Antonio Morelli's Journey to Las Vegas
Through a partnership with the Junior League of Las Vegas, the Online Nevada Encyclopedia is pleased to present an exhibit showcasing the life and home of Antonio R. Morelli. The exhibit uses images from the Morelli Collection (soon to be housed at UNLV Special Collections), and from photographers Alan Sandquist, Rex Windom, and Richard Hooker.
In addition, Alan Hess, champion of Mid-Century Modern architecture, preservationist, writer, and architect, composed the essay that accompanies the images. Hess has written over fifteen books in his series on the subject of Mid-Century Modern architecture and has been instrumental in qualifying a number of structures for the National Register of Historic Places.

Synthesizing the relevant research and good practice literature, the authors present detailed procedures for thirty collaborative learning techniques (CoLTs) and offer practical suggestions on a wide range of topics, including how to form groups, assign roles, build team spirit, solve problems, and evaluate and grade student participation.
The third, concluding volume of "Literature of Java" contains Addenda and a General Index, preceded by Illustrations, Facsimiles of Manuscripts, Maps and some Minor Notes, additions which may be of U'se to students of Javanese literature. The older catalogues of collections of Indonesian manuscripts (Javanese, Malay, Sundanese, Madurese, Balinese), which were written in Dutch, did not offer such additional aids to interested readers. One of the reasons was. , that the authors (Vreede, Brandes, van Ronkel, Juynboll, Berg) presupposed a certain knowledge of the Indones,ian peoples, their countries and their culture with Dutch students. As often as not the latter, or their families, had lived f...
In this exhilarating culinary novel, a woman's road trip through Indonesia becomes a discovery of friendship, self, and other rare delicacies. Aruna is an epidemiologist dedicated to food and avian politics. One is heaven, the other earth. The two passions blend in unexpected ways when Aruna is asked to research a handful of isolated bird flu cases reported across Indonesia. While it's put a crimp in her aunt's West Java farm, and made her own confit de canard highly questionable, the investigation does provide an irresistible opportunity. It's the perfect excuse to get away from corrupt and corrosive Jakarta and explore the spices of the far-flung regions of the islands with her three friends: a celebrity chef, a globe-trotting "foodist," and her coworker Farish. From Medan to Surabaya, Palembang to Pontianak, Aruna and her friends have their fill of local cuisine. With every delicious dish, she discovers there's so much more to food, politics, and friendship. Now, this liberating new perspective on her country--and on her life--will push her to pursue the things she's only dreamed of doing.
You may know what your environmental compliance obligations are, but do you know how EPA sees them? Created by the EPA, this industry-specific handbook includes a comprehensive environmental profile, industrial process information, pollution prevention techniques, pollutant release data, and regulatory requirements unique to the textiles industry. Use the information presented in this book to build a foundation for developing holistic solutions to environmental problems, research the textiles industry and its environmental regulations, understand compliance issues, develop industry-specific training sessions/programs, or create and improve innovative pollution-prevention programs that would make any EPA inspector smile.
In this new edition of The World is Flat, Thomas L. Friedmanincludes fresh stories and insights to help us understand the flattening of the world. Weaving new information into his overall thesis, and answering the questions he has been most frequently asked by parents and readers, this third edition also includes two new chapters -- on how to be a political activist and social entrepreneur in a flat world; and on the more troubling question of how to manage our reputations and privacy in a world where we are all becoming publishers and public figures. The World is Flat 3.0is an essential update on globalization, its opportunities for individual empowerment, its achievements at lifting millions out of poverty, and its drawbacks -- environmental, social, and political, powerfully illuminated by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Lexus and the Olive Tree.
These essays, theoretical as well as empirical, study the relationships between technology, growth, international competitiveness and employment. They also discuss the role of multinationals as vehicles for technology diffusion.
The Flivver King stands among the finest of modern American historical novels. It is history as it ought to be written - from the bottom up and the top down, with monumental sensitivity to the compromise and conflict between the two extremes. Its two stories - those of Henry Ford and Ford-worker Abner Shutt, unfold side by side, indeed dialectically. They are, in the end, one story: the saga of class and culture in 'Ford-America'. Workers and bosses, flappers and Klansmen, war and depression, Prohibition outlaws and high-society parties, unions and anti-union gun thugs - few aspects of American life in the first four decades of the last century are missing from this small masterpiece. The Fl...

Each month, American Express Essentials highlights one definitive literary work, old or new, and across any and all genres. The only determinant is quality: a book that makes life more vivid, more inspiring – a gifted piece of work you want to share. An absolute must-read.
Up this month is a thought-provoking, conversation-starting travelogue: Eric Weiner’s The Geography of Bliss.
In The Geography of Bliss: One Grump’s Search for the Happiest Places in the World, Eric Weiner, writer, journalist and former foreign correspondent for the National Public Radio, sweeps readers up in a journey infused with wit, insight and a healthy dose of sarcasm. Undertaking a year-long expedition, Weiner sets out to uncover the intricacies and reasonings behind the so-called “happiest places on Earth”. His mission takes him from the serene Alpine enclaves of Switzerland to the shining cities of Qatar and the mystical mountains of Bhutan – as well as every sort of place in-between – as he explores the essence of joy and general life contentment in each location.
As the reader follows his odyssey, they’re invited not just to tag along, but also to uncover the layers of cultural nuance, psychological insight and philosophical pondering that Weiner weaves throughout his witty observations. Armed with a dry sense of humour – expect to be laughing out loud – and a keen journalistic eye, Weiner navigates the ins and outs of happiness with both scepticism and curiosity, challenging conventional notions and universally acknowledged “truths” while ultimately offering readers a reflection on the extremely elusive nature of real human happiness.
