FALLING BUT FULFILLED - Reflections on Multiple Intelligences (2010) by Zachary M. Oliver 200 pp. 6" x 9" Softcover Tradebook ISBN 9780984555277 Education reform has become one of the most hotly contested topics in America today. Rather than focus on test scores, federal or private funds, or political conflicts, Dr. Zachary M. Oliver has fashioned a unique memoir that takes a powerful learning theory, Multiple Intelligences (MI) Theory, and demonstrates, through the story of his life, from his childhood to his years as an educator, the ways in which education touches nearly every activity of our lives. In Falling but Fulfilled, Dr. Oliver demonstrates how learning is an integral part of life, not just a statistic or test score, that is felt and obtained through reflection on the vast array of experiences that constitute our lives.

Cleopatra Unconquered
The first book of three in a richly imagined ancient world where the course of history is altered by one battle.

Those around her come to life as the reader returns to those days to live them with her.
Island Wildlife
The book is composed of interconnected stories about denizens of a beachfront guesthouse in Puerto Rico, circa 1987. The mostly off-beat characters who pass through the doors of the Solimar Guesthouse are trying to straighten out off-kilter lives; each has a unique story to tell about love, sexuality, survival. Island Wildlife looks with a canny, darkly humorous eye at the struggling humanity of its characters, while also exploring the Puerto-Rico/U.S. relationship, Cuban exile politics, and how the personal and political interrelate.
The Judas List
Between the end of World War II and the winter of 1975, a 700-year-old prayer book, a key and a faded blueprint came to light in Vienna, and began a 25-year search for Nazi Herman Goering's treasure. In modern day Vienna, American agents Koski and Falk must go undercover to locate the treasure and the Judas List -- a compendium of individuals and organizations who had financed WWII, and, in it's aftermath, now intended to manipulate world finances to bring about the Fourth Reich. But the Americans aren't the only ones looking for the list and the treasure. So are ex-Nazi, the Bosnians, Russians, and, most recently, Muslim militants. The second in the Savant Koski and Falk series.
All Things Await
Lightly, an impossibly good-looking star quarterback from an elite Virginia college, drags along an unlikely sidekick-the immensely unpopular and overweight Santana Montana-to a remote Costa Rican fishing village in search of a unifying vision-a secret location where he might glimpse the parallel universes predicted by quantum physics. Informed by quantum theory and driven by the desire to outrun the dark grip of family trauma, Lightly sets out on an impromptu picaresque adventure that is at once absurd and poignant.
