Allen American Dimensions

"If you really knew me, you would not like me!" This is the refrain playing over and over in the heads of so many human beings. I know very few dogs and cats, almost no birds and not one elk or deer who think this way. Corollaries to the above are, "I am not good enough," "I can't do it right." This is the junk that occupies space and time in our weary minds and keeps us from being the best and most comfortable human beings we can be. These negative recordings come from long ago, infiltrating our brains from birth, probably prior to, and indefinitely into adulthood. Shut off the valve that indiscriminately allows the negative and critical to enter, uninvited, into the fiber of your being!

We were tiny little impressionable beings when our parents' propaganda, demonstrated or spoken, began making its way into and through us, eventually becoming ours. Said propaganda is really part of them, the parental units, but since we were "clean slates" as short people, we adopted it as part of us. Hmmm. Simple solution? Do not accept the parts we do not want. Simple, not easy.

To become ourselves, we human beings must all accomplish the task of differentiating from our parents. Under ideal circumstances, we keep what we can use and leave the rest, easy to do with obvious behaviors, opinions and thoughts, like, say, food choices. As soon as we are old enough to recognize differences in how and what people eat, we can chose to eat the way our parents do or not. One daughter of parents who are both hunters became vegetarian at age twelve. She remained a complete non-meat eater until age twenty when she apparently felt she had made her statement and could chose for herself. Now, much to their dismay, her hunter parents provide game for her and her family as she has become, like them, an omnivore! She gave herself the choice.

Less obvious are the covert messages about self-worth that begin with how we are treated, and how the adults and older children in our life treat us and each other. Constant criticism says simply that we have little or no value. Likewise, if mom and dad are always too busy, either physically absent at work or play, or emotionally absent, doing housework, watching TV or drinking, the message to the short people, even when they grow tall, is clear: you are not worth my time and attention. My TV, alcohol, work or whatever I am doing is more important than you.

Conversely, in families where there is regular, positive, focused attention, emphasis on positive, the message is equally clear: you are so valuable that I put you before everything else. I have time for you. I will listen to you, help you, answer your questions, respect you and be with you. Add appropriate boundaries and discipline, requiring everyone to treat everyone else with respect, expecting children to do School Work and chores. Model love and respect for your spouse and everyone else, providing role models and examples for the kind of adult you hope they will become, and you have a template for a healthy family. In this setting, children have a chance to grow up with good self esteem.

There is a very old saying that you don't have to be the perfect parent, just a good enough one. Children need and deserve positive parental time and attention and the consequences are dramatic, determining how children feel about themselves and the kind of adults they become.

Constantly critical of yourself? Rarely feel confident, comfortable and content in everyday life? Doubtful that anyone approves of you? Not your fault! You are probably a victim of childhood criticism, putdowns and emotional unavailability, and perhaps outright abuse, physical, emotional, verbal or sexual. You did not get the focused, positive attention and healthy family described above. Unless you are now getting some help and changing out the old messages about yourself, you are probably not in a lot of healthy, satisfying relationships either.

The solution? Take a risk and pretend to accept yourself. Act as if you are valuable and eventually you will believe it. Adopt the philosophy from the poster that says, "God Don't Make No Junk". Risk more and let other people into your life. Risk even more and allow them to love you. Risk the most and love them! Allow God into your life and let Him love you (low risk). Pray for self-acceptance. Be kind to yourself and others. Do not complain, criticize, judge and spread negativity. Get some help from an experienced therapist or consultant, attend a support group, do affirmations, change! Just be the person your dog thinks you are!

Allen Park $18.98 Allen Parks history begins when Native Americans hunted, fished, and paddled their canoes along the banks of Ecorse Creek. The French were among the earliest settlers, and after the land was cleared, German farmers arrived. Ecorse Township, known today as Downriver, was divided into seven different cities, and Allen Park was born. Once characterized as a lazy, farming hamlet, Allen Parks residents were the most influential in developing the Village of Allen Park out of Ecorse Township, in 1927, and worked to become the City of Allen Park in 1957. Henry Fords $5 workday prompted many farmers to sell to developers and go to work for Ford. Hungarians, Poles, Italians, and Armenians moved in, becoming the major ethnic groups within the community. Among the citys celebrities there have been writers, radio and sports personalities, cartoonists, and fashion designers. Towering over the Interstate 94 corridor in Allen Park, the Uniroyal Giant Tire has become an American icon, and although the Veterans Administration medical center is gone, it will forever live in residents hearts. Enjoy the citys story, gathered from the files of the Allen Park Historical Museum.