In Weiner’s exploration, he confronts his subject with a healthy dose of scepticism, urging readers to reconsider conventional notions of what does or doesn’t make a person happy. As he traverses the landscapes of the different so-called “happy” nations, Weiner poses tough questions about the nature of happiness. Are the Swiss truly happy, or are they merely content with the stability and prosperity of their first-world nation? Does happiness equate to joy, and if so, can we deem the Swiss happy despite their seeming boredom and famous rigidity? Similarly, in Bhutan, is happiness a direct result of the nation’s deeply rooted spirituality, or is it a reflection of a well-balanced (and rather small) society?
Could money be at play? Weiner challenges the notion that wealth equates to happiness, questioning whether the fabulously rich Qataris have truly discovered the secret to fulfilment, especially when wealth often proves divisive and elicits jealousy.
Is it something else, then? If there’s one takeaway from this book, it is for the reader to reconsider their preconceptions about happiness, recognising that the subject is far more complex and multifaceted than commonly perceived.
Weiner’s exploration will leave readers with more questions than answers, and that’s perhaps a testament to the intricacies of the human psyche. While his journey does not reveal a simple magic key to happiness, it serves as a reminder that the truth is often subtle and complicated. The book challenges readers to seek understanding beyond surface-level assumptions and to embrace the inherent complexity of the pursuit of happiness.
Indeed, there are few absolute truths presented here, except perhaps for one: people are happier when in community. Happiness is only real when it’s shared, Weiner suggests – it doesn’t exist in a vacuum. As he writes “happiness is one hundred percent relational”.
What’s more, The Geography of Bliss not only serves as an exploration of happiness, but also doubles as an incredibly captivating travelogue. Weiner acts as a knowledgeable tour guide, leading readers on a fascinating journey across the globe. Despite his self-described “grumpy” persona (just ignore him on this, he’s not that bad), Weiner displays a genuine curiosity about people and their cultures, weaving personal anecdotes with insightful observations and research findings about societal differences.
Through his lens, readers are treated to a deeply personal exploration of each destination, one likely to satisfy the wanderlust of even the most adventurous souls. Weiner’s ability to delve into the cultural fabric of each location presented within the pages of his work adds richness to the narrative, making this not just a book about happiness, but also a delightful journey for curious armchair explorers.
That being said, the most fitting approach to this book is epitomised by a conversation Weiner has with Karma Ura during his visit to Bhutan: “I have achieved happiness,” says Ura, “because I don’t have unrealistic expectations”. Do not approach this book anticipating a philosophical treatise or life-altering literature. Keep your expectations modest and your sense of wonder keen, and you’ll find yourself pleasantly engaged.
If some soul-searching is in order, don’t skip Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning and Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations – both great starter books for those in search of insights into the human condition. And if you’re game for a true challenge, try your hand at reading Hannah Arendt’s aptly titled The Human Condition, a philosophical treatise on, well, just that.

A Handbook of Content Area Reading Strategies
ABSTRACT A HANDBOOK OF CONTENT AREA READING STRATEGIES by © Heather Robyn Azevedo 2009 Master of Arts in Education Reading/Language Arts Option California State University, Chico Summer 2009 This project is designed to help content area teachers assist the students in their class that are currently two to four grade levels behind in reading and build sufficient literacy skills to be able to succeed in those classes. The project contains an annotated bibliography identifying resources in content area literacy, and strategies suggested by research to decrease the overall reading gap between student’s current level of reading performance and the reading requirements of content area classes. The review of the literature provides a rationale for the development of a competent content area literacy program. In Chapter II the literature describes the reading process and how teaching reading differs throughout grade levels and Chapter III examines reading strategies and how they can be applied within the content areas. In x addition, it provides further reviews of methods for teaching content reading skills that recent research recommends. This project was created based on the information obtained from the literature review, and the data collected which provided evidence of those students who are currently reading two to four grades levels below the reading level expectations for their content area classes. The literature, data, and collaboration with content area teachers indicated that there was a need for additional reading support within the content areas. In order to assist these students, this handbook is intended to be used to assist teachers and other staff, which provides students with strategies that are easily and readily applied to their content area reading requirements. The handbook is divided into three sections: an annotated bibliography, a description of reading/thinking skills, and nine universal strategies for assisting students with their content areas reading requirements. The research portion of the handbook is an annotated bibliography meant to serve as additional reference for the teacher who may want to further explore content reading strategies beyond those provided in the handbook associated with this project. The reading/thinking section of the handbook is designed to illustrate the skills that students need to use before, during, after and beyond reading as well as explaining the importance of this process and how these skills make students more conscious of their reading. The final section includes nine universal strategies that can be used within the content areas. A brief background of each strategy will be given, along with the purpose of the strategy. This segment will then be followed with examples of how the strategy can be used within each content area. xi Recommendations for further development of this handbook include continued review of current literature, maintaining suggested strategies and diagnostic information throughout each school year in order to be assured that student needs are being addressed. It is also suggested that primary and elementary teachers who have students reading below grade level, and who need to develop content reading skills, refer to the handbook for some additional support and strategies.


“Our nation wants more than just material wealth.…We in America have an appetite for excellence too. While we work every day to produce new goods and to create new wealth, we want most of all to enrich man’s spirit.”
With those words, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Public Broadcasting Act on Nov. 7, 1967, ensuring a flow of programming that continues to this day. With some funding from the government in place and donations filling in the bulk of their budgets, local public stations began creating.
Bigger organizations like National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service found deeper private pockets to fund innovative programming that could not be produced on the local level. The original concept of the Public Broadcasting Act was to encourage these new broadcasters to fill a niche that commercial mass-appeal media could not, and that is what happened.
Alan Gevinson and Karen Cariani
The American Archive of Public Broadcasting is a nonprofit collaboration among the Library of Congress, Boston’s WGBH Educational Foundation and about 120 public radio and TV stations. AAPB’s goal is to search the shelves of broadcasters and private collectors for public radio and TV programs of significance from the past, and with several grants in hand, digitize these pieces of American history to make them available to scholars and other interested parties. In this manner, these valuable performances, newscasts, interviews and documentaries can be preserved for future generations.
