One of my favorite books! I knew nothing about this book, and chose it only because it fit a category for a Book Club I'm in. Now that I've finished it, I am running out to get Michelle Moran's first book! I have always loved reading about Egypt, but I think that even if this book was set somewhere else I would have still loved it. Michelle Moran's writing was amazing, as was her ability to tell a story. I found myself completely attached to the characters immediately and was unable to put the book down. In the back of the book I read that she took a lot of literary liberties when writing this book. I thought that she did a great job and that they all fit well with the context of the story, as well as the context of the characters and history truth in the novel.

DJ Schwenk lives with her family on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. Because of an accident that hurt her dad’s hip, she’s forced to do most of the work on the farm, even though she’s only a junior in high school. DJ’s real passion, though, is football. She spent many hours with her older brothers playing and learning about the game, and hoping for wins for the Red Bend High football team against their arch-rivals, Hawley. When the Hawley quarterback shows up at the Schwenk farm with orders from his coach to help with the farmwork for the summer, DJ is at first hostile (with good reason) towards him. But DJ and Brian from Hawley build a friendship during the summer, and DJ begins to heal the relationships between herself and her dysfunctional family. I enjoyed the football parts of the book, and after spending some time in Wisconsin farm country this summer, I had a great picture of the Schwenk farm in my head. DJ is a very likeable character (and an excellent narrator), and the story moves along at a good pace. All in all, Dairy Queen was a good read.

I'd recommend this book, an exploration of the cumulative effect of trauma exposure on service providers and other folks involved in trying to save the planet. It's getting a 4 just because it started out pretty rationally, with lots of profiles and cartoons, but the second half took a turn and got more spiritual, which would lose some of the folks I was thinking of recommending it to. But valuable concepts, nonetheless. The front cover has a Langston Hughes quote from "The Dream Keeper": "Bring me all of your dreams, you dreamers, bring me all of your heart melodies That I may wrap them in a blue cloud-cloth Away from the too-rough fingers of the world" --"I finally came to understand that my exposure to other people's trauma had changed me on a fundamental level. There had been an osmosis: I had absorbed and accumulated trauma to the point that it had become part of me, and my view of the world had changed." (p 3) --"In the fields where I work, there is historically a widely held belief that if you're tough enough and cool enough and committed to your cause enough, you'll keep on keeping on, you'll suck it up: Self-care is for the weaker set." (p 3) --"Those who support trauma stewardship believe that both joy and pain are realities of life, and that suffering can be transformed into meaningful growth and healing when a quality of presence is cultivated and maintained even in the face of great suffering." (p 11) --"Service rationing refers to the process that workers go through to bridge the everyday divide between the ideal of how they would work if they were free to function to the best of their ability and the reality of how they can work, given the numerous obstacles in their way." (p 22) --"once you know what it's like to be fueled by adrenaline on a consistent basis, it's hard to go back to a more measured and natural emotional state. We find that workplaces often adopt a very harried pace even when there's no crisis. Action for its own sake keeps people moving, makes them superficially productive, and limits their capacity for reflection about their lives. This becomes seductive, even to workers, because we can confuse being amped up, attending to crises (some of which create) , and having a sense of being needed with being fully awake, living life, and being effective." (p 106) --"I run the risk, as we all do, of relying too much on my work for my sense of esteem. When that happens, I can start to feel dependent on other people's suffering and their need for me to relieve it, for my own feeling of purpose." (p 113) --"When we keep ourselves numbed out on adrenaline or overworking or cynicism, we don't have an accurate internal gauge of ourselves and our needs." (p 131) --"What humans often do to reconcile this lack of control is to create and re-create situations as similar to the traumatic incident as possible. We seek to turn a traumatic situation in which we once felt powerless into a new situation where we feel competent and in charge. We tell ourselves that this time there will be a different outcome. Or so we hope." (p 156) --"...your core self is not what you do for work. Rumi, the 13th-century Persian jurist, theologian, and poet, wrote, "Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love." (p 181) --"It is also a very good plan every now and then to go away and have a little relaxation, for when you come back to the work, your judgment will be surer, since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose the power of judgment. It is also advisable to go some distance away, because then the work appears smaller, and more of it is taken in at a glance, and a lack of harmony or proportion in the various parts and the colors of the objects is more readily seen." (Leonardo da Vinci, p 211) --"Viewing our most challenging relationships as our teachers can help make bleak times bearable. It also roots us in humility and graciousness, which is much better than arrogance and indignation." (p 223) The puglisher, Berrett-Koehler, says they offer quantity discounts for orders of 10 copies or more. 800-929-29292 or [email protected]

Read this book in preparation for a trip to the Galapagos. Easy flowing account of research done over the years by the Grants to support Darwin's theory of evolution. Explains results in a understandable story-like way with plenty of quirky details about the researchers and students involved to make anyone want to drop what they're doing and go to Las Encantadas.

A fun, classic book to read. Perfect for the ADD-set mind since reading each chapter felt like reading a short story.

Personally I find micro history a much more fascinating methodological approach than macro history. Actually, it's a bit of both: I like to gain an overall appreciation of a period or topic first before examining it in detail and finding out what it was like for those who lived through it. But I find the second part the most interesting. Enemy at The Gates is the most compelling, disturbing, and brilliantly written attempt to relate what being involved in brutal, relentless, close quarter combat is like for those involved and how it affects them. For (the vast majority) of us fighting street to street and house to house in an attempt to gain control of a city that is exploding and burning around us isn't something we can comprehend, but Craig uses diaries, letters and first hand accounts of the battle from both sides to give us an insight into the conditions of such a situation and the truly terrifying personal cost it has on its participants. Often it feels like you're reading a novel, particularly during the most intense phases, before you remember and appreciate the fact that this actually happened in exactly this way to these people, and it's a sobering thought.
