Some of my work is featured in the book Landmark, the Fields of Landscape Photography.
This book is an international survey on contemporary landscape photography, edited by William A. Ewing.
Ewing has selected more than 230 photographs by over 100 photographers. The book is organized into ten themes: Sublime; Pastoral; Artefacts; Rupture; Playground; Scar; Control; Enigma; Hallucination; and Reverie. It won’t come as a surprise that my work is part of the Control-chapter. In this theme it is accompanied by the works of Axel Hutte, Alex MacLean, Mishka Henner, Andreas Gefeller and Stephane Couturier a.o.
As an introduction to the book, on page 2 and 3, you can find Contact Sheet #1 (source) accompanied by Arthur Schopenhauer’s quote: “Every man takes the limits of his own vision for the limits of the world”
The book is published by Thames & Hudson, London.

Community-engaged research (CER) is also called participatory action research (PAR). In community-engaged research, the researcher involves a community in the research process. When conducting research for social change, communities directly impacted are knowledge holders who are valuable contributors to the research process. From this perspective, communities are not just passive objects of research, they are active subjects with knowledge that can shape the project.
The level of community involvement in the research process varies. Depending on the project, the researcher might involve the community from the very beginning, in the research design, or later in the process. The resources below provide more information about community-engaged research. The first is a brief introduction to community-engaged research by the University of Victoria in Victoria, BC, Canada. The second is a toolkit and guide for doing community-engaged research by the Community-Engaged Research Initiative (CERi) at Simon Fraser University (SFU).
For this module, you will use the provided resources to search for readings on surveys, interviews, and focus groups. Next, you will study community-engaged research.
- Search for readings on surveys, interviews, and focus groups
- Answer the following questions about each method: how do you carry out the method? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the method? Why do researchers use this method?

Recently a right wing nincompoop named Pnina Lubin lectured me on why President Obama and other Democrats were anti-Semitic, anti-Israel or just plain obtuse. She asserted that the decades of Democratic support for Israel, even when compared to years of Republican opposition to Israel from 1945-1968, is mere history and not relevant. And BTW, she wrote, Truman’s support for Israel was due to his “Christian Faith,” so why quibble about the intent of right wing Christian believer’s support of Israel?
I have posted the list of letters sent to President Truman, as compiled by the Harry S. Truman Library, which advocate American support for the creation of the State of Israel. If you look carefully at this list you will find that the vast majority of these letters come from Jewish writers, and especially from Eddie Solomon, Truman’s old friend and fellow shop owner from Missouri, who historians have long noted was the crucial voice affecting Truman’s position. You will also note that although many non-Jews also sought Truman’s ear on this issue, none wrote as Christians, advanced a theological argument or were evangelical, fundamentalist or right-wing Christians. Dean Acheson? Clark Clifford. Dean Rusk? Are you kidding me?
Pnina Lubin and her ilk think that facts are ancient history irrelevant to the truth. It’s simply a waste of time to look at the actual documents addressed to President Truman. Why get confused by the facts? This is how we end up with the political divisions which beset us today. We’re not a nation of Republicans and Democrats; we’re a nation of people who think facts matter and people who believe that facts are merely inconvenient, troublesome, just another name for lies. —Rabbi Kerry Baker

Inspired by pupils at Ernehale Juniors
On Wednesday 8th November Mrs Corton and I had the absolute privilege of being invited to the Ernehale Juniors singing assembly. The reason for our visit was to present a number of prizes to the year 6 pupils who entered the ‘Book Blurb’ competition during the Year 6 Open Evening in early October. All pupils who visited during the Open Evening were invited to enter the competition when they visited the library. Mrs Corton then had the pleasure of reading the entries and deciding on an overall winner and the runners up. There were a number of runners up from a variety of local schools including Arno Vale, Arnold View, Coppice and Ernehale, the overall winner was Annabelle from Ernehale. Annabelle won a range of goodies including a book, a pencil, bookmark, chocolate and a £5 gift voucher.
We were both made to feel very welcome by all of the pupils from year 3 to year 6 as they sang us two songs by the Beatles ‘With a Little Help from my Friends’ and ‘Penny Lane.
Well done to all of the runners up and the winner of the competition and a huge thank you to all of the students for welcoming Mrs Corton and I to Ernehale Juniors.

Getting started using Forge should be fairly easy provided you take the time to read the documentation. First see (ghub)Getting Started from Ghub’s manual. Ghub is the library that Forge uses to communicate with forge APIs. While Ghub can be used independently of Forge, its "Getting Started" part was written with Forge users in mind.
Please begin reading in (ghub)Getting Started and then come back here and make sure to read the subsections.
Loading Magit doesn’t cause Forge to be loaded automatically. Adding something like this to your init file takes care of this:
(with-eval-after-load 'magit (require 'forge))
Or if you use
(use-package forge :after magit)

Lost in the Middle is a graphic novel that follows 8th grader Kai as he and his best friend Elle create videos for the social network, “4Reel” to help younger kids transition to Fourth Ave Middle school. It starts with easy stuff, like how to open a jammed locker, but quickly gets to the harder stuff, like how to open up to a friend about death. Each character leans on their own coping mechanisms as they struggle with different kinds of loss—but in the end, they learn to lean on each other. Their message to all of us—you are not alone.
We hope you enjoy the fourth installment in our original series, Kai’s Journey!
Kids and adults can have different experiences with loss, but that doesn’t mean we have to be alone in our journeys. Together, we can transform collective grief into collective healing.
These free discussion guides, designed specifically for parents and educators, offers insights and tools to help promote productive conversations about loss and healing.
Thank you for signing up!
Kai’s grief journey started long before Lost in the Middle. In the previous 3 books, Kai and his mom learned how to navigate the unexpected death of his father. This trilogy was created for a younger audience, setting the foundation for Kai and his friends before their middle school days.

