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.

Winner of the Academy Award'" for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay, Midnight Cowboy also boasts Oscar* nominated performances by Dustin Hoffman, Jon Voight and Sylvia Miles. Dustin Hoffman gives an unforgettable performance as Ratso Rizzo, a scrounging, sleazy small-time con man with big dreams. Jon Voight is magnificent as Joe Buck, the good-looking, naively charming Texan 'cowboy' who is convinced that he is the salvation of many lonely, love starved New York women. These two characters are drawn together in this powerful and compassionate film.

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?
