Library

History, Science, Museums, Books, People, Places and Things:

The web is the ultimate library, a fascinating doorway to past, present and future.

Maps and artifacts from the past have always fascinated me. Maps to find and relate information. Artifacts to bring the past into the present. And nothing helps put them all together like a personal family connection. As a chronicle is a record or list of events, this section is devoted to people and the environment. The image above is one of my first totally created from new digital tools... Procreate on an iPad Pro with and Apple Pencil.
For family related history information see the Genealogy section.

This section will be expanded over time, keep checking in. Thank you.

Sociology

Gender Styles in Computer Meditated Communication
Gender and Conversational Interaction (Oxford Studies in Sociolinguistics)
by Deborah Tannen
For interesting information on how we communicate visit Deborah Tannen's site or read her several outstanding books on influences of gender and communication styles on our daily lives. Deborah's the best selling author of "You Just Don't Understand," and her recent, "Talking From 9 to 5." on the impact of conversational styles in the workplace. They make great gifts for the people in your life you care about (or have to work with) who just don't seem to "speak your language." Her main point is that no one is "wrong or right," and that if we know something about how other people think, we can communicate better. Her books and tapes can also be found at amazon.com

Boxed Set : Give the Gift of Understanding/You Just Don't Understand That's Not What I Meant : How... Talking from 9 to 5 : Women and Men in... Gender and Discourse

The Gift of Fear : And Other Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence

Don't let the title fool you. This book is about accepting this gift we have all been given and putting fear to work as it was intended - for our survival. Gavin de Becker's number 1 best seller; "The Gift of Fear" has specific insights into the reasons for violent behavior and ways of protecting ones self and loved ones .
After spending years consulting for governments and celebrities he decided that the best way to really make a difference was to bring the information to the people. Now Gavin de Becker is working with the families of Columbine, to bring some sanity to the violence that is erupting among our children. The appendices in the back provide checklists for judging the "Incident Potential" for everyday situations and resources for dealing with them. The paperback has an additional chapter bringing it up to date as of May 98. An audio version is also available.

Those who can, do.
Those who can't, bully.
