Book Description
"Reuben Reuben "is set in mid 1950s suburbia in Connecticut and starts out being told from the point of view of a grumpy but corruptible chicken farmer. The novel s second part recounts what happens when a womanizing poet from Wales (clearly Dylan Thomas) visits this new-to-him world of tidy lawns and cocktail parties and liberated lady poets. In the final third, a British poet/agent named Mopworth continues the story of the confused suburban literati. Fast-paced, devastating, energetic, and laugh-out-loud funny, it also has a manic note to it, as if the author were Scheherazade-like; being compulsively entertainingscrambling to amuse the reader with stories and jokes lest serious questions arise."

Book Description
Based on extensive research at eight universities - Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, Chicago, Stanford, Michigan, and California at Berkeley - Reuben examines the aims of university reformers in the context of nineteenth-century ideas about truth. She argues that these educators tried to apply new scientific standards to moral education, but that their modernization efforts ultimately failed.

Book Description
Reuben and Grace Chisholm led a happy, almost idyllic life on a small homestead. Until one day that was to change their lives. While Reuben was in town collecting provisions, he had time for one beer. While in the saloon, he'd heard that their closest neighbours, the Carver family, had been murdered and their home burned to the ground. Reuben's first thought was for his wife, Grace, alone at the homestead. He had to get back as quickly as possible and protect her. But he was too late. The house had been burned to the ground and there was no sign of his wife. He had to find her, but it was five long arduous years before he finally found the truth about that day.

Book Description
REUBEN ....I’d driven to Santa Ana from South Laguna to tell John Blackburn, a reporter from the Santa Ana Register, about two future forecasts I’d recently completed. I’d had a particularly intense dream and tried a rebuilt simplified set of equations without the earth tides that still eluded me. But I’d gotten two results that were very persuasive. It was February 5, 1971. Blackburn, smiled. “Reuben, you’ve got quite an impressive history here, Eighty-seven percent accuracy in ’35, you said?” “I looked up the July 11, 1935 New York Times article,” he added. “The writer, Lawrence, was pretty complimentary.” I appreciated he did his homework, but I had mixed feelings about his comment. I feared he might have seen the August 1, 1935 Times Science Editor article, which was the opposite of complimentary.... “This is good work, Reuben,” John said, “But these predictions are history. What about the future earthquakes you mentioned on the phone? That’s what our readers want to know.” I smiled. I had a hot one for him in Southern California, Magnitude 6.6 at 6:03 AM, in just four days, and a less imminent forecast, for January 1973 in San Francisco. That was the one that excited me, even though some of the computational results needed double-checking. It could be an accurate prediction of the “Big One.” But boy, did I hit a home run on February 9, 1971—the Southern California Sylmar earthquake struck at 6:01 AM with Magnitude 6.7—it was only two minutes early ...

Book Description
This study offers a lens on two kindergarten classrooms, examining moments of disobedience as children interacted with children, their teachers, and the space and time elements of the classroom environments. Through Eisner’s educational criticism, author Sherry Leafgren also examines the elements of school, kindergarten and teachers within the spaces of their intersections with the children. While past research has directed our attention to addressing the problem of classroom disobedience, Leafgren provides an opportunity and means to view these familiar actions through fresh lenses of possibilities. Predicated by an event in the researcher’s teaching life, she utilizes Deleuze and Guattari’s rhizoanalysis to openly seek lateral paths of understanding by linking and folding the findings with texts other than those that would be normally used toward developing new understandings and questions regarding children’s disobediences. An earlier version of this book was awarded the distinguished dissertation award from the International Institute for Qualitative Methodology.
