Allen Jackson, an attorney with a heightened sense of Right and Wrong, has spent his career fighting for the victims of a society that has gotten so far off -track by political correctness nothing seems correct anymore. He attends a Timeshare Presentation where he wins the prize -- a prototype Lamborghini. Later, while driving to a deposition, he stops to help a young woman who is getting mugged by a teenage street-urchin trying to steal her purse. He is transporting both of them to the hospital when they suddenly find themselves 500 years in the future where society has become a land of sexual bigots. Men are kept down and have the social status of a pet. An insane Judge whose only desire is to cause the total genocide of men, with the help of a supercomputer, runs the land. She cons Al into defending a prisoner accused of a capital crime. Accepting the appointment, he finds out too late that attorneys face the same punishment as the accused.

Twenty-five years of memorable vacations with family and friends in America and abroad have led to the compelling stories in this book. It is really a love story full of passion, action, delight and disappointment, happiness and heartache, angst and intrigue. It is the unfolding of a life of unforeseen adventures that started out to be simple, routine vacations, but turned into the stuff of which great memories are made. Each chapter is a trip. Each trip has many stories. Each story is an adventure. Just right to read on the plane, in the waiting room, catching rays or just because.

Play provides young children with the opportunity to express their ideas, symbolize, and test their knowledge of the world. It provides the basis for inquiry in literacy, science, social studies, mathematics, art, music, and movement. Through play, young children become active learners engaged in explorations about themselves, their community, and their personal-social world. An Integrated Play-Based Curriculum for Young Children offers the theoretical framework for understanding the origins of an early childhood play-based curriculum and how young children learn and understand concepts in a social and physical environment. Distinguished author Olivia N. Saracho then explores how play fits into various curriculum areas in order to help teachers develop their early childhood curriculum using developmentally and culturally appropriate practice. Through this integrated approach, young children are able to actively engage in meaningful and functional experiences in their natural context. Special Features Include: Vignettes of children’s conversations and actions in the classroom Suggestions for activities and classroom materials Practical examples and guidelines End-of-chapter summaries to enhance and extend the reader’s understanding of young children By presenting appropriate theoretical practices for designing and implementing a play-based curriculum, An Integrated Play-Based Curriculum for Young Children offers pre-service teachers the foundational knowledge about the field, about the work that practitioners do with young children, and how to best assume a teacher’s role effectively.
