Book excerpt: Grave-robbing. What kind of monster would do such a thing? It's true that Leonardo da Vinci did it, Shakespeare wrote about it, and the resurrection men of nineteenth-century Scotland practically made it an art. But none of this matters to Joey Crouch, a sixteen-year-old straight-A student living in Chicago with his single mom. For the most part, Joey's life is about playing the trumpet and avoiding the daily humiliations of high school. Everything changes when Joey's mother dies in a tragic accident and he is sent to rural Iowa to live with the father he has never known, a strange, solitary man with unimaginable secrets. At first, Joey's father wants nothing to do with him, but once father and son come to terms with each other, Joey's life takes a turn both macabre and exhilarating. Daniel Kraus's masterful plotting and unforgettable characters make Rotters a moving, terrifying, and unconventional epic about fathers and sons, complex family ties, taboos, and the ever-present specter of mortality.

Download or read book The Color of Dust written by Benjamin Lawless and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Octogenarians, such as myself enjoy thinking about those adventures in a long life that continue to energize our memory banks The stories collected in this book are true and illustrate a time when museums were less bureaucratic and more idiosyncratic than most of them are today. But idiosyncrasy was exactly the circumstance of the "Nation's Attic" when I joined that community of scholars and researchers back in the mid twentieth century. These stories recount some marvelously eccentric professional behavior and collections equally eccentric which include wonders such as mermaids, simian astronauts, flesh eating beetles, and a silk purse made from a sow's ear. These people and their exotic behavior were observed daily by a new employee who thought that an institution as famous the Smithsonian would be a citadel of decorum and elegance. Not so and happily not so for my adventures among the museum's colorful inhabitants made the business of collecting history absolutely fascinating. Benjamin Lawless graduated from the University of Illinois as an accomplished portrait painter who discovered early on that his skills in capturing a human likeness were not nearly as useful as those of capturing the history of America through museum exhibitions. His fortunate encounter with one of America's great museums, the Smithsonian Institution, resulted in a lifetime of employment among interesting people and world class collections that entertained the author so much that after his retirement the memory of it resulted in this book. When not writing or sketching exhibition ideas for history and science museums around the country, the author sits in a house that he hammered together on the banks of the Potomac River outside of Washington, D.C. observing eagles, ospreys, beaver, deer and foxes who tend to believe what is mine is also theirs. It is truly a delightful way to spend one's sunset years.

Download or read book Imaginary Companions and the Children Who Create Them written by Marjorie Taylor and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-05-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many parents delight in their child's imaginary companion as evidence of a lively imagination and creative mind. At the same time, parents sometimes wonder if the imaginary companion might be a sign that something is wrong. Does having a pretend friend mean that the child is in emotional distress? That he or she has difficulty communicating with other children? In this fascinating book, Marjorie Taylor provides an informed look at current thinking about pretend friends, dispelling many myths about them. In the past a child with an imaginary companion might have been considered peculiar, shy, or even troubled, but according to Taylor the reality is much more positive--and interesting. Not only are imaginary companions surprisingly common, the children who have them tend to be less shy than other children. They also are better able to focus their attention and to see things from another person's perspective. In addition to describing imaginary companions and the reasons children create them, Taylor discusses other aspects of children's fantasy lives, such as their belief in Santa, their dreams, and their uncertainty about the reality of TV characters. Adults who remember their own childhood pretend friends will be interested in the chapter on the relationship between imaginary companions in childhood and adult forms of fantasy. Taylor also addresses practical concerns, providing many useful suggestions for parents. For example, she describes how children often express their own feelings by attributing them to their imaginary companion. If you have a child who creates imaginary creatures, or if you work with pre-schoolers, you will find this book very helpful in understanding the roles that imaginary companions play in children's emotional lives.
