Описание: For more than four decades, author and teacher Elsie Higa has inspired thousands of students, many of whom write complimentary notes to her. In Memoirs of a Certain Sansei, she shares her stories, including her parenting secrets. This memoir also springs from the comments of her students and her responses to them. These two forces inspired Higa to combine her knowledge of parenthood with her teaching expertise in a warm and wise narrative that parents, teachers, students, and children will learn from. "Without guidance from Sensei, I would not be where I am today." (alumnus) Higa set out to share parental and scholarly wisdom, and she achieved far more through stories packed with illumination on life in general. They are beautifully written, fast paced, entertaining, and enlightening. Any reader in search of tips for better living, effective relationships, and personal reward will enjoy and profit from this book. Dr. Doris M. Ching Vice President Emeritus Student Affairs University of Hawaii
Описание: Paperback LA Book II expands the engaging, addictive "Casual Anthology" approach to collecting Los Angeles literary gems. Like a patio party of lively raconteurs of all ages and backgrounds, this book cuts across eras and styles to bring fresh new perspectives to the conversation. By treasure-hunting in stacks of old magazines, hunting down goodies lost in plain sight on library shelves, and consulting experts across the map, we've put together an appealing collection of takes on LA subjects ranging from hot rods to mustard farms, from ghost towns to love-ins. Acclaimed novelists Karen Tei Yamashita and Gina B. Nahai contribute richly imagined scenes of DTLA and Beverly Hills. Edgar-award winner Naomi Hirahara documents the Terminal Island fishing village that disappeared. We proudly return a spotlight to the Silent Era memories and child labor reform advocacy of Diana Sera Cary, now 99, who, as Baby Peggy, was working before she was two years old. And we take a look at a loony Ray Bradbury work spoofing noir that reveals much about the author's lonely life as a penniless youth in Venice Beach. Photographers focus on the surprises of wild birdlife in the city, the eccentricities of urban cyclists, and the ironies of life in LA's oldest districts.