To learn more, Radio World spoke with Karen Cariani, director of AAPB and the WGBH media library; Casey Davis, project manager of AAPB at WGBH; and Alan Gevinson from the Library of Congress, who serves as that organization’s project director for AAPB.
Radio World: What was the genesis of AAPB?
Gevinson: In 2007, public broadcasting organizations convinced Congress to allow some funds that had been allocated for the digital conversion of stations to be used to digitally preserve materials sitting unused on shelves in stations representing hundreds of communities across the nation. Congress agreed that this archive of material is a valuable asset to the public and to historians.

Photo courtesy of Abby Brack LewisCariani: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting funded 120 stations to participate in a content inventory project managed by WGBH. Stations applied for funds to conduct this work themselves or to hire approved teams to do it. Part of the issue with recorded media compared to books is that with the former, you can’t always tell what the content is just by looking at it. Stations found they had saved all kinds of videotape formats over the years including 2-inch, 1-inch, 3/4-inch, .5-inch and helical scan. Audio was found on 1/4-inch tapes and DATs. We had to play a lot of it to figure out what it is, and there may be only one playback possible with some of these tapes.
Davis: Part of the inventory process also involved looking at reels of tape and writing information about each item down, often in a PBCore-compliant CSV or Filemaker template. Information included a unique identifier, title, format, duration, description, generation, date, condition notes, etc. We found a station in Utah that had material from 1955, and here at WGBH, we uncovered an audio disk from 1949, both of which predate the current structure of public broadcasting established in 1967.
RW: What are your standards for the digitized material, and where will you store it?
Davis: For audio we recommend a 96/24 uncompressed linear PCM in a Broadcast Wave Format (.wav). We will make our detailed technical requirements available to people who are interested. Up to this point, we have worked with a single vendor on the digitization of AAPB content, and as we continue to grow the collection, we imagine that we will receive some items that have already been digitized or were born as digital files.
Gevinson: The preservation files will reside in the Library of Congress Packard Campus Digital Archive at the National Audio Visual Conservation Center in Culpepper, Va. Everything will be migrated at least once every five years in perpetuity, and proxy files will be kept at the Library of Congress and at WGBH.
Karen Cariani The AAPB project team, in collaboration with several other parties, is implementing a strategy to make as much of the collection available in our Online Reading Room (launching in October 2015) as possible. The Online Reading Room will be virtual, providing viewing/listening access to potentially thousands of items in the collection and is restricted to research, educational and informational purposes. It will be presented under fair use and other legal doctrines. The entire AAPB collection is available for research on location at WGBH and at the Library of Congress. We want to collaborate with educators and scholars to see how we can best meet their needs, and how to get this material used as broadly as possible.
RW: Sounds like a big project! How are you coming with it?
Cariani: The amount we have digitized so far is about 40,000 hours, or 68,000 items, just a drop in the bucket compared to what is available. We want to grow this collection as we serve as stewards for public broadcasting. Civilization’s cultural and social heritage was documented on paper and in photographs for many years. Unfortunately, video and audio are prone to deterioration much more quickly than those media, so think of the history that will be lost if we can’t migrate this material.
RW: From where do you get your funding?
Cariani: AAPB received $1 million grant from CPB, money designated to cover two years of management of the digitization process and to launch a website where some of the archived material will be available. One grant was also received from the Council on Library Information Resources and another from The Institute of Museum and Library Services, but AAPB still needs more funds to continue the work.
RW: Is this effort related to the Library of Congress National Recording Preservation Plan?
Casey: None of the work to date has been related to the Preservation Plan or task force, although we are now talking to them about collaborating on potential joint projects.

Hitler's Vienna: A Dictator's Apprenticeship (Hardcover)
This item is backordered and not currently available. Please contact us for an estimated availability date.
Already a critically acclaimed bestseller in Germany and in Austria, Hitler's Vienna explores the critical, formative years which Hitler spent in Vienna, painting a fascinating portrait of the development of his ideas and career against the social, cultural, and political climate of the capitol of the Hapsburg Empire.
Hitler's Vienna was not the artistic and intellectual center normally associated with Sigmund Freud, Gustav Mahler, Arthur Schnitzler, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Instead, it was a cauldron of fear and indignation, a city teeming with the "little people" who rejected Viennese modernity as too international, too "Jewish," and too libertine. Indeed, Hitler's Vienna was a breeding ground for obscure political theories, usually propagated by disadvantaged men living together in hostels. To them, being "better" in this multinational city meant belonging to the "noble German people." Brigitte Hamann compellingly depicts the undercurrent of disturbing social and political ideologies that permeated this city of civil unrest. Drawing on previously untapped resources, she gives us the fullest account ever rendered of the young fuhrer.
Hitler's Vienna reveals the vital connection between Hitler's indoctrination into the devastating racial politics that swept Germany's multinational state and the hotbed of nationalistic activity that was Vienna in the early 20th century. It is a profoundly important addition to present Hitler scholarship.
About the Author
Brigitte Hamann is a Ph.D. and specialist in 19th and 20th-century history, specifically of Austrian history. She is the author of many books in German, some of which have been translated into English, including The Reluctant Empress: A Biography of Empress Elisabeth of Austria and Bertha von Suttner. A Life for Peace.


"The essays in this book present a sustained economic, historical, moral, and legal broadside against the various federal statutes known as antitrust doctrine. They explode the cherished myths underlying the antitrust laws, and expose their intellectual fountainhead in a morality of self-sacrifice that is incompatible with individual rights, free enterprise, and objective law. With the publication of this text, businessmen, lawyers, economists, policy makers, legislators, and judges finally have access to a systemic critique of the antitrust laws. From here on, if antitrust continues to violate the rights of businessmen and to ravage the American economy, it is not for lack of knowing how and why."

