Diverse Vanities: A Selection of Thirty Pieces 1925-1971
()
About this ebook
from Saint Albans Academy and Amherst College.
While in Amherst he worked summers as a counselor at
Camp Bonny Dune on Bass River, Cape Cod. He also
pitched for Yarmouth on its semi-pro baseball team. He
met Joanna Davenport of Beverly, Massachusetts when
her family summered on High Bank Road just across
from the Bonny Dune camp. She was the youngest girl
in a family of six and was studying at Wheaton College at the time.
When Clifford (known then as Lefty) returned to Amherst he began
to compose the love sonnets to Joanna that are published in this book.
Shortly after they married. The family summered on Cape Cod for
many years and retired there. Clifford Bragdon taught at Smith College
as Chairman of the Department of Education and Child Study, all
the time writing poetry as gifts for Joannas birthdays and Christmas.
Clifford chose, from all his work, the poetry he collected here in Diverse
Vanities. I, his son, have the privilege of publishing it.
Clifford R. Bragdon
Director Allen D. Bragdon shares practical information about how the human brain works and how to test and strengthen the brain's skills used everyday. His firm, The Brainwaves Center, monitors information is revealed by published research findings in the cognitive neuroscience and behavioral sciences. They translate the technical descriptions into non-technical language and create engaging, interactive, mental exercises that engage the brain functions in easily-understood ways. That material is presented in books, CDs with interactive exercises and in presentations using engaging power-point formats. These are tailored to match the audience's level of interest. Some material invites in audience participation by solving problems presented in everyday situations. Other presentations do not require interaction with the audience. Those describe and demonstrate useful mental skills presented in situations commonly encountered--memory aids, for example. To see some examples of how that works, go to www.brainwaves.com there you will find interactive brain-games and Tables of Contents for one of our most translated bestselling books "Building Mental Muscle."
