The comic usually deals with wildlife nature and outdoor life. Tundra began in December 1991 in the Anchorage Daily News and is currently self-syndicated to over 600 newspapers. The strip was named the best newspaper panel of 2007 by the National Cartoonists Society and nominated again in 2011. Tundra is primarily drawn in two styles single-panel gag comics using puns in combination with wildlife and the outdoors and a three-panel strip that employs regular characters: Sherman the Squirrel Dudley the Bear Chad the Cartoonist Andy Lemming Whiff Skunk and Hobart the Wise. These comics usually Sunday strips contain more written dialogue and generally more complex jokes. Characters in Tundra include: Chad--The main character. As a classically trained cartoonist Chad makes a living that provides him both a lack of social status and a lack of funding. Primarily his job is to pay for everything especially any damage that any of the animals living in his place cause; this applies almost exclusively to Sherman. He is above dumpster diving with Dudley but only because he has already been thrown out of the dumpsters of the classier establishments. Sherman--The main squirrel. Sherman's lot in life is to cause trouble in one form or another either by swindling someone outright or by swindling them behind their back. He often "fixes" things that aren't broken causing them to work in a way other than intended usually causing Chad some sort of pain such as "fixing" a Lava Lamp that erupts in Chad's face or fixing a vacuum cleaner that sends the gang back in time. He regularly has trouble with the law commonly beginning with his alter ego Major Nut. Dudley--The main bear an overweight Brown Bear whose large size is frequently emphasized. The comic features fictional single-panel strips that are claimed to be written by Dudley labeled "Dudley's Dud's" which rely heavily on puns for humor. Andy--The main lemming. He is the great innocent youth of Tundra. Although Andy is still drawn almost identically as he was when he first appeared in the strip he has undergone the most dramatic personality change. Initially he was introduced as being suicidal but just couldn't go through with his natural instincts. After landing on Dudley's head in a suicide attempt Sherman recruited him as a drummer into the newfound grunge polka band The Barking Wallspiders. Whiff--The main skunk. Related to Sherman Whiff began his Tundra career as manager of The Barking Wallspiders. He's known to have a problem with body odors and has made odoreaters disintegrate on contact. Whiff has his own comics Whiff's Stinkers. Hobart--The main Wisedude. He was found near his monastery butting heads with wild goats. Fellow monks determined that this unmonkish behavior reflected badly on them and shipped him off to his nephew Andy in Alaska. His great wise sayings provide moments of clarity otherwise unknown to Gangrene Gultch yet still often ignored. "The butterfly is nature's most beautiful creature but cockroaches get to eat a whole lot more cool stuff." Hobart's wisdom falls on deaf ears but perhaps that's best for all concerned. Other characters--A few recurring characters of the strip include: Mr. Dale the lovable Con Artist : In a variety of jobs; exorcist demon etc. The Moose Nuggets : Animated moose droppings with an agenda. Big Bobby Darin : Long on stupidity but short on brains. Enjoys shiny objects crayons and taxidermy. Tundra and Associates and Willow Creak Press unknown

