The author holds a Master's degrees in Christian Education from Eden Seminary and in Nursing Education from Washington University, St. Louis. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from MacMurray College and a nursing certificate from Blessing Hospital. Awards include: Curator's Award from University of Missouri, Ford Foundation teaching internship, United States Public Health Service Grant, and academic scholarships. She has been recognized by Blessing nurses' alumni association as Nurse of the Year and inducted into her Palmyra, Missouri school district's Academic Hall of Fame. She was a missionary teacher for twenty years under the Presbyterian Church USA and vocational and program agencies. From 1974 to 1978 she was a Nursing Instructor at the University of Azarabadegan in Iran and from 1978 to 1988 she was a Christian Education Teacher at Maridi Teacher Training Institute and the first American woman to become Chair at their Department of Religion. Marjorie White, a missionary teacher for over twenty years, has written this book at the request of missionary schools who want to train educators to serve in Muslim countries. The book covers the personal perspectives and experiences in Iran during her time of service and her own perspectives on relating to those of the Muslim religion that she learned from interaction with her Muslim students, friends and co-workers. The books of Moses were the only text that she was allowed to use in her religious education classes in both Sudan and Iran and this presentation is fairly representative of what she taught. Parts of this book are devoted to her use of the new teaching technique of using literary methods to teach science and other non-literary subjects. This book is timely, as it addresses today's new interest in teaching Bible truths throughout school curriculum.

The sequel to the beloved Newbery Honor Book, Belle Prater's Boy Since Belle Prater inexplicably disappeared about a year ago, her son, Woodrow, and his cousin Gypsy have been searching for answers. Then, on the stroke of midnight on Woodrow's birthday, the phone rings. No one is at the other end of the line, but Woodrow is certain it was his mama. They find out that the call was placed from nearby Bluefield, and set out to see if they can track her down. Joining them is Cassie Caulborne, the new girl in school, who is endowed with the gift of second sight. Unfortunately, they can find no trace of Belle. Once again, Woodrow realizes that perhaps even worse than not knowing where she is, is not understanding why his mama would leave him. How Woodrow, Gypsy, and Cassie come to understand the truth, and Woodrow eventually finds Belle, fills this oft-requested sequel to Belle Prater's Boy with magic and suspense.

"Around 5:00 a.m. on a warm Sunday morning on October 1953, my Aunt Belle left her bed and vanished from the face of the earth."
Everyone in Coal Station, Virginia, has a theory about what happened to Belle Prater, but twelve-year-old Gypsy wants the facts, and when her cousin Woodrow, Aunt Belle's son moves next door, she has her chance. Woodrow isn't as forthcoming as Gypsy hopes, yet he becomes more than just a curiosity to her-- during their sixth-grade year she finds that they have enough in common to be best friends. Even so, Gypsy is puzzled by Woodrow's calm acceptance of his mother's disappearance, especially since she herself has never gotten over her father's death. When Woodrow finally reveals that he's been keeping a secret about his mother, Gypsy begins to understand that there are different ways of finding the strength to face the truth, no matter how painful it is. "Belle Prater's Boy" is a 1996 Boston Globe - Horn Book Awards Honor Book for Fiction and a 1997 Newbery Honor Book.

Based on their research into clinical teaching in nursing, the authors of this work adopt an approach that considers the context in which clinical teaching takes place. The cycle of events in the preparation for and follow-up of practice is seen in the context of the socialization from student to nurse. The book applies the concepts of the clinical learning cycle to clinical teaching and suggests a style of professional practice that students can learn to adopt. Clinical teaching is regarded as a specialized field of practice, with skills that are different from classroom teaching. Examples of commonly encountered problems invite readers to think through their responses to a situation before proceeding to a suggested source of action. The principles of clinical teaching are universal although they will have variations in application in different settings. The book should be of use to nurse educators, curriculum developers, staff development personnel, workshop facilitators, basic biological and social and behavioural science teachers.

In "A Man Was a Real Man in Them Days," Ruth Burns celebrates the life and character of the pioneers who dared to challenge the vast prairie of the Llano Estacado of Eastern New Mexico. In the 1880s along the Rio Grande and Pecos Rivers, the cities of Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Ft. Sumner were bustling centers of commerce, but on the High Plains, due to the lack of dependable water, the prairie was inhabited only by occasional outlaws, Indian hunting parties, Hispanic mustangers and buffalo hunters. After the Civil War, cowmen began to bring their herds to the plains; and in 1898 when the railroad came, homesteaders poured in, lured by promises of free land. Barbed-wire fences were put up, and the day of the open range was at an end. Using interviews and letters collected by her mother in the 1930s and 1940s, Burns reveals the courage, determination, and good humor of these first settlers by using their own words, recorded while they were still living.

Ted Wyatt and Kelly Trent make choices that determine the direction their lives will take. Ted wants to marry and start a family; Kelly wants to leave ranch life behind. They seem to have complementary needs--but do they? Or are they headed for frustration and non-fulfillment?