The expression”research paper” may sound like a very simple description of some kind of academic writing, however it’s anything but easy. A research paper is an outstanding example of academic writing that contador de carateres can only be described as a unique product of a creative mind. A paper which describes a scientific study, for instance, is very different from a creative bit. But a research paper may have similarities to either type of record.
Academic researchers are often required to write research papers, and generally they have little if any experience in writing research papers. But research paper writers must take into consideration many different factors in order to produce a quality document. To begin with they need to properly define the aim of their research documents. Many research papers are written as a more private experience as opposed to a systematic review of previous studies. This means the paper has little if any connection to current studies and frequently presents an in-depth analysis of one study.
Because research papers are more private in nature, they generally require a higher level of attention to detail. Research papers are generally typed, and they ought to be. Inadequate typing and grammar stop the paper from being approved for publication in peer-reviewed books and from being exhibited in a research conference. Professional study documents, on the other hand, are written for a different audience and frequently are produced in technical journal publications with rigorous criteria for formatting. A student can anticipate a fantastic research paper to contain extensive use of standard spellings and grammar.
The focus of this research paper writer also offers a good deal to do with the quality of the completed product. A sms character counter newspaper about Shakespeare’s use of love poems would most likely fail, because students cannot interpret that sort of text. Students who are attempting to write about adultery would likewise find this difficult to understand. The papers must be carefully constructed and clearly stated, and has to produce the writer’s point of view clear to the reader.
One other important characteristic of research papers is that they must be well organized. They are to be used as reference substance, so the arrangement of this newspaper is extremely important. Reference information should be organized by topic in a logical manner. The introduction should be at the top of the page and described the study paper’s main function, while your system is divided into a relevant section, an addendum, a decision, and a source box. The conclusion should be considered the downer of this piece, but it should be the final word on the topic.
Finally, a good research paper author understands how to build interesting prose. Good writers know how to use all the most effective and proper words to present their own arguments. They should avoid writing in a typical way or presenting their arguments in a conventional format. Instead, they should exhibit their arguments in a clear and concise manner that will attract the reader and get them to read on. If a research paper is written in this manner, it will almost surely be accepted by the reader.


This volume is the result of a research project that drew together the thoughts of many others in a reference book assuming the role of dictionary to astrologers, but vastly more complete. It is the only place where all rulerships have been brought together and put in a good workable order. It is organized in such a way that one can use the book for quick and easy reference, and it eliminates the need to search through various other volumes.
In four parts: an alphabetical listing, a listing by planets. a listing by signs, a listing by houses. Plus an appendix with special listings: principal bones of the body, principal veins of the body, chart of an organization, flavors and handwriting forms.
Enthusiastically endorsed and used by professionals and students alike, no reference library is complete without it.

Jean Monnet Chair
An important component of the Jean Monnet DEFI Chair is research and publications. During the project of implementation, there will be several articles and papers published, which will be shared in this page.
DEFI Jean Monnet Chair has coordinated the number 131 of the journal CIDOB d’Afers Internacionals.
The journal is indexed in Scopus and its impact in Spain and America is significant, giving the work of the Chair the right platform to disseminate its work on digitalization.
The topic, proposed by DEFI staff, is on The digitalisation of the European Union: repercussions and expectations, from technology platforms and artificial intelligence to Fintech, cybersecurity, the gig economy and social networks, the digital society is already a fully defined and implemented reality. In this context, the digital development of the European Union (EU) has reached a crucial stage: from a range of perspectives the decisions and regulations adopted on this issue in the near future will significantly affect the whole of the EU, including the lives of its citizens and beyond. Issue 131 of Revista CIDOB d'Afers Internacionals analyses the process of digitalising the EU. Its multidisciplinary approach – taking in the fields of labour, security, information and politics, among others – helps understand the phenomenon, while also contributing to its scientific dissemination and encouraging critical thinking with the aim of achieving a fair, inclusive and competitive digital society.
The articles promoted by DEFI include:Tanel Kerikmäe and David Ramiro TroitiñoIntroduction.