Carroll Knollsthe setting of Richard McCann's My Mother's Clothes: The School of Beauty and Shameis a world defined by borders; it is divided by property lines, lot spaces, fences, gates, doors, and all other manners of boundaries and barriers. The author infuses the narrative with this motif as a backdrop for the more abstract borders of identity that the narrator navigates in the story. These divisive lines that run through the text make a fitting landscape for the narratoran adolescent boy struggling with his inchoate sexualityto grapple with the definitions of his identity: how does he fit into the rigid structure of this world? Where does his homosexualityunidentified and unexpressed, except vaguely, during the timeline of the retrospective4 narration; though accepted by the present-day narrator: [ ] this costume having become the standard garb of the urban American gay manplace him among the social and sexual roles of his community (McCann, p. 557)? He feels like an outsider, an other, so how does he come to some level of personal and societal acceptance? At the same time, though he is outside the agreed-upon sexual normalcy of an adolescent boy in Carroll Knolls, dressing up in his mother's clothes and experimenting with gender play and transvestitism, he adheres to other conventionally male or masculine activities with ease and without inner conflict; he plays War, a characteristic pastime of a young male child, a game in which someone stood on Stanley Allen's front porch and machine-gunned the rest of us, who one by one clutched our bellies as if choking on blood, and rolled exquisite death throes down the grassy hill (McCann, p. 552). This fluidity of sexual roles, as queer theorist Diana Fuss, in Inside / Outside: lesbian theories, gay theories, puts it, call[s] into question the stability and ineradicability of the hetero / homo hierarchy (Fuss, p. 1). In other words, gender roles, though apparently rigid and impassable, can be redefined. Even embedded inside a community and inside a world constructed of borders, the boundaries within one remain unset, fluid, and malleablea point the text sets out to make to the reader.
[...] or is it something that is sinful, shameful, something to be shunned, something to be denied and hidden from everyone, including themselves—and, ultimately, faced with these emotions and troubling questions, the person refuses to identify what is inside themselves, to slip into denial of their unkempt yard.” And the last sentence in the introductory paragraph indicates the consequences of this life of isolation and self-denial, and also how such a circumstance is brought about by the exclusionary effects of borders and divisions with the neighborhood: “After its initial occupants moved away, the corner house remained vacant for months.” First, it suggests that the homeowners in the “turned-around house” were placed at the margin of the neighborhood, on the corner of the block, and therefore excluded and divided from the rest of the neighborhood, unwelcome. [...]
[...] As Eve Sedgwick identifies in the fourth of her “Seven Axioms” in Epistemology of the Closet: immemorial, seemingly ritualized debates on nature versus nurture take place against a very unstable background of tacit assumptions and fantasies about both nature and nurture” (Sedgwick, p. 40). In other words, the social boundaries and borders that shape us, and the assumptions about those boundaries, are not as rigid as they may appear, a similar argument that McCann's text advances. In fact, the line veneer had already been splintered from the table's edge, as though someone had nervously picked at it while watching which appears in the second paragraph of McCann's story, suggests such malleability of identity. [...]
[...] This desire to claim an identity not defined by outside boundaries and borders leads the narrator understand the malleable nature of identity, how the boys straddle the categories of and through their transvestitism: ] he could not understand that this was himself, as was also and at the same time the boy in overalls and Keds. He was split in two pieces—as who was not?—the blond wave cresting rigidly above his close- cropped hair” (McCann, p. 555). These lines acknowledge the dual identity that is constructed when the boys dress up in the narrator's mother's clothes; they are at once becoming something different, something socially unacceptable, while at the same time remaining the adolescent males who wear jeans and overalls and sneakers and other traditionally male articles of clothing. [...]
[...] The obvious tangible distance between the narrator and the father indicates a separation between acceptable and deviant behavior—as a subtext to the scene, the father voices concerns about Denny, saying, makes me nervous,'” an implication that there is, number one, something off or queer about the boy, and an unspoken worry that Denny may be having an effect on his own son—demonstrating the utilization of boundaries: on one side there is the mainstream, and on the other side, there is everything apart from it, where the narrator stands “awkwardly.” The use of the word “awkwardly” also underscores the alienation felt when placed in a role of the Other. [...]
[...] Furthermore, whereas activities that fall outside of the fixed borders of acceptable male adolescent behavior must be performed in secret, McCann illustrates the ease and acceptance which brash displays of boyish masculinity is tolerated in the society of Carroll Knolls: ] and then sometimes Bucky, hoping to scare the elementary school kids, would lead his solemn procession of junior high ‘hoods' down the block, their penises hanging from their unzipped trousers” (McCann, p. 553). This image of a group of boys brandishing their penises as weapons, as instruments of fear, shows how embraces of boyhood and masculinity is something that can be performed in public without worry of reproach, while any displays that fall outside of gender-appropriate acts must be kept hidden, initiated only in privacy, something to be ashamed of.

Review of History Beyond Trauma
Title: History Beyond Trauma
Author: Davoine, François and Jean-Max Gaudillière
Publisher: New York: Other Press, 2004
Reviewed By: James E. Gorney, Fall 2004, pp. 43-45
In History Beyond Trauma Françoise Davoine and Jean-Max Gaudillière have provided the social sciences, and in particular psychoanalysis, with a profound and original illumination of the theory and treatment of psychosis. Over the course of this ambitious, encyclopaedic volume, the authors summarize and integrate thirty years of their collaborative clinical and theoretical investigation of psychotic phenomena. This is an essential book for all interested in the psychoanalytic understanding of madness and trauma.
Drawing upon their early studies in philosophy and classics, subsequent academic experience as professors of sociology, and eventual psychoanalytic training in the school of Lacan, Davoine and Gaudillière approach madness not as a symptom, pathology or structure in the DSM, but rather as a Place. This is the place where the symbolic order, which guarantees an individual’s connection to language, history and social relations, has ruptured, exploded or disappeared. Consequently, one of the most original and important insights to be found in this work is that the psychotic is engaged in a form of research investigation into the nature and history of this place; he or she is a seeker.
