	Childhood Dying	"This book is a cry from the heart from a parent and activist. Paul Price asks again—with chapter and verse of research supporting him—why we are pushing our children so hard that we threaten the rich and subtle discoveries of childhood." —Dr. Mike Rose, professor, Graduate School of Education, UCLA, author of Possible Lives: The Promise of Public Education in America "Paul Price has written a daring book to challenge establishment views in Childhood Dying. Anyone seriously concerned about the perilous state of 'childhood' in America today should pick up and read Childhood Dying." —Lawrence Diller, M.D., author of Running on Ritalin and The Last Normal Child "What a goldmine this book can be for anyone who realizes that there is more than one way to achieve education. Children learn best when they are learning of things they are passionate about." —Terrie Runolfson, founder, The Homeschool Resource Center "Childhood Dying is a must read for all educators and parents exposed to the current academic culture. This fresh perspective on learning is enlightening." —Christine De Persia and Patricia Ryan, public school teachers Childhood Dyingis a call for parents, educators, and politicians to deconstruct our repressive, monolithic public school system and usher in a new era of educational freedom that will allow the fulfillment of each child's unique gifts.

	Lets End Our Literacy Crisis	Functional illiterates must constantly suffer serious physical, mental, emotional, medical, and financial problems. Average annual earnings is provably the most accurate indicator of the extent of functional illiteracy. The most accurate and extensive studies of English functional illiteracy ever done proved that the 48.7% of U.S. adults, in the two lowest of five literacy levels, earned an average of only 51.8% of the threshold poverty level—significantly less than poverty level wages! We do not see this much suffering from functional illiteracy because (1) illiterates are very good at hiding their illiteracy, (2) most families have more than one employed adult, and (3) low-income families get help from government, family, friends, and charity. In 2008, illiteracy costs everyone—even those of us who can read—an average of $5186 per year. Students in over 98% of all alphabetic languages other than English can become fluent readers in three months or less. Most of the 51.3% of U.S. adults who did learn to read English well required at least two years because English reading students must learn every word in their reading vocabulary one at a time because there is not even one invariable rule of spelling and there are 1,768 ways of spelling 40 sounds in English! Nothing done since 1755 has significantly improved the English literacy rate. The solution is to spell our words the way they sound—the way the rest of the world does. It is quite obviously easier to learn the spelling of 38 sounds in English and how to blend them into words than the spelling of the 20,000 or more words in the average person’s reading vocabulary.

	Failed Grade: The Corporatization and Decline of Higher Education	The "corporatization" of colleges and universities has steered the attention of institutions to the "bottom line" rather than education of students. With the administration's priorities trained on the generation of money (through grants and contracts, patents, eminent publications or works of art, awards, patient care, student tuition or fundraising) what happens to the education of teachers, doctors, lawyers, scientists, engineers and our future leaders? What can be done to return an institution to its primary mission¯ that is, educating the next generation and in the process, creating new knowledge? Colleges and universities are beginning to lose their way and a wakeup call is clearly necessary. FAILED GRADE: The Corporatization and Decline of Higher Education in America, is that wakeup call.

	The Theory of Absolutism: A Unification of the Theory of Relativity and Quantum Theory	For the last 100 years the science world has been trying to unify the theory of relativity with quantum theory. This book presents a theory that unifies these theories by using a philosophical approach to disclose an oversight in the theory of relativity. This oversight is the realization by way of Christian philosophy that all objects, rules, and acts have the characteristic of singularity. All acts and events are singular relative to God and therefore are singular in nature. Hence, although the coordinates and time of an event, in the theory of relativity, have different values relative to different inertial frames of reference, each event is still singular and thus space, time, and matter are absolute. This book proves that all special and general relativistic effects can be explained using an absolute space, time, and matter, allowing the theory to be united with quantum theory. In addition, the theory of absolutism bestows a much greater understanding of the most fundamental concepts in physics such as force, energy, matter, inertia, electromagnetic and gravitational fields; hence the reader walks away with a thorough, more complete understanding of nature.

	Evolution, Creation, Intelligent Design & Hybrids: Which Ones Are Scientific?	Reacting to rising interest in the evolution-versus-creation debate and to both sides’ claim to be scientific, Dr. George Grebens explores what being scientific really means. Evolution and creation scientists alike claim to use the scientific method in their research, and they imply the other side does not. How do we decide who is right? In this book, Dr. Grebens describes various historical scientific methods and three decision-making and problem-solving models. He explores how these models influence scientists in their research. He gives the reader the ability to sort out the various scientific claims from the evolution and creation scientists. This book is a must-read for anyone deeply interested in this ongoing debate.
