  For eight centuries, the Texas frontier has seen conquest, exploration, immigration, revolution, and innovation, leaving to history a cast of fascinating characters and captivating tales. Its historic period began in 1519 with Spanish exploration, but there was a prehistory long before, nearly fifteen thousand years earlier, with the arrival of people to Texas. Each story pulls a new perspective from this long history by examining nearly all angles—from archaeology to ethnography, astronomy, agriculture, and more. These true stories prove to be unexpected, sometimes contrarian and occasionally funny, but always fascinating. Join author and historian C. Herndon Williams as he recounts his exploration of nearly a millennium of the Texas frontier.

  ""A gathering of gorgeous short pieces"" (Library Journal), Blue Pastures collects fifteen of Pulitzer Prize– and National Book Award–winning poet Mary Oliver's prose works about nature, writing, and herself. 
  ""This transcendent collection is Oliver's joyful sharing of her love of her craft.""—Library Journal 
  With consummate craftsmanship, Mary Oliver has fashioned fifteen luminous prose pieces: on nature, writing, and herself and those around her. She praises Whitman, denounces cuteness, notes where to find the extraordinary, and extols solitude. Nature speaks to her and she speaks to nature. 
  ""This book is biased, opinionated; also it is also joyful, and probably there is despair here too...But the reader will find the pleasures more certain, and more constant, than the rills of despond. Thus it has turned out in my life thus far, influenced by the sustaining passions: love of the wild world, love of literature, love for and from another person."" –Mary Oliver

  Poems from my Heart

  Miriam Kam Weisbrod, Sheila...

  She was ninety-five when she finally told her story. 
  Miriam Kam Weisbrod lived a life most people only read about — she sailed to Panama in 1941 to marry a soldier, found her honeymoon interrupted by the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and went on to call Japan, France, Italy, and Germany home before she ever picked up a pen. It wasn't until she lost her husband in 1980 that she began writing — and it wasn't until decades later, at ninety-five years old, that she finally gathered a lifetime of memory into verse. 
  Poems From My Heart is that lifetime, told poem by poem. Beginning in a cradle painted white and ending in quiet reflections on faith and mortality, Miriam's poetry moves through childhood in Depression-era Brooklyn, the ache of wartime love, the noisy joy of raising four children, and the slow, tender business of growing old. Along the way there's humor too — a poem scolding Mother Nature herself, a stubborn beard that comes between two lovers, a bottle of castor oil that no child of the 1920s could escape. 
  Each poem is paired with simple black-and-white illustrations, and the collection closes with a genuine piece of history: a 1941 newspaper clipping of Miriam herself, smiling and waving as she boards the ship that would carry her toward the rest of her life. 
  This isn't poetry written from craft or ambition. It's poetry written from memory — plainspoken, unpolished, and completely honest, the kind that only comes from someone who has truly lived what she's writing about. If you've ever wanted to hand someone you love a piece of your own history, or if you simply believe that ordinary lives deserve to be told extraordinarily, Poems From My Heart is a book worth making room for on your shelf.

  The Present Professor -...

  Elizabeth A. Norell

  In a world where stress is unavoidable—where political turmoil, pandemic fallout, and personal challenges touch everyone—this book offers guidance for cutting through the emotional static that can hold teachers back. A specialist in pedagogical strategies with extensive classroom experience, Elizabeth A. Norell explains how an educator's presence, or authenticity, can be critical to creating transformational spaces for students. And presence, she argues, means uncovering and understanding one's own internal struggles and buried insecurities—stresses often left unconfronted in an academic culture that values knowing over feeling. Presenting the research on how and why such inner work unlocks transformational learning, The Present Professor equips educators with the tools for crafting a more authentic presence in their teaching work. 
   
   
   
  At a time of crisis in higher education, as teachers struggle to find new ways to relate to, think about, and instruct students, this book holds a key. Implementing more inclusive pedagogies, Norell suggests, requires sorting out our own identities. In short, if we want to create spaces where students have the confidence, comfort, and psychological safety to learn and grow, we have to create spaces where we do, too. The Present Professor is dedicated to that proposition, and to helping educators build that transformational space.
