Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “His ideas will help anyone who has the courage to understand that a real education must go beyond filling in circles on a standardized test form.” —Rafe Esquith, New York Times-bestselling author of Teach Like Your Hair’s on Fire Can playing a game lead to world peace? If it’s John Hunter’s World Peace Game, it just might. In Hunter’s classroom, students take on the roles of presidents, tribal leaders, diplomats, and military commanders. Through battles and negotiations, standoffs and summits, they strive to resolve a sequence of many-layered, interconnected scenarios, from nuclear proliferation to tribal warfare. Now, Hunter shares inspiring stories from over thirty years of teaching the World Peace Game, revealing the principles of successful collaboration that people of any age can apply. He offers not only a forward-thinking report from the frontlines of American education, but also a generous blueprint for a world that bends toward cooperation rather than conflict. In this deeply hopeful book, a visionary educator shows us what the future of education can be. “The World Peace Game devised by fourth-grade teacher Hunter has spread from a classroom in 1978 to a documentary, a TED Talk, the Pentagon, and now finally a book, in which he describes the ways his students have solved political and ecological crises that still loom large in the world of adults . . . Hunter’s optimism is infectious.” —Publishers Weekly “Inspired, breath-of-fresh-air reading.” — Kirkus Reviews “Hunter proves the value of ‘slow teaching’ in this important, fascinating, highly readable resource for educators and parents alike.” — Booklist

Book excerpt: A stunning, thought-provoking look at finding peace in children's lives. Peace is a familiar word, its meaning both simple and complex.

What Is Peace? engages readers to think about peace in their day-to-day lives, and around the world.

But Jena, as she is called, is unaware evil will be living with her. The years race ahead drawing a road map of lines across the once beautiful Lydia. She is no longer capable of caring for herself. For decades she has harbored a disgraceful lie. And if she should die, she cannot go to her 'Maker' without first revealing the truth. A truth that could forever sever all ties between her and her cherished grandson Joseph Clayton Chadsworth II. Mason's Mill is a small farming community located in the state of Illinois. It is well-hidden behind a shopping center known for its fishing and lovely cabins. Sloan J. Parker, the first born of twelve children and one of Mason's Mill residents hates her hometown and the poverty she is forced to live in.She will do anything to escape her dreary existence. Sunni Harrison, the only child of the town's Doctor is Sloan's best friend and protector. She tells Sloan, in time, she too will have everything she desires and much more. She swears to this. Beth Parker, unlike her daughter Sloan, loves her laid-back lifestyle and will do anything to protect her home and children. But her protection can go only so far when something sinister enters her home. But as with any city or town trouble can come calling at any time. What the residents consider trouble stands 5 feet and is ready to put down roots. That five footer goes by the name of Harriet Anderson. Residents normally shun outsiders, and it makes no difference when they discover she can see the past and predict the future. Silva Felders is the worst of the worse. She thinks she owns the town and its occupants because of the hordes of money bequeath from generations before her. She sets out to rid her community of this so-called city gal, warning those that did not follow her lead they will suffer dire penalties. Many with heads held down did as she demanded. Fear of the repercussions can do that. Harriet's arrival was met with a hug from a woman that will be her lifelong friend, Beth Parker. Unbeknownst to the residents Beth has information that could help Harriet in her cause of being accepted, but cannot be shared without paying a dreadful price. And Harriet's psychic abilities will cost her dearly when she is unable to foresee the tragedy that lies in wait. Deaths begin to occur, and the townspeople come to believe it is Harriet's powers that brings terror to Mason's Mill. Sheriff Ben Davidson enlists Harriet's help when the first death occurs with no leads. He really doesn't believe in her psychic abilities to see the past and predict the future which he likens to dabbling in voodoo, but as the bodies continue to pile up and the investigation seems to be going no where, he realizes he can no longer use Harriet as an excuse for seeing her. He has little doubt that the voodoo artist bewitched him with her charms. He fell hopelessly in love. Marc Anderson, Harriet's son, from day one has been obsessed with Sloan, and swears before all that will listen, he will do everything in his power to claim her as his own. But when a distinguished young man, a visitor to the town happens across Sloan, he too is determined that she will be his. A night, unlike all nights, is set to promote fear and panic among the townspeople when a fire of such magnitude strikes taking in its wake many, many lives.

Download or read book Selling Peace written by Jeffrey Manber and published by Apogee Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time the inside story of Russia's marketing of their space program to the West is chronicled by one who was there. The colourful tales are told, warts and all. How the door to Russia's long hidden space pro-gram was opened during the era of Soviet perestroika, the political struggle on the signing of the first contract between the Russians and NASA, the push to change space station Freedom into a co-operative venture, the willingness of the Russians to use free markets against the wishes of NASA and how the Russian space station Mir became a commercial platform, are all told in a relaxed and engaging style by the author, who is the only American ever to work within the Russian space program. The book chronicles the author's 14 year journey to use Russian assets to strengthen the American space program. Included is the behind-the-scenes of signing Dennis Tito, working with entertainment icons like James Cameron and Mark Burnett and the electrifying ride that was MirCorp. The book discusses the boycott organised by NASA to prevent MirCorp's success and the drama behind the world's only commercial manned expedition that sent two men to the Mirspace station for over two months, with no government funding. It is a tale of strong characters. Readers are given a front-row seat on the decade-long clash between the Russian chief Yuri Semenov and NASA's Dan Goldin, a paradoxical battle that saw the Russians embracing American open markets and NASA clinging to the Cold War model for space exploration.
