Amazing and Thought Provoking
WOW! Such a different work for Lynn. I can't explain what I was thinking the first time I read this book. Awe, amazement, confusion. I just kept reading wondering what in the world she was going to say next. Once I hit the last page I started over. During the second reading I could fous on what she was saying rather than wondering what in the world was going to be on the next page. It was ...

Excellent Book!
My son just turned 10 and I want him to be prepared (he sees his 11 year old sister "changing" and he's interested in when his own puberty will start) and has been watching for his own new hair growth. We needed a book that addressed his interest and possible concerns about what puberty was and what to expect for himself. This book fit the bill exactly! It has very accessible text, nice color ...

Newmarket Press, 2001

Moms need this! More than dads. Maybe more than sons.
Dads may know all this stuff already, but moms don't have a clue! And moms are the ones who actually explain male anatomy & physiology to their sons. We're the ones who spend the most time with young boys and have the most opportunities to teach. Since we don't have first hand experience, we need factual information. I have two sons, and learned only from this book, how boys develop and ...

Essential reading for young girls and women
My mother bought me an earlier edition of this book when I was nine. I am 23 now, and over the years I have recognized again and again how much I have benefited from What's Happening to my Body. Puberty can be a confusing and scary time... I remember many times when I went to the book for information when I was worried that I wasn't "normal." The real life anecdotes were especially comforting to ...

Having suffered in silence for years, she understands the isolation it can cause. And then to have her own children come up with the same ...

A Solid Book for a Parent and Adolescent to go Through Together
Previous reviews have knocked this book for presenting anatomical drawings, medical descriptions, and even slang - assumably for teaching too much. While I understand the fear a parent feels, I believe the presentation is appropriate. Further it seems important that an adolescent know these terms. They will be used by teachers and schoolmates increasingly from Junior High forward. An ...

Critical Mass: Happenings, Fluxus, Performance, Intermedia, and Rutgers University, 1958-1972
Geoffrey Hendricks, 2003

Rutgers University, from 1958 to 1972, was at the center of many new developments in the art world. Artists connected with Happenings and Fluxus created works that had a major impact in New York and abroad. A dozen years after Allan Kaprow's first Happening on Rutgers University's Douglass campus in 1958, George Maciunas (Mr. Fluxus) created his major late composition, Flux-Mass, in the same space, and Hermann Nitsch, the Viennese Actionist, ...

Newmarket Press, 2003

A great introduction for "tweens"
I bought this book (along with a stack of others) to begin a dialogue with my 9 year old about the facts of life. Of all the books I reviewed, this one most well suited my daughter, with its colorful (and playful) illustrations and conversational tone (she loved the "eew gross!" references!). It adequately (and thoroughly) begins the discussion of how her young body is beginning to change, ...

Avant-Garde Art Explained
This book, full of pictures, scripts, diagrams, and interviews, is an essential for any person studing the Avant-Garde movements of this century. It provides stories, opinions, and explinations from the people who created the movement itself, and also included inumerous examples of many different kinds of happenings. A facinating read for anyone interested in theatre or art.

This is the best Book I've ever read! In fact,

Michael Ryce, 1996

It works for teens!
I read this book at my mother's insistence. I was having teenage relationship problems...AGAIN. Then I did a worksheet from the back of the book. It really works. The difference between what was actually happening in my world and the "reality" in my mind about that event were totally different things. Once I learned the tool for holding to love and releasing the goals I held - the anger and ...

English Composition As A Happening

Geoffrey Sirc

Utah State University Press, 2002

The Most Radical Recent Book in Composition Studies?
Sirc sees composition studies as having taken the wrong road, back in the late 70s, and the wrong road has been one of increasing professionalization, of selling out on the creative potential in teaching writing in exchange for being accepted within the institution and disciplines as the department that trains kids to do well in other departments. The road we're on is one of few options, Says ...
