"Dr. Smith''s book, Discovering Effective Reading Instruction, is a true discovery. He easily explains the reading process and offers solutions and resources that are ready to implement in any classroom. He breaks the reading process down into a step-by-step process that is easy to follow and understand. It takes differentiated reading instruction to the next level as it shows how to find what skills students are missing, how to fill the holes, and move them on to the next level. He takes the hard task of small group instruction and simplifies how to implement it and do it well. This should be in the hands of every classroom teacher as it takes away the teacher guessing and gives them the tools to help every student meet or exceed grade level reading goals." Dawn Kennison-Kerrigan, Instructional Coach"The ideas in Discovering Effective Reading Instruction are easy to apply. It is a great resource for veteran teachers and new teachers alike. I have seen firsthand how a scientific approach to reading builds a strong foundation for all readers but especially those with learning disabilities. Every elementary teacher needs this book!" - Ashley Nicodemus, Kindergarten Teacher and Language Specialist"Discovering Effective Reading Instruction covers so many important reading topics in a way that any teacher (novice or seasoned) should be aware of. Dr. Smith reminds us that reading is not a natural brain function, and simplifies many of the more complex reading skills. He emphasizes the importance of phonological/phonemic awareness as a foundation for later reading instruction, as well as touching on topics such as dyslexia and small-group instruction. The book reads with the tone of a mentor sharing information on the importance of reading instruction." Michelle Raible, Title I Teacher

How to Meet a Supermodel is a romantic comedy screenplay for what is destined to become a Hollywood blockbuster. Tom Finn just graduated from college and has a ridiculous plan: He''s going on a road trip from Columbus, Ohio to Los Angeles to try to meet a famous supermodel by giving her a 6-foot-tall portrait he painted of her. Words like "stalker" and "lunatic" come to mind, but Tom is actually just a perfectionist dreamer who has spent too much of his first twenty-two years fantasizing about "the ideal woman" and keeping life neat and orderly. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) for Tom, he brings his two best friends along on the road trip--Pete the extremely handsome uber-hunk and Dennis the hippie pothead with a 140 I.Q. On Day 1, Pete picks up a young woman at a truck stop and convinces Tom to let them bring her along, and Dennis reveals a secret that threatens to derail their whole summer and possibly land them in prison or get them shot. And just like that, Tom''s plan to meet the supermodel goes from unlikely to lightning-strike impossible. Will the travelers even make it to L.A.'' Will Tom get to meet the supermodel? And if he does, will she still be the woman of his dreams?

What if you could completely stop paying federal income taxes? Not one cent, ever again? What if that was the same for every citizen of America, whether they earned thirty thousand dollars, one hundred thousand dollars or even ten million dollars? That would be a life changer. And what if, despite none of us paying any income taxes any more, the government could also completely eliminate our suffocating deficit, offer a basic income for everybody in America, and provide welfare, free health coverage, and free higher education? How might that change America''s outlook?It''s a real possibility. This book is a response to our urgent need to address taxation, debt and the US deficit, but from a radical new perspective. Much more ambitious and disruptive than closing loopholes in the income tax code-which was Obama''s suggestion-it puts forward a policy that involves eliminating income taxes altogether. It puts forward a policy that could save America.Paperback Color Edition

This thesis examines the role of the media and popular culture in defining the shape and scope of what we think of today as "science." As a source of cognitive authority the scientific establishment is virtually beyond dispute. The intellectual clout of science seemingly elevates it to a position outside the influence of the general population. Yet in reality the emergence and evolution of the public sphere, including popular culture, has had a profound impact on the definition and application of science. What science is and how it relates to the life of the ordinary person are hardly static concepts; the public perception of science has been molding its boundaries since at least the 18th century. During the Enlightenment "natural philosophy" was broadly accessible and integrated nicely with other forms of knowledge. As the years passed into the 19th century, however, science became increasingly professionalized and distinct, until the "Two Cultures" had fully developed. The established scientific institution distanced itself from the nonscientific community, leaving the task of communicating scientific knowledge to various popularizers, who typically operated through the media and often used the mantle of science to further their own social or political agendas. Such isolation from orthodox science forced the public to create an alternate form of science for popular consumption, a form consisting mainly of decontextualized facts, often used in contrast to other forms of thought (i.e. religion, art, or pseudoscience). However, with the recent advent of "Web 2.0" and the increasing prominence of convergence culture, the role of the public sphere is undergoing a dramatic revolution. Concepts such as "collective intelligence" are changing consumers of information into simultaneous producers, establishing vast peer networks of collaboration and enabling the public to bypass traditional sources of authority. This new hypermobility of information and empowerment of the public sphere are just now beginning to break down science''s monolithic status. In many ways, it seems, we are entering a new Enlightenment.
