In the 1960s, Nancy Powell became TAMMI TRUE, the burlesque
headliner at Jack Ruby's Carousel Club. She lived a double life,
PTA mom by day and stripper by night. Then Jack Ruby shot Lee
Harvey Oswald and everything changed. From Catholic school to the
juvenile court system, from a noisy club in Dallas to a quiet farm
in the country, Nancy's life is wondrous and wayward, hilarious and
heartfelt. Here it is, her world in her own words-in and out of the
spotlight, and ready for an encore. Tammi True bares it all. "Using
the glamorous backdrop of Dallas in 1963, Tammi True brings the
truth about Jack Ruby and the JFK assassination to a whole new
generation. It is a must read story!" - Katie Dunn, director,
producer of True Tales: JFK. 1963. EXPOSED "Tammi True is the
ultimate Texan burlesque queen with big hair and big attitude.
Nobody can turn you on and make you laugh quite like Tammi." -
Ginger Valentine, co-producer, director of Ruby Revue
Other books have been written about clergy misconduct and its
effects on congregations. Some are by victims. Others are written
by professionals for a professional audience. Until now, however,
there hasn't been a book for the congregational leaders who must
deal with the fallout of clergy misconduct. Both the
afterpastors--the interim or settled pastors who follow
misconducting pastors--and lay leaders need guidance about how to
assess and effectively respond to the misconduct, how to care for
the victim/survivor, and how to carry out the mission and ministry
to which the congregation has been called.
The Writing Teacher's Sourcebook is a collection of professional essays on the teaching of writing. It is assigned in graduate courses on the teaching of composition.

The authors have added eleven new essays to the fourth edition and have deleted some essays from the previous edition.
Labels traditionally ascribed to women-mother, angel of the house,
whore, or bitch-suggest character traits that do not encompass the
complexities of women's identities or empower women's public
speaking. Rethinking Ethos: A Feminist Ecological Approach to
Rhetoric redefines the concept of ethos-classically thought of as
character or credibility-as ecological and feminist, negotiated and
renegotiated, and implicated in shifting power dynamics. Building
on previous feminist and rhetorical scholarship, this essay
collection presents a sustained discussion of the unique methods by
which women's ethos is constructed and transformed. Editors
Kathleen J. Ryan, Nancy Myers, and Rebecca Jones identify three
rhetorical maneuvers that characterize ethos in the feminist
ecological imaginary: ethe as interruption/interrupting, ethe as
advocacy/advocating, and ethe as relation/relating. Each section of
the book explores one of these rhetorical maneuvers. An afterword
gathers contributors' thoughts on the collection's potential impact
and influence, possibilities for future scholarship, and the future
of feminist rhetorical studies. With its rich mix of historical
examples and contemporary case studies, Rethinking Ethos offers a
range of new perspectives, including queer theory, transnational
approaches, radical feminism, Chicana feminism, and indigenous
perspectives, from which to consider a feminist approach to ethos.
