The Monsters That Never Die
When he was nine years old, Robert Penfield heard an eerie voice beckon to him from the hurricane-ravaged waters of the local river. He believed the garbled voice speaking to him from the bowels of that dirty flood water was the voice of death. From that moment on, his life changed forever, and his story began.This is a story about a young boy who went fishing and came home with more than any kid could fit into his head, the lore of a 300-year-old monster from another realm.It's a story about a young Indian maiden, murdered by a rogue band of warriors in 1670, reincarnated as a monster from another world.It's a story about common people and common lives, who journey through fear and deal with life's everyday monsters...whether they're real or make-believe. This is a story about a young boy who grew into a man, one who lives a life where he spends every day thinking about dealing with those monsters.
The Last Echoes from Down 'n the Hole
During the 1955 Little League season in Simsbury, Connecticut, the Giants, a team of no-name players upset the mighty Yankees to win that season's championship. The season was played on a field that no longer exists - down in a sleepy hollow that is no more. Now, over 66 years later, there remains no accepted rationale of just exactly what happened. Some think it was just plain old dumb luck. Others feel it was one of those baseball things that just happen. A few believe it was magic...in a place where magic really happened. That's what makes that long ago 1955 season so mysterious, so alluring, and why I needed to travel down some very old roads, resurrecting those memories from so long ago by digging up some very old bones. Those memories, well, I needed to remember them before I forgot.
Healing Powers
The personal testimony of individuals engaged in healing practices and the opposing voices of orthodox and alternative medicines are the center of Healing Powers. Focusing on medical norms and practices and on competing philosophies of the mind, the body, reality, and rationality across radically different "belief systems", Fred Frohock clarifies the social and legal dilemmas represented by "scientific medicine" and "alternative care." "Frohock goes beyond the often irreconcilable differences between scientific biomedicine and alternative care by clarifying the social and legal dilemmas they present. . . . A noteworthy contribution forcing us to rethink what medical care is all about."—Jef...

The Renaissance of General Relativity in Context
This contributed volume explores the renaissance of general relativity after World War II, when it transformed from a marginal theory into a cornerstone of modern physics.

A Life of Obstructions
On November 17, 1973, the world changed and a legend was born. A band of girls from tiny Granby High School won Connecticut's first-ever state field hockey tournament They beat Guilford High School scoring the winning goal in the second sudden death overtime. This is a journey through a life of highs and lows. A regular season of sticks and obstructions. Games against long-time rivals and emerging powerhouse teams. The joy and pain of a single elimination tournament. This memorable season is a bridge to a fifty-year journey for the game of field hockey in Connecticut's public high schools: overcoming the barriers of systemic oppositions by state municipalities to federal guidelines for Title IX, the institutionalized practices of gender bias, discrimination and homophobia. A Life of Obstructions by Rob Penfield tells a story about common people and their accomplishments playing a game, not because they had to, but because they wanted to be a part of something special. Because on November 17, 1973, the world really did change and a legend was born.
