This volume examines how several key components of the mathematics
education system in the United States fail to provide teachers with
adequate and effective tools to teach mathematics in K-12
classrooms. These components consist of teachers' own learning
experiences as students in K-12 classrooms, their undergraduate or
graduate trainings in mathematics, and their in-service
professional development trainings. Newton argues that unless we
improve these system components as a whole and recognize the
importance of teaching future mathematics teachers explicitly and
rigorously the topics they are expected to teach, teachers will
continue to recycle a body of incoherent and incomprehensible
mathematical knowledge to their students, because these are the
only types of mathematical knowledge they have at their disposal,
both in terms of what they themselves have learned as K-12 students
and in terms of the mathematical resources available to them,
including the textbooks they rely on to teach as mathematics
teachers.
In the second book of the Alien Next Door series, Harris and Roxy go over to Zeke's house and meet his strange family. Will Harris be able to prove to her that they're all aliens?
Harris has his suspicions that the new kid at school, Zeke, is an alien, but he hasn't been able to prove it to his best friend, Roxy. When they're both invited over to Zeke's house, Harris thinks this is the perfect opportunity for him to research Zeke's alien family and show Roxy that they're all from another planet. But Roxy is perfectly fine playing with all of Zeke's alien technology which she just thinks is "hi-tech," and as a thank you, Harris's parents invite Zeke's parents over for dinner.
At dinner, no one but Harris seems to notice all the strange things Zeke's family is doing-like making food levitate to their mouths. However, Zeke realizes that Harris is the only one noticing these things and decides to use this opportunity to have a little more fun at dinner. . . .
The United States Department of Defense Law of War Manual:
Commentary and Critique provides an irreplaceable resource for any
politician, international expert, or military practitioner who
wishes to understand the approach taken by the American military in
the complex range of modern conflicts. Readers will understand the
strengths and weaknesses of US legal and policy pronouncements and
the reasons behind the modern American way of war, whether US
forces deploy alone or in coalitions. This book provides
unprecedented and precise analysis of the US approach to the most
pressing problems in modern wars, including controversies
surrounding use of human shields, fighting in urban areas, the use
of cyberwar and modern weaponry, expanding understanding of human
rights, and the rise of ISIS. This group of authors, including
academics and military practitioners, provides a wealth of
expertise that demystifies overlapping threads of law and policy
amidst the world's seemingly intractable conflicts.

In the first book of the brand-new early chapter book series, the Alien Next Door, an alien boy named Zeke tries to fit in and adjust to life on Earth, while a classmate, Harris, suspects that Zeke might not be quite what he claims to be.
Zeke is on his way to his first day of school, feeling down because he has to start over again on a new planet, as his scientist parents constantly move to wherever their research takes them. When he gets to school, no one seems to notice anything strange or different about him except Harris, a kid obsessed with science fiction and aliens. Harris sees Zeke doing extraordinary things but can't convince anyone, least of all his best friend, Roxy, that Zeke might be an alien. Roxy just thinks Harris is jealous that she's becoming friends with Zeke. But when Roxy invites Zeke over to Harris's house, will Harris find a way to prove that he's right?

This book addresses maritime piracy by focusing on the unique and
fascinating issues arising in the course of domestic piracy
prosecutions, from the pursuit and apprehension of pirates to their
trial and imprisonment. It examines novel matters not addressed in
other published works, such as the challenges in preserving and
presenting evidence in piracy trials, the rights of pirate
defendants, and contending with alleged pirates who are juveniles.
A more thorough understanding of modern piracy trials and the
precedent they have established is critical to scholars,
practitioners, and the broader community interested in
counter-piracy efforts, as these prosecutions are likely to be the
primary judicial mechanism to contend with pirate activity going
forward.
