Matt and His Hats is an uplifting and heartwarming story about friendship and values. Written in 1999, when I was in fifth grade, my teacher remarked, "Seth - An outstanding picture book - a terrific, fun story with a great message. And your illustrations are superb. Bravo! A++." Colorfully illustrated and easy to read, this book will be enjoyed by both parents and children. In my fifth grade English class, I learned the process of writing a children's book, including story development, illustration, and layout. Matt and His Hats was born. I felt a tremendous sense of pride and accomplishment when I completed my book. Encouraged by my teacher, parents, and friends, I tried to publish my book without success. Realizing that writing a children's book can help develop interest in reading and writing at a young age, I created Kid's Books By Kids, a program that annually selects one child to become a published author. Every year, each participating elementary school in Westchester and Long Island will choose the two most outstanding books written by its students. A volunteer panel of parents, teachers, and authors will decide the book to be published. The book can be purchased at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com, and Authorhouse.com.

An exploration of the five main types of germs-bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, and helminths-and the human immune system that protects us against them"--
No Boomeresque celebration of the "music that defined an era," Rock and Roll vs. Modern Life is instead a deeply critical analysis of rock and roll as a chaotic, caterwauling project to upend the foundational presumptions of postwar values. What we have here is the closest thing yet to a unified field theory of rock and roll. In seminal performances, films, and recordings, Iggy Pop, James Brown, Patti Smith, the Last Poets, and the Sex Pistols disrupt the implicit ontologies of modernism and late-stage capitalism. With its comrades, conceptual art, Black power, and poststructuralism, rock and roll strips back the linoleum surface of modern life to reveal a feral sensibility unwilling to be boxed up for clean consumption.
