Reynard the Fox
There are many stories featuring the villainous hero Reynard the Fox in many languages told over many centuries, goingback as far as the early 12th century. All these stories are comic and much of the humour depends on parody and satire resulting in mockery, sometimes the subversion of certain kinds of serious literature, of political and religious institutions and practices, of scholarly argument and moralizing, and of popular beliefs and customs. The contributors to this volume, all of them experts in one or more of the Reynard stories and their backgrounds, focus on the transformation of these tales through various media and to what extent they reflect differences in the cultural, class, and generational background of their tellers.
The Physical Self
"Written by leading researchers from six countries, this is the first book to pull together the diverse range of research on self-concept from the medical sciences, psychology, sociology, physical education, and exercise and sport science. The contributors examine how the physical self motivates and determines behavior and contributes to mental health and well-being." "The Physical Self will help you trace how the concept of the physical self has evolved over the last decade and how it has contributed to our understanding of the total self."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Civil Courage
If we are responsible educators, the causes of the Holocaust must be addressed in order to prevent future genocide. Contemporary Jewish Identity: Emanuele Ottolenghi and Mark Weitzman examine contemporary antisemitism in Europe and North America respectively. Michael Pollan reflects upon Jewish identity from the unique perspective of a young Jew who worked as a civil servant for the Austrian government in a program designed to acknowledge Austria's role as a perpetrator of the Shoah. Testimony: Firsthand testimony will soon be available only in memoirs or recorded oral histories. In the future, second and subsequent generations must speak as witnesses. Sheldon Schreter, a grandchild of Holocaust victims, describes a visit with his four sons to Sighet, Romania, his parents' birthplace, and struggles with the question of 'Why?' The prevention of genocide is, in large measure, dependent upon the good will and intervention of citizens living in modern cultures.

Love and Laughter
Brimming with humor, warmth, and candid memories, Love and Laughter pays tribute to marriage and togetherness. In this poignant memoir, Rose E. Fox honors her relationship with Ken Fox, her late husband, and offers an intimate look at their friendship and love, as well as their vulnerabilities, trust, and devotion to each other. When Rose and Ken first met more than fifty-five years ago, they shared similar backgrounds, but their personalities were nothing alike, and their relationship faced inevitable challenges. Here, Rose looks back on their time together-from their first blissful years, to their sometimes rocky relationship, to the final days of Ken's life as he succumbed to a twelve-year battle with prostrate cancer at age seventy-six. Anyone in a marriage-and anyone who has suffered the loss of a true love-will be heartened and uplifted by this timeless love story, which captures a full range of emotions and celebrates the kind of courage, commitment, and spirit it takes to make a relationship last and thrive.
