'[This] survey of the many little magazines carrying the Beat message is impressive in its coverage, drawing attention to the importance of their paratextual content in providing valuable socio-political context. [...] The collection contains a range of insightful close readings, astute contextualizing, and inventive lateral pedagogical thinking, charting the transformation of the Beat scene from its free-wheeling, self-help, heady revolutionary 1960’s days to its contemporary position as an increasingly respectable component of the curriculum. [...] The Beats: A Teaching Companion is successful on a number of levels; it is a noteworthy contribution to the ever expanding field of Beat studies and, more broadly, cultural studies; and it is a collection that at its best gives hope that in referring to its ideas the inspired teacher may still be able to enlarge the lives of their students.'

Newly Released Version Forty-seven million adults presently suffer from Alzheimer's. This number will only increase. Employ the methods shared in this important book to keep yourself mentally well and to help loved ones who may suffer memory loss. In 400 BC, Aristotle taught memory improvement by using "visual, sensory, auditory, tactile modes, with an emotional component." Vicki Mizel uses the same approach, updated for our contemporary world. When no one believed the brain could regenerate, she was improving the brain function of Alzheimer's patients, successfully helping them recall information. Her pioneering work, starting in 1984, has now been verified by the medical profession. The brain can regenerate! You can start now employing memory methods to exercise and assist brain function. Daily practice of only five to ten minutes can help prevent memory loss from worsening. Eventually, if 60 percent of our baby boomers are in nursing homes, debilitated because of Alzheimer's, it could bankrupt our economy, disrupt families, and ruin lives that might have remained active into old, old age. Vicki Mizel's book offers her proven memory methods to you now.

Los Angeles. A city that is synonymous with celebrity and mass-market culture, is also, according to David James, synonymous with social alienation and dispersal. In the communities of Los Angeles, artists, cultural institutions and activities exist in ways that are often concealed from sight, obscured by the powerful presence of Hollywood and its machinations. In this significant collection of original essays, The Sons and Daughters of Los reconstructs the city of Los Angeles with new cultural connections. Explored here are the communities that offer alternatives to the picture of L..A. as a conglomeration of studios and mass media. Each essay examines a particular piece of, or place in, Lo...
