  In Teach for Climate Justice, accomplished educator and social and emotional learning expert Tom Roderick proposes a visionary interdisciplinary and intersectional approach to PreK–12 climate education. He argues that meaningful instruction on this urgent issue of our time must focus on climate justice—the convergence of climate change and social justice—in a way that is emotionally safe, developmentally appropriate, and ultimately empowering. 
   
   
    
  Drawing on examples of real-life educators teaching climate change, Roderick identifies eight key dimensions of climate education that will prepare students to face the challenges of the climate crisis and give them the means to take action. These dimensions include not only educating for a deep understanding of the scientific, geopolitical, and socioeconomic equity issues that surround global warming, but also cultivating appreciation for the environment, building a supportive community, and fostering active hope for the future. In support of this crucial endeavor, Roderick suggests evidence-based teaching strategies, practices that promote inclusivity, and tools for social and emotional learning. 
   
   
    
  This timely and uplifting book lays out a powerful vision for teaching, learning, and curriculum development to nurture a generation of courageous, informed advocates for climate justice.

  Reaching the Moon: The History...

  The Apollo Program is the most famous and celebrated in American history, but the first successful landing of men on the Moon during Apollo 11 had complicated roots dating back over a decade, and it also involved one of NASA’s most infamous tragedies. From 1959-1963, the United States worked toward putting satellites and humans into orbit via the Mercury program, but Eisenhower’s administration was already designing plans for the Apollo program by 1960, a year before the first Russian orbited the Earth and two years before John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. 
  At the same time, America would begin missions to the Moon as early as 1958. On March 27, 1958, Secretary of Defense Neil McElroy announced a lunar project for the International Geophysical Year, consisting of three Air Force launches followed by two Army launches of a JPL-designed lunar probe. ARPA directed the Air Force to launch its probes "as soon as possible consistent with the requirement that a minimal amount of useful data concerning the Moon be obtained." 
  Throughout the 1960s, NASA would spend tens of billions on missions to the Moon, the most expensive peacetime program in American history to that point, and Apollo was only made possible by the tests conducted through earlier missions, including the historic Ranger Program. Conceived as an early part of the attempt to land a man on the Moon, Ranger was designed to photograph the lunar surface in preparation for future landings. Until Ranger, images of the Moon were only available through Earth-based telescopes, which lacked the detail necessary to determine safe sites for landing a spacecraft. Ranger aimed to fill in that gap of knowledge, and like many of NASA’s missions during the 1960s, the program exemplified both the successes and the failures of the agency’s early years.

  In October 2016, driven by a keen interest in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, 3D printing, regenerative medicine, Bitcoin, and blockchain, Richard embarked on a journey to unravel the mysteries of these fields. This passion culminated in the creation of the Future Tech Podcast. From the beginning, his goal was to find geniuses—the top 1% in their field who are almost impossible to reach from the outside. 
  Following a significant health crisis in 2017, Richard shifted his focus to health, medicine, and bioscience issues that impact us all, and the Finding Genius Podcast was born. His growing commitment to fostering understanding and innovation led him to establish the Finding Genius Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting revolutionary research initiatives. 
  Driven by a mission to unearth transformative insights in the science of health and wellness, the foundation aims to make these insights accessible to everyday individuals who stand to benefit the most. Complementing this endeavor, Richard hosts two additional podcasts, The Good Question and Surviving Hard Times, both committed to delivering life-enriching and practical information. 
  Richard's extensive interviews with nearly 4,000 scientists, researchers, clinicians, CEOs, CSOs, entrepreneurs, and amateur scientists have resulted in a rich knowledge database and the Finding Genius book series, covering relevant and intriguing topics, including viruses, cancer, sleep health, and microplastics. This collection encompasses firsthand accounts of unique experiences and extraordinary insights.