Reading books can become one of the most magical moments of childhood. Many people have their favourite childhood book heroes or beloved fairy tales, also remembered in adult life with great sentiment.
The impact of book reading on a child’s development: why encourage children to read?
Reading develops vocabulary. This is not only the case with children, reading books can also have a positive impact on adult vocabulary. Of course, it is essential that children’s books are skillfully selected for children, which should be adapted to their childhood age.
Reading stimulates the imagination. The influence of reading on a child’s development is inseparable from the imagination and creativity of the young reader. When reading a book, a child does not get ready-made solutions, so his/her imagination must work at full speed.
Reading encourages thinking. Children’s reading is an excellent tool that has a chance, depending on the subject matter, to force the little reader to reflect.
Reading books is a good way to spend time with your parents. We live fast, often during the day trying to meet all our professional and family responsibilities. However, it is important to always make time for your children.
Reading is great fun. A properly matched book that draws the child into its world is a great way to combine fun with usefulness. Your child can have a good time in the company of interesting reading and the book will take care of his or her development on different levels.
Books can be a source of knowledge. If we want to broaden the child’s knowledge on a particular topic, we can give him or her a book on a suitable topic, making sure that it fits his or her age.
Books convey specific values. Books can be a great carrier of specific beliefs and values, so if you want to show your child, for example, how great the power of true friendship can be, it’s a good idea to reach for the right book to make it easier.
Children’s reading of books: choose well
We already know that reading books can have a very good effect on children. However, it is essential to choose the right book items, especially as the market today has many interesting proposals in this respect.
The age of a child. The most important factors that should have a decisive influence on the choice of appropriate reading is the age of the child. It is important for the content and level of vocabulary used in the booklet. The book should be sufficiently understandable for the child, so choose books dedicated to children in a specific age range.
The child’s interests. If you want to choose a book that will really attract your child’s attention. It’s worth making sure that the book matches his or her interests, although of course there’s nothing to stop him or her from trying to suggest a book that’s new to him or her, thus developing the child’s horizons.
Preferred form. When choosing a book for your child, think about the form it is likely to take: does your child love colourful books with lots of illustrations, or is content the most important thing for him or her, It’s worthwhile to observe what kind of books are most appealing to the child’s taste, so that later on it will be easier to choose the next book item.
Reading books can have a very big impact on a child’s development. Properly matched books not only broaden the vocabulary, but are also a perfect nourishment for the child’s imagination, encourage the child to focus on the text being read and to think actively, and at the same time can be a great way to spend free time.


As noted, WWE Hall Of Famer Pat Patterson will be releasing his new autobiography, “Accepted: How The First Gay Superstar Changed WWE,” in August.
The book, which is available for pre-sale at Amazon.com, will be released by ECW Press on August 9th in both hardcover and eBook formats.
Written by Patterson and co-authored by Bertrand Hebert, the foreword for “Accepted” is written by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
Below is the cover art and updated official synopsis for the book:
When Pat Patterson was 17 years old, his parents threw him out of the house after he told them he was in love . . . with a man. Cast off to the United States from Montreal in the 1960s, barely knowing a word of English, he set about a new life as a wrestler. Long before being gay was routinely accepted, Pat lived in the super-macho world of pro wrestling.
One of the most unlikely stories of a revolutionary talent, pioneer and creative savant, Patterson recalls the trials and tribulations as he climbed to the upper ranks of sports-entertainment as a performer and, later, as a backstage dignitary in this fascinating and revealing memoir. After making his mark in the ring as the prestigious first holder of WWE’s Intercontinental Championship, Pat set out to conquer the WWE world behind the curtain. He became the lead creative force behind the Royal Rumble Match and countless innovations that have shaped the way the WWE Universe has enjoyed sports-entertainment for generations.
Many WWE fans know Pat Patterson as a ring legend, WWE Hall of Famer, and one of Vince McMahon’s “stooges” during the Attitude Era. But Patterson is no stooge. He has long been one of Vince McMahon’s trusted advisors, his impact and importance to the nascent stages of WWE nearly comparable to the Chairman himself. Still active in WWE today, Pat delivers his no-holds barred story from unknown to WWE luminary.

A Life Well Lived
I found this photograph in a box of snapshots at a junk store near the corner of Doniphan and Artcraft in El Paso. I was drawn to it first by the strangely faded colors of the old print, as well as by the subject - an attractive, mature woman posed in front of a then-new '49 Mercury coupe. The photo had an over-all yellow tint; except for the bright finish on the car, the years had drained nearly all of the color from the rest of picture, including the figure and the background surroundings.
On the reverse side of the photo was a photo finisher's stamp:
KODACOLOR PRINT...Week of Dec. 19, 1949
Above the stamp, in a graceful hand, was an inscription revealing the place where the photograph was made, and the identity of the woman, Edwina Vogan. There is a slight disparity in the date assigned to the picture by the writer and the photo finisher's stamp. The affectionate rememberance and the date disparity suggests that the inscription was made after a considerable period of time past when the picture was snapped in front of the Mercury in Canutillo.
Since the picture was made locally, and given the rather unusual name, it seemed very likely that some additional information on the subject would not be hard to find. In fact, entering "Edwina Vogan" into the Google search engine quickly returned birth and death dates, along with the date and the place of burial:
Fort Bliss National Cemetery
Fort Bliss, El Paso County, Texas
Vogan, Edwina, b. 07/05/1911, d. 10/30/1988, US Army Air Corps, CPL, Res: Little Rock, AK, Plot: C 0 1851, bur. 11/02/1988
The very next entry was clearly her husband:
Vogan, Glenn A, b. 07/04/1910, d. 01/24/1981, US Army, TSGT, Res: El Paso, TX, Plot: C 0 1851, bur. 01/28/1981
A few screens further into the search results produced an obituary dated November 16, 1988; it was from the Winterset Madisonian, Winterset, Iowa.
So, Edwina Vogan had a long and productive life, including a career as an educator which was apparently what brought her to the El Paso area a half century ago. Her life spanned two World Wars and took her up to the beginning of the personal computer revolution. A decade past her death, the World Wide Web reassembled a portion of her family history and a link was enabled to a forgotten image from a sunny day long ago in Canutillo.


