Peace has now returned to Normandy. The blood-soaked beaches have been cleansed by the waves of the English Channel. The cows and Camembert cheese have returned. Screams and gunfire have been replaced by the sounds of wind in the bluffs above and the pounding of the surf below. The smell of apple blossoms and cider have replaced the stench of gunpowder and death. All is well in Normandy, but history will never let us forget the events that occurred here in June of 1944, the battle known as "Operation Overlord." *** For the past seven decades, the region of Normandy, France, has lived in the shadow of one of the most infamous times in history: the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944.

Poignant in its accurate retelling of the invasion of Normandy, Normandy, 75 Years Later offers readers invaluable insight into the history and beauty of Normandy, France, on the seventy-fifth anniversary of D-Day.

The Atlanta Public School's cheating scandal is a case study for school districts, educators, and students in education, journalism, and ethics. The five year ordeal, which culminated in a seven month trial, was a matter of international scandal all kicked off by a newspaper investigation. Cheating But Not Cheated gives readers the details of the matter from an insider's point of view. Christopher Waller was held out by the APS superintendent, and later the media, as the "poster child" of the cheating scandal. A review of the investigation and trial, through the eyes of Christopher Waller, highlights how socio-economics, an over emphasis on testing, and a passion for not being at the bottom of the pack led to the cheating scandal. Cheating is a lesson in leadership, integrity, morale and community involvement. Readers, policy makers, and educators cannot know the full story of the testing scandal until they have heard from those who experienced it first hand. Cheating reveals the perspective that must be understood to prevent future school cheating scandals.

Most people spend their entire life trying to find the purpose that serves them best, but your purpose was always meant to serve others. So, it is in your serving of others that you discover your purpose!No matter who you are, if you are faced in front of children on a daily basis and commissioned to teach, this book is for you. Teaching is not for everyone, and unfortunately many are turning their backs on the classroom. I urge you to reconsider. The world is in need of educators more than ever before. It is from my experiences and understanding that children have become more difficult to teach, and the cost of living is increasing on a daily basis. So, this leads you to do what you can to help yourself: You buy books and take classes, trying to increase your chances of making more money. You make an attempt to create some sort of balance in your life, which begins to provoke your chances of burnout. You push and push and push until you have nothing left to give, and you become numb and powerless to make a difference. You were like a potted flower, meant to stand out and be beautiful, your color made to be vibrant, your purpose manifested in the most subtle way, and your harvest everlasting. The sun was always supposed to shine on you and water always made available to you. And because you never intended to be moved, you blossomed where you were planted. But somewhere along the way, someone closed the window and shielded the sunlight, and forgot you were still there. I am deeply sorry that it has taken me so long to bring this book to you, but I'm happy it's finally here.

Jimmy Blanco was one of the longest living survivors of the world's deadliest brain cancer and he defied the odds without traditional medicine. In 1995, he was diagnosed with a glioblastoma multiforme grade IV and given less than four months to live. From day one he rejected chemotherapy and radiation and the doctor's death sentence for him. He self-treated with natural medicine, radically altered his diet, practiced visualization and other mental focus techniques, and had a healthy faith in God. He fought eight incredible years against the tumor that doesn't quit. Jimmy began writing a book about his journey but sadly did not finish it. Fifteen years after his death, his widow, Elizabeth, found the unfinished book he'd been writing and gave it to their daughter, Jamie. Now as an adult and award-winning journalist, Jamie knew what she had to do-complete her father's work. She has investigated the biggest factors that contributed to her father's miraculous remission and done a deep dive into the latest brain cancer research, both the great and the lacking. This multigenerational memoir spans more than twenty years and tells the story of heartache, miracles, the power of nature and faith, and the bonds of love that disease and death cannot break.
