Homelessness today is a common thing in every city in America. The "good people," the "decent people," will typically cross the street to avoid crossing paths with a homeless person. The homeless are looked down upon, disparaged, cursed at and called worthless and lazy. And to be honest, many of them are lazy. But nobody is worthless. Not in God's eyes. Most homeless, besides being considered lazy, are assumed to be drug addicts or alcoholics. And again, to be honest, many of them are. But many of them are just as they appear: down on their luck in a society which makes it extremely difficult for such people to climb out of the pits of poverty and to become "normal" again. I was once homeless myself. I remember how it felt to be unwanted by the citizens of Dallas. I can relate to how the homeless of today feel somewhat less than human. The reason I wanted to write this book was to show my readers a side of homelessness they perhaps didn't know existed. A side that only the homeless see.

Hundreds of thousands of proud men and women have entered the Air Force through the gates of Lackland Air Force Base. The base has recently been named Joint Base Lackland. But its rich historical heritage remains the same. It's still the gateway to the United States Air Force. Those who've sweated together here... who've learned together... who've become brothers and sisters in arms... all remember seeing the aircraft on static display during their tour. These are those aircraft. Each one has a story to tell. Each one will bring back memories of those who marched past them. For they, like the aircraft represented in this book, are now a proud part of Air Force history. Photos used in this collection were taken of vintage aircraft on permanent display at Joint Base Lackland, San Antonio, Texas

The hooded throng hounds the Wesleyan Sherwoods on a harrowing flight through both the physical and spiritual landscape of frontier Illinois.

It's said that one can leave Lubbock, but that he'll eventually come back. That's not true in every case, of course, but it's true a surprising percentage of the time. Or perhaps it's not so surprising. Lubbock is a vibrant city with something for everyone, and a reason for each of us to return. Our roots run deep; our heartstrings are strong. Even those of us who leave forever leave a piece of ourselves behind, and everyone has a special memory or two of the Hub City. These are a few such memories, told by the Lubbockites who lived them.

The A.I. Revolution is here and many schools are scrambling with how to respond. The truth is nobody knows exactly how machine learning will change teaching and learning. Moving forward, educators will need to be adaptable in the face of these changes. But more importantly, our students will need to navigate a world where to corporate ladder is now a maze. They'll need to develop deeply human skills in a world of smart machines.This book does not offer a blueprint with specific directions for how to use generative AI. It doesn't offer a step-by-step instruction manual for how educators will need to re-imagine learning. But what it does offer is a roadmap for how we can navigate the changing terrain. We explore how AI works and how we can avoid the two dead-ends of the Lock It and Block It and the Techno-Futurism routes. In this roadmap, we offer a third way that is human-centered and tech-infused. We examine how AI is transforming creative thinking, information literacy, project-based learning, assessment, and personalized learning and how we might keep a human-centered focus as we navigate these changes. Finally, we analyze how AI is changing each subject area and how we can respond in a way that helps us leverage AI while maintaining our humanity.

For many years they've come through the gates of Lackland. Most enlisted personnel remember it as Lackland Air Force Base. Recent entries know it as Joint Base Lackland. But for all enlisted airmen, it's the place they started their Air Force career. Nicknamed "The Gateway to the Air Force," the base has long been the only entry point for enlisted personnel. Hundreds of thousands of proud men and women have joined the Air Force team here. They've sweated together, studied together, learned how to march together and helped one another get through one of the toughest times of their young lives.

This book is dedicated to them, the proud men and women of the Air Force enlisted corps.

HEROES OF INVENTION! Explore the 19th-century American dime novel! This collection features three exciting tales from the "Edisonade" genre, in which "whiz kid" inventors and their steam- or electric-powered creations were the heroes: The Steam Man of the Prairies (1868) is considered to be the first Edisonade and the first American science fiction dime novel.Frank Reade and His Steam Horse (1882) features Frank Reade, one of the most prolific and best known Edisonade heroes.

It is the autumn of 1858 and on the prairies of Central Illinois Lycurgus (Surge) Sherwood has been more concerned with the day to day business of his farm in Marshall County than with the runaway slaves that filter up the Dixon Trail on the Underground Railroad. When his sister is ruthlessly murdered by Mississippi bounty hunters Surge suddenly finds himself embroiled in the clandestine and unlawful Freedom Train.

Just outside the old Indian village of Tiskilwa Lycurgus Sherwood lies crumpled in the sawdust of a big revival tent, cut down even as he received the Fullness of the Blessing. His wife Rachael and frontier Doctor Charles Cutter transport the wounded Surge to nearby Princeton, where they seek refuge at the home of Owen Lovejoy. Their meeting with this determined foe of slavery-and his equally formidable opposition- show Lycurgus that it is frontier Illinois' compromise with slavery that has fostered the border state's ambivalence and division.

Millions of tourists from all over the world visit San Antonio each and every year. They go to the same places, snap the same photographs, and buy the same souvenirs. Then they leave without really seeing the city. They miss the fine points, and fail to notice the things the locals see each and every day of their lives. With this book we issue you a challenge. We provide a series of photos, each one taken within a mile of the Alamo's front doors. And we challenge you to find the spot where our photographer stood to take the shot, and to duplicate it yourself. By performing such a mission you'll tramp the usual places along the streets and Riverwalk of downtown San Antonio. But you'll also see so much more. You'll see the little things... the ancient buildings, the flora, the history... that typical tourists walk right past and don't realize they're missing. And you'll have a lot more fun, too.

This is a study of political leadership and organization during the first thirty years of organized African politics in Kenya, from the formation of the Kikuyu Association after World War I to the first few months of the 'Mau Mau' Emergency.
