The Brink of Destruction
An untested FBI agent... Living and working in Chicago, young and inexperienced FBI agent Laura Monroe grapples with her marginal role in the battle against terror. When the most devastating terrorist attack since September 11 occurs practically on her doorstep, Laura finds herself thrust into the lead role of an international manhunt to track down and apprehend the perpetrators before they unleash their next strike. A gambling President... Back in Washington, D.C., progressive U.S. President Jack Matheson bears a heavy burden as he finds his country in turmoil. As the nation braces for more attacks, he gambles on a radical new energy policy which, if passed, could incense the terrorists and politically backfire. While he rallies his allies to support his ambitious agenda, the forces of evil mount an attempt on the President's life. A battle to save the country... Laura's grueling pursuit of the terrorists uncovers a tangled web of perpetrators and motives-challenging the notions of good and evil, and of friend and foe. In a last ditch effort Laura races against all odds to outwit the terrorists in a final showdown. But who will come out on top at The Brink of Destruction?
The Trouble With Black Boys
For many years to come, race will continue to be a source of controversy and conflict in American society. For many of us it will continue to shape where we live, pray, go to school, and socialize. We cannot simply wish away the existence of race or racism, but we can take steps to lessen the ways in which the categories trap and confine us. Educators, who should be committed to helping young people realize their intellectual potential as they make their way toward adulthood, have a responsibility to help them find ways to expand identities related to race so that they can experience the fullest possibility of all that they may become. In this brutally honest—yet ultimately hopeful— book Pedro Noguera examines the many facets of race in schools and society and reveals what it will take to improve outcomes for all students. From achievement gaps to immigration, Noguera offers a rich and compelling picture of a complex issue that affects all of us.
