Never Too Old to Teach is a heart-warming story of a middle-aged
man's first year of teaching high school after spending twenty
years in a corporate cubicle. Written in a humorous,
straightforward style with minimal technical jargon, this book
provides richly detailed accounts of events, lessons, and
conversations that actually took place in the author's special
education English classroom. Goldman's accounts are accompanied by
narratives and reflections that give the reader insight into the
true nature of teaching high school English to a diverse student
body with learning disabilities, covering issues such as
maintaining classroom control, effective curriculum development,
collaboration with families for positive student outcomes,
successfully working with administration, the benefits of teaching
in middle age, and establishing student rapport.
An electrifying science thriller that will have you questioning the
truths you think you know. Jack Roseman, experimenting at home with
ways to shut down the coal-fired power generation industry that
killed his father, accidentally discovers a strangely-colored
mistake of a solar cell that generates an unheard-of, impossible,
electrifying torrent of power. He vows that his cell will topple
the sooty smokestacks of the coal-fired power plants of Sully
Energy, the largest coal conglomerate in the world. Fearful of
drawing the attention of those in power at Sully, he agonizes over
how to proceed. Each course of action is both tantalizing and
treacherous. He finally enlists the help of his bawdy friend Payton
and his insightful girlfriend Terin to devise a shrewd plan to
announce the cell's existence to the right people. He puts his plan
into action and meets with them. At first, they're skeptical-but
the tests they perform thrill Jack to the stunning truth: he
possesses the key to unlock the sun. The news of his discovery
travels fast-to the wrong people. He is unwittingly, unwillingly
thrown into a battle against an army of those sinister and
tenacious who will stop at nothing to destroy him and the
sapphire-hued miracle that he possesses. But, they have made an
error. They have underestimated Jack Roseman. With swift, cunning
tactics, he crafts a counterattack of his own. He matches their
deceit, their guile, their willingness to risk everything. But will
it be enough? Will he survive his attempts to find the truth within
the lies, keep Terin and Payton safe, and bring his sunlit dream to
reality?
