In "Educating by Story-Telling," Katherine Dunlap Mrs. Cather presents an insightful exploration into the art of narrative as a pedagogical tool. The book deftly intertwines storytelling with educational theory, demonstrating how narratives can enhance understanding, retention, and moral reasoning in learners, particularly in early education.

Praise for Berkeley Noir "Each story evokes the dark side of a Berkeley neighborhood and pays tribute both to the city''s history as a haven for outcasts and as a literary metropolis. If you race through it, consider picking up San Francisco Noir and Oakland Noir." — Diablo Magazine, a Top Ticket choice "In "Lucky Day," Thomas Burchfield reveals the evil that can come when a well-meaning aide breaks his boss''s cardinal rule never to allow patrons into the library early. A worried mom from Holloway wangles her son a prized place in the Berkeley school district in Aya de León''s "Frederick Douglass Elementary." . . . . J.M. Curet''s "Wifebeater Tank Top," the tale with the firmest criminal pedigree, is the most violent, but its poetic language and come-from-nowhere ending make it the best." — Kirkus Reviews "The 16 stories set in Berkeley, Calif., in this above average Akashic noir anthology offer little actual noir but a heaping helping of crime, with almost every entry featuring at least a murder or kidnapping . . . . Readers will be glad that many of these tales are fun in a way that traditional noir isn''t." — Publishers Weekly

Little is at it seems on the high seas when a magical book wreaks havoc on a luxury yacht. The Team saves on flight costs as the newest mystery happens around the corner. A tip from a local antiquarian doesn’t make it to the Team in time and they are left with a once-bookstore-now-rubble-pile, a missing magical tome, and very few clues beyond a helpful tour guide (one might even say too helpful . . .). Tracking the missing book to a luxury yacht, the Team gets less of the high-end boating experience and more of the demon-on-the-loose nightmare. All aboard the Fair Weather; but no smooth sailing ahead. This episode is brought to you by team-writer Margaret Dunlap and introduces readers (and our heroine) to not only the true dangers of Bookburning, but to mysterious secrets even cloudier than the Societas Librium Occultorum.

In 1949, when attorney Mary M. Dunlap moved her law practice and her young children from urban Denver, Colorado to their new home in Albuquerque, New Mexico she had no idea what was waiting for her, starting literally at the first stoplight in town. Her career would span more than forty years, bringing her into daily contact with crafty politicians, pueblo Indians, justices of the peace, and an improbable cast of clients—from nuclear scientists and Ziegfeld Follies stars to arsonists, hoboes, and petty criminals. And, to make life more interesting, she and her husband and their children ran a small farm at the same time. The days started early, the work was hard, and then it was time to go to the office, where the day was long, the work was hard, and then it was time to go home. She recalled that she was challenged by men who said that she couldn’t be a real lawyer because she was a woman, or had calluses on her hands or because she drove a pickup. They all changed their minds once they got into court.
