No Parent Is An Island
It's two a.m. and you've got a crying child and you know you'll never remember this five years from now, but tonight it's all there is. It's two p.m. and the kids have covered themselves - outside and in! - with petroleum jelly, in just under thirty seconds. You know this could never happen to anyone else. Could it? No Parent Is An Island explores those moments when life becomes ... an adventure! For author Paula Johanson, it has been an adventure complicated by twins, a farm, and a partner with an overdeveloped sense of humour. To say nothing of pigs, splendid isolation, and forgotten territory. As Paula writes: Sometimes all it takes is a single lyric, like the Travelling Willburys singing...
Working Parent
Looking for real life stories? You'll find them here. Working Parent continues the adventures of two writers raising gifted twins, that began in the popular book No Parent Is An Island. On the farm or bouncing like ping-pong balls in Grandma's basement, this family is always busy. Author Paula Johanson has calluses from farming and from writing these stories and a stack of nonfiction books. As Paula writes: "After reading a review of notebook computers, I knew I wanted the portable qualities of a notebook. So I bought one. Spiral bound, five subject dividers and lined paper. I can even take it to the pool and write fiction or reviews while my kids take swimming lessons. It works. So do I." Doublejoy Books is pleased to present his book as a long-awaited sequel to No Parent Is An Island, by popular request. Working Parent is the second book in the series Slice of Life. The series goes on with Under The Plow, a collection of Johanson's popular op-ed columns for a rural newspaper. "Paula Johanson chronicles the adventure of parenthood with wry wit and ironic accuracy." - Jim Holland, editor, Island Parent magazine

The Paleolithic Revolution
Archaeologists have found evidence that as humans entered what we now refer to as the Upper Paleolithic Era, they started using a whole new toolset. The evidence suggests that major behavioral shifts also occurred. For example, humans started making arresting cave paintings and carving statuettes. Scholars refer to these changes as the Upper Paleolithic Revolution. Readers will learn how archaeologists use evidence to piece together what life was like during the Upper Paleolithic Era. Theories about the origins and development of language are also discussed, as are new discoveries about archaic human admixture with modern humans.
Women Entrepreneurs
Before the twentieth century, women were expected to be housewives and caregivers. Business was left to the men. Still, out of necessity, thanks to family privilege, or simply because they had a good idea, there were some women who became successful entrepreneurs. Their success inspired other women, who in turn inspired others, until women became fixtures in the business world. Readers will learn about the women who followed their instincts and rose to the top of a mans game. Also included are chapter notes, a glossary, a further reading section containing books and websites, and an index.
Alchemy and Artifacts
There is nothing new in the world except the history we do not know. Alchemy and Artifacts (Tesseracts Twenty-Two) is a collection of twenty-three amazing stories based on historical artifacts combined with fantastic historical fiction. The stories meld culture, concept and incident into a rich collection of 'what if' speculations that provide warnings yet revel in the cultural celebrations we continue to observe today. They are the touchstones that resonate with all who listen to and learn from the past. For, once the instigators are dead, the wars ended, and the political machines decayed, only artifacts remain. And it's through these cultural artifacts that we glimpse the possibility of w...
The Story Within
“A compelling collection of essays that address the experiences of many who have genetically based illnesses.” —Library Journal The contributors to The Story Within share powerful experiences of living with genetic disorders. Their stories illustrate the complexities involved in making decisions about genetic diseases: whether to be tested, who to tell, whether to have children, and whether and how to treat children medically, if treatment is available. More broadly, they consider how genetic information shapes the ways we see ourselves, the world, and our actions within it. People affected by genetic disease respond to such choices in varied ways. These writers reflect that breadth of...
