Uncle Shelby's Circus chronicles the day to day life of an American
G.I. as recalled many years after war at the urging, and with the
encouragement of, family members. This war story, unlike so many
others, does not get into the political arena or deal with the
battlefield trauma as so many others before. Even in a war zone,
this "Circus" was found to be amusing to the soldiers of A Company,
62nd Engineer Battalion, and the story highlights how the American
soldier can, and does, make the best of the bad situations.

Regularly, schools and their personnel enact school disciplinary
practices without considering how to harness the engagement of
students, practitioners, and communities to enact transformative
changes that reduce if not eliminate punitive school discipline
approaches. Reimagining School Discipline for the 21st Century
centralizes the assets and strengths of historically marginalized
students and the professional knowledge of school personnel as
possible avenues to implement solutions to eliminate school
discipline disproportionality. Rather than redressing the issues of
school discipline disproportionality overall, this book examines
the existence of school on student groups who, according to
research and national and state reports, are afflicted the most:
African American, Latinx, Native American, and LGBTQ+ population. A
confluence of these identities can exacerbate such
disproportionality, which based on the literature decreases the
academic growth of students. However, situated within these
disparities are opportunities to better and critically engage
students based on their cultural, racial/ethnic, and social
emotional learning assets. The significant feature of this book
lies in its purpose and audience reach. Each chapter was written
based on the scholar's affinity to that student group or
practitioner's affiliation to that specific profession. This
provides a genuine perspective and knowledge based on first hand
experiences concerning school discipline and applicable approaches
to remedy such issues. Additionally, all the chapters articulate
the pressing issue of school discipline according to their group,
and explicates best-practices to best serve the assets of students
in K-12 school settings. As this book is situated, the intended
audience is for the following stakeholders, policy makers, social
workers, school counselors, school administrators, teachers, and
community organizers who want to make impactful and socially-just
changes in their school(s) immediately.

Covering the transition from the Cold War to an uncertain
post-Cold War era, this volume shows policy makers and political
leaders grappling with the loss of a paradigm that provided
intellectual stability for 50 years. It examines changes in the
security landscape, institutions, weapons, and U.S. military
actions. The volume includes U.S. government documents from 1987 to
1994 covering national security institutions, changing visions of
the international security landscape, post-Cold War East-West
relations, nuclear strategy and arms control, and U.S. involvement
in Central America, the Persian Gulf, Somalia, and Haiti. Each
chapter begins with an introduction to frame the issues, events,
and policy proposals. An introductory chapter establishes a
framework for the study of U.S. national security. The concluding
chapter is a note on primary research sources on the subject.
This volume establishes a sense of history and perspective in
the study and teaching of contemporary national security. A careful
reading of these documents should bring insights into the policy
process along with the meaning of American values, interests, and
national strategy--at least from the perspective of U.S. government
officials. In this respect, the primary documents speak for
themselves.
There has been an increasing issue in STEM education as many
students lack interest and knowledge in STEM disciplines and
fields. Given the high demand for STEM workers, and the projected
growth of STEM fields, it is important to expose students to STEM
education beginning as early as elementary school. Some K-6
programs are not preparing teacher candidates adequately for STEM
content or skills, especially in engineering. Integrating these
disciplines and practices throughout elementary education programs
could result in more exposure for K-6 students. Using STEM-Focused
Teacher Preparation Programs to Reimagine Elementary Education
presents anecdotal stories of how elementary education programs
have altered their content offerings, field experiences, and
curricula to expand their teacher candidates' knowledge and
exposure to STEM disciplines and fields. Covering key topics such
as diversity, teacher education, and technology integration, this
premier reference source is ideal for industry professionals,
policymakers, administrators of K-12 education, pre-service
teachers, teacher educators, researchers, scholars, academicians,
practitioners, instructors, and students.
