A story of seemingly unrelated events told from a Watchers perspective but all connected to mind games and manipulation. Alice Braithward was the ultimate people Watcher who believed that aging was not inevitable. It was not a disease but a biological process that could be influenced and perhaps, manipulated. There is no gene or genetic marker that triggers a biological countdown clock and although the human life span was increasing through advances in disease treatment, improved diet and living conditions, cognitive decline was quickly becoming the limiting factor. Through trials on brainwave manipulation, Alice Braithward learned to visit other peoples dreams and nightmares. She sometimes just watched. Other times, she interfered. The latter eventually costing Alice her own mind. A story of mind and thought manipulation.

In the deeply personal Decade of the Brain, Janine Joseph writes of a newly-naturalized American citizen who suffers from post-concussive memory loss after a major auto accident. The collection is an odyssey of what it means to recover—physically and mentally—in the aftermath of trauma and traumatic brain injury, charting when “before” crosses into “after.” Through connected poems, buckling and expansive syntax, ekphrasis, and conjoined poetic forms, Decade of the Brain remembers and misremembers hospital visits, violence and bodily injury, intimate memories, immigration status, family members, and the self. After the accident I turned out all of the lights in the room while I watched, concussed, from the mirror. I edged like a fever with nothing on the tip of my tongue.

The 26th president of the United States was a strong and clever man who could handle almost everything-except his eldest child, Alice. Alice Roosevelt was an independent, outspoken young woman during a time when women were supposed to be conventional and reserved. Whether it was riding a pig, keeping a pet snake, or driving a car-and speeding!-Alice did what she wanted to. When her father told she had to obey his rules while she lived under his roof, Alice decided to spend her time on top of the roof! Readers will enjoy author Leslie Kimmelman's factual and affectionate look at a free spirit who caught the attention of a nation in the early years of the twentieth century. Kimmelman juxtaposes Alice's antics with the achievements of her father-from his creation of our national parks system to his successful efforts at diplomacy-yet all the while, demonstrates a tender bond between the two. Adam Gustavson's illustrations perfectly capture the humor of the story and the strong personalities of its characters while placing the story within its proper historical context.