Dimensions of Possession $125 Few linguistic concepts are more elusive than ‘possession’. The present collection of articles, selected from an international workshop held in Copenhagen in May 1998, confronts the subject from several angles (lexicon; the semantics of possession and the verb HAVE; the syntax of genitives and other possessive structures; the interaction of verbal and nominal constructions; the semantic and textual implications of the alienable/inalienable distinction, etc.) and approaches (formal semantics; functional semantics; and syntax as diachronic and typological comparisons). The languages covered include both European languages such as Danish, French, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese and Latin, and several American, Australian, African and Asian languages. This volume in which the contributing scholars have sought to examine as many 'dimensions' as possible is of interest to all linguists, in particular those working in the field of typology and functional approaches to language.

Dimensions of the Sacred $36.98 A world-renowned religion scholar explores the world's major religions and comparable secular systems of thought in this unusually wide-ranging and accessible work. Ninian Smart considers Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shintoism, as well as Marxist-Leninism, Maoism, nationalism, and Native American, African, and other systems of belief. His goal is to advance our understanding of how we as human beings interact thoughtfully with the cosmos and express the exigencies of our own nature and existence. Smart demonstrates that diverse systems of belief reflect several recurring themes: the tendency to worship, the contemplative life, story-telling, a view of history, ethical instruction, guidelines on bodily practices, rituals, and visual icons. He examines each of these themes in relation to specific belief systems. He points out that religions and comparable worldviews should be studied at least as much through their practices as through their beliefs. The result of twenty-five years of research, this comprehensive book is nothing less than an analysis of the entire pattern of human spiritual life, viewed through what Smart calls "the grammar of symbols, the modes and forms in which religion manifests itself."

Ethan Allen at Ticonderoga During the American War of Independence $17.98 A patriot of the War of Independence Connecticut born Ethan Allen was a complex, ruthless, driven personality. He formed 'the Green Mountain Boys' who were little more than a gang of thugs intent on driving legitimate settlers off their land in New York to further his own business interests. Nevertheless he was also a patriot and politician with a clear sense of the potential of an emergent American nation. Allen was instrumental in the creation of state of Vermont. He was quick to respond as the War of Independence broke and in 1775 rapidly took the important fortification at Ticonderoga which had played such a pivotal role during the late French and Indian War. Allen was a canny self publicist and this account of the action at Ticonderoga is written in his own words. Available in softcover and hardcover with dust jacket

Terrible Terry Allen $13.99 Terry de la Mesa Allen’s mother was the daughter of a Spanish officer, and his father was a career U.S. Army officer. Despite this impressive martial heritage, success in the military seemed unlikely for Allen as he failed out of West Point—twice—ultimately gaining his commission through Catholic University’s R.O.T.C. program. In World War I, the young officer commanded an infantry battalion and distinguished himself as a fearless combat leader, personally leading patrols into no-man’s-land. In 1940, with another world war looming, newly appointed army chief of staff Gen. George C. Marshall reached down through the ranks and, ahead of almost a thousand more senior colonels, promoted Patton, Eisenhower, Allen, and other younger officers to brigadier general. For Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa, Allen, now a two-star general, commanded the Big Red One, the First Infantry Division, spearheading the American attack against the Nazis. Despite a stellar combat record, however, Major General Allen found himself in hot water with the big brass. Allen and his troops had become notorious for their lack of discipline off the battlefield. When Seventh Army commander George Patton was pressed by his deputy Omar Bradley to replace “Terrible Terry” before the invasion of Sicily, he demurred, favoring Allen’s success in combat. At the end of the Sicily campaign, with Allen’s protector Patton out of the way (relieved for slapping a soldier), Omar Bradley fired Allen and sent him packing back to the States, seemingly in terminal disgrace. Once again, however, George Marshall reached down and in October 1944, Terrible Terry was given command of another infantry division, the 104th Timberwolves and took it into heavy combat in Belgium. Hard fighting continued as Allen’s division spearheaded the U.S. First Army’s advance across Germany. On 26 April 1945, Terrible Terry Allen’s hard-charging Timberwolves became the first American outfit to link up with the Soviet Union’s Red Army. Terrible Terry Allen was one of the most remarkable American soldiers of World War II or any war. Hard bitten, profane, and combative, Allen disdained the “book,” but he knew how to wage war. He was a master of strategy, tactics, weaponry, and, most importantly, soldiers in combat. From the Hardcover edition.

American Image in Turkey: U.S. Foreign Policy Dimensions $60.98 Most recognize the importance of public opinion in foreign policy decisions in democracies. However, despite its importance to American security, the question of how American foreign policy has affected the views of foreign publics about the United States is seldom asked. Throughout "American Image in Turkey: U.S. Foreign Policy Dimensions," Giray Sadik explores the relationship between American foreign policy and Turkish public opinion about the United States since 9/11. In the post-9/11 era, Turkey was one of the earliest states to join the global coalition against terrorism, but American and Turkish cooperation in Afghanistan contrasts with their differences about Iraq, which destabilizes their strategic partnership. Sadik examines the effects of American military and economic aid, foreign direct investment (FDI), as well as bilateral trade between the United States and Turkey on Turkish public opinion about the United States, addressing how these tools can increase levels of favorable public opinion toward the United States. Sadik explains how different trends of U.S. military and economic policies toward Turkey translate into significantly different levels of influence on post-9/11 Turkish public opinion toward the United States. The implications of new geopolitical realities make explorations of the effects of foreign policy on public opinion all the more urgent.

