Book excerpt: Meet Harry Adkins, a self-declared "cockeyed optimist." Adkins believes he can beat any odds. Overweight, heavy drinking, a philandering international businessman in his forties with a long suffering wife when the story opens, he might have come to the end of that road of optimism. Friend and physician, Dr. Alex Quick-Campbell, offers an escape route. He signs up for the Healthy Hearts Live Longer study. Following a year of training and monitoring, H2 L2 predicts the precise day of the patient's death. A threat lurks in the background. Convicted murderer, Johnnie Allegro, has vowed to avenge his death penalty sentence by going after Adkins, the jury foreman. On the day a slimmer and healthier Adkins receives the predicted date of his death, Adkins decides to finish cleaning up his life. He sends a fax to Naomi, his Japanese business partner: their long-standing affair is over. Flash forward ten years. Today is the predicted day of Adkins' death. He has misremembered the day by one, however, and wakes up feeling victorious, his cockeyed optimism vindicated. He's alive! Healthy! Rich! Life is good! But Allegro has escaped from jail. There's a surprise in store. It's well worth the anticipation. There's a full meal of life in this witty novel. In the end, we root for cockeyed optimism to prevail: we want to wish Adkins a long and happy life. Scott Driscoll, M.F.A., award winning Seattle Freelance writer

Download or read book The Evolution of Library and Museum Partnerships written by Lisa Gottlieb and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-11-30 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These authors examine the unique social roles of libraries and museums, review historical precedents as well as library-museum partnerships funded in recent years through IMLS grants, and forge an exciting vision of a new library-museum hybrid. The juxtaposition of library collections and museum artifacts, they assert, has the potential to create authentic, interactive experiences for community members, and it can help establish a distinct, meaningful, and sustainable role for libraries. In the authors' words, libraries can then reassert themselves as places devoted to contemplation, wonder, knowledge acquisition, and critical inquiry. Commercialization, edutainment, and the library as a learning community are just some of the fascinating topics addressed as the authors explore the future's terrain, and suggest how libraries might situate themselves upon it. Libraries, museums, and the ways in which they are used by patrons have drastically changed in past decades. Digitization projects, infotainment, and the Internet are redefining the library's and the museum's roles in the community. What are the implications for the future of these institutions?

Download or read book Vashon Maury Island written by Bruce Haulman and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vashon-Maury Island lies between Seattle and Tacoma and is connected to the mainland by the Washington State Ferries. The bridge proposed in the 1950s and 1960s did not materialize, which helped retain the island's isolation and rural lifestyle. Like other Puget Sound islands, its original economy was based on logging, fishing, brick-making, and agriculture, especially its strawberries. Island industries included the largest dry dock on the West Coast, shipbuilding, and ski manufacturing. Distinct from the other islands, Vashon-Maury is the only one whose major town is not on the water. Originally inhabited for thousands of years by the S'Homamish people, the island's first white settler arrived in 1865. Today, 145 years later, the population is more than 11,000.
