter at the grand old age of eight? How do you get even with a bully that breaks your best and only doll? The author is willing to give you all the answers to these questions and many more, all of which were experienced by her in the early days of growing up in West Virginia. There is a lesson in every chapter, sometimes humorous, often heart-wrenching, but there is a beautiful memory in every one of them. Once More, With Feeling is the true account of a youngster entering life in a small town in the mountains, surrounded by wonderful, different and always interesting people. It is the desire of the author to share this special era with her readers with the hope that it will give them pleasure.

Painted Fires
Painted Fires, first published in 1925, narrates the trials and tribulations of Helmi Milander, a Finnish immigrant, during the years approaching the First World War. The novel serves as a vehicle for McClung’s social activism, especially in terms of temperance, woman suffrage, and immigration policies that favour cultural assimilation. In her afterword, Cecily Devereux situates Painted Fires in the context of McClung’s feminist fiction and her interest in contemporary questions of immigration and “naturalization.” She also considers how McClung’s representation of Helmi Milander’s story draws on popular culture narratives.

Skating Engineers
Hockey at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) began on a frozen pond in Cohoes in 1902 and has twice reached the pinnacle of the collegiate game. Along the way, championship performances and awe-inspiring play have made hockey at RPI an institution. Starting with the nearly forgotten early years and continuing to the present, Skating Engineers: Hockey at RPI follows the course of the sport at Rensselaer, which emerged as a powerhouse a few short years after the program was resurrected following World War II. Highlights include the legendary coach Ned Harkness, who led an underdog team to the national title in 1954; the high-scoring early-1960s teams that returned to the national stage; the powerful mid-1980s squad that won the championship again; and the modern era, in which the women skate on the same historic field house ice as the men.
