North to Alaska with a No-Account Cat
The last frontier; a ninety day, 5,000 mile motorhome journey from Vancouver, British Columbia to Fort Macleod, Alberta, by way of Alaska and the Yukon. With his wife, Sharon, and a "no-account" cat named Pickles (the no-account label is explained in chapter two) he traveled virtually every major road, and several minor ones, throughout the interior of the vast land to the north. In the same humorous/historical style as Bill Bryson and Dave Barry, North to Alaska with a No-Account Cat becomes a testament to the pristine scenery, colorful inhabitants, frontier-like towns and exciting adventures found in the land of the midnight sun. Share unique adventures in places such as the Sign Post Forest, in Watson Lake, Yukon, Halibut Cove, on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, and Prince William Sound near Anchorage, Alaska, home to twenty-six glaciers, the most spectacular-Meares and Columbia. Bon Voyage!
The Vagabond
Growing up, we had to fend for ourselves if we desired any frills or luxuries. We had a group of young men in our neighborhood that spent a great deal of time together, whether it was playing games, playing cards, going to the movies, and whatever young boys would do. There was an older generation in our neighborhood called the Vagabonds. They played and formed teams, primarily baseball, and called themselves the Vagabonds. Not to be outdone, we had between twelve and fifteen young men in our group, so we formed our own club and called ourselves the Junior Vagabonds. We managed to each save enough money to purchase jackets with the Vagabonds logo. The jackets were tastefully done in blue and white with a large Vagabonds emblem. I purchased a second jacket for my then girlfriend Bernice.
Culture in Law and Development
The growth of international law in the post-World War II era stemmed partly from the belief that universal norms would make life for the entire world's population safer, more equitable, and more conducive to each person's acquisition of basic material needs. Starting in the sixties and seventies, some scholars and activists challenged this assumption and established the school of "cultural relativism," a model that pays deference to local cultural traditions and favors them over international human rights norms. Scholars tried to create and practice a middle-ground approach between universalism and relativism, whereby the most egregious violations would be prevented through assimilating only...
The Times of Our Lives (A Lawrencian Memoir)
This is a coming-of-age story centering on a young Spanish Italian boy named Ricky. A story about friendships, family, and the influences they can have on us, both good and bad. About kids from different ethnic backgrounds growing up together during the 1960s and 1970s in a tough town where their loyalties are often tested, refined, and values are forged. Where the person we become when we arrive to adulthood is largely due to the people we meet along our journey there.
School Commercialism
Pizza Hut's Book It! program rewards students with pizza for meeting their reading goals. Toys R Us paid a Kansas school five dollars for each student who took its toy survey. Cisco Systems donated internet access to a California elementary school, asking in return for the school choir to sing the company's praises while wearing Cisco t-shirts. Kids today face a barrage of corporate messages in the classroom. In School Commercialism , education expert Alex Molnar traces marketing in American schools over the last twenty-five years, raising serious questions about the role of private corporations in public education. Since the 1990s, Molnar argues, commercial activities have shaped the struct...

Are You a Good Mentor?
It's a simple question. At some point in life, most of us will assume the role of mentor, even if only for a short while. Mentoring a youngster, a relative, a coworker, a classmate, or maybe a friend is a demanding undertaking. Mentors shouldn't be confused with a role model (someone worthy of imitation), an instructor or teacher (a person whose occupation is teaching), or parent (one who nurtures and raises a child). None of these descriptors include the term mentor in their definition, and many serving a role in these categories can be found lacking any mentoring skills whatsoever. But a good mentor, on the other hand, represents the Gold Standard. Good mentors are often good role models. By definition, good mentors are good teachers and instructors and will more than likely be good parents as well. So, are you a good mentor?
