Wine Country

California's Napa & Sonoma Valleys

By: John Doerper

In Empowering Students: Seven Strategies for a Smart Start in School and Life, educators Robert Brower and Amy Keller provide teachers with seven powerful steps that build character and promote success in students' lives. These steps include making critical distinctions; building strong and resilient relationships; avoiding negative attention; positive body language; small, positive behaviors and actions; practicing "mirror relationship building"; and understanding and accepting consequences of your actions. The character-building approach outlined in this book demonstrates that positive traits can be developed subtly, as evidenced by a multitude of stories testifying to the credibility of the concepts, and the impact of these strategies can be witnessed almost immediately. With the potential to revolutionize methods of building character and gaining success among learners, Empowering Students will be of interest to all educators."--BOOK JACKET.

Pacific Northwest

Pacific Northwest

By: John Doerper

Columbus 'discovered' the Caribbean, not North America, and it was in the Caribbean that the Amerindians first felt the effects of European steel, gunpowder and (deadlier by far) microbes. The region became a pawn in the European struggle for empire and, later, a significant player in the developing Atlantic economy. Its economic importance rested on a substructure of African slavery, which provided labour for the numerous plantations across the region. However, slaves resisted slavery and, ultimately, the Abolitionist cause was carried successfully in the British parliament and gradually elsewhere." "Gad Heuman is an expert guide to this history, dwelling not only on the political and social struggles but providing also a sense of the development and flowering of Caribbean culture."--BOOK JACKET.
