As I travel around the United States and Canada as a safety
consultant and motivational speaker for schools, colleges,
universities, and private industry, I am amazed at the information
found on cooking located in bookstores and restaurants. Why write a
book about popcorn? Because I love popcorn, but more importantly,
like a student in a classroom, I had a need to learn more about one
of my favorite snacks. This book does more than just explain how to
pop corn. This book can be used by teachers as a history lesson and
be used in home economics, science classes, math classes,
agricultural classrooms, etc. Hopefully, this book will be used as
another fun tool to educate children. Everyone loves popcorn It is
my hope that you enjoy this book.

AN AMBITIOUS WOMAN SEEKS A CHANGE IN HER LIFE... Leaving the
Scottish Highlands for a career as a English Literature professor
became more elusive for a Scottish farm girl than she originally

exclusive University in all of England. She met a tall handsome
stranger who rescued her, and then guided her through a new life as

for the most important person in her life. Her newfound passion to
save the person she loved directed her life in a totally different
direction. In an effort to save him from dying Emily chose a future

"When you are in a hole, stop digging." The wisdom of Will Rogers,
American humorist, seems to be forgotten with respect to scholarly
research in the arts, social sciences, business, and education. Why
do doctoral candidates and professors produce scholarship that
minimally advances knowledge and has no impact on producing
educated and productive citizens? Rarely seen outside a closed club
of scholars and journals, scholarly research serves only to
demonstrate mastery of an art form that is not relevant in the
mainstream of higher education. This book proposes reforms starting
with the doctoral dissertation. The issue is that the
dissertation's over emphasis on obscure research undermines the
subsequent scholarship expected of professors in our colleges and
universities. This book discusses reforms in doctoral programs to
improve the value of and process to complete a doctoral
dissertation.

This book argues for changes in the common cultural heritage of an
educated person. It addresses the need to differentiate teaching
and scholarship. It proposes expansive views of an undergraduate
education. It explains why colleges and universities must replace
parochialism, reform the public perception of higher education,
revise the professoriate, restructure the liberal arts curriculum,
and extend the lessons of the liberal arts beyond the classroom.

The changing role and expectations of higher education have reached
a crisis point. The heart of the problem is an isolation of the
professoriate. An emphasis on obscure research and lack of
accountability is undermining the academy. Creating a dissertation
is usually an exhausting and frustrating task. New professors are
not prepared for what is about to happen to them. Students are
being shortchanged by professors who fail to facilitate learning.
The effort to find a long-term academic appointment can be just as
bad. This book tells the story of a period of suffering for new
professors quite comparable to the description of purgatory in
Dante's Divine Comedy. This book documents the story.

Unfortunate obsessions dominate the culture of colleges and
universities and shortchange students and everyone else. Professors
have become an obstacle to learning. They are not interested in or
rewarded for teaching. They scramble to survive in a surreal world
of nonsense scholarship and obscure publication. They conduct
meaningless research and treat teaching with disdain. Learning
takes place because students make it happen in spite of the
foolishness that surrounds them. Professors don't explain, listen,
or give feedback. Many don't speak understandable English. This
book throws open the door of the faculty lounge and tells the
dramatic and even embarrassing story. It recommends major changes
in the professoriate to restore confidence in higher education.
