Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Portion of a Champion ..". It was in the Year of the World 5604, the Year of Our Lord 405, Honorius being King of the World and Stilicho General of the Roman forces, that Niall of the Nine Hostages made a foray into Gaul and wasted the valley of the Loire. "This was not the first or the greatest of Niall's exploits, for he was the bravest and the most famous and powerful of all the High Kings of Ireland up to that time. Throughout his reign he was busy harrying the Roman borders, and he took hostages not only from the provinces of Ireland but from the Gaels of Alban, the Britons of the south, the Picts, the Saxons, and the Gauls of Armorica as well, and it is from these nine hostages that his name is given him. "Moreover, he forced the Leinstermen to pay him the tribute which they had refused many former High Kings. It was this that cost him his life, for the son of the King of Leinster saw him bathing in the Loire and creeping up on the opposite bank slew him treacherously with an arrow shot. "His nephew, Dathi the Quick with Weapons, came after him, not without fighting for the throne. Laegaire, Niall's youngest son, was chosen as Dathi's successor, and for some years the island was peaceful and prosperous. "It was in these days that the Huns were first seen in Gaul..."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not many women can claim to have changed history, but Nafis Sadik set that goal in her youth, and change the world she did. Champion of Choice tells the remarkable story of how Sadik, born into a prominent Indian family in 1929, came to be the world’s foremost advocate for women’s health and reproductive rights, the first female director of a United Nations agency, and “one of the most powerful women in the world” (London Times). An obstetrician, wife, mother, and devout Muslim, Sadik has been a courageous and tireless advocate for women, insisting on discussing the difficult issues that impact their lives: education, contraception, abortion, as well as rape and other forms of violence. After Sadik joined the fledgling UN Population Fund in 1971, her groundbreaking strategy for providing females with education and the tools to control their own fertility has dramatically influenced the global birthrate. This book is the first to examine Sadik’s contribution to history and the unconventional methods she has employed to go head-to-head with world leaders to improve millions of women’s lives. Interspersed between the chapters recounting Sadik’s life are vignettes of females around the globe who represent her campaign against domestic abuse, child marriage, genital mutilation, and other human rights violations. With its insights into the political, religious, and domestic battles that have dominated women’s destinies, Sadik’s life story is as inspirational as it is dramatic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poignant coming-of-age novel for middle-grade readers about a young boy obsessed with baseball whose life changes drastically when war comes to his Vancouver Japanese community. Ten-year-old Kenny (Kenji in Japanese) worships his older brother, Mickey (Mitsuo), a baseball hero whose outstanding performance on the Asahi baseball team has given him fame and popularity. Despite Kenny's suspected heart condition, he is determined to practice secretly with Mickey so he, too, can one day try out for the Asahi. But world events soon overtake life in this quiet community. When Japan attacks Pearl Harbor in 1941, everything for Kenny and his family spirals out of control: schools are closed, businesses are confiscated, fathers are arrested and sent to work camps in the BC interior and mothers and children are relocated to internment camps. When Mickey is arrested for a small act of violence, Kenny manages to keep his family's spirits up, despite the deplorable conditions in camp. Coming across a "vacant" field covered with scrap wood, broken shakes and torn tar paper, Kenny gets permission to clear it and convert it into a baseball field. One by one, the boys in the camp pitch in, and the work gives purpose to their long days. Kenny's persistence, hard work and big dreams shape the teen he is to become in this story of happiness found despite all odds.

Book excerpt: The Hound of Erin delves into the ancient history of our world, primarily of Ireland and the Celts and the mystic lore of these people.

This story fills in those gaps and softens the transition to such details in a colorful and epic event. The characters in this book have a rich mythological history, and this saga is about their greatest hero, Cuchuland, whose name was ever on the lips of the bards and poets, who flamed like a comet through the pages of the ancient manuscripts on Celtic mythology. This hero of two separate worlds gained his fame and honor in the world of man by fighting great battles and servings the kings of Ireland and those of the sidhe (faerie)realm. Any fan of Tolkien's popular books - The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, etc. will love The Hound of Erin, and also Cash Bond's other book, The Faerie Bard.

Book excerpt: TEACH YOUR STUDENTS TO READ WITH PRECISION AND INSIGHT The world we are preparing our students to succeed in is one bound together by words and phrases. Our students learn their literature, history, math, science, or art via a firm foundation of strong reading skills. When we teach students to read with precision, rigor, and insight, we are truly handing over the key to the kingdom. Of all the subjects we teach reading is first among equals. Grounded in advice from effective classrooms nationwide, enhanced with more than 40 video clips, Reading Reconsidered takes you into the trenches with actionable guidance from real-life educators and instructional champions. The authors address the anxiety-inducing world of Common Core State Standards, distilling from those standards four key ideas that help hone teaching practices both generally and in preparation for assessments. This 'Core of the Core' comprises the first half of the book and instructs educators on how to teach students to: read harder texts, 'closely read' texts rigorously and intentionally, read nonfiction more effectively, and write more effectively in direct response to texts. The second half of Reading Reconsidered reinforces these principles, coupling them with the 'fundamentals' of reading instruction—a host of techniques and subject specific tools to reconsider how teachers approach such essential topics as vocabulary, interactive reading, and student autonomy. Reading Reconsidered breaks an overly broad issue into clear, easy-to-implement approaches. Filled with practical tools, including: 44 video clips of exemplar teachers demonstrating the techniques and principles in their classrooms (note: for online access of this content, please visit my.teachlikeachampion.com) Recommended book lists Downloadable tips and templates on key topics like reading nonfiction, vocabulary instruction, and literary terms and definitions. Reading Reconsidered provides the framework necessary for teachers to ensure that students forge futures as lifelong readers.