Researching for background information is necessary. This is especially so if it is an historical novel where visits to archives and rare book libraries are in order. We may now benefit from the Internet, but it cannot provide everything. It was one thing for me to research John Goodricke’s life online, but quite another to actually hold his original large leather-bound handwritten astronomical journal of nightly observations. Not a facsimile, the real thing. When you do something like that, you touch history. Such an experience alone can colour your writing.
Do not agonize over the usefulness of this or that archival material. Take it all. I could not know in advance what would be useful or what would not. I recall researching for Goodricke’s Time in the library of the Royal Astronomical Society and looking through a biography of William Herschel. It was in that volume that I unexpectedly came across a description of the incident where Herschel presented a paper to the Royal Society on the variability of Algol. This ‘presentation’, however, was not made at the Society, but in a pub at the behest of the Society’s president, Joseph Banks. Not being sure whether it would later be of any value, I photocopied it all. Later, it not only proved to be useful, but was a critical event in the unfolding of the narrative. It, like many other events depicted in the novel, happened. Why it did was another matter and that was where I was free to embellish.
None of the above is meant to deny the value of the internet. For example, in one chapter of Goodricke’s Time I wished to describe what it was like to take a ‘water taxi’ down the Thames. These were known, at the time, as tilt boats. What were they like? How were they powered? What was the fee? Was it at all dangerous? Information such as would take up only a few lines in a paragraph but would typically more time to source on the internet. It would be easy to completely fabricate information such as this and maybe you could get away with it. But in an historical novel, quite apart from building a plot, developing your characters etc., you must place the reader in an environment, in an atmosphere. Details combine to give the reader a sense of where they are. Once that has been established, it is easier for the dialogue to flow.
Be aware, however, that research can be seductive. It is a validating exercise – when you are doing it you are working on your novel! But, no, you are not. You are conducting research. There came a time when I could no longer deny that research had slipped into becoming the continual postponement, the continual avoidance, of the demanding and reclusive act of writing. Without over dramatizing, writing requires much more courage and self-confidence than does sifting through archival material in some historic library.. Know when it is time to stop research and face the keyboard.

Every year Jan Grieco puts on a reading series at Northern Maine Community College. She brings in writers to speak to her class and to share their own writing. Par of the curriculum of the class, a requirement, is to read in the library during April. Your own work. Which can be daunting at times for some young writer. But a great experience nonetheless. This year Jan invited Shonna Milliken Humphrey and Bruce Pratt.
Below are the photos of the 3 days of readings.
How do you top a stellar reader from the previous week? Invite sassy and quirky Melissa Crowe to spice up a poetry reading. The second reading of the series kicked off with five students reading their work, varying between fiction, non-fiction and poetry. After a brief introduction by instructor Jan Grieco, who had never met Crowe before the reading, Melissa enthusiastically engaged the crowd with humor, wit and tales of weird Uncles.
Crowe and the students then retired to Grieco’s classroom while to discuss the craft of writing. Melissa went through the steps in getting a poem published and engaged the students in conversation.
Next week Jen Blood will be making her first appearance at NMCC reading from her current hit novel All the Blue-Eyed Angels.
I didn’t get to go to UD this year, as I had other commitments (the writing series I just posted about). But, one of the things I’ve long loved about UMPI is that damn windmill. I love windmills (I am seriously going to plant one behind my house someday just so I can lay under it and stare at it). Fortunately, one night before class this spectacular sunset appeared and I hopped in my car so I could get a better view (and pictures).
It took me a few shots to get the shutter speed right, but the blur of the blades didn’t take away from the spectacular shots. Must love Maine sunsets!
It’s every writer’s dream to get published, see their words in print, make some money from their hard worked words, but part of that dream never includes reading in front of a crowd. Instructor Jan Grieco, however, makes is a part of her Creative Writing class each semester. “Writers need to share their work. It gives a writer confidence, a sense of being part of a bigger community, the understanding of the impact of writing,” says Grieco. Maine is lucky to have a wide range of talented writers, and Grieco has managed to entice many to her yearly reading series.
The reading series takes place on three consecutive Wednesdays, April 11, 18, and 25. The readings begin at noon and lasts about an hour. Students are first on the docket, reading the pieces that they have worked on over the course of the semester. For many it is the first time they have read in front of anyone, much less a crowd and published authors. The floor is then opened up to former students or anyone in the community that wants to share their own work, followed by the guest speaker, and this week’s reader was Morgan Callan Rogers. A native Mainer from Bath, she splits her time between Maine and South Dakota. Her debut novel Red Ruby Heart in a Cold Blue Sea, which is available via Amazon and more can be learned about her via her website http://www.morgancallanrogers.com .
After the readings, each guest speaker follows the class to their classroom and fields questions about the craft of writing, their novel, and their journey and offers critiques of the student’s reading.
In the following weeks, Melissa Crowe, a poet will be featured on April 18. Crowe is currently a Professor at University of Maine at Presque Isle.
The final week plays host to Jen Blood, a multi-faceted writer whose debut novel All The Blue-Eyed Angels is available via Amazon.


