| West Palm Beach: 1893 to 1950 (FL) (Images of America) Authors: Lynn Lasseter Drake, Richard A. Marconi, Historical Society of Palm Beach County West Palm Beach was established in 1894, two decades after pioneers first arrived in the wilderness at Lake Worth. In 1893, Henry M. Flagler, Standard Oil magnate and Florida railroad mogul, finalized plans to extend his Florida East Coast Railroad south in order to turn Palm Beach into a winter playground for the rich. He designed West Palm Beach as the mainland commercial and residential support for his new resort. From its humble beginnings, it has become Palm Beach County's largest city and the seat of government. The city has suffered fires, hurricanes, boom times, and hard times, always emerging triumphantly. This installment of West Palm Beach's fascinating story shares its unique settlement and growth through the end of World War II. | ||||||
| Relational Processes and DSM-V: Neuroscience, Assessment, Prevention, and Treatment Authors: Seeking to integrate the large volume of clinical research on relational processes and mental health disorders with other scientific advances in psychiatry, Relational Processes and DSM-V builds on exciting advances in clinical research on troubled relationships. These advances included marked improvements in the assessment and epidemiology of troubled relationships as well the use of genetics, neuroscience, and immunology to explore the importance of close relationships in clinical practice. Advances in family-based intervention, and prevention are also highlighted to help practitioners and researchers find common ground and begin an empirically based discussion about the best way to revise the DSM. Given the overwhelming research showing that relationships play a role in regulating neurobiology and genetic expression and are critical for understanding schizophrenia, conduct disorder, and depression among other disorders, relational processes must be a part of any empirically based plan for revising psychiatric nosology in DSM-V. The chapters in this book counter the perspective that we can safely discard the biopsychosocial model that has guided psychiatry in the past. The contributors examine the relevance of close relationships in such issues as the basic psychopathology of mental disorders, factors influencing maintenance and relapse, sources of burden for family members, and guiding family-based interventions. By tying relational processes to basic research on psychopathology, they demonstrate the value of integrating basic behavioral and brain research with a sophisticated understanding of the self-organizing and self-sustaining characteristics of relationships.

| Beach Blanket Babylon: A Hats-Off Tribute to San Francisco's Most Extraordinary Musical Revue Authors: Janet Lynn Bursting onto the theatrical world of 1974 like a breath of fresh helium, the campy San Francisco revue Beach Blanket Babylon established itself as the show that had the courage to put a life-size Mr. Peanut, Glinda the Good Witch of the North, and a tap-dancing Christmas tree together on a stage. Joyously glorifying the detritus of American culture, Steve Silver's monsterpiece has been delighting hip audiences (and thoroughly disorienting others) ever since. This slick paperback is really just a souvenir booklet as extravagantly overblown as one of Silver's signature 33-foot hats. It has lots of photos and history, but, sadly, barely a quote from the show's giddily funny scripts. But it's fun just the same, a window on a countercultural phenomenon. The question is, what did the Queen think of the hats? The longest-running musical revue in American history, Beach Blanket Babylon has taken audiences around the world, from Buckingham Palace to Las Vegas, and the world has in turn come to Beach Blanket Babylon. Known for outrageous humor, great music, fabulous characterizations of the famous and the infamous (from Snow White to John Travolta), and absolutely the biggest hats ever seen on stage, the show still packs the house over twenty years later at its home in San Francisco. Created by the late Steve Silver as an offshoot of his Rent-A-Freak business, with an original script by Armistead Maupin, Beach Blanket Babylon has become a legend. This visual celebration captures all the zaniness of the show and takes the reader behind the scenes, from early sketches and costume design to the ongoing creative genius that keeps Mr. Peanut tap-dancing. For anyone who loves the theater or likes to laugh, this book is the ticket. Visit S.F. Gate to find out what's happening in Bay Area news, entertainment, sports, and more. | ||||||
