| Author, photographer biographies go deep - Deseret News Posted: 12 Dec 2009 04:55 PM PST They were pioneers in their times — two women who are better known for their work than their names. One for her superb photographs that document the cultural history of America. The other for her books that celebrate ingenuity, family and friends. Their names: Dorothea Lange and Louisa May Alcott. Both women made an indelible mark on society and, in many cases, on our hearts. Two recently released biographies give the public an intimate view of these women's lives, making them great holiday gifts for fans and history buffs alike. "LOUISA MAY ALCOTT: The Woman Behind Little Women," by Harriet Reisen, Henry Holt and Co., 384 pages, $26 (nf) There's no doubt about it, Louisa May Alcott is famous for the family of girls she created in "Little Women." Who hasn't heard of Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy? Published some 140 years ago, the tale is timeless. In fact, "Little Women" has been translated into more than 50 languages and adapted for stage, television, opera, ballet, film and beyond. In many ways Alcott is the central character of "Little Women." Like Jo, Alcott was absorbed in writing and devoted to her family. But Alcott wasn't content being tied down either, choosing an independent path instead. In "Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women," author and screenwriter Harriet Reisen has compiled stories and details gathered from Alcott's journals and letters, and recollections of her family, friends and contemporaries. Paired with Alcott's works, which are somewhat autobiographical, this new information gives readers a never-before-seen look at a literary icon. Alcott wrote more than 200 works, ranging from nonfiction and poetry to plays and adult novels. But she also spent time away from pen and paper working as a seamstress, domestic servant, Civil War nurse, abolitionist and suffragist. And Reisen takes readers through all these stages. Reisen has brought together an incredible amount of research in an accessible and heartwarming way. Her enthusiasm for the project is obvious as she captures Alcott's personality and determination with zest. This fascinating work is beautifully written and full of character. As a companion to her book, Reisen has also completed a documentary on Alcott. It's scheduled to premiere on PBS' American Masters on Dec. 28, and if it's anything like Reisen's book, it will definitely be worth watching. "DOROTHEA LANGE: A Life Beyond Limits," by Linda Gordon, W.W. Norton, 560 pages, $35 (nf) "Migrant Mother," an image of a young mother staring off into oblivion while sitting with three of her children, is one of a series of photographs shot in Nipomo, Calif., in 1936.

| Pope John Paul II a Saint? - YAHOO! Posted: 19 Dec 2009 01:02 AM PST Commentators Available on Canonization Process and the Life of Pope John Paul II Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) December 19, 2009 -- Pope John Paul II, a man loved and revered by millions of Catholics across the globe, may be one step closer to sainthood. Tomorrow, Pope Benedict XVI is expected to approve the "heroic virtues" of the late Pontiff as part of a series of decrees prepared by the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, bestowing the title of "Venerable" on this beloved hero of the Catholic Church. The approval would declare that the Vatican believes John Paul lived a life of holiness, leaving him with only one hurdle left to sainthood -- approval of any miracles associated with his intercession. Roman Catholics from all countries will celebrate this bestowment as so many believe John Paul deserves immediate sainthood. The Maximus Group, the leading Catholic communications company in the United States, has assembled spokespersons to speak on the canonization process as well as the life of Pope John Paul II. Among the most requested of our spokespersons on this topic are: - Fr. Robert Barron, the founder of WordOnFire.org and the Francis Cardinal George Chair of Faith and Culture at University of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary in Mundelein, Ill. Ordained an Archdiocesan priest in Chicago in 1986, he also has published numerous books, essays and DVDs. Nationally-recognized for his dynamic speaking skills and his utilization of advanced and emerging technologies to minister, Fr. Barron is an expert on the canonization process as well as on the history of the Catholic Church. The Maximus Group, LLC -- The Maximus Group, a Catholic communications agency, first offered this unprecedented service to the media in 2005 at the time of the passing of Pope John Paul II, during the days of the interregnum and the papal conclave and concluding with the election of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and his installation as Pope Benedict XVI. Maximus also served as the go-to agency during Pope Benedict XVI's historic visit to the United States in April 2008. Maximus' mission includes providing the news media with reliable, informed, unbiased sources who can participate in intelligent discussions on topics that include a relevant and sometimes entertaining perspective from the Catholic space. For interview requests or additional information, please contact Christine Schicker at (404) 610-8871. ### The Maximus Group Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.
