P. Buckley Moss, the People's Artist
This short autobiography is more than the life story of one of America's most successful artists. Along with a beautiful selection of her artwork, it is an insight into what it was like to grow up with a learning disability at a time when very little was known about dyslexia. P. Buckley Moss describes how she compensated for her dyslexia through her art. Now that she has largely overcome her problems, she helps others to overcome their disabilities. Ms. Moss has become a role model to the learning impaired & is a frequent speaker to special education & handicapped classes. Her story tells of her childhood in post-depression New York, one of three children born to Irish & Sicilian parents. In humorous & touching anecdotes, she tells of her struggle through school & the discovery of her artistic talent. Over 50 illustrations of her art follow her story through marriage, motherhood (she has six children) & the origins & development of her career as an artist. Hers is a heartwarming American success story which delights through her dedication to helping others by using her talents & her life as an example & inspiration to others.
This Will Make a Man of Me
This book offers a unique firsthand account of the experiences of a teenage officer in America’s Civil War. Second Lieutenant Thomas James Howell was only seventeen years old when he received his commission to serve the 3rd New Jersey Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Featuring sixty-five letters that Howell wrote home to his family, this book describes soldier life in the Army of the Potomac during the spring and summer of 1862, focusing on Howell’s experiences during Major General George B. McClellan’s Peninsula Campaign. Howell’s letters tell the story of a young man coming of age in the army. He wrote to his mother and siblings about the particular challenges he faced in seeking to earn the respect of both the men he commanded and his superiors. Unfortunately, however, the young lieutenant’s life was cut short in his very first combat experience when he was struck in the abdomen by a cannonball and nearly torn in two during the Battle of Gaines’ Mill. This book records Howell’s tragic story, and it traces his distinctive perception of the Civil War as a vehicle enabling him to transition into manhood and to prove his masculinity.
Psychotherapy Relationships that Work : Therapist Contributions and Responsiveness to Patients
This book is the result of the American Psychological Association's Division of Psychotherapy (Div. 29) Task Force aimed at applying psychological science to the identification and promulgation of effective psychotherapy.

Clinical experience and research findings underscore that the therapeutic relationship accounts for as much of the outcome as particular treatments. This volume's 25 chapters identify the elements of effective therapy relationships and methods of customizing psychotherapy to each patient.

Told in unflinching detail, this is the story of the Twenty-Ninth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, also known as the Giddings Regiment or the Abolition Regiment, after its founder, radical abolitionist Congressman J. R. Giddings. The men who enlisted in the Twenty-Ninth OVI were, according to its lore, handpicked to ensure each was as pure in his antislavery beliefs as its founder. Whether these soldiers would fight harder than other soldiers, and whether the people of their hometowns would remain devoted to the ideals of the regiment, were questions that could only be tested by the experiment of war. The Untried Life is the story of these men from their very first regimental formation in a county f...
