Book excerpt: No one has ever returned from Mars. Travel to and from the colony—a private venture mounted by a consortium of Muslim investors—has been embargoed since the Martian Fungus began decimating Earth’s oceans. Written off by its investors, the Mars colony struggles to survive on its own. The ecological disaster on Earth has caused famine and triggered political upheavals, including the reemergence of an Islamic caliphate. The colony, whose residents are overwhelmingly Muslim, has fallen under sharia law. Eric Issa, the colony’s infidel Safety Officer, investigates a bizarre death and uncovers a high-level conspiracy that may explain how the Martian organism contaminated Earth. He must quickly yet quietly identify the killer, piece together the conspiracy, and save his own skin, all the while protecting the dead man’s orphaned daughter who may hold the key to controlling the Martian Fungus on Earth. A short story.

Book Just Ask the Children

Book excerpt: Just Ask the Children describes the journey of changing from traditional instruction to incorporating the "Project Approach" in a second-grade classroom. It contains many practical, specific examples of how to use The Project Approach to complement systematic instruction and curricular assignments. Using the "Project Approach" to complement the required curriculum created a positive and productive learning environment for everyone. From the Foreword by Lilian G. Katz, PhD: "Ms. Schuler's work makes a very strong case for the way good project work can have positive effects on tests of basic skills." From the Preface by Dot Schuler: "My book will hopefully diminish uncertainties and concerns from teachers who are hesitant or doubtful about using the Project Approach in their classrooms solely because of their apprehension of assuring that their students are prepared for mandated tests."

Book excerpt: 2026: Something is growing in the Pacific Ocean. "The Slick" appears to be a strange, fungus-like organism, but its DNA is unlike anything else on the planet. Rumours start to fly. Was life discovered deep beneath the Martian icecaps on a recent Chinese space mission? If it was, no-one is confirming it, but could that same life now be spreading through the ocean and threatening Earth's entire food chain? Brilliant scientist Dr. Mariella Anders is recruited to join an urgent NASA mission to Mars to see if she can uncover the truth of this organism, but this is no straightforward investigation. Corporate powers are committed to exploiting the secrets of the Slick for profit; radical eco-terrorists strike out against rampant genetic engineering; and a second Chinese mission to Mars at the same time has its goals shrouded in mystery. The secret of life on Earth and Mars might be found on the red planet, but who can Mariella trust with the truth once it's found? And what price will she have to pay for it?