Fred Allen's Radio Comedy $28.95 "A notable example of radio at its best." âBack Stage/SHOOT In 1954, James Thurber wrote: "You can count on the thumb of one hand the American who is at once a comedian, a humorist, a wit, and a satirist, and his name is Fred Allen." Several decades after his death and more than forty years since his radio program left the air, Fred Allenâs reputation as a respected humorist remains intact. In this book, Alan Havig explores the roots of his comedy, the themes it exploited, the problems and challenges that faced the radio comedy writer, and Allenâs unique success with the one-dimensional medium of radio. Tracing a career that lasted from 1912 into the 1950s and encompassed vaudeville, Broadway revues, movies, radio, and television, Havig describes the "verbal slapstick" style that was Fred Allenâs hallmark and legacy to American comedy. More than a biography of Fred Allen, this is a study of the development of the radio industry, a discussion of American humor, and the story of how one relates to the other. Using a wide variety of published and unpublished sources, including the Allen Papers, Havig analyzes Allenâs radio comedy of the 1930s and 40s within the context of the peculiar advantages and limitations of radio as a medium for comedy. He argues that Allen did not merely transfer vaudeville routines to a non-visual medium as did Eddie Cantor, Ed Wynn, and others. Allen developed a comedic style that depended on word play, sound effects, and on his audienceâs ability and readiness to imagine a visual world in which his eccentric characters operated. Havig illustrates his story with numerous examples of Allenâs humor, with fascinating anecdotes, and excerpts from radio broadcasts. In accounting for the comedianâs success, he deals with vaudeville, comedy writing, sponsorâs demands and censorship of material, and the organizational world of radio broadcasting companies. Describing radio as "an instrument of wit," Fred Allen wrote: "on radio you could do subtle writing because you had access to the imagination...that was why I liked radio. we had some fun." Readers will also have some fun remembering or discovering for the first time Allenâs Alley and the magic of radio comedy in its prime. "Fred was one of the greatest of vaudeville and radio comedians. Anyone even casually concerned with the state of American humor will be well advised to give his work, as Mr. Havig presents it, careful study." âSteve Allen "Alan Havig has done an intelligent, careful and exhaustive research job. This is a well-written, solid performance-biography." âJ. Fred MacDonald, Curator of the Museum of Broadcast Communication, Chicago

Woody Allen (Paperback) $9.55 Woody Allen`s career has been one of the most enduring and highly regarded among the pantheon of great film directors. Yet, although Allen can count himself among the most prolific and acclaimed American directors, the reclusive auteur allots little time to reflect publicly upon his amassed body of work. Thus, the 2003 book WOODY ALLEN A LIFE IN FILM is valuable not only for renowned film critic Richard Schickel`s insights into Allen`s impressive filmmaking career, but also for the inclusion of a rare, in-depth interview with the director himself. The book begins with a lengthy critical essay that paints a full and illuminating portrait of Allen through the lens of his experiences as a filmmaker. Schickel, a longtime film critic for TIME magazine, artfully deconstructs the different periods of the director`s career. Beginning with the lighthearted slapstick comedies of the late 1960s and `70s, Schickel progresses to the elegant, insightful studies of human nature and relationships from the 1970s and `80s. The experiments with different genres that characterized Allen`s `90s oeuvre are also highlighted, along with a look at the playful comedies that distinguished his work in the early 21st century. The essay complements the second section of the book, titled "The Interview," a transcript of Schickel`s 2002 interview--one of the longest on record--with the reticent director. Their mostly serious discussion spans Allen`s career, while only briefly alluding to his scandalous personal life, allowing readers to gain an invaluable perspective on one of the most important artists in cinematic history.

Spiritual Dimensions of Mental Health $19 "Health--physical, mental, spiritual.All three are closely related. But in modern mental-health care one of them is often neglected. Nurses, social workers and counselors are rarely taught to minister to their client's spiritual needs. In fact, they are sometime told to ignore them altogether.But spiritual needs can play a part in any illness. They may become especially strong when the mind and emotions are affected. So how can Christian workers help their clients spiritually without violating their freedom or antagonizing other members of the health-care team? How can they help their colleagues and keep their own sanity under extremely stressful conditions?Judith Allen Shelly joins Sandra D. John and other mental-health professionals to show how Christians can minister effectively to such deep needs."
