Water-Gazers
Elizabeth Schultz¿s sixth book of poetry, WATER-GAZERS, confirms and inspires our dependency on and our fascination with water. With particular attention to lakes and oceans, her poetry considers water not only as a source of multitudinous life, but specifically as a source of joy, of surprise, and occasionally of distress and disaster. The rhythms of water are the rhythms of her poetry. Schultz¿s poems allow us to contemplate our diverse relationships with water as we share it with other living beings, as we travel across it, as we abuse it, and as we listen to it in our dreams.
Shoreline
She visits her history and her present, exploring the northern environment of Michigan's lower peninsula, the development of an unusual summer community within that environment, and the growth of an individual within both the natural and human environment. Shoreline is not only a history of community but also a cultural study of all such communities."--BOOK JACKET.

The White-Skin Deer
The White-Skin Deer: Hoopa Stories follows the Mammoth Publication mission of recovering histories. It is a first-hand, fictionalized account of tribal elders' stories, written by a sincere and respectful non-Native woman, Elizabeth Schultz. Schultz wrote these stories based on her experiences living on the Hoopa Valley Tribe's land during the 1950s. This was a time period when Bureau of Indian Affairs policies of assimilation were at their height. Their boarding elementary and high schools actively worked against Native cultural practices, including Native language, ceremonies, economic systems, and kinship responsibilities. Like all good fiction, these stories prompt reflection. Embedded within them are the conflicts facing most American tribal peoples at that time.
The Blue Valentine
The new girl in first grade, Cindy determines to make friends with her teacher by making her a blue valentine, since blue is their favorite color.
The Bee Cottage Story
Inspired by Frances Schultz’s popular House Beautiful magazine series on the makeover of her East Hampton house, Bee Cottage, what began as a decorating book evolved into a memoir combining the best elements of both: beautiful photos and a compelling personal story. Schultz taps into what she learned during her renovations of Bee Cottage—determining how each area in the house and garden would be used and furnished—to unravel the question of how a mature, intelligent, successful woman could have made such a mess of her personal life. As she figures out each room over a period of years, Frances finds a new path in life, also a continual process. She comes to learn that, like decorating a home, our lives must adapt to who we are and what we need at different points along the way. The Bee Cottage Story is part memoir, part home decorating guide. Frances discusses the kinds of useful, commonsense design issues that professionals take for granted and the rest of us just may not think of, prompting the reader to examine and discover her own “truth” in decorating—and in her life.
Amish and Amish Mennonite Genealogies
This encyclopedia for Amish genealogists is certainly the most definitive, comprehensive, and scholarly work on Amish genealogy that has ever been attempted. It is easy to understand why it required years of meticulous record-keeping to cover so many families (144 different surnames up to 1850). Covers all known Amish in the first settlements in America and shows their lineage for several generations. (955pp. index. hardcover. Pequea Bruderschaft Library, revised edition 2007.)
Courtly Love, the Love of Courtliness, and the History of Sexuality
One of the great achievements of the Middle Ages, Europe’s courtly culture gave the world the tournament, the festival, the knighting ceremony, and also courtly love. But courtly love has strangely been ignored by historians of sexuality. With Courtly Love, the Love of Courtliness, and the History of Sexuality, James Schultz corrects this oversight with careful analysis of key courtly texts of the medieval German literary tradition. Courtly love, Schultz finds, was provoked not by the biological and intrinsic factors that play such a large role in our contemporary thinking about sexuality—sex difference or desire—but by extrinsic signs of class: bodies that were visibly noble and behav...
