The Bilingual Brain
Arturo Hernandez presents the results of 25 years of research into the factors that might help us to understand how two (or more) languages are stored in one brain. It is clear that the brain is not egalitarian—some languages are privileged and others are not, but why?
Mastery
To the outsider, an expert seems as if they are doing everything effortlessly. A master chess player, an expert golfer, and a prolific writer seem to be able to quickly home in on what needs to be done and execute flawlessly over and over again. How do we master new skills? How do our brains and bodies transform performance from novice to expert? In Mastery, Arturo E. Hernandez shows that new skills are not built but rather bloom from the combination and recombination of small parts that come to represent a new whole.The process by which smaller things are blended over and over again is one that is not just restricted to high-level experts. Uniting the latest research findings from a cross s...
The Good Lessons
Hard-won lessons from a lifetime as a teacher and principal working with gang members in Los Angeles, Oakland, and Indian Country reservations. The stories are gripping and instructive as radical interventions turn education on its head, and urban and Native communities refuse to give up or give-in. A tough, inspiring and highly original take on troubled, alienated and violent youth.

The Music of Jimmy Ojotriste
Jimmy is a guitar prodigy, with hair kept long to cover scars and a glass-eye that people say has a quiet moan. He pines for a Jewish flamenco dancer from Hollywood's El Cid. Vic is the trio's handsome, green-eyed tenor with a perfect ear, Vietnamese girlfriend and dreams of being a cop. His unpainted low-rider is the trio's gig car. Ray is their Chinese-Mexican violinist. He's been in love since childhood with the youngest of the Maravilla sisters, but he has incurable bone cancer. As Ray's death approaches, Jimmy's glass-eye becomes increasingly painful and lifelike. When they visit the aging oculist who created the eye, what he tells them sets three young mariachis in a Galaxy 500 on a vi...
Trial, Error, and Disappointment: Davis v. Goliath
About the Book Trial, Error, and Disappointment: Davis v. Goliath is about home ownership and the authors legal battle with their residential mortgage company. What makes the story interesting is that during their attempt to raise funds for legal fees, the author fell into a trap involving a well-structured scam. What makes this message relevant is that many were victims of the housing and financial crisis of 2007 while others are taken advantage of by scammers. What makes this book unique is the authors choosing to openly document their plight with both experiences, recognizing that others have experienced the same. The author would like readers to connect with their story, recognizing that our courts are "courts of laws" and not necessarily "courts of morals". Imagine that!
