In the book, Leadership, Violence and School Climate: Case Studies in Creating Non-Violent Schools, three important themes are emphasized namely, democratic leadership, violence and school climate. The book recognizes that safety should be the first issue of concern when addressing school violence. However, violence in schools should not be the sole concern of outside experts who advocate for lock downs, metal detectors and bullet proof glass. Through democratic school leadership violence can be reduced by those professionals actually working in schools. The book emphasizes that reduction in school violence originates from school leaders having a comprehensive understanding of the climate found in schools. Leadership, violence and school climate are connected through the use of democratic principles that address; crisis, trauma, empowerment, common ground, critical thinking, assertiveness and others. The book points out how schools can reverse their reactionary stance to violence, and become pro-active through the practice of democratic principles.

Since World War II, Houston has become a burgeoning, internationally connected metropolis-and a sprawling, car-dependent city. In 1950, it possessed only one highway, the Gulf Freeway, which ran between Houston and Galveston. Today, Houston and Harris County have more than 1,200 miles of highways, and a third major loop is under construction nearly thirty miles out from the historic core. Highways have driven every aspect of Houston’s postwar development, from the physical layout of the city to the political process that has transformed both the transportation network and the balance of power between governing elites and ordinary citizens.Power Moves examines debates around the planning, construction, and use of highway and public transportation systems in Houston. Kyle Shelton shows how Houstonians helped shape the city’s growth by attending city council meetings, writing letters to the highway commission, and protesting the destruction of homes to make way for freeways, which happened in both affluent and low-income neighborhoods. He demonstrates that these assertions of what he terms “infrastructural citizenship” opened up the transportation decision-making process to meaningful input from the public and gave many previously marginalized citizens a more powerful voice in civic affairs. Power Moves also reveals the long-lasting results of choosing highway and auto-based infrastructure over other transit options and the resulting challenges that Houstonians currently face as they grapple with how best to move forward from the consequences and opportunities created by past choices.

During World War I, the British Empire enlisted half a million young men, predominantly from the countryside of Egypt, in the Egyptian Labor Corps (ELC) and put them to work handling military logistics in Europe and the Middle East. British authorities reneged on their promise not to draw Egyptians into the war, and, as Kyle Anderson shows, the ELC was seen by many in Egypt as a form of slavery. The Egyptian Labor Corps tells the forgotten story of these young men, culminating in the essential part they came to play in the 1919 Egyptian Revolution. Combining sources from archives in four countries, Anderson explores Britain's role in Egypt during this period and how the ELC came to be, as well as the experiences and hardships these men endured. As he examines the ways they coped—through music, theater, drugs, religion, strikes, and mutiny—he illustrates how Egyptian nationalists, seeing their countrymen in a state akin to slavery, began to grasp that they had been racialized as "people of color." Documenting the history of the ELC and its work during the First World War, The Egyptian Labor Corps also provides a fascinating reinterpretation of the 1919 revolution through the lens of critical race theory.

In "Badass Christian," readers are plunged into the tumultuous life of Sugar, a girl adopted at birth into a provincial Southern black religious family. As she grows, Sugar mimics the adults around her, absorbing their hypocrisy and contradictions. This internal conflict drives her to distance herself from her religious roots, feeling the weight of their expectations and the sting of their judgment. Her path crosses with Reverend Bebo, a local preacher whose own fall from grace mirrors her spiritual turmoil. Together, they embark on a forbidden journey of love, challenging the very foundations of their faith and community. Through the eyes of a lifelong churchgoer, "Badass Christian" unveils the raw and unfiltered complexities of small-town Protestantism, giving voice to the congregants and their struggles. Amidst the emotional highs and lows, the novel weaves in Biblical wisdom, illustrating that God's grace is sufficient for even the most rebellious souls. This narrative resonates with current religious events, such as the recent fall from grace of prominent religious leaders, who stepped down due to inappropriate online behavior, and the ongoing scandals involving other high-profile pastors. These real-life stories of moral failure and redemption echo the themes of "Badass Christian," highlighting the universal struggle between faith and human frailty.

Three Days Short of Three Years... Where do I begin on my quest to grasp a conception that is so powerfully amazing it's humanly impossible to completely comprehend? I use this title because it depicts the release of the original movie E.T.; three days short of three years, from the day of my birth. To Infinity & Beyond Is it possible you were predestined by God, before the creation of this world came forth? If it's possible, you may be an undercover brother and sister; one or the other to unite as a country; rather than, divide as a world. Is it possible that Herod the Tetrarch expressed his eros love to the daughter of Herodias, in admiration of her request? Thus producing the domino effect of King Herod's phileo love for John the Baptist, by using another prisoner (sacrificial in thought) for his supposed pig face on a platter; in admiration of John's wisdom and insight revealed in his concern with Herod's brother Philip. All the while, producing waves of agape love towards the Alpha & Omega in currents of psychedelic effect that are beyond human comprehension. Is it possible that the birth of our beloved Christ was extra-terrestrial? If it's possible, you should get extra-terrestrial with me. I was born on June 8, 1985, while given the name of Kyle Jene Wasmer. I have a Bachelor's of Business Administration from Hardin Simmons University, with a number of hours in a master's degree from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin. I am currently a member of Pioneer Drive Baptist Church in Abilene, TX, with my proud parents of Kurt & Traci Wasmer. I have aspirations for a future that includes a wife and child.