A Valley Journal (book)
A Valley Journal, Surviving Bereavement, by Abi May
I started working A Valley Journal while I journeyed through the initial valley of grief, seeking to survive. It is written in a way that I hope will be helpful to others.
It is based on a collection of original writings, inspirational reflections and poems, alongside quotations and scripture portions. It includes suggestions for putting your own thoughts and feelings into words, so that this book can become the basis of a personal reflective journal.
This book is not a step-by-step guide to surviving bereavement; it is based on my personal experiences as a bereaved mother, along with extensive reading. No journey through grief is identical, yet we can find comfort in discovering that what we are experiencing is not entirely unique.
A Valley Journal is endorsed by The Dove Service, a BACP accredited counselling service.
First published 2014 by Onwards and Upwards Publishers, Surrey.
A Valley Journal is available in paperback and hardcover from online retailers, and available on order from Waterstones, as well as other book shops.

The Woodbridge Public Library welcomes exhibits and displays in the branches that further the vision and mission of the Library. Exhibits should reflect the library’s role as an educational, cultural, and community institution. The Library recognizes its role in supporting Township talent and culture, and therefore extends its preference in scheduling exhibits and displays of Township schools, artists, community groups, and collectors.
Library use of display areas takes precedence over any other use and the Library reserves the right, without notice, to cancel the use of the display area by exhibits if the Director determines that the display space is needed for Library purposes.
The Library reserves the right to deny an organization’s or an individual’s request to exhibit either in part or as a whole. The Library facilities are public spaces which are used and viewed by community members of all ages, therefore exhibits need to be appropriate for general audiences.
No goods or services may be sold as part of an exhibit but artist contact information may be listed.
The presentation of any display or exhibit does not imply any endorsement of the content by the Woodbridge Public Library, its Trustees, or staff.
Agencies which have appropriate facilities are encouraged to exhibit items of interest to the public. The Agency Head should be consulted before the exhibit is arranged. This will allow maximum utilization of exhibits by other branches, cooperative publicity, and increased communication of ideas.
The person supplying the exhibit must provide an itemized list including the monetary value of the items before an exhibit is transported to a library. This information, plus the dates of the exhibition, is given to the Secretary to the Director for the purpose of insurance coverage.

