 | Ending Affirmative Action: The Case for Colorblind Justice - Terry, Eastland 10 Digit ISBN: 0465013899 13 Digit ISBN: 9780465013890 | | In the 1960s, we resolved as a nation never to judge people by the color of their skin. But today, race-based public policy has once again become the norm, this time under the banner of affirmative action. How, asks Terry Eastland, did such a turnabout take place, and how can we restore colorblind law in America today? In this compelling and powerful book, Eastland lays bare the absurdities and injustices of affirmative action, and presents the strongest case to date for doing away with race-based and gender-based preferences--a ringing call for all Americans to reclaim our nation's shared values of equal protection under the law, without reference to race, color, creed, gender, or national origin. |

 | Ending Global Poverty: A Guide to What Works - Stephen C. , Smith 10 Digit ISBN: 0230606156 13 Digit ISBN: 9780230606159 | | Over 800 million people suffer from chronic hunger, and over ten million children die each year from preventable causes. These may seem like overwhelming statistics, but as Stephen Smith shows in this call to arms, global poverty is something that we can and should solve within our lifetimes. Ending Global Poverty explores the various traps that keep people mired in poverty, traps like poor nutrition, illiteracy, lack of access to health care, and others and presents eight keys to escaping these traps. Smith gives readers the tools they need to help people overcome poverty and to determine what approaches are most effective in fighting it.

 | Ending the Cold War: Interpretations, Causation, and the Study of International Relations - Richard K. , Herrmann 10 Digit ISBN: 1403963835 13 Digit ISBN: 9781403963833 | | Although in hindsight the end of the Cold War was inevitable, almost no one saw it coming and there is little consensus over why it ended. A popular interpretation is that the Soviet Union was unable to compete in terms of power, especially in the area of high technology. Another interpretation gives primacy to the new ideas Gorbachev brought to the Kremlin and to the importance of leaders and domestic considerations. In this volume, prominent experts on Soviet affairs and the Cold War interrogate competing interpretations in the context of five "turning points" in the end of the Cold War. Relying on new information gathered from oral history interviews and archival research, the authors draw into doubt triumphal interpretations that rely on a single variable like the superior power of the United States and call attention to the importance of how multiple factors combined and were sequenced historically. The volume closes with chapters drawing lessons from the end of the Cold War for both policy making and theory building. |

One thousand, eight hundred and twenty six daysthe words used to describe it all were enough to fill up the coffins of the four I had lost and the one I had killed, and probably the six-foot-deep holes in the ground for them, too. When a sixteen-year-old girl abruptly ends her life, the life of Christian Reils, a best friend soothed by complete denial, begins to spiral out of control. He is taken down a road of hallucinations, hospitalization, self-mutilation, and drug abuse, leaving those who surround him to watch just how far a person will go to forget someone. |
 | Endless Energy: The Reversal of Toxic Global Warming - Dr Jerry B. , Morof 10 Digit ISBN: 1606106716 13 Digit ISBN: 9781606106716 | | This environmental biographical book is unique. It is the aRosetta Stonea to the future age of environmental relaphysics. The archaic atomic age of the destructive brute-force technology will be superseded by this new age of environmental relaphysics. It traces the true story of the growth and development of Vernon Triggeras life from his childhood to his death in 1990. Vernon Triggeras genius was inspired by Einsteinas Theory of Relativity. His futuristic accomplishments were the development of an ion combustion engine, the development of relativistic instruments to explore everything from the center of Earth to the edge of our solar system, and the relativistic transitional apparatus to harness the electromagnetic forces that surround our planet. The transistor unit was successfully utilized to change toxic substances into biologically acceptable and inert substances. It is also utilized in non-evasive treatments in the elimination of malignancies. This book introduces some of the basic laws of relaphysics based on factual evidence, not theories. These laws have little recognition in contemporary physical science. |
 | Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo Devo and the Making of the Animal Kingdom - Sean B. , Carroll 10 Digit ISBN: 1423378121 13 Digit ISBN: 9781423378129 | | For over a century, opening the black box of embryonic development was the holy grail of biology. Evo Devo -- Evolutionary Developmental Biology -- is the new science that has finally cracked open the box. Within the pages of his rich and riveting book, Sean B. Carroll explains how we are discovering that complex life is ironically much simpler than anyone ever expected. Perhaps the most surprising finding of Evo Devo is the discovery that a small number of primitive genes led to the formation of fundamental organs and appendages "in all animal forms," The gene that causes humans to form arms and legs is the same gene that causes birds and insects to form wings, and fish to form fins; similarly, one ancient gene has led to the creation of eyes across the animal kingdom. Changes in the way this ancient tool kit of genes is used have created all the diversity that surrounds us. Sean Carroll is the ideal author to lead the curious on this intellectual adventure -- he is the acknowledged leader of the field, and his seminal discoveries have been featured in "Time" and "The New York Times." |

 | Endless Frontier: Vannevar Bush, Engineer of the American Century - G. Pascal , Zachary 10 Digit ISBN: 0262740222 13 Digit ISBN: 9780262740227 | | As a young professor at MIT in the 1920s, Vannevar Bush (1890-1974) did seminal work on analog computing and was a co-founder of Raytheon, whose initial success was based on long-lasting radio tubes. But he is best known for his role in Washington during World War II: as President Roosevelt's adviser, he organized the Manhattan Project and oversaw the work of 6,000 civilian scientists designing new weapons. His 1945 report "Science--The Endless Frontier" spurred the creation of a system of public support for university research that endures to this day. Although he helped to give rise to the military-industrial complex, Bush was a skeptical observer of the interplay between science and politics. He warned against the dangers of an arms race and led a failed effort to halt testing of the hydrogen bomb. This balanced and gracefully written biography brings to life an American original and his times. |

I draw upon my own experiences, blending observation with a concept of human nature, which I frequently underscore with a spiritual approach. I open with "One Way Highway," employing a tavern setting and the image of a road, as part of a metaphor for the twists and turns that a life's path might take, especially when an addiction may be involved. Endless Love closes with a pair of expressions that draw upon notions of history and pagan belief, in an effort to place earthly attraction into alternate contexts, characterizing such exchange in terms of what may be viewed as a natural life cycle. |

 | Endless Possibilities: Generating Curriculum in Social Studies and Literacy - Pat, Cordeiro 10 Digit ISBN: 043508903X 13 Digit ISBN: 9780435089030 | | Many of our classrooms' best innovations occur behind closed doors, never to be known to others. So Pat Cordeiro decided to enter some of those classrooms, asking the teachers to describe their own experiences in generating curriculum that integrates social studies, literacy, and whole language. What results is a book so full of practical ideas that teachers across the grades can attempt, adapt, and integrate any one of them into current practice. The teachers profiled have all undergone evolution and development-their accounts of classroom life, practice, and curriculum focus on where they've been and where they're going. They explore what it means to generate curriculum with their students and to share the responsibility and joys of deciding what and how the students learn. Pat's last chapter features remarks on learning and adaptability. She asks: How can teachers from other grades or in other settings adapt, stretch, and evaluate ideas from the contributors? What are some of the mechanisms that made these programs work? How can a generative curriculum help? "Endless Possibilities" is for any teacher seeking new, effective ideas, as well as college instructors of social studies and language arts methods. |