In the clinical situation, the therapist is second in command to the patient---the Principal Investigator—who desperately attempts to articulate an unspeakable dimension of trauma and catastrophe, which has come to be foreclosed in individual or social history. Within this context, Davoine and Gaudillière draw upon numerous other powerful traditions to inform this non-reductionistic formulation of the psychotic experience. From their many years of contact with clinicians associated with the Austen Riggs Center they have assimilated the work of Sullivan, Fromm-Reichman, Searles and Otto Will. They also have been significantly influenced by the texts of Winnicott, Bion and Gaetano Benedetti. Within History Beyond Trauma the authors weave multiple strands of the many French and non-French masters from whom they have learned; yet, as they themselves are quick to point out, their most profound teachers have been those psychotic patients with whom they have engaged in psychoanalytic exploration over the years.
As Gerard Fromm notes in his forward to this volume, History Beyond Trauma is written in a literary, philosophical, non-linear and somewhat elliptical style. In other words, it is at times very French. For those not used to this manner of discourse it may take some getting used to, but patience and perseverance will provide considerable rewards to the reader. Indeed, as the book unfolds, an overarching polyphonic structure emerges, as in a complex musical score, in which theoretical, philosophical, literary and clinical perspectives upon psychosis begin to synergize each other in surprising ways. The book is divided into two sections: Part I–Lessons of Madness, and Part II–Lessons from the Front. Broadly speaking, Part I develops a philosophic and psychoanalytic theoretical model of psychosis and Part II develops a framework for the psychoanalytic treatment of psychosis by drawing upon principles derived from war psychiatry. The theoretical and clinical sections of the book dovetail; they mutually enrich and inform each other.
The essential insight which is developed with great nuance and complexity in Part I is that the psychotic symptom is a marker pointing toward a Place; a place of unspeakable catastrophe, destruction and horror once inhabited in the past, and now still relived in the present. The symptom both masks and begins to communicate the madness, mute pain and terror of this as yet un-symbolized location. The un-symbolized trauma comes to haunt the subject, while at the same time foreclosing free access to individual, familial, or social history. It is only when this place of trauma can be named and inserted into the symbolic order of language that the horror can be remembered, and not just re-lived repetitively as if it is branded or carved into one’s very being. When the catastrophe inhabiting the place of the Real (the unsymbolized) can be brought into a “social link” through the dialectic of symbolic speech in a human relationship, then the trauma can be remembered, spoken, eventually integrated, and even, for long periods, usefully repressed or forgotten. This field of symbolic language is entered through the inscription of a name or a word that functions as a signifier. How to facilitate the emergence of such a signifier, in word or perhaps, at first, in gesture, within the psychoanalytic situation is at the center of Davoine and Gaudillière’s clinical concern. A general framework for clinical praxis with psychotic patients eventually comes to center stage within Part II.
The authors radically locate psychosis within a social and historical field of investigation. In regard to “madness”, they assert; “we never use this word to describe the structure of an individual but instead to characterize a form of social link in an extreme situation” (p. xxii). It is precisely the unsymbolized and unremembered trauma of such “extreme situations” that come to haunt the psychotic subject. Within psychosis there is a collapse of time as well as personal identity. The individual is inhabited in the present not only by ghosts from his own earlier life experience, but also those of preceding generations. The authors draw upon their own personal history, as well as their French and European identities, to develop a model of trauma based upon the paradigm of war. Davoine and Gaudillière were literally born into a war zone in the early 1940’s. They and their patients had parents and grandparents who were directly affected by both of the world wars fought on their native soil. In toto, the carnage, brutality and social disruption of war lead to breakdowns in the symbolic order, the rule of law and the predictability of social relations. This collapse becomes for the authors the basis of a powerfully illuminating model of trauma. They go on to illustrate their concept of trauma as a war zone with vivid clinical material. From this perspective, they take particular care in asserting, “the connection between madness and trauma is not a causal one. For there can be no transition from the past to the present when the impact of disaster has immobilized time” (p. xxx). Thus, the psychotic patient transmits from generation to generation “pieces of frozen time,” eventually bringing a war zone into the analyst’s consulting room.
Davoine and Gaudillière examine this zone of collapsed time through multiple lenses. First and foremost it is a place where conventional, reliable rules and norms of symbolic speech have been exploded; in their place the psychotic individual engages in Wittgensteinian language games. The patient in the place of madness initially comes to the therapist in a state of “rupture, departure and confrontation,” thereby thrusting the therapist into a battle scene. This war zone becomes an empty possibility within which the first beginnings of symbolic exchange may be inscribed. This would constitute a first step away from madness, toward the horizon of the symbolic. At this juncture, the authors provide a rich metaphor for the entire therapeutic process via elaborating the etymological metaphor of the ancient Greek word Symbalon:
“Symbolon emphasizes the signifying gesture in which two new allies exchange the two pieces of a broken shard, in such a way that their being fitted together later on is a pledge of mutual hospitality for them and their descendants. These humble bits and pieces, broken for the occasion, take the place of one’s word given as a guarantee. Of no intrinsic value, they are the basis of value and the foundation of the social tie, at the same time as they are the possibility of language itself (p. 66).”
Thus, to restore the place of language is to restore the place of the symbolic order itself. This is the task of the analyst, who must now approach the patient in madness upon the battlefield, carrying the broken shards of his own humanity and history. Within the book, this now shifts the focus to the nature of the therapeutic relationship in the field of madness.
