Tall, Tall Tails is a book of children's poetry that allows the child to create a level of vivid imagery that is creative and colorful. It deals with everyday life for not only children, but adults the same. The poem "Barking Daisy," it is about a dog that is driving a woman completely mad with her abnoxious barking. Daisy is let outside at all hours of the day and night, and stands right at her window barking. She tries everything, but nothing works. Finally, she resorts to sleeping with ear plugs, and her problem is solved. The poems are written in a very unique and simple style, allowing the children to easily relate. Putting a twist on them, they are funny and exciting, yet encouraging good morals. Some of the poems are realistic, and some are just plain comical.

Why is it that food prices are so high that millions of South African families go hungry, while the prices paid to farmers for that same food are so low that many cannot stay in business? Why are the people who produce our food – farmworkers – among the most insecure of all? Why do high levels of rural poverty persist while corporate profits in the food sector keep rising? How did a country with a constitutional right to food become a place where 1 in 4 children is so malnourished that they are classified as stunted?

The Internet has transformed higher education by changing the way universities and colleges teach students. As a result, many institutions are struggling to understand how the next generation of Internet technologies, including Web 2.0, multimedia, virtual presence, gaming, and the proliferation of mobile devices, will impact their students and infrastructures. .edu: Technology and Learning Environments in Higher Education discusses how higher education institutions can use these technologies to enable learning environments. In the future, students will have complete access to any higher education resource, including expert scholars, lectures, content, courseware, collaborative dialogues, information exchanges, hands-on learning, and research – no matter where they are located. If fully enabled, this new learning environment will blur the lines between on- and off-campus experiences and remove barriers to learning and research – greatly improving the quality of education for students globally.
Higher education in the U.S. has traditionally prepared students for work and social success, but with families, work, and society itself undergoing revolutionary change, is this preparation sufficient to develop the 21st-century workforce? This book explores how evolving family structures, new ways of balancing work and personal lives, and rapid technological advancements will transform the ways that U.S. colleges and universities develop well-educated, career-oriented citizens. Society 3.0 will help higher education providers and industry leaders understand these potentially disruptive variables and design appropriate programs and career paths for tomorrow's workers. The book presents and explores the following insights: – A wider range of family members, not just older children, now attend college, a decision that shapes – and is shaped by – 21st-century demographics. – Older students, recognizing degrees as vital for competing in the global workforce, now outnumber those entering college before starting careers. – Today’s workers are increasingly likely to be women, working outside the office or self-employed, or applying their education to innovation and entrepreneurship as small business owners. – Technology is remaking the campus experience via smartphone learning apps, social networking among professors and students, and immersive engagement in virtual worlds – and even games. Society 3.0 will provide higher education and industry stakeholders a guide for understanding the emerging societal forces that are shaping the future.
