Book Description
The authors discuss the dilemmas that face those who would educate tomorrow's valuable citizens and describe the day-to-day commitment needed to maintain a community. Important questions are asked: How do our public schools educate children to become members of our particular "public?" What problems face citizens of a democracy committed to both pluralism and equity? How has the meaning of citizenship changed as our society has evolved? In a world made interdependent through technology, how can one best define citizenship? The book's various perspectives provide guidelines for action through examples of current programs, and the reader is invited to join new forums to discuss questions raised--forums that allow for heated, but civil, disagreement. Only by engaging in such discussions can a public consensus be reached on the best ways to educate for tomorrow. Contributors include John Covaleskie, Ellen Giarelli, James Giarelli, Jerilyn Fay Kelle, Thomas Mauhs-Pugh, Barbara McEwan, Mary B. Stanley, Donald Warren, and Zeus Yiamouyiannis.

Book Description
On a sunny late September morning in Richmond, British Columbia... …twelve-year-old Angie Wallis is eager to go to school. She and her friends are planning a sleepover campout on the weekend and there are plans to be made. Her world changes in an instant when she is nearly knocked off her feet—the “big one” has hit the coast. The devastation to their home and neighbourhood from the violent shaking is only the beginning. A seafaring family, she and her parents, grandmother, brothers, and faithful dogs escape the ensuing tsunami in their boat launch as much of their community sinks beneath the sea. They make their way across the Strait of Georgia with determination and resourcefulness and manage to find their beloved Sea Lure, a 51-foot motor yacht moored in Nanaimo. There they gather their bearings and deal with an eerie aftermath that includes marauding thieves and pirates, heroic island farmers, and massive tent cities of displaced earthquake victims. This disaster tale is told with skillful restraint rather than sensationalist drama. Angie is an entirely credible narrator whose experience draws us in and holds our interest throughout. Author Darlene Weir’s depictions of the coastal British Columbia backdrop along with her astute understanding of human nature create a strong underpinning for this action-packed adventure.

Pages : 313
Book Description
We believe that the business world has a spiritual aspect. That money is spiritual. Success is spiritual. That existence is spiritual. The same way we believe that our strengths stem from a spiritual source; that a body without spirit is like a corpse without life. Tomorrow’s New Organizations is a fascinating journey to a new reality, where the Tomorrow Organization becomes a hotbed of evolution judged by its ability to achieve higher dimensions of potentiality. A world where success is defined not by squashing competitors, using people, or fighting for survival. The Tomorrow Organization will learn to live with uncertainty and change, develop higher consciousness and creativity, attract new employees and develop collaborative relationships. The Tomorrow Organization will become more spiritual, will have more influence on people, will be happier and healthier, will become more resilient and durable, thus more successful.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Sam and Sadie—two college friends, often in love, but never lovers—become creative partners in a dazzling and intricately imagined world of video game design, where success brings them fame, joy, tragedy, duplicity, and, ultimately, a kind of immortality. It is a love story, but not one you have read before. "Delightful and absorbing." —The New York Times • "Utterly brilliant." —John Green One of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century • One of the Best Books of the Year: The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, TIME, GoodReads, Oprah Daily From the best-selling author of The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry: On a bitter-cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn’t heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom. These friends, intimates since childhood, borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo. Overnight, the world is theirs. Not even twenty-five years old, Sam and Sadie are brilliant, successful, and rich, but these qualities won’t protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts. Spanning thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.