Part II of History Beyond Trauma delineates the conditions necessary for a psychoanalytic investigation into trauma and madness that can facilitate symbolic exchange and activate therapeutic transformation. Toward this end, Davoine and Gaudillière, remaining within their model of war, recount research that led them to uncover the first principles of war psychiatry. These were developed by Thomas W. Salmon in 1917 to deal with shell-shocked soldiers returning traumatized from the front. The so-called “Salmon Principles” are elaborated upon in Part II by the authors and the implications of each of these principles for establishing the possibility of psychoanalytic work with traumatized, psychotic individuals is developed in detail. Thus, the second half of the book is particularly rich in clinical wisdom and insight. For Davoine and Gaudillière the Salmon Principles become broad technical guidelines for transforming standard psychoanalytic technique and the therapeutic frame for work with those who are psychotic. The principles are:
• Proximity opens up a new space of trustworthiness amid chaos.
• Immediacy creates a living temporality in contact with urgency.
• Expectancy constructs a welcome to the return from hell.
• Simplicity emphasizes the obligation to speak without jargon.
Modifying traditional psychoanalytic practice in light of these principles may at first, to some, seem radical and controversial, yet they are consistent with modifications proposed by many other important psychoanalytic researchers into madness, i.e. Fromm-Reichman, Searles, Otto Will, Winnicott, Margaret Little and Benedetti.
Davoine and Gaudillière contend that Proximity not only refers to the actual physical encounter within the consulting room, it also involves a willingness to engage face to face upon the battlefield of a traumatic place; a taking up the gauntlet and a determination to survive the patient’s destructiveness without undue retaliation. From this distinctly Winnicottian position, the authors assert that the details of the real trauma will eventually become revealed within the specifics of the transference relationship. Through the unfolding of the transference, a significant relational bond develops: “Combat evokes in those who are fighting side by side a passion for taking care of the other physically and psychically, equivalent to the earliest and deepest family relationships” (p. 154). Thus, referencing the etymology of the ancient Greek term Therapôn, meaning a second in combat and ritual double, the therapist is understood as a comrade in arms. Together confronting trauma, the therapeutic dyad engaged in the psychoanalysis of madness create “a psychoanalysis upside down. Far from lifting a repression it becomes the tool that makes repression possible and puts an end to the catastrophic effects of the Real” (p. 158)
For Davoine and Gaudillière, the principle of Immediacy opens up the possibility of establishing contact with the patient at the maximal locus of urgency. When they contend that “It is better to conceive of all crises of madness as beginnings” (p. 168), the authors follow in a long tradition, beginning with Sullivan in his early work Conceptions of Modern Psychiatry (1940) which postulated that the moment of madness creates the potential for hope and re-integration. Within psychoanalysis, psychosis cannot be approached at a distance. Immediacy implies active engagement, and that may engender risk, uncertainty and confusion in the analyst. Again, Davoine and Gaudillière turn conventional psychoanalysis on its head when they propose that upon entering this field of madness, “transferentially the response comes first, then the formulation of the problem of which the analyst will come to be part once he has become confused” (p. 169). It is the gradual working out of this confusion via the identification and naming of ghosts that comes to constitute the fabric of the treatment. Efforts to reduce the immediacy of this encounter by primary recourse to psychotropic medication or behavioral interventions are understood by the authors to be most often a countertransferential backing away by the analyst from the dangerous urgency of the battle scene. In the face of contemporary prevailing modes of treatment offered to psychotic individuals in America and Europe, the authors’ point of view in this regard is unsparing, controversial and ultimately courageous.
The principle of Expectancy references the realm of the interpersonal, of alterity, the place of relying on a trustworthy other. It conjures images of wounded buddies forging a bond in the trenches and implies a form of mutuality in which both participants in the analytic situation bring shards of their own traumas and histories with them (the Symbolon) into the evolving relationship. Davoine and Gaudillière are not thereby proposing a boundaryless, mutual confessional, but rather they recognize that upon entering a zone of trauma, two histories converge in analytic space. Put another way, they assert that when analyst and patient encounter each other in the war zone, all of both of their relatives and ancestors also enter this space. The past is also in the present. Therefore, there are critical moments when the analyst’s own life, memories, experiences and history must be articulated to initiate symbolic exchange. It is possible for this then to be experienced by the psychotic patient as a trustworthy affirmation. Yet, the affirmation of expectancy begins with the very first word uttered by the analyst at the very beginning of the first session. The authors put it very clearly: “This first ‘Yes’ from the analyst is a primal affirmation that in fact presides over the judgment of existence we have spoken of and opens out the field of speech: ‘Yes, something happened, something happed to you; it’s not all in your head, and what you’re showing is the only way you could bear witness to it. No, these events are not the cause of your condition but the object of your investigation’ (p. 221).”
The principle of Simplicity can best be illustrated through a consideration of the many generous clinical accounts offered throughout the book. The authors believe that psychoanalysis is within an ancient and long tradition of oral history and their stories of transformative clinical encounters with psychotic patients are masterfully realized and beautifully presented. Within these accounts both analysts are heard to speak simply, directly, and above all, with profound honesty to their mad patients. They make creative use of found objects to initiate symbolic exchange when speech fails or is not yet possible. They utilize aspects of their own (sometimes traumatic) histories in order to make points of connection with patients who have disappeared, exploded or evaporated. Davoine and Gaudillière are true masters of their craft and it is mesmerizing, and a rare privilege, to observe them help create small (and sometimes large) miracles within the consulting room. Often these clinicians appear more related to shamans or medicine men than to scientists or doctors. Yet, within the arena of madness, this is exactly the direction to which a radical trust in unconscious processes inexorably leads. Shamans and medicine men are also fundamental exemplars of an ancient oral tradition.
