Tinker's Dam is a book that will be of great interest to all persons who are struggling, or have struggled, to properly integrate their human desires with their moral values. Indeed, this is a personal struggle that all people must face and reconcile, beginning in their early childhood throughout the remainder of their life. However, considering Tinker's Dam's protagonist, Ted Wilson, the book will especially appeal to males in the age range of adolescence through young adulthood, particularly males who are striving to maintain high moral and spiritual standards.

If your insight serves to incite, will anyone want to see it in sight? If you place a pen on a sill, will it turn into a pencil? If you have little left to write, should you write it from left to right? Such are the probing questions that lurk between the covers of this delightful, irreverent collection. Teeming with puns, idioms, homonyms, and their ilk, the hundreds of entries in Son of a Pun will take you on a whirlwind tour of English as it could be spoken. This tenacious strand of wordplay is an unapologetic embrace of the ridiculous-and might leave you wondering whether the author's way with words implies waywardness...

"Jochen 'Jack' Wurfl lived two lives. Jack was born in 1932 in Germany to his Jewish mother and Catholic father, and lived in Austria until 1936. Anticipating Hitler's invasion of Austria, his parents sent Jack and his brother, Peter, back to Germany to live with their Jewish grandparents in Berlin. As Hitler's persecution of the Jews intensified, Jack's grandfather sneaked the boys into hiding at a children's summer camp in the resort village of Dangast, 200 miles northwest of Berlin on the North Sea. The camp was operated by a brave and sympathetic German woman named Irma Franzen-Heinrichsdorff. Jack and Peter lived with 'Tante Irma' for twelve years, where they survived bombing raids, SS police surveillance, and food shortages. Their mother died in Auschwitz. Their father, a political prisoner in the Mauthausen concetration camp, died shortly after his liberation after World War II ended. At age seventeen, Jack began his second life when the U.S. Committee for the Care of European Children relocated him and Peter to the United States. Driven to 'build something that will last' with his newfound freedom in Baltimore, Jack took night classes to learn English and found a job at a small insurance company. After serving two years in the U.S. Army, where he was selected for the color guard at the ten-year commemoration of the D-Day invasion in Normandy, Jack married Zonia, a former Miss El Salvador. They raised three daughters, Odette, Dana, and Lisa. In 1969, Jack founded Diversified Insurance Industries, an agency that he built into one of the top 200 in the country. Jack also played hard as a skier, pilot, thoroughbred racehorse owner, deep-sea fisherman, and world traveler. He golfed with astronaut Alan Shepard and volleyed with tennis star Maria Sharapova. These days, when Jack is not in the office, he enjoys spending time with his daughters and four grandchildren, Elle, Thomas, Gillian, and Aidan. My Two Lives is a story about the heart, courage, determination, and love that empowered Jack to overcome adversity and achieve his remarkable success"--

A caring and ethical education and community is possible! Dr. Tedla has worked in the community, and in student affairs and academic affairs providing student development programs - ultimately creating outreach programs that brought together students, parents, teachers, and professors from diverse cultural, racial, religious, and national backgrounds. Drawing the best from these years of practical experience, Tedla wrote Principle-centered Education Through Community Development (1) for community people, and (2) for teachers, administrators, and educational program organizers who work with students at all levels, in formal and informal educational settings. This developmental program is flexible enough to tailor to the needs of different community places and work settings.Unique to Tedla's work is a conceptual framework for student development and community development that includes programmatic elements. The work is founded on The Principle, TruthLovePeace as an important way to actualize our benevolent potentials and respect the Community of All (i.e., Nature). To this end, 11 Community Fostering Qualities have been introduced to serve as practical expressions of The Principle, TruthLovePeace.Here is an opportunity to place integrity and character at the center of learning so that all learners can actualize more of their benevolent potential and abilities.

It seems that the number of students that can't meet grade level is increasing every day. This is caused by the people running our education system and not by the parents. If you use the actions discussed in this book, your children will not be a part of the disgraceful situation. Your children will most likely excel in their classes. More important is that your children will grow up to be exceptional adults. Best of luck to you.

To Die In Jerusalem is a novel that delves into the heart of the conflict between American diaspora Jews and the right-wing government of Israel. Morris Gruenwald is eight years old and living in the Kisvarda (Hungary) when the Jews of the town are sent to the death camp at Auschwitz. There, he watches his mother and younger sister marched off to the gas chamber. He survives and is smuggled to the shores of Palestine, evading the British blockade. He is sent to a kibbutz and fights in the 1948 war. Morris believes that his entire family is dead and that his future lies in Israel. He fights again in Israel's various wars against the Arabs - in Suez in 1956 and in Jerusalem in 1967.

His family brings him to America, where he becomes a pro-Israel Senator until an increasingly right-wing Israeli government and the feelings of his grandchildren bring him to the realization that he can no longer support an anti-democratic regime.

In My Time was inspired by remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of my students often asked, "Ms. Doreen, why you not going to school?" "Are you going tomorrow?" Others stated, "I want to come." Some of my students had very limited language skills and were unable to express themselves. Divine inspiration compelled me to write this historical children's book to help them share their experience for years to come.

This crime provoked widespread and assertive protests from black and white Americans.

For years, author Pamela Walker thought she was alone. Alone in physical and emotional trauma. Alone in substance addiction. And then she realized the most powerful of understandings: that none of us are truly alone. We all know sadness, shame, guilt, and fear; we have probably experienced poor coping strategies, sometimes without even realizing it; and we all could use some true healing.Walker wrote Guilt, Shame and Fear: The Catalyst of Spirituality to release her own pain and give glory to her higher power-and to help others face and then see past their own weaknesses and pain.
