Why are mental developments during childhood so important to children's futures?' 'The leading premise of this book is that children's early life experiences forever shape their ability to learn, think, and conduct their adult lives.' 'International tests consistently disgrace the schooling and achievement of U.S. students. The public is either unaware of the disaster or hasn't taken it seriously, even though it's equivalent to the catastrophes of Pearl Harbor and 9/11 . . .' According to: Wayne H. Holtzman, PhD, Dean, College of Education (retired), President, Hogg Foundation for Mental Health (retired), The University of Texas at Austin: '(Al's) keen insight into the emotional socialization, learning, and creative thinking of a developing child in our ever-more complex world is indeed impressive. Any parent or teacher could profit from a careful reading of this thought-provoking book.' * * * * * * * * Albert Yee (EdD, 1965, Stanford) has served as a distinguished classroom teacher for seven years in California and 30 years as professor of psychology and education and academic dean in America and East Asia. For his outstanding service and original research and publications, he has been elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Psychological Association, American Psychological Society, and Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues. Al is proud of his children's success and having raised them. His daughter is a surgery professor, specializing in breast cancer, and his son is a State Dept.

2012 was a year of financial crises and ecological disasters, of endings and forebodings. The world did not end on December 21st as the Mayan calendar predicted, but became the stage for new beginnings, utopian communities, protest groups and solidarity movements. The essays in this book form an intertextual space for negotiating meaningful facts and fictions with an aim to understanding the present. Discussions focus on utopia and dystopia from literature and film, not only within the framework of science fiction but also critical theory, gender politics and social sciences. The authors of these essays are international academics whose interest lies in utopian studies and who attended the 13th International Conference of Utopian Studies, “The Shape of Things to Come”, held in Tarragona, Spain, in 2012.

Afraid of flying, college professor Hallie Monroe embarks on a train trip from Chicago to Salt Lake City. Only riding the train to avoid flying to a conference for a presentation all but guaranteeing tenure, she attracts the attention of another passenger. This other passenger just so happens to be a mysteriously handsome man traveling with a precocious eight-year-old boy. Accompanying his nephew, not allowed to fly due to a medical condition, businessman Gregory St. Clair takes the train home to Denver. Typically he would fly, but as fate would have it, he meets Hallie Monroe and falls instantly head over heels. Even though Gregory does not normally date, he has no lack of confidence with women. Their romance buds quickly, but with a thousand miles between their everyday lives, that budding relationship lacks the foundation to take root. Gregory, however, will not be deterred. He has a plan. But will Hallie and Gregory make the choice and do what it takes to overcome the barriers of distance keeping them apart? Full of romance and heart, this charming instalove romance is another engaging sweet meet-cute novel from Kathryn Kaleigh.

First published in 1968, Yesterday’s Tomorrows elucidates on the favourite occupation of man: forecasting the future. By man’s predictions, he mirrors his own wish-fulfilments, displacements, projections, denials, evasions and withdrawals. These predications can take the form of countries of the imagination, ‘mirror worlds’ like Rabelais’ Ever-Ever lands or the Erewhon of Butler. Alternatively, they may spring from panic, reflecting fear rather than hope, often manifesting themselves, in our technological age, as reports of ‘flying saucers’ or invasions from another planet. In either form, they provide philosophers, scientists, doctors and sociologists with material for evaluating man’s future needs, offering both criticism of our present society, plans for our future, and release from tension and disequilibrium. Professor Armytage shows in this book how such ‘visions’ can, and do, refresh minds for renewed grappling with the present by arming them with ideas for man’s future needs. He indicates that, out of an apparent welter of futuristic fantasies, a constructive debate about tomorrow is emerging, providing us with operational models of what tomorrow could be. This book will hold special interest for students of philosophy and of English literature.

The year is 1982. As politicians bicker, a neutral Britain's decline accelerates into anarchy. The Prime Minister accepts the Russian offer to 'help restore law and order'. Faced with a national breakdown he has no choice. Millions collaborate. But as Soviet troops take over Britain's streets, men like Harry Andrews and Jamie Boyle go underground. For them there is only one answer to the life-and-death question: Is freedom worth fighting for? A nation demoralised, a way of life obliterated: they said it could never happen...but there are flashes of resistance from a freedom loving few...

An exciting book about real-life technology derived from science fiction and its impact on the world. Science fiction is a vital part of popular culture, influencing the way we all look at the world. TV shows like Star Trek and movies from Forbidden Planet to Inception have influenced scientists to enter the profession and have shaped our futures. Science fiction doesn't set out to predict what will happen - it's far more about how human beings react to "What if?..." - but it is fascinating to see how science fiction and reality sometimes converge, sometimes take extraordinarily different paths. Ten Billion Tomorrows brings to life a whole host of science fiction topics, from the virtual environment of The Matrix and the intelligent computer HAL in 2001, to force fields, ray guns and cyborgs. We discover how science fiction has excited us with possibilities, whether it is Star Trek's holodeck inspiring makers of iconic video games Doom and Quake to create the virtual interactive worlds that transformed gaming, or the strange physics that has made real cloaking devices possible. Mixing remarkable science with the imagination of our greatest science fiction writers, Ten Billion Tomorrows will delight science fiction lovers and popular science devotees alike.
