The beginner's goodbye : a novel
Tyler, Anne.
New York : Alfred A. Knopf, c2012.
"Anne Tyler gives us a wise, haunting, and deeply moving new novel in which she explores how a middle-aged man, ripped apart by the death of his
wife, is gradually restored by her frequent appearances--in their house, on
the roadway, in the market. Crippled in his right arm and leg, Aaron has spent
his childhood fending off a sister who wants to manage him. So when he meets
Dorothy, a plain, outspoken, independent young woman, she is like a breath of
fresh air.
Unhesitatingly, he marries her, and they have a relatively happy, unremarkable
marriage. But when a tree crashes into their house and Dorothy is killed,
Aaron feels as though he has been erased forever. Only Dorothy's unexpected
appearances from the dead help him to live in the moment and to find some
peace.
Gradually he discovers, as he works in the family's vanity-publishing
business, turning out titles that presume to guide beginners through the
trials of life, that maybe for this beginner there is a way of saying goodbye.
A beautiful, subtle exploration of loss and recovery, pierced throughout with
Anne Tyler's humor, wisdom, and always penetrating look at human foibles"--

The grey album ; on the blackness of blackness
Young, Kevin.
Minneapolis, Minn. : Graywolf Press, c2012.
"Taking its title from Danger Mouse's pioneering mashup of Jay-Z's The Black Album and the Beatles' The White Album, Kevin Young's encyclopedic book
combines essay, cultural criticism, and lyrical choruses to illustrate the
African American tradition of lying-telling tales, fibbing, improvising,
jazzing up, "storying." What emerges is a persuasive argument for the many
ways that African American culture is American culture, and for the centrality
of art-and artfulness-to our daily lives. Moving from gospel to soul, funk to
freestyle, Young shifts through the shadows, the bootleg, the remix-all the
grey areas of our history, literature, and music."--P. 4 of cover.

The history of Iran
Daniel, Elton L.
Santa Barbara, Calif. : Greenwood, c2012.
This survey of Iran's historical development covers everything from its origins in ancient empires to its status as a modern nation-state. Iran, also
known as Persia, has over 2500 years of history. It is one of the world's
first truly multicultural empires, and modern day Iran is based upon one of
the world's oldest continuous civilizations. Today, Iran is populated by over
74 million residents, and 10 percent of the world's oil reserves are within
its borders. Iran is a vast country with a storied, ancient past, a great
diversity of cultures and ethnicities, and a location in arguably the most
unstable area of the world. Iran's history over the last two centuries,
developing as a modern nation-state, freeing itself from foreign domination,
and asserting its influence in both the region and the world, has been
particularly fascinating.
This title gives an overview of Iranian history. It is intended to acquaint
readers with the important events and personalities that have shaped that long
history. In this second edition, the author has thoroughly revised the
original content and has added two new chapters, one of which is dedicated to
Iran in the 21st century. Particular attention is paid to explaining the
forces that led to the revolution of 1979 and the establishment of the Islamic
Republic of Iran, as well as the controversies of its domestic and foreign
policies.

Life upon these shores : looking at African American history, 1513- 2008
Gates, Henry Louis.
New York : Alfred A. Knopf, 2011.
"Henry Louis Gates, Jr., gives us a sumptuously illustrated, landmark book tracing African American history from the arrival of the conquistadors to
the election of Barack Obama. Informed by the latest, sometimes provocative
scholarship, and including more than eight hundred images--ancient maps, art,
documents, photographs, cartoons, posters--Life Upon These Shores focuses on
defining events, debates, and controversies, as well as the achievements of
people famous and obscure. Gates takes us from the sixteenth century through
the ordeal of slavery, from the Civil War and Reconstruction through the Jim
Crow era and the Great Migration; from the civil rights and black nationalist
movements through the age of hip-hop on to the Joshua generation. By
documenting and illuminating the sheer diversity of African American
involvement in American history, society, politics, and culture, Gates
bracingly disabuses us of the presumption of a single "Black Experience." Life
Upon These Shores is a book of major importance, a breathtaking tour de force
of the historical imagination"-- Provided by publisher.

Teachers matter : rethinking how public schools identify, reward, and retain great educators
Winters, Marcus A.
Lanham : Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2012.
"Most of us have had at least one amazing teacher who has inspired, influenced, or encouraged us to do better, aim higher, or just be more
confident. However, most of us have also had at least one teacher who has not
met our expectations. In Teachers Matter, education researcher Marcus A.
Winters,
a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, argues that our failure to
identify
and reward high-quality teachers has been devastating for public school
students. The question is how do we sort out the good teachers form the bad?
Winters shows the shortcomings of the current system that relies on
credentials
and longevity and spells out a series of reforms based on results achieved in
the classroom. For the first time, standardized test results offer an
objective,
reliable measure of student proficiency that can be tied to an individual
teacher. Sure to be controversial, Winters's plan will be of interest to the
education community, policy makers, and parent concerned about the future of
education in America"-- Provided by publisher.

Work at home now : the no-nonsense guide to finding your perfect home- based job, avoiding scams, and making a great living
Durst, Christine, 1963-
Franklin Lakes, NJ : Career Press, c2010.
From the Publisher: Many legitimate home-based jobs and projects can be
found online, but trustworthy guidance is scarce. Worse, with a 56-to-1 scam
ratio in work-at-home ads, the terrain is a minefield of fraud. Nevertheless,
customer service agents, researchers, test scorers, tutors, writers, and
concierges are just a few of the many people regularly hired to work from
home.
A growing number of Fortune 500 companies, including UnitedHealth Group,
American Express, and Northrop Grumman, also hire home-based personnel. In
Work
at Home Now, you'll learn: The top insider tips on good and bad Google search
terms. How to find the "needles in the haystack" on Craigslist, Indeed,
Monster,
CareerBuilder, and other big sites. Where the real jobs for mystery shoppers,
transcriptionists, and similar part-time specialties can be found. Scam-
spotting tips that even law enforcement doesn't know. Including interviews
with
hiring managers and successful home-based workers, Work at Home Now is the
ultimate guide to finding the work-at-home job or project you want most.
