The Brain Eaters
In Milwaukee, a regular at Vic’s Tavern suddenly smashes a beer bottle and carves up the other customers. In Manhattan, an easygoing cabdriver goes berserk and hurls his cab into a crowd of pedestrians. In Seattle, a young bride slashes her husband in a busy restaurant, then flings herself through a plate-glass window. At first, these shocking incidents appear unrelated. Then a disturbing pattern emerges - the agonizing headaches, the violent tantrums, the faces erupting with sickening lesions, then the final, fatal outburst. The epidemic spreads. The nation panics. The Brain Eaters devour America. Their hunger can never be satisfied.
The Two Faces of Education
Here, Michael Allen, focuses on the personal and social issues (anti-social behavior, peer pressure, sex, special education, and lack of parent involvement) that students bring to school each day, which impacts their education. In this book, the author examines how administrators and teachers can wade through the psycho/social dysfunction in order to give their students the survival skills they need to become successful. The Two faces of Education: An Insider's View of School Reform teaches educators how to identify and protect themselves against the common pitfalls found in schools with diverse student bodies where underlying philosophical and social differences can unexpectedly aggravate tensions that can be transmitted from one student, to many. Based on real-life stories, this book takes a hard and poignant, yet often humorous, look at a different side of education, presenting a fresh perspective on the challenges of school reform by remembering who educators are there to serve--the students.