In summary, History Beyond Trauma is a singularly important contribution to psychoanalysis in general, and the theory and treatment of psychosis in particular. It rests on the shoulders of giants from the past while it simultaneously charts radically creative new directions for the future. For those of us engaged in the ongoing work of undertaking psychoanalytic exploration with traumatized and psychotic patients, this is an indispensable volume. Particularly in this age of managed care, antipsychotic medication and DSM-driven psychiatry, History Beyond Trauma offers hope for the healing power of symbolic exchange within a human relationship. Beyond the dilemma of psychosis, Davoine and Gaudillière deserve to be read by all who believe in the transformative potential of the psychoanalytic relationship. In my judgment, this magnificent book is likely to become an essential part of the psychoanalytic canon for generations to come. It deserves the widest possible readership.

Conrad Riehl and his daughter Elizabeth Caroline
(This week’s segment begins with the Mellor family, along with the rest of the Martin Company, departing from Iowa City in late July 1856.)
The Mellor family had two handcarts and the business also herded about 50 cattle, mostly dairy cows. The plan was to make it to Utah in 70 days, hopefully doing about 18½ miles a day—a 1,300 mile journey.
The emigrants arrived three miles east of Marengo on August 3 to camp for the night.
“They stopped near the home of Carl and Carolyn Schoenborn,” Charlotte reported. “Mrs. Schoenborn invited some of the women and small children to sleep in the basement of their log cabin. Mr. Schoenborn has been helping with some handcart repairs.”
The log home was described as well maintained; the fissures are almost pure white and the trunks are beautifully smoothed. There was about 260 acres of land stretching out from the river with a timber lot on the hill above the house. While they were encamped here, a group of men on horses and two wagons with people from Marengo approached the farm to disturb the camp. Very cool heads kept the disturbance at bay, and the Mormons did not retaliate when all sorts of derogatory things were said about them. The mob’s insults and accusations were met with kindness and soon the antagonists left. The Mormon group softened the somber tone with song and prayer.
The next morning some of the men went into the nearby woods to harvest some birds which were then made into a fine soup.
“Ms. Schonborn invited the women to bake some in her fireplace and do some laundry,” Charlotte noted. Late in the afternoon of August 4, the group set out again, “first across Hilton Creek and then through Bear Creek, which has been described as shallow and muddy”. Here they camped in the woods for the night. The emigrants reached Fort Des Moines on August 13 and continued west to Council Bluffs on August 21.
The report of crossing Nebraska, during which many became ill, several died and were buried along the way, replenished supplies when possible, made repairs, saw buffalo for the first time, and noted the presence of Cheyenne Indians. On October 8, the group camped within sight of Fort Laramie, Wyo. On October 20, the emigrants awoke to snow, which made their journey very difficult. The coming days were filled with much more sickness and death. When shoes wore out from walking, new foot coverings were made from parts of the tents. Many perilous days and nights were spent in the Wyoming area, and eventually a Salt Lake City rescue team was dispatched to escort the remaining travelers to Salt Lake City.
On November 30, 1856, the Martin Company reached Salt Lake City, Utah. They arrived with 104 handcarts still intact and were warmly welcomed into town. The long journey to Zion was over for this group of emigrant Mormons. What a journey from England to Utah in the United States by boat, rail and foot!
Eventually, Charlotte’s parents moved to Warm Spring (later Fayette), Utah. In 1861 the Mellor family welcomed another son, John. The whole family stayed in Utah, each of the children married and started their own family. Charlotte married Henry Roper in February 1857, aged 16. She bore thirteen children, the youngest of whom was only two years old when Charlotte died in June 1886.
Note: The author of this book, JoAnn Mellor Felix, used the memories of Charlotte along with the timelines relating to the Martin Company voyages as narrated by others on the voyage to tell the story of their fourth (maternal) and third (paternal) to write son. Great-granduncle, James Mellor and his family.
A note on the Schoenborn/Schonborn family: Elizabeth Caroline Riehl was born in Illinois in 1842 to Conrad and Anna Riehl. Elizabeth’s mother died when Elizabeth was 13, and her father took her to Iowa, where he bought the piece of land in Section 33 of Washington Township (then Marengo Township). A cottage had been built there, in which Elizabeth lived with her father until Elizabeth married Charles “Carl” August Schönborn in 1863. Charles Schönborn came to America with his two brothers from Austria-Hungary in 1857 and initially settled in Oxford in the Iowa area.
Given the Schönborn history collected by the late Jane Bigbee, daughter Ann and I think it more likely that the people encountered at the cabin in 1856 were Conrad Riehl and his daughter, who were then 14 years old would. Property transactions with Conrad Riehl do not take place until 1858, so there is uncertainty as to who actually owned the hut mentioned in the book. Riehl received the land through a US government land grant and also purchased a section from one John G. Miles. Perhaps the Miles family built the cabin and Riehl came from Illinois with his daughter to inspect the area, which they eventually bought.
In 1863 CASchonborn and Elizabeth married Caroline Riehl and shortly afterwards returned to the Oxford area to occupy this cottage and look after their father, Conrad Riehl, who died in 1870. Conrad Riehl’s will bequeathed the land that belonged to him Sections 27 and 28 to his daughter Elizabeth and her husband C. A. Schonborn. Eventually, Schönborn purchased an adjoining farm to form about 200 acres in what was then the parish of Marengo, as shown on the 1874 plan map.
In 1885 the Schönborn family moved to Marengo and ran a grocery store on the east side of the square. They were active residents of the Marengo area until their deaths: CA in 1926 and Elizabeth in 1913. The Schönborns had eight children: three who survived to adulthood. Anna married JE “Ed” Eckert (the local residents’ grandparents of the late Garth Bigbee, the late Darlene Eckert Sayers and Verabeth Eckert Bricker). Evelyn married Clarence Huber and Wallie married David McLennan. All Schönborn children were born in this log cabin east of Marengo.
A daughter of Wallie McLennan, Katherine McLennan Love, contributed information to the book written by JoAnn Mellor Felix and most likely shared the names of Schönborn since they lived at the cabin and on this land after the Riehls. The author of the book has since passed away. The land owned by CA Schonborn was divided between his children in the 1920s and eventually the property on the north side of what is now Highway 6 was owned by his daughter Wallie Schonborn McLennan and her husband David. They sold the land in Sections 28 and 33 to Leo and Norma Patterson Young in the 1940s, where the Youngs farmed and raised their family. A daughter of the Youngs, Carole, along with her husband Richard Ballard, purchased the land in 1969 and lived there before building a ranch-style house to the east.