I know the world feels quite different right now, but one of the things that is helping me stay sane with a toddler at home and no park time and no playdates is…books. We always read a lot of books over here and make our weekly Wednesday library trip, but now more than ever, Hudson and I both are dependent on the comfort and joy these repeated stories bring to our days.
With Easter right around the corner, I wanted to share some of the Easter books we are reading right now at home and some that we don’t currently have on our shelves, but want to! We actually are pretty stocked up on Easter books right now because I checked out a big haul of them from the library in early March, little did I know we wouldn’t be back to the library for a bit. If you don’t have a ton of Easter books, now is a good time to order a couple new favorites to add to your permanent collection! As I write about often, books make the perfect gift and any of these would work perfectly in an Easter basket.
Some of these books on this list are purely fun and the sole purpose of them is in the colorful eggs and the chocolate bunnies. I also did intentionally choose a few favorites that I personally think do a beautiful job delivering the true reason we celebrate Easter: He Is Risen!
1. Jesus Rose For Me by Jared Kennedy
This is the book we are putting in Hudson’s basket this year. This is a really nice board book with beautiful images. The thing I love most about this book is the amount of details that are included about Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection. Jesus Rose for Me is absolutely delivering the gospel, but doing it in such a way that little ears can better comprehend. I am all about delivering truth to our kids at a very young age and this book is a beautiful tool to use. It even includes Bible verses with each story, so this is a great way to incorporate scripture with your little ones. The book is a bit wordier for Hudson’s attention span currently, but I know it will be the perfect gospel-centric book that he will absolutely grow into within the next year.
2. God Gave Us Easter by Lisa Tawn Bergren
This was the book we put in his Easter basket last year! I LOVE the God Gave Us series of books. Again, the stories still are a bit longer for his attention span even now, but I know this will become a favorite. Through beautiful illustrations and the real curiosity of a little cub, papa cub through natural imagery explains where the true joy of Easter comes from.
Like so many of Bergren’s books, this book is a wonderful answer to how to teach kids that the cultural elements of these holidays (eggs, Easter bunny, gifts) are fun and good, but they should never overshadow the true meaning. Easter baskets and egg hunts point to only a small glimmer of the joy that is found in true relationship with Christ. This book helps reveal this truth and for that I am really thankful.
3. The Easter Egg by Jan Brett
I discovered this classic book at the library and I am slightly obsessed with the storyline. This is not a religious Easter book, but the story is heartwarming. It teaches little ones on the importance of small acts of kindness. The bunny, Hoppi is so concerned with making the most beautiful egg and is inspired by all the beautiful eggs his bunny neighbors are creating. While trying to figure out how he will decorate his own egg, he ends up helping Mother Robin keep her egg warm. This is how he spends his time and at the end only has the cracked and empty egg shell. Can you guess whose egg was chosen as the winner? Hoppi!
I love how well the storyline shows it is not always about the product we produce, but the intention of our hearts. Love this story, love the illustrations, love Jan Brett. We checked out the hardcover version, but Amazon also has a board book I linked to that is perfect for toddlers!
4. Happy Easter, Mouse! by Laura Numeroff
Each holiday, we collect another Mouse book because Hudson is such a fan. I will admit, the Easter one is not as good as the It’s Pumpkin Day, Mouse!, but it is still a good Easter one for toddlers. It is a very simple story, so probably best for 2-3 year-olds. We are currently working on our colors. This is a great book to practice naming each color of egg Mouse finds. This is an easy book to pair with a small activity or craft revolved around colors and eggs!
5. A Very Happy Easter Prayer by Bonnie Rickner Jensen
Now more than ever, we need to count our blessings and thank God for the gifts of flowers budding and new life being created. Hudson and I read this book before his nap and it brought me a lot of peace. The words are simple. The illustrations are full of colorful flowers and cute bunnies. During these weird and anxious times, my heart settled as I read these simple words thanking God for all the simple blessings.
6. Happy Easter, Country Bunny by DuBose Heyward
The Country Bunny was my favorite Easter book as a young girl. I can still remember how I felt when my mom would read it to us. I loved it then, and now connect to it on an even deeper level. It is such a timely and relatable story for the modern woman. It is a beautiful picture of balancing motherhood with the dreams of your heart. Mother Cottontail continues to inspire me, and it is the perfect story to share with our little ones to inspire them. I would put the original story here, but since this list is geared towards toddlers, this board book is the better option for toddler-aged kiddos.
7. The Great Easter Race
This is a fun book with all the Sesame Street character partaking in a race on Easter morning. The bunny that joins the race leaves baskets full of each character’s favorite things and in the end, the slow turtle wins the race. The illustrations are colorful with all the recognizable Sesame Street friends. The story also contains more substance than typical stories geared towards toddlers, which I appreciate! If you have a Sesame Street lover, this is a fun book to read together this Easter season.
8. An Easter Egg Hunt for Jesus by Susan Jones
This is a sweet story full of cute forest animals and a valuable lesson that Easter is much more than just an Easter egg hunt. It is about Jesus. Through beautiful illustrations and a sweet storyline, Jones delivers the important message that this time of year is a celebration for Jesus!
The Hope of Easter
Again, I know there are much bigger world issues going on right now, and Easter books are likely not on the top of your list. I get that, but in these uncertain and uneasy time, I am finding a lot of comfort in reading books with H and looking ahead to the hope of Easter (even though it is likely to look quite different this year). These books I selected are the perfect stories to read to our little ones this year to point them to the fact that Easter is not dependent on Easter egg hunts and baskets full of chocolate bunnies. Those are fun, but Easter is much more. As papa polar bear puts it in God Gave Us Easter:
“On Easter, we remember we get to be with Jesus forever.”
And that alone is reason to celebrate.
So, let’s read more books, pray more, and cling more than ever to the hope and promise we know for certain will come Easter morning. In all this uncertainty, the sure promise of Jesus is pulling me through.
Happy reading, friends.


