New Releases by Pamela Smith

Pamela Smith Hill delves into Laura Ingalls Wilder''s Little House novels, examining their texts, characters, settings, and themes to reveal how the books forever changed the literary landscape of children''s and young adult literature in ways that remain meaningful today.

In the end, everyone grieves; but most of us do it privately. Underneath the exterior "bucking up," however, there are steps we all take and retake. We slowly let it sink in that life has changed and will never be quite the same. We select what is important to remember even while we fear we will forget. In this unique and compelling book, Pamela Smith, SS.C.M.--no stranger to her own grief and that of others--offers practical ideas to help us "suffer our sorrows" in ways that allow us to become "kinder, better, gentler people" in the process. Using the contemporary American-language translation of the scriptures from The Message Bible translation by Eugene Peterson, especially the Book of Lamentations and the Letters of Paul, Smith offers a biblical and practical pathway to get to the place where "ain't no one or nobody gonna steal my happy," as one grieving woman put it to the author years ago. Each short chapter offers down-to-Earth insights into the nature of grief, suggestions for dealing effectively with it, a short original prayer, and provocative questions for personal reflection and discussion with others.

Nursey rhymes connect us to the past, present, and future.They link our childhood with our heirs. Their musical rhythm has the power to entertain and comfort. They are a wondersful way to introduce children to the joys of reading. Many are based on political and religious upheaval. Their repetitive nature explores the aspects of daily life, scandals, and gossip from past generations. These silly tales bring joy to all ages and smiles to all faces.

I give God all the glory. I'm truly Blessed N Highly Favored. Thank you for your support of my first book, with many more to come. Pamela Smith

This guide and activity book complements Barbara Ayosea Morse’s Tales from Squnch Valley. It is for parents, teachers, child-care workers, counselors, and therapists who work with children of all ages and abilities across cultures. The book offers movement, visualization, art, and writing exercises while also enhancing language development and social skills. Though written for children in grades K-6, activities may also be adapted for younger children, adolescents, and even adults. The Squnch tales and related activities are appropriate for use in both traditional and home-school settings, as well as for distance-learning. Staff in outpatient and residential treatment centers will also find them to be an excellent resource. Because of tensions among various groups in our society, books with universal characters, such as Squnches, are greatly needed. The Squnch tales teach children the value of living in harmony with one another and with nature in today’s challenging and ever-changing world.

In 1820, the Catholic Diocese of Charleston was established, and Bishop John England arrived from Ireland. His new diocese encompassed North and South Carolina, Georgia and, for a time, Haiti. From 1859 to 1885, when Patrick Lynch and Henry Northrop were bishops of Charleston, the diocese included the Bahama Islands. However, the history of Catholics in the diocese--which now covers all of South Carolina--began much earlier. The arrival of Spanish settlers and missionary priests dated back more than 150 years before there was a diocese on American soil. Sister Pam Smith charts the history of the diocese from the first words of prayer uttered on Santa Elena in the sixteenth century through the interfaith singing of a reformed slaveholder''s hymn at a painful funeral in the twenty-first century.

Poems about Africa, Vietnam, elephants, love, yoga, the chakras, a meditation, prayers. Poems about healing, transforming, questioning, accepting, seeing anew. Beloving overflows with poems and over 60 photo''s which Pam created while she lived in Lusaka, Zambia, Harare, Zimbabwe, Hanoi, Vietnam and her farm in Maryland

Since the time of Aristotle, the making of knowledge and the making of objects have generally been considered separate enterprises. Yet during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, the two became linked through a "new" philosophy known as science. In The Body of the Artisan, Pamela H. Smith demonstrates how much early modern science owed to an unlikely source-artists and artisans. From goldsmiths to locksmiths and from carpenters to painters, artists and artisans were much sought after by the new scientists for their intimate, hands-on knowledge of natural materials and the ability to manipulate them. Drawing on a fascinating array of new evidence from northern Europe including artisans'' objects and their writings, Smith shows how artisans saw all knowledge as rooted in matter and nature. With nearly two hundred images, The Body of the Artisan provides astonishingly vivid examples of this Renaissance synergy among art, craft, and science, and recovers a forgotten episode of the Scientific Revolution-an episode that forever altered the way we see the natural world.

Sports psychiatry uses psychological, neuroscientific, and medical knowledge to address optimal performance and the well-being of athletes. The -mental game- refers not only to a mind that has been conditioned through mental skills training for optimal performance, but also to a broader mindset that includes an awareness of psychosocial issues and mental conditions that potentially impact optimal performance. In Improving Your Mental Game, author Dr. Pamela Smith presents a practical, concise, and convenient pocket guide geared toward college and professional athletes, coaches, and athletic trainers. It covers a host of topics including: - core psychological techniques for improving athletic performance such as imagery, goal setting, self-talk, and relaxation; - tips and exercises for managing focus, negative self-talk, pressure, daily learning and growth, commitment, self-defeating distractions, fear, motivation, riding the bench, taking responsibility, controlling emotions, self-belief and confidence, trust and consistency, and pregame warm-up; - psychosocial issues impacting performance such as team cohesion, managing team conflict, coping with injury, and end of career issues; - mental conditions associated with the competitive sports environment like anxiety, depression, substance abuse, concussion, and eating disorders; - banned substances; - athletes with disabilities; and - brain health maintenance - i.e. sleep & nutrition for optimal brain & neuromuscular function.

Their fundamental right to mental health and happiness can be compromised. In Mental Health Care in Settings Where Mental Health Resources Are Limited, author Pamela Smith MD presents a handbook for community and hospital-based health providers who work in remote or impoverished areas in developed and developing countries. Designed to be used as a concise, easy-reference source, it provides an outline of core concepts and basic interventions in mental health care. This guide addresses conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance abuse, dementia, child and adolescent issues, violence, and HIV/AIDS and mental health. Smith also provides insights on the recent state of mental health care worldwide and the means for increasing access to care in resource-limited areas. Mental Health Care in Settings Where Mental Health Resources Are Limited communicates how providing mental health care training to health workers and raising awareness among other individuals within these challenged communities serves as a significant means not only to improving access to care but also to preserving human rights and dignity.

Mark Time: A Gospel for the Hurried is a collection of meditations on the shortest and oldest gospel in the New Testament. The 61 reflections here retell Mark’s rapid-fire action story of Jesus of Nazareth from the perspective of faith and also from the perspective of contemporary stresses. With introductory and concluding comments, the text points to the way in which the teachings and actions of Christ are as relevant to the challenges of the 21st century as they were to the situations of people living 2,000 years ago. Those who have 15 or 20 minutes a day can plan on a two-month journey with the Lord and his Good News.

This collection of 20 poems is spoken in the voice of a character named Rosa Celestina Morales, a 17 year old Puerto Rican girl living in South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in the early 1970s. Rosa''s hopes and dreams, frustrations and torments are expressed in a mix of street talk, self-mumbling, and phrases from familiar prayers in Spanish, imported from the Spanish Mass and the first 20 psalms. The content is drawn from the author''s own experiences during the year she lived in Rosa''s neighborhood as well as from stories she heard and people she met around the neighborhood. Several of these poems have appeared previously in the New York Quarterly, Cimarron Review, and Woman Song III. This is the first time the set of 20 have been collected in book form. The work is framed as a poetic memoir. A prose introduction by the author and an afterword in Rosa''s voice round out the series of poems and project what Rosa''s life might have turned to some forty years later.
