In response to September 11th, 2001 and subsequent world responses after that, this book investigates universal underpinnings of knowledge and proposes this view of knowledge -- interactive exuberance or omnimodal polypossibility -- become a fourth plank of college curriculum -- called intermodality or interdisciplinarity -- to join the major, elective, and general education planks. This proposal is made as using methodologies of narrative and portraiture. This book will be of interest to any one interested in problem-solving, critical thinking, the nature of knowledge, and human interaction.

The author describes the book as being informative, as it relates to people on any age level. The book deals with situations that happen to people some on a daily basis, and some not so regular. The book deals with life in general, the quotes are informative, and can be applied to daily life. The book was written to arouse the attention of the reader, and to perhaps let the reader pay more attention as to what really goes on in life daily. The book gives suggestions on simple day to day life’s problems, and how you might be able to alleviate some of those worrisome problems. This book is not a fix all, it merely gives some simple solutions to some of the problems. The book as it is titled is uniqueness within itself, because it covers a variety of topics. The book was designed to hopefully energize the mind, uplift the spirit, and to make you the reader pay more attention to life daily around you. The author definitely believes after a person reads this book, it just might be the medicine the reader needs to jump start his or her life. I am sure many people have heard these quotes before, but never paid any serious attention to what the quotes conveyed. It is the intent of this book to arouse the curiosity of the reader, and to hopefully give the reader a different outlook on life. Life is simple when you really understand it.

"I felt like we had failed," said director of grid operations Jim Detmers in a pained voice. "In my mind, I pictured people stranded in elevators. I pictured people stranded in stores and checkout lines. All I could think of was the Inconvenience, and I'm sitting here thinking thinking, what rock did we not look under to maybe prevent this?" As the focal point of an unprecedented power crisis that has tarnished the Golden State, the California Independent System Operator (California ISO) carries the mixed burden of being a disaster survivor. Established to maintain electrical system reliability for the world's fifth-largest economy, California ISO has been both praised and vilified for its efforts amidst the chaos of blackouts, price volatility, political backlash, and market manipulations by Enron and other ruthless competitors. This book chronicles how the California ISO came to be and what happened during its first five years. More importantly, though, this is the story of the people who make up California ISO and give it an identifiable character and culture-its soul. The result is a very human drama that is otherwise unavailable from the regulatory record or media accounts of California's unparalleled power emergency.

How does a minister respond to a cry for help when the concern is alcohol or drug abuse? With one out of eight adults in the country suffering from alcohol dependency or drug abuse and one out of four families distressed by someone's use of chemicals, clergy frequently deal with related problems whether they are willing and capable, or not. How does a congregation respond to a minister who might be suffering from chemical dependency? Clergy are just as likely to suffer from the disease as any lay person, and yet denominational leaders and superiors, called upon by concerned members of the congregation, may feel powerless to discern the truth and act. Though parishioners are often called on to deal with the chemically dependent person or those suffering from the fallout, few are trained in this area. And because few clergy are trained as treatment specialists, often they only make the problem worse through personal, empathetic involvement. Instead, Alcohol and Substance Abuse shows how clergy and laity can be pastoral problem solvers, not practitioners, through intervention and referral. Throughout, the aim is to provide spiritual answers to the spiritual questions of dispirited people. This is a how-to handbook with specific descriptions and suggestions, featuring a comprehensive list of organizations and agencies equipped to help.

Educators: "It is time we stand for something, lest we fall for anything", as past demands on education have exhibited. This book is intended to offer a perspective of where education is; how it got there and to offer a new Portrait of Education. The contention is to regain the trust of our students and reestablish a relationship with them using the expertise of educators, who have been trained in how we learn, child development and enable them to remove "VIOLENCE" from the schools! Parents, attorneys, doctors, politicians, and other members of a school's community should be involved in their areas of expertise aiding educators in the reform of education.

"I'm 90 years old. I want to leave behind a legacy of hope. I want to bring radical change in the curriculum and in the way schools are organized. I want to revitalize teacher education to elevate the profession's status and to bring greater financial rewards for teachers. Finally, I believe it is essential to promote democracy within the schools and within the classroom."

What would you do as an elementary principal if an eight year old girl ran into your office with panic on her face and shouted, “Mr. Patrick, Ruby said come quick. Some men are aiming guns at the kids on the playground. Would you run to face the presumed killers or would you run the other way? And would you cry when you arrived at work one morning as the high school principal to be told a boy you cared for, but had to expel for drug use, had committed suicide the night before? Would you wrap your arms around the crying senior girl, a woman physically, but who had a little girl inside who feared her mother would die? And would you not swell with pride when a troubled young man, who had graduated the previous year, threw his arms around you and said, “I owe it all to you Mr. Patrick.”? This was a boy who everyone, including the school board, had regarded as an evil intelligent boy who should be expelled. You alone stood as a buffer between his critics and him. These then are some of the highs and lows of being an educator.
