Captain English's Legacy
Captain Englishs Legacy is about a wealthy and concerned Indiana business leader of the early 1900s who leaves the grounds of his summer home in Southeast Indiana as a place to work with indigent children having problems as his final heritage. Years later, on these very grounds, a program working with troubled elementary school-aged youth for over four decades quietly portrays the myriad of problems young children sometimes have to face in their lives, the resilience such children often demonstrate, and the caring but steady methods that work well with the majority of these young children no matter what the problem. The Englishton Park Summer Program for Children, as it is now called, is a s...
Buried in the Ivy
This book is an interesting, witty, and humorous sketch of a college professor's teaching life in a small liberal arts college. It is also a litany of higher education's successes and failures, problems and solutions.
Travels Of An Iconoclast
Travel is eye-opening, educational, and sometimes mind blowing! At best, travel experiences question everything you thought was sacred; challenges many “facts” you thought represented truth; makes you self-examine many of your personal values, and confronts head on the bullshit you’ve been fed by our politicians, the media, and American corporate interests. Vanuatu is NOT like it was shown on the American TV show, the Survivors: Vanuatu. The Philippines is NOT the happy little democracy we organized for them in 50 years of exploitative colonial rule. Sri Lanka is NOT contented tea pickers in brightly colored sarongs. Nor is Malaysia a sleepy little third world country of a few rubber p...

This book, in plain language, tackles many of the problems today's parents experience AND gives you practical, realistic ways of effectively dealing with them.

Dying in Egypt
DYING IN EGYPT: A REMARKABLE TALE OF DEATH AND ITS COMPLEXITIES is a story of what every traveler most dreads - getting sick and dying in an alien land where no one speaks your language, both the culture and the religion is different than your own, and you know no one. It is also a story about the devastating grief that occurs when you lose someone you truly love. But most importantly, it is a story about coping with that devastation and slowly learning how to live a meaningful life without diminishing your loss. The tale involves a perfectly health 70-year-old going on a world tour who suddenly falls ill on her way to Egypt and 11 days later is dead, six of those days in a coma. During that...
Around the World in 30 Years
This book was written as: (1) the perfect short read while waiting in airports; (2) the ideal bedside companion; and (3) a delightful gift book. Why? (1) The pithy tales are short, humorous, and insightful; (2) each chapter is all-inclusive - you can start and stop anywhere; and (3) there is nothing nasty, embarrassing, or sexy in it. Thus, Dr. Rawson, a psychology professor extraordinaire, introduces us to this charming collection of travel tales. Covering a time span of 35 years, the author takes us on a fascinating view of some of the worlds most exotic locations: the wilds of the Amazonian jungles, the clove plantations of Zanzibar, the pandemic of AIDS in western Africa, the old slave f...
'Talking Animals' (Dictio Grex)
"If you want to know what a slave looks like, look in the mirror!" Thus begins this rather unique primer on world slavery that was written by a psychologist (rather than a historian) who has visited many places in the world where historically slavery was a fact of life - from the ancient Babylonians to Nazi Germany. As such, there is considerable emphasis on how slaves were controlled physically, psychologically, and socially; how slaves dealt with their lack of freedom; the psychological price of their slavery; and why most slaves' attempts to free themselves failed. This book was designed for anyone interested in the topic of world slavery (especially as a supplemental reading for a world ...

Webb City
A psychologist authored this nostalgic look at a small Ozark town, Webb City, Missouri, from the depths of the Great Depression to the end of the Post World War II Era. It is a beautiful tribute and affirmation of so-called middle America and small town values and attempts to demonstrate how small interactions in a childs life make a tremendous difference. The story is unique: the tales are told as seen through the eyes of a perky, bright, rather independent red-haired boy who finds out for himself the good and bad of people, examines the values people use to give meaning to their lives, explores the deep prejudices and hero-worship that hinder their growth, and, most importantly, discovers ...
