No Hurdle Too High
America's most successful Grand Prix rider, Margie Goldstein Engle is the star attraction at any horse show in which she competes, as well as a role model for a generation of young equestrians. Despite her parents' objections, young Margie worked odd jobs at stables in exchange for riding lessons, then proved her ability in the show ring on ponies and, later, on horses. Her first Grand Prix victory came in 1986 on Daydream, and was followed by such notable blue-ribbon successes as the prestigious American Invitational, the Budweiser AGA Show Jumping Championship, and representing the United States in Nations Cups. She is the American Grandprix Association's only eight-time Rider of the Year,...
"They All Came from Someplace Else"
Beginning with Miami's incorporation in 1896 and its Bahamian pioneers, this work traces the history of Miami's immigrant communities through the building boom and bust of the 1920s and 30s, the city's heyday as a tourist destination and glamorous hotspot in the 1940s, and the subsequent crisis of racial and ethnic hegemony in the 1950s and 1960s.
Coming to Miami
"Miami deserves a total urban history, and Melanie Shell-Weiss is clearly the scholar the city has been waiting for. Coming to Miami is, by far, the best book ever written on the social history of Miami, still a very poorly understood and under-researched major metropolis."--Alex Lichtenstein, Rice University "Bringing together the stories of Jewish immigrant pioneers, African American migrants, Bahamian immigrants, Cuban refugees, Haitian immigrants, and others, Shell-Weiss has given us not only a glimpse of Miami's past, but also of America's future."--Elizabeth Clifford, Towson University Miami is the fifth largest urban area in the United States, yet it is a city barely one hundred years...

Ancient Miamians
"Ancient Miamians places a prehistoric face on a Miami that too often is regarded as a modern postscript to Flagler's railroad. McGoun paints 10,000 years of human history onto a missing piece of Florida archaeology."--Robert S. Carr, director, Dade County Historic Preservation Division "Presents widely scattered archaeological information in a novel and very accessible way. The literary device of 'a day in the life' is especially useful in bringing life to the standard archaeological facts."--James J. Miller, state archaeologist and chief, Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research, Division of Historical Resources Focusing on the Native Americans the Spanish called Tequesta and their ancest...
Teach, Jane. Teach, Dick. Teach. Teach. Teach
If you want to teach and inspire rather than simply lecture to a captive audience, if you are ready to expect and receive the best of which your students are capable, if you want to enjoy and take pride in the job you are doing, then Teach, Jane, Teach, Dick. Teach, Teach, Teach by Mona Pastroff Goldstein is the book for you. The author tells true stories to help you remember the lessons and dynamics within a classroom. She identifies skills and techniques (including those for "facing the firsts") based on thirty-five years of both her own teaching experience and that of evaluating successful practices in other outstanding educators. She encourages a highly motivated teacher to use, not just his or her own skills, but the many resources within the school and the surrounding community. In addition to providing numerous specific lessons or techniques that can be replicated by the reader, the book offers competencies for instilling helpful attitudes needed to produce self-motivated and self-disciplined students. Truly, the legacy of a caring resourceful teacher is a gift beyond measure

The Villa Dei Papiri at Herculaneum
The Villa dei Papiri at Herculaneum-buried during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79, then rediscovered in 1750-contained a large collection of bronze and marble statuary and busts. Before they were published or exhibited, the sculptures were restored so as to appear whole: it is thus that they helped to shape early modern tastes in classical sculpture. The book describes the nature of the ancient sculptures and their impact on the modern public. Their chance discovery affected the interpretation of the statues-their styles and subjects-over the course of the next 250 years. The ancient sculptures were copied extensively in reproductions of various sizes and patinas. The author traces t...
Minds Wide Shut
A timely exploration of intellectual dogmatism in politics, economics, religion, and literature—and what can be done to fight it Polarization may be pushing democracy to the breaking point. But few have explored the larger, interconnected forces that have set the stage for this crisis: namely, a rise in styles of thought, across a range of fields, that literary scholar Gary Saul Morson and economist Morton Schapiro call “fundamentalist.” In Minds Wide Shut, Morson and Schapiro examine how rigid adherence to ideological thinking has altered politics, economics, religion, and literature in ways that are mutually reinforcing and antithetical to the open-mindedness and readiness to comprom...
