Shorties
In this reflective, light-hearted memoir, author Louis S. Rupnick chronicles his life’s journey, beginning with his childhood on Long Island and ending with the discovery of his life’s purpose, teaching. Long before his teaching career, however, a recently graduated, eighteen-year-old Lou takes off on a cross-country, Jack Kerouac-style road trip, with his trusty canine pal, DOG, and his ’56 Chevy, affectionately named Raunchy. As young Lou puts on more miles, he gathers more memories, wacky stories, and life lessons than he would ever imagine. Now almost sixty years later, Lou takes stock of his most significant experiences, from the humorous to the poignant to the downright extraordinary. About the Author Louis S.

He served on a minesweeper in the USN from 1964 to 1968. He served as Professor of Psychology and Sociology at Suffolk Community College in Riverhead, New York.

Jewish Pioneers of Saint Paul, 1849-1874
The roots of the Jewish community of St. Paul, MN, were established in 1849, with the arrival of two American-born brothers from Pennsylvania. From these early pioneers the community grew and spread. Through the medium of historic photographs and stories, this book captures the remarkable evolution of the Jewish people of St. Paul. It is a story of the cultural, religious, economic, and everyday life of St. Paul Jews. These pages bring to life the people, events, neighborhoods, and institutions that helped shape and transform today's Jewish community. These photographs, derived from the collections of the Minnesota Historical Society and the Ramsey County Historical Society, paint a poignant and vivid picture of Jewish life in St. Paul. In addition to recalling the establishment of Mt. Zion and Sons of Jacob, the first two major synagogues in St. Paul, this book displays the distinct impact that prominent Jews of the community, such as Abram Elfelt, Judge Isaac N. Cardozo, and Isador Rose, had on the shaping of St. Paul.
Rhetorical Investigations
Rhetorical analysis of texts exposes plausible ‘truths’ and presumptions implied by the writer’s presentation. In this volume, Leslie Gardner analyses the master psychologist Jung, who claimed to be expert at uncovering personal, psychological truths. In his theoretical writings, his rhetoric reveals philosophical ramifications which bear strong similarities to those of the rhetorician of the 18th century, Italian philosopher Giambattista Vico. This book is driven by an interest in arguing that it is possible to read Jung’s works easily enough when you have a set of precepts to go by. The paradox of scientific discovery being set out in Jung’s grotesque and arcane imagery begins to...