My taxi driver asked me what books he should read to learn how to program computers. I wrote down a long list and gave it to him while talking about each book; it occurred to me that I should put something like it into a web page for other people to use.
Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll, of course, occupies the place of honor at the head of the procession. Alan Perlis said, ``The best book on programming for the layman is Alice in Wonderland, but that's just because it's the best book on anything for the layman.'' This book is available cheaply in lots of places, including for free from Project Gutenberg <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext97/alice30h.htm> or <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext91/alice30.txt>; see also <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext91/lglass18.txt>. It introduces the reader to many mathematical concepts that are central to programming, as well as a peculiar mindset. Folks who read Essentials of Programming Languages (see below) will find that the lengthy discussion therein about the distinction between the name of a variable, the binding of a variable, and the value of its binding is echoed by the White Knight's musing about his poem's name, for example.
Martin Gardner's The Annotated Alice <http://isbn.nu/0393048470> is an extensively explained version of the above book, including explanations of the mathematics and various vaguely related things.
Douglas R. Hofstadter's Gödel, Escher, Bach <http://isbn.nu/0465026567> is more closely related to computer programming. It explains, first by example and metaphor, then explicitly, and finally concretely with exercises, a variety of concepts central to understanding computers: self-reference and self-reproduction, recursion, computability, mathematical logic, paradox, Lewis Carroll, infinite regress, the necessity of imperative logic, isomorphisms between systems (particularly formal systems and the real world, and the significance of imperfect isomorphisms), the form-content dichotomy, the figure-ground dichotomy, Gödel's incompleteness theorem, encoding and decoding, the location of meaning, semantics-preserving transformations, Zen, wholism versus reductionism, the use-mention dichotomy, the Church-Turing Thesis, and finally, free will and consciousness.
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs <http://isbn.nu/0262011530> or <http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/> (also, full text on the web at <http://sicp.arsdigita.org/>), by Harold Abelson, Gerald Jay Sussman, and Julie Sussman, changed the way I thought about programming forever. It cuts through all the dross and garbage of libraries, syntax, and clever algorithms to discuss the central issues of writing programs: controlling complexity, dealing with time, and different strategies for doing each of these: applicative-order functional programming, stateful objects, constraint-propagation networks, multithreaded programs, lazy evaluation, and nondeterministic search (including logic programming languages). Among other things, and in no particular order, this book covers the (abstract, but sufficiently concrete to be executable) design of a CPU, an interpreter, a compiler for the CPU, recursion, higher-order functions, abstract interfaces as a modularity technique (and thus polymorphic abstract data types), performance, symbolic computation, synchronization for multithreaded programs, and garbage collection.
More to the point, it teaches how to break problems into pieces in a very pragmatic and non-doctrinaire way. This book is an excellent antidote to much of the rigid doctrine that passes for ``computer science'' in many schools, particularly the more vocationally-oriented.
Before I read this book, I thought that being a good programmer meant having lots of clever algorithms in your bag. The book explains a couple of clever algorithms, and explains when and why it's important to use the right one, but puts them in a much larger context.
Peter Norvig <http://www.norvig.com/> writes, on amazon.com:
Those who hate SICP think it doesn't deliver enough tips and tricks for the amount of time it takes to read. But if you're like me, you're not looking for one more trick, rather you're looking for a way of synthesizing what you already know, and building a rich framework onto which you can add new learning over a career. That's what SICP has done for me. I read a draft version of the book around 1982 and it changed the way I think about my profession. If you're a thoughtful computer scientist (or want to be one), it will change your life too.
If you're going to do this book, which is likely to take 400-800 hours, you should have a Scheme interpreter. I recommend DrScheme <http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/PLT/packages/drscheme/>.
(Counterpoint: another reviewer on amazon.com writes:
This text is a half-baked attempt at algroithms and data structures, and of course, since it's tailored to scheme, I never found much use for these concepts later. In fact, once you start programming in a real language like C, you'll have to relearn all the concepts and see how they really work in the proper programming setting. On top of that, the writers make absolutely no attempt to be clear.
It does seem that beginning programmers can't really appreciate SICP on the first reading; when they reread it as expert programmers, they almost universally say it's the best book they've ever read. Accordingly, the Amazon reviews are split roughly half and half between one star and five stars.
Friedman and Wand's Essentials of Programming Languages <http://isbn.nu/0262061457> <http://www.cs.indiana.edu/eip/eopl.html> explores, in detail, different aspects of programming languages --- with runnable interpreters including each feature discussed. It discusses, among other things, the lambda calculus, normal versus applicative order, different kinds of type systems (persuasively making the case that the most important differences between languages are in their type systems), different kinds of parameter passing, various features of syntax, different kinds of memory management, different kinds of scoping and package systems, different kinds of coercion and polymorphism, how to compile using continuations, etc. Jeff Bone recommended this book to me, for which I am eternally indebted to him. Unfortunately, my copy is on loan to my friend Joe, and so this entry must remain incomplete.
This book also benefits from having a Scheme interpreter handy.
Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming <http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/taocp.html> covers the low-level aspects of programming in exhaustive detail --- the numerous clever algorithms for computing one function or another, the low-level ways things are implemented, etc. --- that books like SICP take for granted or cover shallowly. Volume 1 <http://isbn.nu/0201896834> is on fundamental algorithms --- basic data structures. Volume 2 <http://isbn.nu/0201896842> is on ``seminumerical algorithms'' --- that is, methods for numerical computation. Volume 3 <http://isbn.nu/0201896850> is on sorting and searching. All of the programs are in assembly language for a fictitious computer called MIX, which looks rather archaic these days (with its complex addressing modes, non-recursive function calls, and word-oriented memory), although they are being converted to a new RISC machine called MMIX for the next edition.
Although Knuth has been working on TAOCP for 35 years (with a short 11-year break in the middle to revolutionize computerized typesetting), volumes 4 through 7 are still incomplete.
In a fundamental way, Knuth's work has created a science of algorithms; that is what these books cover. They won't teach you powerful ways of structuring your programs to make them simpler. They won't give you new insights about the epistemological significance of computer programming. If you have a good standard library, most of the most important algorithms discussed in TAOCP are already at your fingertips. Nevertheless, if you want to understand what's going on at the level of the metal, you need to study these books.
Robert Sedgewick's Algorithms books --- Algorithms <http://isbn.nu/0201066734> (out of print), Algorithms in Modula-3 (out of print) <http://isbn.nu/0201533510>, Algorithms in C <http://isbn.nu/0201314525>, and Algorithms in C++ <http://isbn.nu/0201350882> --- cover much of the most important material in TAOCP, plus a variety of related things. Algorithms in C was the book that taught me there was more to knowing how to program than having the library reference manual memorized. It also has the advantage of having delightfully simple, readable, and runnable code examples in C; the other books are in C++ and Pascal. They all cover more or less the same material.
Steve McConnell's Code Complete <http://isbn.nu/1556154844> <http://www.construx.com/stevemcc/cc.htm> is very concrete and practical; it covers things like how to find bugs in your programs, how to optimize them, how to choose names for your variables, why you should indent your code, how to unit-test your code, how to choose control and data structures, when to break a big routine into smaller ones and vice versa, and all manner of practical stuff. This is another book that changed the way I thought about programming.
It doesn't contain runnable code samples, because the book is not about what code does. It's about what a person writing code does and how they can do it better.
Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike's The Practice of Programming <http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/tpop/> <http://isbn.nu/020161586X> is similar to Code Complete, but is much shorter and more humble and professional; and it comes from folks with impeccable credentials. They discuss, among other things, how to optimize, when to optimize, how to choose your implementation language, how to choose names for your variables, how and why to write portable code, and notation.
There's a place for a book that explains how to find and fix common problems that totally stymie beginners --- things like incompatible header files, missing libraries, broken or missing Makefiles, mismatched braces, uninitialized variables, and memory faults. I haven't seen one; Code Complete comes closest, but it's a long way from what I'm talking about.
Robert M. Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance <http://isbn.nu/0553277472> is a long and insightful exposition on the nature of human experience, the experience of creation, and the oneness with one's experience that characterizes excellent work.
Lots of people seem to like Design Patterns <http://www.hillside.net/patterns/DPBook/DPBook.html> <http://isbn.nu/0201633612>, by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides (the Gang of Four). I haven't read it, so I don't know.
Peter Norvig's Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming, <http://isbn.nu/1558601910>, <http://www.norvig.com/paip.html>, sounds interesting. I haven't read it either.
Leo Brodie's Thinking FORTH was out of print for a long time, but FIG published a second edition in 1994: <http://isbn.nu/0935533001>. It is a really excellent book; it covers different aspects of problem-solving and software design and implementation, specifically in FORTH, but the principles taught are not by any means restricted to FORTH.
Edward Tufte's Visual Display of Quantitative Information <http://isbn.nu/096139210X> is a classic, and relevant to computer programming for several reasons: first, because computer programming sometimes involves analyzing quantitative data, and much of the book is about doing that more effectively; second, because many computer programs are visible, and their visible faces need to be designed according to the principles in this book; and third, because the concepts of respect for the reader, simplicity of design, avoidance of needless distractions, and so forth are applicable much more broadly than the visual design context in which this book presents them so beautifully and persuasively.
Along similar lines, you should read Strunk and White's The Elements of Style: <http://isbn.nu/020530902X>
If you're going to program, you're probably going to do it in some language, and it probably won't be Scheme; this means you will need a good book on that language. I'm afraid I don't know what books to recommend; although I know a few programming languages, I tend to learn new languages from their reference manuals, and therefore don't have the opportunity to evaluate other books on them.
Generic tip: books from IDG, SAMS, Ziff-Davis, Sybex, Que, and similar publishers --- the six-inch-thick Teach Yourself to be an Unleashed Dummy in 21 minutes line especially --- tend to be crap. Written by unqualified authors, full of errors and typos, often including multi-page segments of text copied from somewhere else and not written by the supposed author at all, hurriedly produced, shoddily bound, bulked up with extra-thick paper, gratuitous screenshots, and gratuitous code samples, simply in order to occupy more shelf space and attract attention with their fluorescent colors, these poorly-organized travesties screw their buyers, then go out of date in months. There are occasional exceptions. See Philip Greenspun's ``The Book Behind The Book Behind The Book'' for details on how this happens.
Books from New Riders, Wrox, and McGraw-Hill, and especially O'Reilly, Prentice Hall, MIT Press, Morgan Kauffman, and Addison Wesley (now Addison Wesley Longman) are produced in a structurally different environment that tends to produce books of acceptable or good quality. This is true of the Microsoft Press books I've seen, too.

