Arnie and a House Full of Company
by Margarete S. Corbo Diane M. BarrasThe wonderful true, new story of Arnie, the famous talking starling. When Margarete returns to Cape Cod with Arnie and the three cats after a ten-year absence, she finds the family homestead so overgrown she has to prune their way to the front door. The house that had been full of love and laughter is now a lifeless shell, except for the ghost of Margarete's father in the bedroom. But, determined to make the house a home again, Margarete seeks out friends, old and new, animal and human--Edelweiss the skunk, Manx the tailless squirrel, Ekaterina the dying countess, April the neighbor who has lost her son. Soon Margarete and Arnie have filled their nest so well they begin to wonder whether there is such a thing as too much company. The first Arnie book was a story of breaking away, of letting go of dreams gone bad. The new one is a story of putting down new roots in old places. It says you can go home again.

The Carl Rogers Reader
by Carl R. Rogers Valerie L. Henderson Howard KirschenbaumDuring his last year of life, the distinguished American psychologist Carl R. Rogers had begun work on a one-volume collection of his writings with the assistance of Howard Kirschenbaum, author of On Becoming Carl Rogers, and Valerie Land Henderson, his associate of many years. After Dr. Rogers's death in February of 1987, they completed the project. This volume stands as a splendid introduction to the life and work of a pioneering psychotherapist. Selections ranging from 1942 to 1987 provide a personal look at his early influences and marriage, and reveal his approach to psychotherapy, individual case studies, research, and even cross-cultural efforts to improve communication with professionals in the Soviet Union. We see the beginning of "client-centered" therapy and can trace Rogers's commitment to its ideals through a lifetime. In the words of Dr. Sidney B. Simon: "The Carl Rogers Reader is a gem. Between one set of covers is the glorious and essential Rogers." Book jacket.
PrairyErth: A Deep Map
by William Least Heat-Moon(from flaps) PrairyErth is a vigorous and exalted evocation of the American land, its people, its past, its hopes. The very word "prairyerth," an old geologic term for the soils of our central grasslands, captures the essence of the American tall- grass country. Only a writer of William Least Heat-Moon's gifts could find in a single Kansas county the narrative of an epic, the nonfiction equivalent of the great American novel. Robert Penn Warren pronounced Heat-Moon's Blue Highways "a masterpiece ... a magnificent and unique tour." That best-selling book described a 13,000-mile, 38-state automobile journey into America. Now Heat-Moon has pulled to the side of the road and set off on foot. Instead of traveling endless miles, he takes us on an exploration of time and space, landscape and history, in one fragment of the Great Plains. Most American readers know three things about Kansas: it is flat, it has something to do with The Wizard of Oz, and the events of In Cold Blood took place there. Three illusions: the first is a lie, the second a fairy tale, the third a nightmare. Chase County is, however, a sparsely populated tract in the Flint Hills of central Kansas, "the last remaining grand expanse of tallgrass prairie in America," and PrairyErth lovingly details its 744 square miles and 3,000 souls till it looms as large as the universe while remaining as intimate as a village. PrairyErth is rich with Chase County's voices past and present, and is filled with anecdotes, gossip from its bars and cafes, Native American lore, and rueful tales of man's inhumanity to man and nature and of nature's indifference to humanity. Heat-Moon recounts the story of a farm couple swept aloft "by a tornado; reveals an Indian recipe to avert lightning; unearths a century-old unsolved murder; interviews a retired postmistress, a cowboy, a quarryman, a coyote hunter, a young feminist rancher. PrairyErth sets the story of a nineteenth- century tycoon, who dreamed of building a rail line to China through the county, against the memories of a retired Mexican railroad worker who can still recall every tie he spiked for the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe. It speaks of the passion of the slavery wars of Bleeding Kansas and the sad fate of the Kaw tribe, and gives us a hundred new ways to see stones, creeks, grasses, birds, beasts, and weather. Each of the book's vivid and evocative chapters is totally unexpected, yet "unexpected Kansas must be sought in its remoteness, a place you find only with effort." The millions who have read Blue Highway,), and those who have yet to encounter the genius of William Least Heat-Moon's writing, will find that he is one of those rare modern writers who can change forever the way we see ourselves and our country.
