On any given day, "Wisdom Collectors," which can include scholars,
poets and general enthusiasts, are lined up awaiting the next
nuggets of wisdom. Each word of wisdom builds on previous words of
wisdom whether spoken or written by such individuals as Abigail
Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Andy Rooney, Angela Lansbury, Ann Richards,
Aristotle or Audrey Hepburn. These are just a few of the A's. The
B's through Z's are just as impressive. Nancy Hopkins Reily has now
dealt with these words of wisdom, sometimes in rhyme, metered, and
narrative verse, and presented them in a musical beat that not
everyone will recognize-all done with an uncanny imagination that
cuts through to the core of every issue and includes the youth and
adults. Wisdom Collectors also delve into the living of life such
as traveling, cooking, photographing, retiring and preparing for
emergencies. "These selective nuggets," Nancy says, "are welcome to
all members and non-members of the Wisdom Collectors whose current
membership, by the way, is one person-me." Nancy's wisdom began
when she was a young native Dallas, Texan and learned that it was
okay to say, "I don't know." Graduated from Southern Methodist
University, she claimed that she wasn't very sexy if her high heel
shoes hurt her feet. As a beginning homemaker, there was nothing
like the sound of scraping burnt toast. In raising two children,
Nancy realized that each age came in the right sequence. And just
as she finished her work as a mother, she became a grandmother. One
grandson taught her that Louisiana doesn't drain very well. When
she began her writing career, she declared that fifty percent of
writing is just showing up to write and to surround yourself with
talented people. Nancy says that the best advice she has been given
is, "Drink very little liquid, if any, after six pm." And, upon
reflection she wonders, "Do I want to be a pioneer woman and be
among the first women to stop cooking?" Nancy Reily is also the
author of "Classic Outdoor Color Portraits, A Guide for
Photographers"; "Georgia O'Keeffe, A Private Friendship, Part I,
Walking the Sun Prairie Land"; "Georgia O'Keeffe, A Private
Friendship, Part II, Walking the Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch Land"; and
"Joseph Imhof, Artist of the Pueblos" with Lucille Enix, all from
Sunstone Press.

This is history from the inside out. What did Americans say
about the great events in their own lifetimes? This book is a
grassroots look at the country, as real people tell the story of
America in their own voices. Quotations from more than 350
individuals are taken from speeches, interviews, editorials,
letters, jokes, songs, and eyewitness accounts represent American
thought from the ground up. This compendium includes the words of
everyone from politicians and generals, to Native Americans, ethnic
minorities, women, labor representatives, and slaves. The book is
divided into 18 traditional historical periods from the
pre-Columbus explorers to the terrorist attacks of September 11,
2001.
We hear the voices of Jefferson, Lincoln, Teddy and FDR, but
also of Joe McCarthy, Huey Long, and Susan B. Anthony. We hear
American law in action through watersheds like "Brown v. the Board
of Education," the Scopes case, the prosecution of Sacco and
Vanzetti, and the Salem witch trials. Then there are the grace
notes, the forgotten but significant stories--a black woman beaten
and humiliated for encouraging others to vote; the G.I. who
overthrew a German bunker at Normandy; the last letter of a Union
soldier soon to die in battle. Their words are woven into American
history, remembered and illuminated in this kaleidoscopic
collection.
This scholarly treasury of over 450 distinguished quotations,

This work will be of interest to scholars and professionals in
psychology, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science as well
as undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
