The Legacy of the ForceThe Legacy of the Force is a series of nine science fiction novels set in the Star Wars fictional universe from 40 ABY to an unspecified time. The series is being written by Troy Denning, Aaron Allston and Karen Traviss.
The series contains a mix of hardcover and paperback releases. The plan was to allow each author to write one hardcover novel and two paperbacks, with the first, middle (fifth), and final (ninth) novels being the hardcover releases, and the other novels being in paperback.[1] An abridged audiobook version of each story is also released concurrently with each book.

The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America: A Chronological Paper Trail
60
 
 

For years many parents and teachers have known that there was something wrong in the schools but often couldn't put a finger on it. Starting with receiving an invasive questionnaire brought home by her young son, Charlotte started a search which has culminated in one of the most amazing books. The book is attractively laid out and invites readers to discover what has been happening to American education for the past 100 years -- all with quotes from those "change agents" who deliberately set out to have schools changed from individual excellence in becoming educated to groups being trained to think alike.

How To Write & Publish a Scientific Paper?

The purpose of this book is to help scientists and students of the sciences in all disciplines to prepare manuscripts that will have a high probability of being accepted for publication and of being completely understood when they are published. Because the requirements of journals vary widely from discipline to discipline, and even within the same discipline, it is not possible to offer recommendations that are universally acceptable. In this book, I present certain basic principles that are accepted in most disciplines.
