We live in a wild world. Has the classroom prepared you? Student. Are you conformed and ranked at school, being force-fed subjects that are irrelevant to your interests? Parent. Has standardized testing hijacked your child's passions and purposes, and left you without a voice? Teacher. Are you frustrated by the rigid system that dictates what you teach and how you teach it? Neighbor. Have you lost touch with your local school, which plays no direct role in transforming your community? If so, you may be a Wild Scholar, looking for an educational process that prepares you to thrive in this wild world. This book explores an educational system that includes "Client-based Ventures", "Intelligent Fast Failure", "CENTER habits", "Coaches", and other concepts of a Wild Scholars education. How do we develop a system that focuses on Scholars' passions and purposes, rather than just their test scores? Dr. Darrell Velegol, Professor of Chemical Engineering at Penn State University, is an award-winning teacher and researcher. He has worked with 1000s of students, using his CENTER habits (www.velegol.org/CENTER.htm). In each young person he works with, he sees the capacity for greatness. He and his family live in State College PA.

Unexplained Love is a different kind of love story. Based off true events and true love. Our story begins with David Parker driving home one hot stormy night in the small town of Bishop Georgia. The old familiar blacktop road was no stranger to him, but this night will forever change his life. Though a dense fog was lingering after a hot summer day and the blackness of night eluded his vision, he was still able to see a cross with a picture attached to it. A young blonde girl who smile and face that would haunt him forever and become more than he every could imagined. She was only 22 years old when she died in a unpredictable car accident and her time on earth was cut short. But she was not done, she wanted to help David in ways he could never understand. She wanted to save him from his own Destiny from which he didn't know was coming. Will she save him? Can you really stop Destiny or True Love? This story is original and will make you think if death is the end of the beginning. Maybe both.

**A SUNDAY TIMES MUST-READ**'Riveting and vitally important' - Steven Pinker'A gripping narrative of a world on the cusp of profound change' - Anjana Ahuja, New StatesmanEmpty Planet offers a radical, provocative argument that the global population will soon begin to decline, dramatically reshaping the social, political and economic landscape.For half a century, statisticians, pundits and politicians have warned that a burgeoning planetary population will soon overwhelm the earth's resources. But a growing number of experts are sounding a different kind of alarm. Rather than growing exponentially, they argue, the global population is headed for a steep decline. Throughout history, depopulation was the product of catastrophe: ice ages, plagues, the collapse of civilizations. This time, however, we're thinning ourselves deliberately, by choosing to have fewer babies than we need to replace ourselves. In much of the developed and developing world, that decline is already underway, as urbanisation, women's empowerment, and waning religiosity lead to smaller and smaller families. In Empty Planet, Ibbitson and Bricker travel from South Florida to Sao Paulo, Seoul to Nairobi, Brussels to Delhi to Beijing, drawing on a wealth of research and firsthand reporting to illustrate the dramatic consequences of this population decline - and to show us why the rest of the developing world will soon join in. They find that a smaller global population will bring with it a number of benefits: fewer workers will command higher wages; good jobs will prompt innovation; the environment will improve; the risk of famine will wane; and falling birthrates in the developing world will bring greater affluence and autonomy for women. But enormous disruption lies ahead, too. We can already see the effects in Europe and parts of Asia, as aging populations and worker shortages weaken the economy and impose crippling demands on healthcare and vital social services. There may be earth-shaking implications on a geopolitical scale as well. Empty Planet is a hugely important book for our times. Captivating and persuasive, it is a story about urbanisation, access to education and the empowerment of women to choose their own destinies. It is about the secularisation of societies and the vital role that immigration has to play in our futures.Rigorously researched and deeply compelling, Empty Planet offers a vision of a future that we can no longer prevent - but that we can shape, if we choose to.