Includes author inscription that reads " June 27 2987 To Sandra - with happy memories of a day in old town. - Liz Carpenter". The press secretary to Lady Bird Johnson and a part of Washington's social and political life offers a reflection of her experiences from youth and career to marriage motherhood widowhood and middle age. Mary Elizabeth Sutherland Carpenter September 1 1920 - March 20 2010 was a writer feminist reporter media advisor speechwriter political humorist and public relations expert. As the first woman executive assistant to Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson from 1961 to 1963 and then as press secretary for First Lady Lady Bird Johnson from 1963 to 1969 Carpenter was a prominent member of the Johnson White House and also a close personal friend of the Johnsons. Carpenter was an ardent supporter of the Women's Movement when it began and never wavered from her convictions. Her projects and causes ranged from supporting the Equal Rights Amendment to fighting cancer. Her lighthearted memoir of her time in the White House Ruffles and Flourishes published in 1969 was a national best-seller. Often called the "funniest woman in politics" she was in demand as a public speaker until her death. Her books include: Unplanned Parenthood Random House 1994; Getting Better All the Time Simon and Schuster 1986 as well as countless articles and forays on the lecture circuit. Start With a Laugh gives humorous advice on speech writing was published by Eakin Press and launched at the opening of the National Women's Museum: An Institute for the Future in Dallas. Her most recent book Presidential Humor Bright Sky Press 2006 was a compilation of quips and quotes from "George the First to George the Worst." Carpenter wrote an article for the Reader's Digest in the early 1980s about enjoying life having recovered from an illness closing the article with the poem "Warning" by British poet Jenny Joseph which had the opening lines "When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me". This led to the poem's fame spreading across the US through adoption by the greetings card industry and eventually the development of the Red Hat Society. The Liz Carpenter Award is given annually for the best scholarly book on the history of women and Texas published during the calendar year. The Award was established in 1992 by an anonymous donor who is committed to the publication of scholarly research on the history of women and Texas. The award honors Liz Carpenter a sixth-generation Texan for her commitment to the pursuit of the history of women in Texas and for a lifetime of achievements that qualify her as a maker of that history. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Intended primarily for female readers this highly personal reminiscence looks at the author's life before her success in Washington as Lady Bird Johnson's press aide and following her widowhood and subsequent return to Texas. There are chapters on Carpenter's ancestors important to the history of the Lone Star State but more about the challenge of living alone and the concerns of aging. She writes about the problems of finding a man interested in a woman in her 60s of avoiding loneliness in the interim of leading an active social life of preparing food and above all of fighting for women's rights.

1960ref. 87885New York: New York University The Center for Human Relations and Community Studies 1960. Presumed First Edition First printing. Pamphlet. Good. 2 86 pages plus covers. Footnotes. Tabular Data. Cover has wear and soiling. Rear cover has tears at staples. Author information inside the back cover. This is the Human Relations Monograph number 10. Dr. Rhetta M. Arter was a social and cultural researcher and former director of field studies for the Center for Human Relations Studies at New York University. In 1959 Dr. Arter founded and became president of Research and Action Inc. a social research company in Manhattan. She created and administered projects serving women and girls for the National Board of the Y.W.C.A. and the National Council of Negro Women. Any professional field must be based on sound theory and continuous research. As experience widens new meanings emerge. Thus at the Center for Human Relations Studies at New York University it was seen that theory research and professional education could all be parts of a unified program. The theory must represent the best concepts of all the social sciences woven into a systematic and orderly rationale. The research was to involve the student in actually taking part in action and analysis of action for the improvement of social relationships. Thus the emerging idea of action research where the researcher is both participant and observer was widely developed in programs for professionalizing the human relations field.

