No full textDER PRESSBENGEL / THE BONE FOLDER: A DIALOGUE BETWEEN AN AESTHETICALLY- INCLINED BIBLIOPHILE AND A WELL-VERSED-IN-ALL-ASPECTS-OF-THE- CRAFT BOOKBINDER By Ernst Collin, translated and introduced by Peter D. Verheyen Der Pressbengel, by Ernst Collin, was originally published in German in 1922. Conceived as a dialogue between a bibliophile and a master bookbinder on all aspects of the bookbinding craft as well as specific techniques, the text also addresses the conflicts between quality and cost and matters of good taste. The family and bindery of W. Collin were Court Bookbinders in Berlin from the mid 1800 until the liquidation of the firm under the Nazis. It is this legacy and the work that they produced that is basis of Ernst Collin\u27s work. This 2nd edition features a corrected and expanded biographical introduction by the translator, and discusses the historical context of the decline of formal training, a trend that continues today. This text is laid-out for printing double-sided on 8.5 x 11 paper and binding in workshops and demonstrations related to the history of the book, book arts, and related topics. Please discard the first two sheets after printing. More information on the Collins and German bookbinding during the 19th - 20th centuries can be found on the author\u27s Pressbengel Project Blog. For information and binding ideas contact the publisher and/or order Karen Hanmer\u27s Contemporary Paper Bindings: A guide to bookbinding techniques, tools, and materials that features many structures, including non-adhesive

2021-2022 Book-in-Common Teaching Guide
No full textEDITOR’S INTRODUCTION
Michelle Harper’s memoir takes us into the world of a female, African American emergency room physician that is overwhelmingly male and white. She also takes us through her journey from a complicated childhood, attending Harvard, and a short-lived marriage and shows us how a life of service to others taught her how to heal herself. The Beauty in Breaking invites engagement from across the Collin College Community.
As Collin librarian Beth D. Atkins points out, research topics suggested by the book include systemic racism, racial/ethnic disparity, implicit bias in healthcare, domestic violence, childhood trauma, emergency medicine, community medicine, and memoirs. The book encompasses several social issues, including relationships, family dynamics, medical education, patient-doctor communication. In short, it gives a lot of flexibility in how it might be used in classes.
As always, the 2021-2022 Teaching Guide exemplifies the Collin College Book-in- Common Committee’s commitment to the goal of a year-long, college-wide engagement with an important book and its author. Highlights of this year’s Guide include: Classroom and library resources Perspectives from multiple disciplines including English, Humanities, Social Science, and Music Support for a variety of teaching modalities including class discussion, journaling and reflection, extended student research, essay and research paper assignments, annotated bibliographies, and creative assignments.