I have not finished this book yet, but very tempted to finish it.
At the request in Allahabad of the Great Preceptor Mahavatar Babaji near the end of the th year  of the present Dwapara Yuga, this exposition has been published for the benefit of the world. Situated as it is on the beach of the world, storms and buffets touch the holy science yukteswar not; the sadhus ascetics with a message for the benefit of humanity find a Kumbha Mela to be an ideal place to impart instruction to those who can heed it.
Placing the holy texts on the spotless table of his mind, yuktessar was able to dissect them with the scalpel of intuitive reasoning, and to separate interpolations and wrong the holy science yukteswar of scholars from the truths as originally given by the prophets.

But to attain this, knowledge of the external world is necessary. The parts by Yukteswar were good, but the translations weren’t as good as I’d hoped. Jul 20, Tilak Dey Sarkar the holy science yukteswar it it was amazing. This tells you the essence of time and that all religions lead one to the ultimate reality. So a place there must be where union between the two sets is possible. The purpose of this book is to show as clearly as possible that there is an essential unity in all religions; that there is no difference in the truths inculcated by the various faiths; that there is but one method the holy science yukteswar which the world, both external and internal, has evolved; and that there is but one Goal admitted by all scriptures.
One of the first that the holy science yukteswar science and spirituality, and points out how all religions are at their core the same, and how ridiculous it is for people to let their individual dogmas separate them. The ensuing effect is the idea of particles— the innumerable atoms, pair a or anu. That’s the way it is in this world.
