Book Description
This book traces the journey of two individuals who have spent their lives on both sides of the teacher/professor's desk. Between them, they went from attending kindergarten to being a college president, and in that journey, they held positions ranging from classroom teacher in the New York City public schools, every rank of the professorial ladder, to almost every administrative position available in a university. In their book, Marcus and Vairo are totally candid in relating their experiences in their various roles. They are highly opinionated, but these opinions are based on the realities they encountered with students and colleagues at all levels of education. This book utilizes vignettes as well as commentaries to tell a story of two educators who have worked at every part of the United States. There is little that has happened in education since the 1940's down to the present day that is not touched on in this book. Marcus and Vairo are "insiders" with no ax to grind. They tell the truth as they see it!

Book Description
In 1938, Jason Gilbert, a world famous composer, undergoes dangerous brain surgery to discover why he is suffering from debilitating headaches. The surgeons discover a brain tumor and remove it. To everyone's relief, the tumor is found to be benign. However, Gilbert soon discovers that the surgery has rendered him tone deaf. Bereft of his talent, he desperately searches for a new life. Gilbert travels to Paris-the scene of one of his many musical triumphs-where he gets caught up in a bizarre escapade involving famous journalists, Soviet secret police, an attractive divorcée, and desperate musicians. This leads to a chain of events that takes Gilbert and others to Marseilles, New York, Hollywood, Mexico City, Acapulco, Costa Rica, Lisbon, and the battlefields of France during World War II. He also meets an eclectic group of people: French painter Henri Matisse; German composer Arnold Schoenberg; Hungarian novelist Arthur Koestler; American journalist Bertram Wolfe; dictator Joseph Stalin; America's greatest code-breaker, William Friedman; and William Donovan, the head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), who makes Gilbert a charter staff member of the new organization. Working for the OSS makes Gilbert feel alive. But will music ever again play a part in his life?

Book Description
Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Trump:Images from Literature and Visual Arts treats literature, film, television series, and comic books dealing with utopian and dystopian worlds reflecting on or anticipating our current age. From Henry James’s dreamlike utopia of “The Great Good Place” to the psychotic world of Brett Easton Ellis’s American Psycho, from science fiction and recent horror films, television adaptations of books such as Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, and new series such as Black Mirror to the repressive Hitlerian dystopia of Katherine Burdekin’s Swastika Night, the contributors examine the development of scenarios that either prefigure the rise of individuals such as Donald J. Trump or suggest alternatives to them. Ultimately, one might say of the worlds presented here, viewed from different social and political perspectives: one person’s utopia is another’s dystopia. This is the fifth in a series of books edited by Barbara Brodman and James E. Doan, and published by Rowman & Littlefield with Fairleigh Dickinson University Press. The Universal Vampire: Origins and Evolution of a Legend and Images of the Modern Vampire: The Hip and the Atavistic (both in 2013) focused on the vampire legend in traditional and modern thought. The Supernatural Revamped: From Timeworn Legends to Twenty-First-Century Chic (2016) examined a range of supernatural beings in literature, film, and other forms of popular culture. Apocalyptic Chic: Visions of the Apocalypse and Post-Apocalypse in Literature and Visual Arts (2017) dealt with legends and images of the apocalypse and post-apocalypse in film and graphic arts, literature and lore from early to modern times, and from peoples and cultures around the world.

Detective Harry McCoy hasn't got time to wait.

Book Description
Newly promoted to the rank of Senior Sergeant at his beloved Carlton Police Station and out of the firing line of day-to-day street policing, Tony Signorotto is hoping that the old street wars that raged between him and his mafia relatives are battles of the past. Now married to his long-time girlfriend, Tony is looking to extend his career and look after his charter of the safety of the suburb of Carlton in Melbourne's north. Life should be less complicated now. He has made the sacrifice of life on the edge for nine-to-five and the paperwork routine surrounding his mahogany foxhole - until the rumours of a possible firearms raid on the Victoria Police Department. Enough handguns, if stolen, to flood the streets of Carlton and every major city in Australia. Fast-paced, and brilliantly plotted, Calibre of Justice is also frighteningly real!
