Meet Jack Brennan, a twenty-one-year-old educational greenhorn armed with a bachelor's degree in secondary science education, a reasonable degree of intelligence, and a woefully shallow pool of experience. He easily lands a job with the Buffalo Public School District and realizes too late that he's been tossed into the meat grinder that is urban education. As his first year progresses, the school of hard knocks introduces him to inept administrators, burned-out teachers, asocial children, apathetic parents, a naïve court system, and a seriously flawed bureaucracy. Jack's tribulations include a riotous school invasion, the theft of his car by a student, and a desperate drive through a blizzard while attempting to return his students from an ill-fated camping trip. When a major tragedy strikes, Jack plods numbly along in the wake of the school community's loss. He must decide if all the heartache is worth the effort. Success could make teaching a life's career. Failure will make him desperate for a way to support his life. Advance Praise for Schooling Mr. Brennan "I think Schooling Mr. Brennan should be required reading to teachers and parents. It's a solid, compelling read." -Hayward Allen, Author, Editor, and Literary Critic
This volume aims to document the authors' prescription for the architecture, the way the component services are fitted together to provide collaborative tools for video, audio and shared workspaces. The authors have decided to take a new approach to the field by using a prescriptive rather than descriptive style. The text is aimed at technical readers such as developers, undergraduate or postgraduate (MSc) courses on multimedia and networking, and professionals. The subjects covered include the network requirements, the media encoding techniques including basic compression techniques, the protocols (rtp/rtcp, rsvp etc.), the distributed algorithms for synchronization, reliability, security and so on.
Millions of Jews, Christians, and Muslims believe that a 2,500-year-old prophecy is about to be fulfilled: a global, apocalyptic jihad of many nations against the tiny state of Israel, whose recent re-emergence in its traditional land has sparked unrelenting rage and attack. Repeated resolutions passed in the United Nations reflect world-wide and nearly unanimous hostility against the so-called Zionist entityeven to the point of denying its right to exist. Most news media and political analysts seem unaware of the ancient prophecy that not only predicts this apocalyptic war, but also, amazingly, how this prophecy by Ezekiel (chapters 3644) provides the scenario for numerous best-selling books in both the English-speaking and Muslim worlds! These best sellers not only describe this great conflagration, but actually also motivate their readers to prepare for it! The Prophecy That Is Shaping History represents a major advance in research and scholarship in examining the historical and contemporary impact of Ezekielʼs prophecy on world events. This academic monograph also offers a wealth of new evidence in tracing the identities, origins, and ultimate destinies of the key nations of Ezekielʼs prophecy who are seen to participate in what millions believe will be the most horrific battle the world will ever witness.
