Are you looking to live happily ever after? Are you looking to live the perfect life? Then look no further. It is right here, in this moment. Don't believe it or have some doubt about making living happily sustainable? Then Be Human, Be Happy, Be YOU! is for you. Society, work, and family don't make it easy to live life at ease. Whenever we experience overwhelm, stress, and uncertainty, our aim is to distract ourselves and only focus on what brings us positive vibes. What if operating that way is only getting us further away from what makes us happy? Being happy goes way beyond what we do and our relationships. It's the connection and understanding we have about ourselves. Embracing all the facets that make us us, likes and dislikes, we can, one, unconditionally love ourselves and, two, create a new relationship with the world around us. Raditia applies her own stories and lessons learned in the realm of mindfulness to create a new relationship with ourselves and invites us to use our innate resources of love, a little smile, and a quick hello as a first step, and expands on more practices to live life with more lightness, freedom, and ease.

In Through the Lens of Humanity, we are invited to accompany Mark Anderson on his humanitarian and spiritual journeys into a world of unfamiliar countries and cultures, where the marvels of beauty and shared community often clash with unspeakable tragedies of poverty, war and intolerance. Drawn from Anderson's own experiences, we are privy to conversations with some of the most notable humanitarian icons of the 20th and 21st centuries-Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, and through the remembrances of Dr. Margrietha van der Kreek, Dr. Albert Schweitzer of Lambarene, Gabon, Central Africa. Anderson's personal reflections are compelling and powerful as he describes medical mission journeys to desolate Africa to deliver an ambulance to a remote mission hospital and lead a youth mission trip to a distant and isolated African village in Zambia. And his accounts of visits to war-torn Sarajevo and Kabul, Afghanistan to deliver much-needed medical supplies and to help provide medical education and training to Afghanistan's medical professionals to combat the world's highest maternal and infant death rates are searing examples of the immensity of human challenge in many parts of the world. Through the Lens of Humanity pays tribute to the spirit of adventure and offers tales of the radiance of the human spirit within all of us as it also reminds us of how much work still needs to be done if ours is to be a more decent and humane world.

As the title reveals, Edith Covensky's world exists on or in the ever-shifting borders between reality and non-reality. It affirms the value of both, even while recognizing that the mind is tugging toward reality and the imagination is resisting it. The clarity with which Covensky presents this struggle is unmatched in contemporary poetry. Once we understand the terms of Agon, namely the conflict between the primary forces of reality pitted against fiction, this poetry practically speaks for itself. Consider the following: My words quiverResembling the night's lanternAnd the web of silent starsConcealing my poemExplicitNaked spread out on the pageLike a missiveLike a deceitPlaying among thousands of words(First stanza of A Reality that is Not)

Published in the 50th anniversary year of the landmark Title IX gender equity legislation becoming law, "The Right Thing to Do" is both a chronicle of the rise of women's intercollegiate athletics in the United States and a biography of one of the movement's leaders, Kit Saunders-Nordeen, the first director of women's athletics at the University of Wisconsin and vice president of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW). When Kit arrived on the Madison campus for graduate school in 1964, competitive athletics for women was actively discouraged. The longtime director of women's physical education at UW-Madison, Blanche Trilling, had been a national voice in advocating participation, but never competition, for women collegians. Across the next decade, Kit changed hearts and minds, establishing a vibrant non-varsity women's sports program at UW. It took some doing. Funds for travel and uniforms were so scarce the athletes sold Christmas trees and did odd jobs to help. The passage of Title IX in 1972 - requiring universities receiving federal funds to not discriminate by gender - provided a boost. Kit was named the UW's first director of women's intercollegiate athletics in 1974, signaling varsity status for women. But Title IX was not a panacea. In 1979, seven years after it became law, the UW women's crew famously changed clothes outside men's athletic director Elroy Hirsch's office because they still didn't have a locker room. A short time later, as women's programs continued to grow, the NCAA - having ignored women's athletics for years - moved to usurp the AIAW, resulting in a bitter battle. Against this backdrop of administrative struggle and intrigue, the young women athletes shined. UW produced celebrated stars like Carie Graves (crew) and Cindy Bremser (track), while earning early national championships in crew and cross-country. The public took notice. In 1990, a women's volleyball match in Madison drew nearly 11,000 fans. Kit Saunders-Nordeen watched that match from the stands with tears in her eyes. Her story, alongside the larger narrative of women intercollegiate athletes refusing to be denied and emerging triumphant, will stir any reader who cares about sports and fair play - on and off the field. As Judy Sweet, the first woman president of the NCAA, who as a student was mentored by Kit in Madison, writes in the book's foreword: "We must remain vigilant and ensure that our daughters have the same opportunities and support as our sons."

Yehuda Amichai (born in Germany on May 3, 1924, and died in Jerusalem on September 22, 2000) was undoubtedly the most prominent and equally paramount Israeli poet during the last half century. His major poetic innovation was to part from lofty poetry and replace it with poetry that consists of simplicity when it comes to vocabulary, syntax, meter and rhyme, and rhythm. Simplicity is the name of his poetic game. Yet that simplicity does not eclipse nor cloud the inner sophistication which his poetry cultivates and displays.Dr. Yair Mazor is a professor-emeritus of modern Hebrew and Biblical literature at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
