Dreams Of Rescue

Humorous essays by the Pulitzer Prize–winning “supreme satirist” (The Washington Post Book World). This collection of more than a hundred anecdotes and essays from the legendary journalist, New York Times columnist, and author of the bestselling memoir Growing Up offers wise and sharply witty reflections on an extraordinary array of topics, ranging from youth, wealth, the media, and the joy of anger to the difference between “dinner” and “supper.” “Russell Baker is the Alka-Seltzer of the American experience. . . . The most effective comic relief available for the agonizing absurdities we encounter every day.” —Houston Chronicle “When it comes to satire of a controlled but effervescent ferocity, nobody can touch Baker.” —The Washington Post Book World

One broken heart. One battered soul. No one said life would be fair or easy. Quiet, Peruvian-born artist Cassie Lopez learned this the hard way. Betrayed by the man she planned to marry, she shut herself off as far away from all but her closest friend from college… Until the night Luke Denton came crashing into her Colorado mountain sanctuary with a vengeance. Confused by her heart's response to this kind and gentle man, Cassie pushes herself to help the cowboy recover quickly so she can send him on his way. But Luke’s patience and understanding threaten to break down the very defenses she needs to survive in this world after he's gone. Search-and-Rescue worker Luke, who lost his wife and unborn child in a tragic accident, also knows firsthand of the unfairness of life. He keeps his own nightmares at bay by focusing on his rescue activities, most recently adopting and working with abused and neglected horses. Can two wounded people find trust and love together? Do nightmares end where dreams come true? SPECIAL NOTE: This book contains a number of chapters that focus on the continuing journey of Adam and Karla Montague. Rather than publish it as a separate short novel, Kallypso Masters chose to incorporate them into Luke and Cassie’s story. But it’s a bonus for readers who get an enormous book—for a much longer Rescue Me Saga visit with some of the couples you love!

Here is a much-needed, easy-to-understand, and eminently practical guide to understand and to interpret dreams. Frequently, dreams reveal essential facts about a patient's current problems, character, physical and mental health, personal history, innermost conflicts, fantasy life, and ego strength. The accuracy of the therapist's interpretations of these dreams may significantly affect the progress of the therapy. Dr. Grinstein systematically presents Freud's basic rules and suggestions regarding dream interpretation in clinical practice. He discusses the various viewpoints from which dream elements are to be considered throughout the course of therapy, from the initial or early phases of treatment to the termination phase. Attention is given to symbols, both sexual and nonsexual, to the various means of representation in dreams, and to typical dreams, both with constant meanings and a variety of meanings. -- From publisher's description.

Employing current work in gender studies, psychoanalysis, and literary criticism and focusing on Emily Dickinson, Marianne Moore, Elizabeth Bishop, Sylvia Plath, and Adrienne Rich, the author delineates an alternative tradition of American women poets, what Diehl calls the American Counter-Sublime. "This is the best book on American women poets I have yet seen." American Literature. "... sophisticated and eloquently argued analysis of a female counter-sublime..." Sandra Gilbert. "... strong readings of Dickinson and Moore and... a vital polemic on behalf of feminist criticism." Harold Bloom. "This brilliant re-evaluation of major American women poets will be indispensable reading... A stunning and a magisterial achievement." Susan Gubar. "... a powerful thesis... a book that is as rich as it is dense in meaning." The Women's Review of Books.
