Artist Deborah Schenck finds inspiration for her photographs while taking countryside walks and exploring antique shops near her home in Vermont. Originally from England, where she worked as a professional photographer with a passion for historical photographs, she was drawn several years ago to the old print look of Polaroid transfers, a process by which a photographic image is transferred to watercolor paper rather than photographic paper. Her images, which she further enhances with paints, capture the simple and subdued beauty of flowers, seashells, and antique objects, and are among Chronicle Books' best-selling notecards. The Deborah Schenck line is a tribute to the delicate colors, nostalgic imagery, and the textured look and feel of handmade objects that Deborah strives for in her photographs.

Chittister from the introduction "Between Two Souls" presents a lovely, spiritually uplifting conversation in poetry between a gifted modern-day Roman Catholic nun and a nineteenth-century Zen monk. Offering an utterly unique entree into spiritual contemplation, this book pairs inspirational writing from two distinct but mutually enriching faith t...
In the middle of the first decade of the twenty-first century,African Americans made up approximately twelve percent ofthe United States population but close to forty percent of the United States prison population. Now, in the latter half of the decade, the nation is in the midst of the largest multi-year discharge of prisoners in its history. In Releasing Prisoners, Redeeming Communities, Anthony C. Thompson discusses what is likely to happen to these ex-offenders and why. For Thompson, any discussion of ex-offender reentry is, de facto, a question of race. After laying out the statistics, he identifies the ways in which media and politics have contributed to the problem, especially through stereotyping and racial bias. Well aware of the potential consequences if this country fails to act, Thompson offers concrete, realizable ideas of how our policies could, and should, change.
