"Goosetown" is the prequel to "Gum-Dipped: A Daughter Remembers Rubber Town", her book about the decades when Akron was the Rubber Capital of the World. In it Dyer provides a loving but complicated portrait of her father and a view of the relationships among Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, its employees, and the city of Akron, Ohio. Earlier memoirs were "In a Tangled Wood: An Alzheimer's Journey" and "Gum-Dipped: A Daughter Remembers Rubber Town." She has also edited two collections of essays, "Bloodroot: Reflections on Place by Appalachian Women Writers" and "From Curlers to Chainsaws: Women and Their Machines." Her first book, "The Awakening: A Novel of Beginnings", was a scholarly study of Kate Chopin, a turn-of-the-century American writer. Joyce Dyer is Professor Emerita of English at Hiram College, where she continues to teach occasional courses in creative writing. Her teaching and writing specialties are essay and hybrid nonfiction. Dyer's biography is included in "Contemporary Authors", volume 146, and in the New Revision Series, volume 91.

Mau Piailug Pius "Mau" Piailug (pronounced ; 1932 – July 12, 2010) was a Micronesian navigator from the Carolinian island of Satawal, best known as a teacher of traditional, non-instrument wayfinding methods for open-ocean voyaging. Mau's Carolinian navigation system, which relies on navigational clues using the Sun and stars, winds and clouds, seas and swells, and birds and fish, was acquired through rote learning passed down through teachings in the oral tradition. He earned the title of master navigator ("palu") by the age of eighteen, around the time the first American missionaries arrived in Satawal. As he neared middle age, Mau grew concerned that the practice of navigation in Satawal would disappear as his people became acculturated to Western values. In the hope that the navigational tradition would be preserved for future generations, Mau shared his knowledge with the Polynesian Voyaging Society (PVS). With Mau's help, PVS used experimental archaeology to recreate and test lost Hawaiian navigational techniques on the "Hōkūle‘a", a modern reconstruction of a double-hulled Hawaiian voyaging canoe.
