The Maya and Climate Change
One of the most well-known things about the Classic Maya civilization is that it collapsed, which leads to many questions about what happened.

Instead, it shifts the focus to the 700-plus years of societal growth and environmental conservation that preceded the transformation of Maya civilization about 1,000 years ago. Drawing on archaeological, environmental, and historical evidence, it explores the many ways that Maya communities addressed the challenges of climate change and other tropical environment stressors.

Navigating Comprehensive School Change
This book, an accessible resource for busy practitioners, is a unique hybrid of two genres. As a "tourist guide," it shows you how to prepare for the journey, what to pay attention to upon arrival, and how to deal with the unexpected. As a "consumer report", it helps you identify some of the best tools and sources about change, access useful information about the change process, and find information about the strengths and challenges of various strategies. Thorough and comprehensive, it offers essential information about how to form leadership teams, identify high stakes problems, build commitment, create a school-wide vision and establish school-wide goals, handle setbacks, maintain the vision and sustain change, and evaluate and assess comprehensive school change. Also included is a section called "Ports of Call," which provides sources of information to help you implement comprehensive school reform at your site.
