Women Between
In Women Between: Construction of Self in the Work of Sharon Butala, Aganetha Dyck, Mary Meigs and Mary Pratt, Verna Reid explores the evolving perceptions of "self" in the work of four Canadian women - visual artists Aganetha Dyck and Mary Pratt, and writers Sharon Butala and Mary Meigs. All four came into prominence in middle age, doing their most significant work in their mature years. They, along with the author, are members of a transitional generation of women, occupying the space between the traditional world of their mothers and the postmodern world of their daughters. The multiple roles they have played are reflected in the strong autobiographical content present in their work. Applying feminist and autobiographical theory, Reid considers the work of Butala, Dyck, Meigs, and Pratt in light of the influences that have shaped their senses of identity. As a contemporary of her subjects, Reid infuses her interviews with the four women with sensitivity and immediacy, lending a unique perspective to the exploration of their lives and work.

Future of Knowledge
Verna Allee presents her vision of the future of knowledge in organizations and contends that in order to succeed in the new century, businesses need to think beyond knowledge management and move to re-thinking the nature, structure, and identity of organizations themselves. As a society we are massively reorganizing and re-skilling to thrive in a complex interdependent world, and the business world needs to be part of this change. This is a guide for businesses to managing greater and greater levels of complexity within their organizations and in society at large Since the publicatin of Allee's "The Knowledge Evolution" in 1997, the field of knowledge management has exploded. This volume updates her text and adds new material on three levels: at the strategic level, the new tools are intangible scorecards and understanding value networks; at the tactical level, the knowledge management tools for exchanging and applying knowledge are knowledge networks and communities of practice; and at the operational level, a wealth of new technologies is supporting the codification, storage and delivery of the knowledge people need to complete their routine tasks.

How We Talked and Common Folks
Two of Verna Mae Slone's most beloved books -- How We Talked and Common Folks -- are now available in a single edition. How We Talked is a timeless piece of literature, a free-form combination of glossary and memoir that uses native expressions to depict everyday life in Caney Creek, Kentucky. In addition to phrases and their meanings, the book contains sections on the customs and wisdom of Slone's community, a collection of children's rhymes, and stories and superstitions unique to Appalachia. More than just a dictionary, How We Talked is a rich compendium of life "on Caney," offering an understanding of the culture through the distinctive speech of its people. Originally published in 1979, Common Folks documents Slone's way of life in Pippa Passes, Kentucky, and expands on such diverse topics as family pets, coal mining, education, and marriage. Slone's firsthand account of this unique heritage draws readers into her hill-circled community and allows them to experience a lifestyle that is nearly forgotten. Whether she is writing about traditional Appalachian customs like folk medicine or about universal aspects of life such as a mother's yearning for the little girl she never had, Slone's instinctive sense of what matters most makes Common Folks a compelling meditation on a legacy worth remembering. Published together for the first time, How We Talked and Common Folks celebrate the spirit of an acclaimed Appalachian writer.

Future of Knowledge
Verna Allee, whose groundbreaking book 'The Knowledge Evolution' helped usher in the exploding field of knowledge management, has brought her experience-tested insights into an exciting new synthesis, penetrating to the very heart of value creation.

With a gift for making the complex simple and practical, Allee weaves together diverse threads such as business webs, communities of practice, knowledge technologies, intangibles, network analysis, and biology to show why organizations must be supported as living systems before their natural networked pattern of organization can emerge. Embodying Allee's visionary approach, 'The Future of Knowledge' brings forward a practical view of new theories, frameworks, tools, and methods offering businesses a guide to managing the increasing levels of complexity within their organizations and in society at large.'The Future of Knowledge' works on many levels:* At the strategic level, the new tools are intangible scorecards and understanding value networks* At the tactical level, the knowledge management tools for exchanging and applying knowledge are knowledge networks and communities of practice* At the operational level, a wealth of new technologies is supporting the codification, storage and delivery of the knowledge people need to complete their routine tasks.

Dream of God
A beloved teacherhelps modern people live the Bible’s message more fully. Respected teacher and author Verna Dozier explores the ways thathumanity and the institutional church have strayed far from Jesus’s originalmessage. To help us get back on track, she examines the Bible: a theologicaland historical record of hundreds of years in which two communities of faith(Jewish and early Christian) explored their own life experiences. Our task nowis not to ask which interpretations are correct, but to ask “what did it meanto them” and “what does it mean for us?” Dozier encourages us to seeChristianity not as creed or institution, but as “the vision of a newpossibility for human life rooted in an ancient understanding of God and livedout by a Nazarene carpenter.”Through adept storytelling and study, Dozierreawakens our sense of calling and our desire for truth.
