Private Investigator Carl Vincent, former NYPD Detective, likes working cases without the restrictions imposed by big city bureaucracy. He plays by his own rules. While routine cases pay the bills, it's the unusual calls, the cries for help, that bring him to life, tapping sources in high and low places in order to help the people without power take back their lives from the bullies, the advantage takers we know only too well. Unweaving a Tangled Web, first installment in The Case Files of Private Detective Carl Vincent is only the beginning . . .
As portrayed in Homer's Odyssey, Penelope - wife of Odysseus and cousin of the beautiful Helen of Troy - has become a symbol of wifely duty and devotion, enduring twenty years of waiting when her husband goes to fight in the Trojan War. As she fends off the attentions of a hundred greedy suitors, travelling minstrels regale her with news of Odysseus' epic adventures around the Mediterranean - slaying monsters and grappling with amorous goddesses. When Odysseus finally comes home, he kills her suitors and then, in an act that served as little more than a footnote in Homer's original story, inexplicably hangs Penelope's twelve maids. Now, Penelope and her chorus of wronged maids tell their side of the story in a new stage version by Margaret Atwood, adapted from her own wry, witty and wise novel. The Penelopiad premiered with the Royal Shakespeare Company in association with Canada's National Arts Centre at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, in July 2007.
In Where? Xavy, the endearing narrator of Who? is invited by Grace, her old friend from the Baltimore womens community, to investigate the disappearance of a friends daughter. Their reunion in Vermont after twenty years of separation provides the home base for an inquiry leading Xavy high and low, from coast to coast, and beyond. Issues of faith, mercy and redemption play out within a contemporary tangle of belief systems and allegorical exploration. In the process Xavy and Grace and their friends examine remnants of feminist activism as well as recent issues like marriage equality for lesbians and gays, and the rise of the occupy movement. Throughout Where? Xavy provides insightful and amusing commentary on current issues, as well as themes of place, belonging, and home. As Xavy and Grace renew the friendship between them, they reflect, from the perspective of aging, upon the trajectories and rewards of their unconventional lives.

In this "important and alarming" (New York Times) book, see why so many American students are falling behind in their reading skills while others around the world excel. The way we teach reading is not working, and it cannot continue. We have largely abandoned phones-based reading instruction, despite research that supports its importance for word recognition. Rather than treating Black English as a valid dialect and recognizing that speaking one dialect can impact the ability to learn to read in another, teachers simply dismiss it as "incorrect English." And while we press children to develop large vocabularies because we think being a good reader means knowing more words, studies have found that a large vocabulary is only an indication of better pattern recognition. Understanding the science of reading is more important than ever--for us, and for our children. Seidenberg helps us do so by drawing on cutting-edge research in machine learning, linguistics, and early childhood development. Language at the Speed of Sight offers an erudite and scathing examination of this most human of activities, and concrete proposals for how our society can produce better readers.
