    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 474 132 SO 033 912 AUTHOR Parker, Franklin; Parker, Betty TITLE James Albert Michener (1907-97): Educator, Textbook Editor, Journalist, Novelist, and Educational Philanthropist--An Imaginary Conversation. PUB DATE 2002-00-00 NOTE 18p.; Paper presented at Uplands Retirement Community (Pleasant Hill, TN, June 17, 2002). PUB TYPE Opinion Papers (120) EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Authors; *Biographies; *Educational Background; Popular Culture; Primary Sources; Social Studies IDENTIFIERS *Conversation; Educators; Historical Research; *Michener (James A); Pennsylvania (Doylestown); Philanthropists ABSTRACT This paper presents an imaginary conversation between an interviewer and the novelist, James Michener (1907-1997). Starting with Michener's early life experiences in Doylestown (Pennsylvania), the conversation includes his family's poverty, his wanderings across the United States, and his reading at the local public library. The dialogue includes his education at Swarthmore College (Pennsylvania), St. Andrews University (Scotland), Colorado State University (Fort Collins, Colorado) where he became a social studies teacher, and Harvard (Cambridge, Massachusetts) where he pursued, but did not complete, a Ph.D. in education. Michener's experiences as a textbook editor at Macmillan Publishers and in the U.S. Navy during World War II are part of the discourse. The exchange elaborates on how Michener began to write fiction, focuses on his great success as a writer, and notes that he and his wife donated over $100 million to educational institutions over the years. Lists five selected works about James Michener and provides a year-by-year Internet search on the author.(BT) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

  • Community Cookbook
    Community Cookbook Curated by Sienna Fekete Designed by Rin Kim Ni Illustrations by Shireen Alia Ahmed This community cookbook was conceptualized as a way to bring together cherished recipes, the memories, traditions and family legacies we carry with them, and make folks feel a little more connected to one another. Inspired by the history of community cookbooks as a tool for community reciprocity and skill-sharing, I know food to be a great unifier. I grew up with an immense love for food, discovering new tastes and textures, and the creative possibility of food—without an extensive knowledge of the practice of cooking itself nor a way around the kitchen. This is my way of learning and exploring food together with my community and creating a community-generated resource that hopefully will inspire us all to learn from each other and try out some new things. Dedicated to my twelve-year-old self, a novice yet ambitious food-lover and all the folks who showed me about the power of good food <3 - Sienna Fekete 3 Table of Contents: Side Dishes / Dips / Spreads / Breads Main Dishes 10-11 Lima Bean Masabeha - Gal Amit 48-49 Sunday Shakshuka - Margot Bowman 12-13 Jawole’s Momma’s Grandmother’s White Beans - Jawole Willa Jo Zollar Teochew Chive Dumplings - Vanessa Holyoak 50-51 14-15 Family Scones - Vanessa Gaddy Harissa Chickpea Bowl With Potatoes, Lemon-y Tahini & Greens - 52-53 Anna Santangelo 16-17 Maya’s New Mexican Hatch Chili Cornbread - Maya Contreras 54-55 Kousa Mashi - Sanna Almajedi 18-19 Muhammara Traditional Arabic Red Pepper and Walnut

Visit www.nytreprints.com for samples and additional information. Order a reprint of this article now. November 4, 2009 Cookbooks as Edible Adventures By JULIA MOSKIN LONG before Internet avatars, home cooks knew the way to self-transformation: cookbooks. Bonding with a new one means assuming a new identity, if only for a week or two. Those who dream of buying cumin in the souks of Marrakesh (wearing a fetching caftan, of course) can work through Paula Wolfert’s tagines and mezzes; fans of Provençal flavors channel Patricia Wells when sautéing her carrots and black olives. That’s why, even in the age of ever-expanding recipe databases, cookbooks are still alluring. In the good ones, voice, images, recipes and food sense knit into edible autobiography. This fall, readers are getting fewer convoluted recipes that are like postcards from the frontiers of gastronomy (and about as useful in the kitchen). There are more home-cook-friendly recipes, like salt- and sugar-roasted pork belly from a New York chef or prune cake with buttermilk icing from a ranch wife in Oklahoma. There’s attentiveness to American chefs, as if in recognition that homegrown talent is enough to sustain us now. There is also a flood of vegan recipes, slow-cooker books and collections from Martha Stewart, Lidia Bastianich and Rachael Ray. But here are this season’s most interesting titles.
