A Selfish Plan to Change the World
You are exactly what the world needs What if your search for meaning could solve the world’s problems? What if everything you are passionate about could save a life or change history? Justin Dillon argues it can, and A Selfish Plan to Change the World shows how. In this paradigm-shifting new book, Dillon--the founder of Slavery Footprint and Made in a Free World--reveals the secret to a life of deep and lasting significance: the discovery that our need for meaning is inextricably linked to the needs of the world. A Selfish Plan to Change the World delivers a revolutionary method for meeting both needs. Drawing upon his own unlikely transformation from touring musician to founder of a globa...
Towards a Convergence Between Science and Environmental Education
In the World Library of Educationalists, international scholars themselves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces—extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and/practical contributions—so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers thus are able to follow the themes and strands of their work and see their contribution to the development of a field, as well as the development of the field itself. Internationally recognized for his research on environmental education, science engagement, learning outside the classroom, and teacher identity and development, in this volume Justin Dillon brings toget...
Eyewitness To Power
From Nixon to Clinton, Watergate to Whitewater, few Americans have observed the ups and downs of presidential leadership more closely over the past thirty years than David Gergen. A White House adviser to four presidents, both Republican and Democrat, he offers a vivid, behind-the-scenes account of their struggles to exercise power and draws from them key lessons for leaders of the future. Gergen begins Eyewitness to Power with his reminiscence of being the thirty-year-old chief of the White House speechwriting team under Richard Nixon, a young man at the center of the Watergate storm. He analyzes what made Nixon strong -- and then brought him crashing down: Why Nixon was the best global str...

The Assignment
THE ASSIGNMENT When Brina Louise Grant, recent graduate of Cyclops (their equivalent of West Point), accepted a one way mission from her 25th century world into the wild west of their mid 1800’s, she had no idea it would take her on a journey far and beyond what her wildest imagination could concoct. With a mystical entity by her side, Brina’s assignment is to follow the assassin Jesse Loame to the past, tracking him down with orders to kill. Brina’s story takes her through a time of personal wonderment, awe, appreciation, and growth. A time of dedication to her cause, an inner conflict to stay true, to survive it all, and to win. In the midst of it all, she traverses through times of gun slingers, outlaws, deviates, hired guns, cowboys, town folk, country folk, spiritual beings, ancestors, peace officers and horses. Those indigenous to the region, chiseled from the core of their own western frontier, struggle to survive. Others not of that time period are on their own quest. They have their own agenda, their own assignments. Orders to kill. To kill Brina Louise Grant before she gets to Jesse.

Becoming Scientific
What does it mean to be ‘sciencey’? Why do some people of all ages engage avidly with space and astronauts, birds and butterflies, chemicals and equations, while others detest and ‘hate’ the very ideas? This book develops in-depth analyses of the ‘science identities’ of very different people—young and old of diverse backgrounds—in order to explore their immersion in, and entanglement with, the processes of learning science. At the centre of the book lies a collection of their ‘science life’ stories, detailing their engagement with both formal education in schools and colleges, and informal science learning in the culture of everyday life. The text highlights how science educators, teachers, parents and science communicators more generally can foster and support the formation and transformation of people’s science identities, providing strategies to support the learning journey of children, adolescents and adults within a broad range of learning environments.
