TO DO THE LEWIS AND CLARK TRAIL, I had no plan except to put my canoe in the water and paddle. I had done no prior research. I had no backup person or crew. I had no cell phone. I didn't even have a map. I was excited but, basically clueless. From my home near Kansas City, I drove my old junker car to the Pacific Coast where, at the mouth of the Columbia River, I donated it to a local salvage yard. Then with no other way home, I set out with canoe and dog on what would become a 4,000 mile journey into the awesome heart of America.See pictures, maps, and more at: americanerrand.com

"Journey to the Midnight Sun" is a trilogy, and "Lover Conquers All" is its first book-a fictional story set in the year 3010. John is a horseman from the West, crazy enough to believe men once walked on the moon. Laureal is an emerald-eyed savage crazy enough to love him. And the 'Great Spirit' loves them both. In chapter one, John is sent on a quest by his Order. His mission is to find a lost treasure trove of knowledge hidden away by the ancients. Things go awry quickly, and the first chapter ends in a disaster. The survivors have a choice: break down in finger-pointing and bitterness, or team up and rise together from the ashes of tragedy. They chose the better path and set out together on a daring adventure to regain what had been lost.Book one comes to its own conclusion, so the reader will not be left hanging. Books two and three have been completed and are in the final editing stage, and they will be available soon. Book two is subtitled 'Lake of the Swans, ' while book three is subtitled 'Dawn of the Third Millennium.' Each book will be priced as low as allowed, but please do not take that to mean they are not good-my previous two books, although not well known, have 5 STARS on Amazon, and my new book, "Journey to the Midnight Sun," is my best work to date.

Lerner, the book provides a detailed analysis of the political, social, and economic factors that led to the rise of fascist movements in various countries, including Italy, Germany, Spain, and Japan.The author traces the roots of fascism to the aftermath of World War I, when many countries were struggling with economic depression and political instability. He explores how fascist leaders exploited these conditions to gain power, using propaganda, violence, and intimidation to suppress opposition and establish authoritarian regimes.Lerner also examines the impact of fascist rule on society, including the persecution of minority groups, the suppression of free speech and press, and the use of concentration camps and other forms of state violence. He discusses the role of international alliances and conflicts in the spread and defeat of fascism, including World War II and the Cold War.The book concludes with an analysis of the legacy of fascism in the modern world, including the ongoing threat of far-right extremism and the importance of vigilance in defending against authoritarianism and totalitarianism.Overall, The March of Evil is a timely and insightful examination of one of the darkest periods in human history, offering valuable lessons for understanding and confronting the dangers of fascism and other forms of extremist ideology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Humanizing Disability in Mathematics Education: Forging New Paths is about enhancing the practices of mathematics teachers by extending the concepts of access, equity, and empowerment to include students living with all types of disabilities. These students are rarely thought of as mathematics doers and thinkers, and so are seldom offered opportunities to engage in mathematics in meaningful and connected ways. Humanizing Disability examines the current mindset and pedagogy that students with different learning needs encounter, and then offers strategies and practices to humanize the mathematics experience for these students.In the first part of the book, the authors lay out some key ideas about humanizing mathematics education for students with disabilities. As teachers of mathematics of teacher educators and students with disabilities, as well as with their own backgrounds as learners with identified disabilities, the authors’ case and perspective are informed by hands-on episodes of their work and their own lived experiences. Foundational to the authors’ advocacy are these compelling concepts:Students with disabilities are mathematics doers and thinkers.There are multiple ways of knowing and doing mathematics.The idea that disability is a tragedy must be resisted.Humanizing mathematics education is a matter of human rights to counter conventional, deficit-centered forms of education involving students with disabilities.Humanizing the mathematics education of students with disabilities enhances the learning of all. Theory and argument isn’t practice, so Humanizing Disability offers practical examples of implementation through the exploration of singular cases of how an Individual Education Plan (IEP) can be a powerful tool for access, equity, and inclusivity for the disabled learner; of using funds of knowledge and of identity to navigate the education system; and of building inclusive classrooms and communities.Humanizing Disability in Mathematics Education: Forging New Paths offers an inclusive way to think about mathematics education involving individuals with disabilities. It goes beyond the walls of the mathematics classrooms to address issues of dignity, access, and empowerment. For those whose mission it is to bring meaningful mathematics to each and every student, it is a must-have reference for your professional library.
