Hollow and Inner Earth Stories...

Martin K. Ettington

This book is about legends of the Hollow Earth and other underground cities and civilizations which might all be related. 
The concept of there being a hollow Earth or inner area of the Earth where people have lived and do still exist has been around for hundreds of years. 
Other stories and legends of underground cities are also discussed to show that there are many stories of people and other beings living underground in our past and maybe up until the present era. 
Usually there is some fact as the basis for legends so all these stories make we wonder if there is some reality about civilizations existing underground on this Earth. These legends are geographically diverse and from different cultures so maybe there is something to them. 
Near the end of the book I include some incredible science data about life actually existing miles under our Earth and an example of a real underground city we know about and have visited.

Educating for Purposeful Life documents positive change within the Anaheim Union High School District, whose overarching mission is to prepare high school graduates who possess a clear sense of purpose and the capacity to achieve their goals. Superintendent Michael Matsuda and education consultant David Brazer lay out the district's innovative approaches to organizing, leading, teaching, and learning. They demonstrate how education policy, organization theory, and external partnerships work together to scaffold student success, resulting in greater high school graduation rates and four-year college matriculation and persistence rates. 
 
 
  
This work illuminates the district's Career Preparedness Systems Framework, which integrates affective and cognitive development opportunities, trade and professional development programs, and community engagement efforts.

Presenting secondary education as a means to support democracy, address employability gaps, and elevate student voice and purpose, this thought-provoking work provides ample ideas for how other districts might engage in educating for purposeful life.

Teachers - The Ones I Can’t Forget

Martin Fletcher

Teachers are the people Martin Fletcher met throughout his work as a news correspondent, often on the worst day of their lives. He watched as they picked up the pieces following personal tragedy and discovered the invaluable lesson of carrying on, no matter the circumstances.  Through intimate profiles, Martin Fletcher's Teachers details the struggles of everyday people in extraordinary circumstances—war, revolution, natural disasters and yes, life. Fletcher's writing is uplifting as he examines the truth of resilience despite hardship. These are the people he sought out in his international reporting, detailing their woes while celebrating their will to survive and recover.  Teachers offers a unique take on reporting, as it features a traveling photo exhibit that Fletcher created to accompany the book. Each chapter is paired with an extraordinary digital montage to illustrate the stories taken directly from his reporting from NBC news programs. At a time when news coverage is often dismissed as fake or biased, Teachers is a welcome reminder of the integrity, devotion and empathy that goes into true reporting of the world. As Tom Brokaw wrote, "Fletcher has a calling."
