The headlines read, "The Last Good Deed Cost Daniel A. Walker Jr. His Life" and "Murder Victim Was Always Doing Favors." The unresolved twist-of-fate story regarding the October 1, 1974, murder of Danny Walker has haunted his family and friends for nearly fifty years. What happened to the free-spirited, easygoing twenty-one-year-old as he crossed the Mojave Desert that fateful night?Just hours before he was killed, Dan stopped near Cajon Pass to pick up a hitchhiker whose destination was Texas. Dan may have changed his route out of California to accommodate the young traveler. Shielded by Dan's gear in the back of the van, the eighteen-year-old hitchhiker was an ear-and-eye witness to Dan's final moments.Only those closest to Dan knew the basic facts of his murder, which remains a cold case. Those further removed from available information were left to wonder, often forming their own interpretations based on hearsay.Why was Dan in California? Did he know his killers? What did the police do to catch the two assailants? What did they believe was their motive? The identities of Dan's killers may remain a mystery, but what is known lies within.

This is a gripping story of alternate realities and one man's descent into madness as he tries to escape the physical embodiments of the demons of his past whilst they keep him in a prison constructed of his own fractured psyche. Full of twists, frightening revelations, and profound but maddening insights into a world that may or may not even be real (Shutter Island meets Silent Hill meets Stephen King's survivor type). Psychological horror on a new level.When all you have is your sanity, do everything to keep it...

Der er i stigende grad fokus på skoleparathed, bogstav- og tal­aktiviteter i børnehaven, og der synes at være sket en læring­gørelse af børnehaven som rum for leg og kreativitet. I ‘Kreativ tænkning – ’Lifelong Kindergarten’’ som tilgang i skole og uddannelse argumenterer Mitchel Resnick for den stik modsatte vending: Vi skal lære af børnehaven og lade dens karakteristiske tilgang til leg og eksperimenter indtage skolen og resten af uddannelsessystemet. Evnen til at tænke og handle kreativt er vigtigere end nogen­sinde. Børn og unge vil hele livet komme til at stå i nye og uventede situationer, og de skal lære at håndtere usikkerhed og forandring på en kreativ måde. Den bedste måde at gøre dette på er ved at arbejde med evnen til at forestille sig, skabe, lege, dele og reflektere – præcis som i børnehaven. Mitchel Resnick har mere end 30 års erfaring fra MIT's Media Lab at trække på, når han giver sit bud på den kreative tænknings hvorfor og hvordan. I bogen diskuterer han nye teknologier og aktiviteters bidrag til udvikling af børn og unges kreative tænkning. Den er fuld af konkrete eksempler på børn, der programmerer egne spil, historier og opfindelser, og som indgår i store online arbejdsfælleskaber. Ved at give børn og unge mulighed for at arbejde på projekter i fællesskab med jævnaldrende og med en legende, eksperimenterende tilgang, kan vi hjælpe dem med at udvikle sig som kreative tænkere.