This article was compiled by Marilyn Rodgers while reading the book provided by the Ballard family, which was originally gifted to Carole’s mother, Norma Young. Information was also obtained from Ann Bigbee and taken from the 1881 Iowa County History and the 2009 Marengo History (Family Edition). Carole Young Ballard provided oral information. The painting of the cabin is owned by the Bigbee family. Once family members in the area have had a chance to read this book, the plan is to donate it to the Marengo Public Library for loan.

Romanians have the cult of waiting.
They have always waited for something and hoped that their wait would be rewarded. They often replaced their own efforts with a passive, almost fatalistic expectation, believing that their lives would become better or freer through the intervention of envoys. They waited for the Americans to get rid of communism, they waited for the market economy to get rid of poverty and trouble, they waited for the European Union to get rid of isolation and backwardness.
The Americans did not come when they were expected, the market economy only enriched a few of them, and the European Union only gave them the chance to become strawberries in Spain or masons and maids in Italy.
The crisis period we are going through has generated another state of waiting. The International Monetary Fund is expected to save a Romania that can no longer support its own citizens, which even after three years of accession to the European Union has failed to turn the benefits of this accession into factors of economic growth and modernization of society.
Romania's economy, like the Beauty in the Sleeping Forest, awaits the miracle of awakening to life, as always, through the intervention of someone else, through support from elsewhere, through the care and responsibility of others. Wrong.
In a world of globalization and strong competitive struggles between the main pillars of the world economy, one's own effort is becoming increasingly important. Before being globalized or Europeanized, economies are and will remain national, and their strength is expressed directly through the ability to mobilize and streamline their internal potential.
It was a great pleasure for me to find in the work of the young author, associate professor Cristina Bălăceanu, PhD in economics, this understanding of the importance of changes in conceptual approach on the structure and competitiveness of the Romanian economy in the accession to the European Union. It is comforting to note that a representative of the young generation of Romanian economists detaches himself from the mioritic fatalism specific to many of us, placing a courageous emphasis on the need for a profound change of mentality in the direction of transforming our own effort of thought and action into a decisive modernization factor. and Romania's progress in the context of joining the European Union.
Apart from this obvious quality of conceptualization and demonstration of the importance of the role of national effort in European economic integration, the paper is a successful example of economic analysis, giving a broad and correct picture of the current structure and dynamics of the Romanian economy. The measures that the author suggests in the direction of correcting or rethinking some elements of economic policy could be immediately transformed into guidelines of a possible strategy to get out of the recession and relaunch the economy.
Although it is not the first published paper, Cristina Bălăceanu, associate professor of economics, proves by this that she meets two qualities that I hope she will use to the fullest in the future to become a well-known and appreciated name of Romanian economic literature. These qualities are the robustness of logic and the elegance of style.

So...what have you read lately???
I need some good books for these last few weeks of pregnancy--reading is my favorite escape and I'm finding myself needing to escape more and more each day.
I just read Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl and really enjoyed it. I'm kind of a picky reader, so even if I pick up six books from the library I will probably put down three...unless I'm really desperate for something to read. Which means I need a plethora of ideas...so, list away friends, list away.


Virtual Program: History Of The Merrimack River & How To Clean It Up
April 21 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Meeting via email.**
Local author and journalist Dyke Hendrickson will discuss his new book, Merrimack: The Resilient River, An Illustrated Narrative of the Most Historic River in New England, in this Zoom webinar.
About The Book: Part history and part call to action, Dyke’s well-researched book highlights the dramatic life of the Merrimack River, from the colorful days of the Native Americans to its current status as one of the most scenic recreational waterways in New England. The 117-mile river runs from central New Hampshire to Newburyport, Massachusetts, where it meets the Atlantic. Here the Coast Guard was born and colonial trade thrived. The Industrial Revolution was launched in the riverside mills of Lowell, Massachusetts and Manchester, New Hampshire. The science of clean drinking water was developed in Lawrence, Massachusetts and the first successful labor action also took place in Lawrence. Thousands of immigrants worked in mills along the Merrimack, and this book tells their riveting stories. In the 70s, the once-filthy Merrimack was cleaned up to serve again as one of the most popular waterways in New England. The Merrimack is still an essential resource. It serves as the source of drinking water for a half-million people. Many have seen part of the Merrimack River, but this unique book provides info and images about all sectors of this great waterway.
About The Author: Dyke Hendrickson is the outreach historian for the Merrimack River Watershed Council. In that role, he speaks on the history of the Coast Guard and of the Merrimack River. He graduated from Franklin and Marshall College with a degree in history, and he did graduate work at the University of Maine, Orono. He is a former writer and/or editor with the Portland Press Herald, the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Boston Herald and The Daily News in Newburyport.

Liveness is a persistent and much-debated concept in media studies. Until recently, it was associated primarily with broadcast media, and television in particular. However, the emergence of social media has brought new forms of liveness into effect. These forms challenge common assumptions about and perspectives on liveness, provoking a revisiting of the concept.
In this book, Karin van Es develops a comprehensive understanding of liveness today, and clarifies the stakes surrounding the category of the 'live'. She argues that liveness is the product of a dynamic interaction between media institutions, technologies and users. In doing so, she challenges earlier conceptions of the notion, which tended to focus on either one of these contributors to its construction.
By analyzing the 'live' in four different cases – a live streaming platform, an online music collaboration website, an example of social TV, and a social networking site – van Es explores the operation of the category and pinpoints the conditions under which it comes into being. The analysis is the starting point for a broader reflection on the relation between broadcast and social media.
