Those Golden Days
In the true story Those Golden Days, a ten-year-old kid living in South Central Los Angeles grows up in a secluded and poverty-ridden area of The Hood, where gangs, dope, and dope dealers dwell on the streets. To make a bad situation into a good situation, and to gain experience, the street kids of One Hundred and First, and Vermont and Century, reinvented the wheel to make the best life that could ever be imagined. With friends like Donald R. Golden, who went beyond the barriers of The Hood to seek out new horizons, the author’s fifty-five-year friendship is to this day still filled with adventures and challenges. From when the two kids first meet at the age of ten, and on into their seventies, these lifelong friends are still “Living the Dream” in California. Growing up in the inner city in the 1960s was not easy. Michael J. Manley calls himself happy to have survived all those years of “living large,” and knowing that he and Donald are Best Friends forever.
Michael Manley
Drawing on Manley's own letters to and from close confidantes, author interviews with over 30 people in Jamaica, Cuba, the US and UK, Canada, Trinidad and Barbados, countless hours of extensive research and review of footage of Manley's speeches, press conferences, official writings, Smith provides fresh and revealing insights into one of the most charismatic personalities in the modern history of the Caribbean.
The Climatic Scene
Originally published in 1985, this volume of essays was compiled in honour of Gordon Manley, a major and distinctive twentieth-century figure in climatology. The range and scope of the topics covered reflect the eclectic interests of Manley, whose orientation was always towards the importance of climate and its impact on mankind. The state of the art of climatic change is considered at different scales by the contributors: from instrumental records on a local scale from Durham and Manchester to discussions on the regional and continental scale. Methodological problems relating to climatic change are treated. The effects of climate and climatic change on plant distribution, disease vectors and agricultural pests are also considered.
The Politics of Change
Challenges the view that public investment patterns reflect political pressures from pro-development groups. Manley, Prime Minister of Jamaica, examines the condition of the country as a newly independent nation seeking to define a moral frame, a social objective, and a possible methodology for its political system. He discusses imperialism, human rights, education, productivity; his own attitude toward communism, socialism, and drugs. No bibliography. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Designing School Systems for All Students
Designing School Systems for All Students provides a clear methodology for school leaders, teachers, and school board members to follow as they redesign their schools for the benefit of students. The authors demonstrate how school leaders set the expectations for all students to learn and grow as important contributors to the culture. In the effective schools that the authors describe, students deliver performances, discuss and conduct important inquiries, and lead profound learning activities. The book explains how curriculum can be redesigned to engage students in advanced cognitive and social and emotional development. Additionally, several barriers to great schools that include assessment practices, false testing procedures, poor governance, ineffective leadership and staff development are described in stark detail. Throughout the book are examples of effective practices that make it possible for all students to prosper in school. This book is filled with practical ideas that are compiled into a toolkit to fix America's schools.
