Hybrid Lives of Teaching Artists in Dance and Theatre Arts: A Critical Reader
The role of the hybrid artist-educator in schools and communities over the past fifty years has evolved significantly.

Seasons of Hope
Seasons of Hope, a Poetic Guide to Healing and Renewal, is a life-affirming view of the seasons of our lives. Each poem is paired with a set of thought-provoking questions designed to expand insight and prompt life-enhancing action. Every page reveals profound observations, insights, and inspirations. To borrow a line from one of its poems, this book "transforms the way / you see yourself and the world, / alters your very being. / And there is no going back."

The Mecklenburg Signers and Their Neighbors
Probably the finest genealogical record ever compiled on the people of ancient Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, this work consists of extensive source records and documented family sketches. Collectively, what is presented here is a veritable history of a people--a "tribe" of people--who settled in the valley between the Yadkin and Catawba rivers more than two hundred years ago. The object of the book is to show where these people originated and what became of them and their descendants. Included among the source records are the various lists of the Signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration; Abstracts of Some Ancient Items from Mecklenburg County Records; Marriage Records and Relationships of Mecklenburg People; List of Public Officials of Mecklenburg County, 1775-1785; First U.S. Census of 1790 by Districts; Tombstone Inscriptions; and Sketches of the Mecklenburg Signers. The work concludes with indexes of subjects and places, as well as a name index of 5,000 persons. (Part III of "Lost Tribes of North Carolina.")
