What Did They Say?
Nearly ten years into his teaching career, Todd Sherman affirmed that no matter our age, we all have moments when our mouths don't sync with our thoughts. While teaching language arts to eighth graders in August 2007, he overheard a student blurt, "Floyd is not a first name." After the quote gave Sherman pause, he and the students decided to begin logging their hilarious sayings on the whiteboard. He recorded the comments, and soon "Quote of the Day" became a staple in his classroom. In an entertaining collection that includes many of the stories behind the quotes, Sherman shares over six hundred outlandish comments of his students organized into thirteen categories: Geography, Food, Animals...
Begorrah Bone House
My God, what horrors abound in these tales! SKINNER PLAINS: four hunters seek the creatures that haunt the plains in this bloody dust-kicker. SHEBA: ancient inscriptions, ancient kingdoms, ancient horrors come to roost in New England. BEINHAUS: a weird tale of the pitilessness of nature. CRIPPLEGATE: the mystery surrounding a painter of late Victorian Britain and the detective caught in its shadows. ACHING RON'S EYE: a comedic spin on two writers who get more than any writer could ever hope for. And blood. Yeah, there's a lot of blood. Each story a little hell with horrors too vast to speak of. They must be read, and even then, through silent transmission, stunning one's belief in a benevolent world.
The Constitution in the Supreme Court
Currie's masterful synthesis of legal analysis and narrative history, gives us a sophisticated and much-needed evaluation of the Supreme Court's first hundred years. "A thorough, systematic, and careful assessment. . . . As a reference work for constitutional teachers, it is a gold mine."—Charles A. Lofgren, Constitutional Commentary
The Tennis Drill Book

He Grasps the Heel
Jacob's troubles are as real as they are inexplicable. If he could only trace these physical manifestations to their source, he could fix what's ailing him. However, everyone's giving him conflicting advice, from medical doctors, to friends, to psychiatrists and past lovers, they've all got answers that aren't really answers at all. The fevers, the vertigo, the testicular pain, and the need to find the right bottle of pills, get a good night's rest, and squash those ticks and spiders are driving him slightly batty. Maybe it is all in his head after all, but he'll be damned if he can find anyone or anything with the proper solution-even if it takes him seven or fourteen years.
Bark Your Shins
"You've heard it said that pride goes before a fall, but they're all misquoting it. Pride goes before destruction. It's the haughty spirit that causes one to bark his shins."So begins the tragedy of the hero's downfall. Written entirely in second person from the twisted lips of the deceiver, you'd think you'd know what's coming-that the game had been given away. Maybe you're being misled. Just like Marcus, the hero, as he's led into the arena with dazzling light, blindly striding toward the yawning pit in the sand.
Battle Yet Unsung
“An incredible job in shedding light about an often neglected but important role this unit played in the defeat of Nazi Germany” (WWII History). While headline writers in the European Theater of Operations were naturally focused on events in Normandy and the Bulge in the north, equally ferocious combats were taking place in southern France and Germany during 1944–45, which are now finally getting their due. The US 14th Armored Division—a late arrival to the theater—was thrust into intense combat almost the minute it arrived in Europe, as the Germans remained determined to defend their southern flank. This book explores in detail what happened in the month of January 1945 in the sno...
