Posion
From the outside, letter carrier Cleve's life looks to be that of an ordinary guy, living an ordinary life, in the ordinary small midwestern town of Eaton. But looks can be deceiving... After tragic events plague Papua New Guinea, Cleve begins to suspect connections between the poisoning of 50,000 South Pacific islanders and his small town. In an effort to appease his growing curiosity, Cleve begins to investigate on his own and finds himself facing an obstinate midget mayor, a sniper attack, and a love triangle with constant complications. With his life turning into shambles, Cleve finds himself wondering what happened to his once ordinary, peaceful existence.
Forked
Forked is a methodically, if fictitiously, documented explanation of why our country is as politically, economically, and morally wretched as it is; it identifies three tines of a fork--the three groups who are largely responsible for these miseries. These groups are the greedy, the over-religious, and the dumb. Forked proposes ways to blunt the tines of this fork through media, schools, and various strategies. The book is laced with dry, sardonic humor.
Connecting in Your Classroom
The principles of TEACH—trust, engagement, asset-building, care, and hard work—are the basis of this inspirational guide to improving teacher-student relationships. Eighteen teachers from across the country share their secrets of how to encourage responsibility, empathy, and hard work—qualities that lead to academic and personal achievement—in their everyday interactions with students. Rooted in the Developmental Assets™ approach, these narratives seek to foster the concrete, commonsensical, and positive experiences and qualities essential to raising successful young people.
Dervishes
Dervishes is about a lesbian physicist, a mayoral primary, independent judgment, a maternal deprogramming, superfluid helium, and a concupiscent crustacean, among other things. At its heart, Dervishes is the story of a woman's odyssey toward finding her academic, sexual, and political selves, in the face of well-meaning and not so well-meaning pressures.
The Apple

Great Places to Learn
Rooted in research on more than 2 million children about the effect of Developmental Assets® on fostering academic achievement and a healthy school climate, this foundational book is a powerful, positive guide to infusing assets into any school community. From building awareness to sustaining system-wide changes, a step-by-step outline guides school administrators, principals, and teachers through the process of integrating assets into their school, while firsthand accounts provide the creative inspiration to adapt the concept to any situation. The included CD-ROM features a wealth of reproducible handouts, charts, action lists, and assessment tools with tips and materials for everyone—from principals to bus drivers—included in the asset-building process. This new edition is updated with Search Institute's latest data and new discussions on bullying, school violence, and the effect of the No Child Left Behind Act on school communities.
