The stories, anecdotes, humor, and insights found in this book
capture what it means to be a teacher. The book begins with common
encounters that are the hallmark of the new-teacher experience, but
continues into equally entertaining tales that come with years of
working with students, parents, staff, faculty, and administrators.
What it Means to Be a Teacher mirrors a teacher's playful sense of
irony and a deep appreciation of the old wisdom about feeling "the
impact of the great, occasional and accidental joy" which comes
with teaching. Whether a teacher, principal, or administrator,
readers will relate to the profound sense of what it means to be a
teacher.
Here, Don Cameron addresses the compelling story of the teacher
revolution that took place in America in the 1960s and 1970s. It
gives an insider's view of what happened, how it happened, and who
made it happen. It tells why teachers in America organized into
unions and became more militant in the 1960s. American teachers had
been taken for granted, under appreciated, and underpaid for almost
two centuries. When collective bargaining statutes were enacted in
many states during the 1960s and 1970s, teachers embraced those
laws with gusto and determination. In the process of doing so, they
revolutionized the teaching profession and the National Education
Association. This story also delves into why and how the NEA
changed its philosophy, programs, and structure to accommodate the
revolution from within. Overall, The Inside Story of the Teacher
Revolution in America gives insights into the character of teachers
and the obstacles they have to overcome in order to do their jobs,
and provides a historical background of both the value of public
education to this country as well as the under valuation of
teaching and teachers.For individuals with an interest in teaching
and education.

Time For Truth is the amazing true story of Brisbane's so-called
infamous Mafia Don, Antonio (Tony) Bellino. Named by the Fitzgerald
Inquiry as one of five people of interest who were allegedly
involved in corrupting the Police Force. On 12 May 1987 Tony was
accused of involvement in: drugs, prostitution, illegal gambling,
corrupting police, sly grog, Mafia connections and bird smuggling
overseas. Tony was flabbergasted, are you serious even Al Capone
didn't do all these things!The Fitzgerald Inquiry took two and a
half years to complete and Tony was never charged nor an apology
provided, he is still waiting for his name to be cleared. Tony
Bellino's story is powerful as it is starkly relevant to this day.
It is sometimes amusing, often violent, it highlights some of

Originally published in 1971. In Mysteriously Meant, Professor
Allen maps the intellectual landscape of the Renaissance as he
explains the discovery of an allegorical interpretation of Greek,
Latin, and finally Egyptian myths and the effect this discovery had
on the development of modern attitudes toward myth. He believes
that to understand Renaissance literature one must understand the
interpretations of classical myth known to the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. In unraveling the elusive strands of myth,
allegory, and symbol from the fabric of Renaissance literature such
as Milton's Paradise Lost, Allen is a helpful guide. His discussion
of Renaissance authors is as authoritative as it is inclusive. His
empathy with the scholars of the Renaissance keeps his discussion
lively-a witty study of interpreters of mythography from the past.
