If Dirt Could Talk
Ronald Oliver was first inspired to pen a collection of verses and illustrations while working on bullying prevention during the late eighties. In the second edition of If Dirt Could Talk, Oliver focuses his poetic presentation on animal stories with the hope of encouraging others to fondly recall childhood experiences and rekindle their love of nature. Oliver's poems reflect on many of nature's creatures such as coyotes, ants, and squirrels, as well as the surrounding landscape that holds diverse plant life such as cactus, trees, and tumbleweed. Included are Oliver's vivid illustrations created in watercolor, acrylic, mixed media, and colored pencil. If Dirt Could Talk shares a collection of poems and illustrations that expressively explore the world of nature and its creatures.
A Retrospective Look Volume II

It is hoped that the reader en...
The Real School Safety Problem
Schools across the U.S. look very different today than they did a generation ago. Police officers, drug-sniffing dogs, surveillance cameras, and high suspension rates have become commonplace. The Real School Safety Problem uncovers the unintended but far-reaching effects of harsh school discipline climates. Evidence shows that current school security practices may do more harm than good by broadly affecting the entire family, encouraging less civic participation in adulthood, and garnering future financial costs in the form of high rates of arrests, incarceration, and unemployment. This text presents a blueprint for reform that emphasizes problem-solving and accountability while encouraging the need to implement smarter school policies.Ê
A Retrospective Look
This collection looks back at the drawings and paintings done over a lifetime. It began with a hunger to create by drawing when I was around twelve years old. This book represents a chance to put them altogether into a whole that may make more sense. From the start, I have used drawing and painting as a way of calming down, concentrating and focusing on settling things around me. By calling them ]artwork] I could make them look as I wanted them to remain. I thought they should speak with my voice and say what I wanted to say. It came natural to me because that was what I wanted. It was just that simple. I still see things that way: there is the passing and there is the fixed. It seems like t...
