DEC. 7,2011 COMMENTARY & ANALYSIS THE COURIER-TIMES IROXBORO, NC A5 ||| Duke Otolaryngology of Person County 783 Doctor’s Court, Suite C • Roxboro, NC • (336) 597-9200 Gommunication Tips!!! Choose a quiet environment Get your listener’s attention before speaking Pace your listener when talking Speak clearly not loudly Deborah H. Gunter, Au.D. Audiologist The office of Dr. Sheila Ryan, MD Winter reading suggestions t is time to talk about books again. If you are looking for some special holiday gifts for some hard-to-give-to friends, I may have some help for you, thanks to UNC-TV’s North Carolina Bookwatch’s programs during the next few weeks. Here is a book for lovers of history or politics: One of North Carolina’s most popular speak ers about European history and the history of ideas is Lloyd Kramer, chair of the depart ment of history at UNC-Chapel Hill. He makes complicated topics understandable and interest ing. That is what he has done in his new book. Nationalism in Europe & America: Politics, Cul tures, and Identities since 1775. I always thought of national ism as our collective loyalty to our country, a good thing that binds our country’s people to gether. But Professor Kramer chal lenges those ideas in his book and in his conversation with me on Bookwatch on Friday, Dec. 9, at 9:30 p.m. Sunday’s Bookwatch will be preempted by special Winterfest programming. For those who love down to earth stories about North Caro lina people, I recommend Ruth Moose. She is widely admired as an author, storyteller, poet, teacher, and supportive review er of the works of other writ- BOOKWATCH D. G. MARTIN ers. What grabs my attention are her stories about farmers, townspeople, preachers, teach ers, handymen, and regular people struggling to get to the next day Most are set in and near the Uwharries, where Moose grew up. Her book of short stories. Rules and Secrets, will be the subject of conversation on Wort/z Carolina Bookwatch, Dec. 16,18. If you know someone who ever wanted a career on Broad way or wanted a child to have such a career, Broadway Baby might be a perfect present. The author, Alan Shapiro, is a nationally acclaimed poet. Broadway Baby, his first nov el, follows the life of a woman whose hopes for fame in show business for herself and later for her son end in disappoint ment. Publishers Weekly writes that Shapiro is “an acute observer of moments, people, art and lan guage [who] packs even seem ingly simple stories with many layers of meaning.” Here is a book for those who love a pet so much that cloning would he an idea to consider. Pulitzer prize-winning reporter John Woestendiek tells that sto ry in Dog, Inc.: The Uncanny In side Story of Cloning Man’s Best Friend. While entertaining his read ers with the tale of how a for mer beauty queen and other Americans pushed scientists in Korea to make duplicates of their favorite pets, Woestendiek gently explains the science of cloning. History lovers may like The Resurrection of Nat Turner Part One: The Witnesses, even though it is fiction. Durham author Sharon Ewell Foster’s novel is based on groundbreaking historical research into the Nat Turner re hellion in Southampton County, Virginia, in 1831. Ever since, people have ar gued whether Turner was a terrorist, an early version of Osama bin Laden, or a hero of an unsuccessful, but justifiable, effort to liberate slaves. Don’t give your doctor friends Top Screwups Doctors Make and How to Avoid Them by world- famous North Carolinians, Joe and Terry Graedon. Their new book’s title gets your attention and gives notice of serious warnings about risks associated with medical proce dures. Bookwatch’s current season ends Jan. 15. But encore show ings will begin Sunday, Jan. 22. If we are able to have one more season of Bookwatch, it will probably begin in July 2012.
