This treatise offers a systematic argument for implementing significant structural changes to traditional American secondary education. It posits that the existing education system does not serve the needs of up to eighty percent of public high school students and that the principles of competition, standardization, and efficiency, which currently drive the system, serve to create a student academic hierarchy from which the top 20%-30% of four-year college applicants are drawn. Following a methodical analysis of the existing structure, the treatise examines the effects of the three principles as they shape students' cognitive, social, and emotional development. Thereafter, it discusses general alternative principles for structural change and puts forth a concrete example of a viable alternative education system. The treatise concludes with an assessment that such changes would have upon students, teachers, parents, and administrators within the education community.

Chiropractic Peace marks the beginning of the end for infighting between mixers (broad-scope) and straights (focused-scope). The three refreshing essays by Drs. Reed Phillips, Ashley Cleveland, and Gerry Clum introduce chiropractic leaders, students, faculty and practitioners to a new, less contentious, dialogue on the political, sociological, philosophical and historical issues of our profession. After years of polemical argumentation, reading Chiropractic Peace is like getting a new pair of glasses or a much-needed spinal adjustment. Uplifting relief Instead of seeking peace by trying to hammer out compromises, which many do not find successful in the end, the three writers utilize the concept of pluralism to construct a "big tent" which will accommodate all ethical chiropractors who adhere to basic chiropractic principles.
The three contributors bring a much-needed respectful tone to the discourse. And in an important turn for the profession, each writer acknowledges that all of the camps-focused-scope, middle-scope, and broad-scope-are committed to ethical and skillful practice.
