Fade to White
Throughout the last fifty years, author Edward Nichols has spent much of his interior life consumed with attempts to fill in the blanks and contradictions in his family history, especially the status of his father, who left the family in 1943. In Fade to White, Nichols shares his personal and family history against the backdrop of his fathers disappearance and how it affected every aspect of his life. For years, no one knew if Nichols father was dead or alive. This memoir follows Nichols upbringing in the small, isolated colored world of the Bronx in the 1940s and 1950s, to medical school abroad, to his long-running medical practice and helping pediatric patients, to advocating and supporting his daughters. Honest and poignant, Fade to White narrates his life story with its ups and downs and triumphs and challenges. It tells of one familys coming togetheran epilogue of one mans search for his father.
Elder Horror
As baby boomers gray, cinematic depictions of aging and the aged are on the rise. In the horror genre, fears of growing old take on fantastic proportions. Elderly characters are portrayed as either eccentric harbingers of doom--the crone who stops at nothing to restore her youth, the ancient ancestor who haunts the living--or as frail victims. This collection of new essays explores how various filmic portrayals of aging, as an inescapable horror destined to overtake us all, reflect our complex attitudes toward growing old, along with its social, psychological and economic consequences.
Alive
Leben hat viele Formen und ist vielfältig verflochten. Das Buch macht die Koexistenz verschiedener Wesen und Welten anhand von Dingen, Geschichten und Kunstwerken sichtbar. Es zeigt, dass die Mitwelt in vielen Regionen der Erde lebendig und aktiv erfahren wird: Berge und Flüsse sind nicht nur Ressource oder Kulisse, sondern wirkmächtige Quellen des Lebens; Pflanzen und Tiere sind nicht allein Nahrung, sondern Gefährten; Ahnen und Geistwesen beeinflussen den lebendigen Alltag. So verstanden, vermitteln lokale Perspektiven und alternative Formen des Miteinanders Wege in gemeinsame Zukünfte. Eine Vielfalt internationaler Autor*innen erzählt hier Geschichten von Geflechten des Lebendigen, die empathisch und informiert dazu einladen, unsere Beziehungen zur Mitwelt zu überdenken und neu zu knüpfen.

Steeped in a strong Midwestern tradition of naturalism, JJR embraces the tenets of respecting and working with the inherent natural features of a landscape.

It believes that good design goes hand-in-hand with good planning, a process that encompasses everything from civil engineering and landscape architecture to environmental science, urban planning and much more. The work of JJR responds to the local and regional context, blending the natural with the built, and the site with the community. More than forty projects are examined in detail in this superb monograph; projects include university campuses, sutainable environments, vital cities, building communities, and waterfront projects; all are presented with colour photography, maps, plans and drawings.
