In 1994, JoAnna Lund self-published her first book, The Healthy Exchanges(r) Cookbook, with a two-thousand-dollar loan from her local bank and the determination to bring her message of hope to the countless people seeking to "live healthy in the real world." Today, JoAnna's books total more than one million copies in print, and her easy-to-prepare, healthy recipes have won the hearts of home cooks across the country. But more than just healthy recipes have attracted this legion of fans to the self-proclaimed Diet Queen of DeWitt, Iowa. Over the years, JoAnna has shared her common-folk wisdom through her personal appearances and public lectures, her television and radio shows, and in her books and newsletter. Now that wisdom is distilled in String of Pearls. Like pearls, the insights revealed in this book are precious; each has been polished by hard work, and burnished by experience. And while each may be beautiful alone, when taken together, they create a vision of beauty, strength, and durability. Yet String of Pearls is as practical, down-to-earth, and full of common sense as JoAnna herself. With this book, she helps readers feel good about themselves and focus on the truly important and enduring things in their lives.

One of the most popular novelists of the twentieth century, winner of a Pulitzer and Nobel Prize for Literature and an active social and political campaigner, particularly in the field of women's issues and Asian-American relations, Pearl Buck has, until now, remained 'hidden in public view'. Best known, perhaps, as the prolific author of The Good Earth, Buck led a career which extended well beyond her eighty works of fiction and non-fiction and deep into the public sphere. In this critically acclaimed biography, Peter Conn retrieves Pearl Buck from the footnotes of literary and cultural history and reinstates her as a figure of compelling and uncommon significance in twentieth-century literary, cultural and political history.

This book differs from most previous studies of the Pearl poet by treating all of his works as a whole. Prior’s purpose is to identify the underlying poetics of this major body of English poetry. Drawing on both the visual imagery of medieval art (the study includes 18 full-page illustrations) and the verbal imagery of the Bible and other literary sources, Prior shows how the poet’s "fayre formez" are the result of a coherent and self-conscious view of the artist’s craft.

To enhance interest, narrative, and readability, each chapter uses a consistent format to present a common clinical challenge along with an effective therapeutic response and discussion of relevant theoretical and empirically validated principles.
