The Last Dance
"Begins 75 years after The Great Hinckley Fire of 1894 and the ending of Sandy's novel Timber; Fire in the Pines. Meet the descendents of Thor Nilsson and Sarah Stewart. They now work the land where the magnificent white pine timber once stood. Kate Amundson and Jonathon Nilsson lived on neighboring farms when they were young. Just before the Amundsons move yet again, this time back to the city, something happens between them that alters the course of both of their lives. They try to hide the painful episode -- even from themselves, but for very different reasons; Jonathan, for the self-loathing he feels because he believes he betrayed her trust, and Kate because of the guilt and shame she carries with her. Twenty years later, circumstances force Kate to return to Pine Crescent and become involved with the Nilssons once again. They try to ignore what happened so long ago, and to behave merely as former neighbors and friends. But the attraction they felt when they were young still simmers inside of them and it explodes once more, as it did on a Fourth of July night which now seems like a lifetime ago."--Website.
Class Awareness in the United States
Are social classes meaningful to Americans? The question has attracted popular and scholarly debate since the founding of the Republic. The Jackmans offer a new perspective on the debate by analyzing popular conceptions of social class. Mary and Robert Jackman assert that the meaning and reality of class cannot be evaluated without attention to its place in public awareness, and they draw on national survey to examine the willingness of Americans to identify with one of five social classes, ranging from the poor to the upper class. What meanings do people attache to these classes? Do classes have emotional significance? Why do some think of themselvs as working class, while other consider th...

Learning Conversations in Museums
What do people learn from visiting museums and how do they learn it? The editors approach this question by focusing on conversations as both the process and the outcome of museum learning. People do not come to museums to talk, but they often do talk. This talk can drift from discussions of managing the visit, to remembrances of family members and friends not present, to close analyses of particular objects or displays. This volume explores how these conversations reflect and change a visitor's identity, discipline-specific knowledge, and engagement with an informal learning environment that has been purposefully constructed by an almost invisible community of designers, planners, and educat...
Treasures from Olana
"The wide variety of selections from Frederic Edwin Church's collection of his own paintings shows the master in all phases of his career, in sketches and finished paintings, depicting the breadth of his subjects and the high technical skills that established him as an eminent and influential artist in his own time. As works he held on to or reacquired and kept in his house during his lifetime, they embody the heart of his artistic vision and convey a deeply personal slant. As pictures he hung and lived with at Olana, they tell the larger story of that extraordinary place and are as illuminating when seen in context as on their own."--from the IntroductionFrederic Edwin Church (1826-1900) tr...
