Seasons
Set on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza, but ranging afield to a small college town in North Carolina, to the streets of Manhattan, and to the barrio chino of Barcelona, Writer-in-Residence tells the story of a successful American painter named David Bloom, who, to the horror of his family, his friends, and his fellow artists, is obsessed with destroying everything he paints. For the past five years he has burned every single painting that he has produced over the past 12 months in one glorious bonfire on Midsummer Eve.
Never Be Normal
Reviewers have said about Cohen's novel Seasons (The Permanent Press): " a finely etched story of one particular woman's coming to terms with the forces that have shaped her dreams and fears." The Boston Globe ... she moves from spring to spring echoing the formal design of Walden...but Cohen's vision rings truer." Boston Magazine --- Never Be Normal, Judith Beth Cohen's story collection, brings readers close to sixties rebels, political activists, struggling couples, and singles looking for love. Some of her characters resist normality in favor of a cause. Others are labeled because of their disabilities. Readers will meet a Jewish bus driver in Texas, a Yoga Guru, a Palestinian peace activ...

"This volume of New Directions for Teaching and Learning presents current trends in transformative learning and adult higher education. The practices explored by these authors illuminate Transformative Learning by showing a vivid picture of a theory in action. The concepts that knit these articles together despite the variety of educational settings and populations are: relationships, community, and the body experience -- often missing in higher education" -- Page [4] of cover.
Jahreszeiten
Ein junges Lehrerpaar, in den Städten und an den politischen Bewegungen der späten sechziger Jahre erwachsen geworden, kauft ein altes Farmhaus im entlegensten Winkel der USA.

Identity and Lifelong Learning in Higher Education
Learning and identity development are lifetime processes of becoming. The construction of self, of interest to scholars and practitioners in adult development and adult learning, is an ongoing process, with the self both forming and being formed by lived experience in privileged and oppressive contexts. Intersecting identities and the power dynamics within them shape how learners define themselves and others and how they make meaning of their experiences in the world. I Am What I Become: Constructing Identities as Lifelong Learners is an insightful and diverse collection of empirical research and narrative essays in identity development, adult development, and adult learning. The purpose of ...