2002ref. 80863Orlando Florida: Harcourt Inc 2002. First Edition Stated First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. xiii 1 370 pages. Illustrations. Signed by both co-authors on the title page. Handwritten note from Kris Stoever the daughter of Scott Carpenter is laid in. Publisher's promotional material also laid in. Includes Prologue; Epilogue; Notes; Acknowledgments; and an Index. Part 1 covers Earth; Part 2 covers Sky; and Part 3 covers Stars. The book also contains Epilogue Notes Acknowledgments and Index. Scott Carpenter with his daughter Kris Stoever clears up all lingering questions about his flight while telling the history of an amazing frontier family and the strength of the American pioneer spirit. Malcolm Scott Carpenter May 1 1925 - October 10 2013 was an American naval officer and aviator test pilot aeronautical engineer astronaut and aquanaut. He was one of the Mercury Seven astronauts. Carpenter was the second American after John Glenn to orbit the Earth and the fourth American in space after Alan Shepard Gus Grissom and Glenn. Carpenter became a naval aviator flying a Lockheed P-2 Neptune with Patrol Squadron 6 VP-6 on reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare missions along the coasts of Soviet Union and China during the Korean War and the Cold War. In 1954 he became a test pilot. He was backup to Glenn during the latter's Mercury Atlas 6 orbital mission. Carpenter flew the next mission Mercury-Atlas 7 in the spacecraft he named Aurora 7. Due to a series of malfunctions the spacecraft landed 250 miles 400 km downrange from its intended splashdown point but both pilot and spacecraft were retrieved. Derived from a Kirkus review: Mercury astronaut Carpenter and his daughter tell his life story thus far. The immediacy of the story is exemplified in the description of the few hours when Carpenter is in his Aurora 7 orbiting Earth: he then takes control of the story much as he did his capsule when the fuel ran out due to equipment malfunction. Carpenter spent his early years in the company of his grandparents. As a military test plot at Patuxent he became a prime candidate for the Mercury Program. Description of the screening and selection process for that adventure its endless "psychophysiological nit-picking" hews closely to Tom Wolfe's handling of it in The Right Stuff. The space flight is the centerpiece a truly dangerous and punishing mission "I was trained to avoid any active intellectual comprehension of disaster" he notes as his spacecraft started to fail him. His work for SeaLab after the Mercury Program gets mentioned. Carpenter comes off the pages to reveal the elemental audacity we've come to associate with the seven Mercury astronauts.

John Alden Carpenter February 28 1876 - April 26 1951 was an American composer. Carpenter was born in Park Ridge Illinois on February 28 1876 and raised in a musical household. He was educated at Harvard University where he studied under John Knowles Paine and was president of the Glee Club also writing music for the Hasty-Pudding Club. Showing great promise as a composer he journeyed to London to study under Edward Elgar and finally succeeded in studying with him in Rome in 1906 later returning to the United States to study under Bernhard Ziehn in Chicago through 1912. It was there he earned a comfortable living as vice-president of the family business a shipping supply company from 1909 to his retirement in 1936. After his retirement he spent much of his time composing. Carpenter's compositional style was considered to be mainly "mildly modernistic and impressionistic"; also many of his works strive to encompass the spirit of America including the patriotic The Home Road and several of his works are jazz-inspired. He composed three ballets: Krazy Kat: A Jazz Pantomime based on the Krazy Kat comics was premiered at the New York Town Hall on 20 January 1922 and was the first work by a concert composer to use the word 'jazz' in its title; possibly his best-known is Skyscrapers 1926 set in New York it premiered at the Metropolitan Opera but equally inspired by his native Chicago. In 1932 Carpenter completed Song of Faith for the George Washington bicentennial. His first symphony Symphony No. 1 in C was premiered in Norfolk Connecticut in 1917 and revised for the 50th anniversary of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra who performed it on October 24 1940. Bruno Walter premiered his second symphony with the New York Philharmonic in 1942. He also wrote many piano pieces and songs including the song cycle Gitanjali with poems by Rabindranath Tagore. Carpenter made two published commercial sound recordings. In December 1927 he joined the mezzo-soprano Mina Hager to record the voice and piano version of his set of Water-Colors settings of four ancient Chinese poems in English translations for a small subscription label the Chicago Gramophone Society. In April 1932 Carpenter recorded the spoken narration in his Song of Faith with the Chicago A Cappella Choir the Philadelphia Orchestra and conductor Noble Cain for Victor. Carpenter made at least one private non-commercial recording; it is possible that one or more private or off-air recordings of his performances also survive for instance among the Mina Hager papers in Chicago.

Excerpt from a Kirkus review posted on-line: "Liz Carpenter was a reporter as well as a friend of the Johnsons for twenty years before she joined their staff which accounts for the effortless effervescence of this account. .Mrs. Carpenter retains her undimmed admiration for both the Johnsons even though some of Lyndon's impromptu decisions complicated their lives considerably in the generally hurried flurried progression of campaign tours . meeting the press . dinners and entertainments and of course the weddings.
