ISBN: 0741438216, Paperback - $14.95 BUY The Three Survivors chronicles the fictionalized retelling of one of the most arduous passages in history. After a massive storm in 1832, three men are stranded at sea on their broken ship for over four hundred days and hope for just two things-to survive their ordeal and to find safe passage home to Japan. Left in the middle of the sea with not much else to eat but rice, teenage boys Kenta and Kyu, and their older, spiritually strong helmsman, Iwa, are tossed from one ordeal to the next. As they travel from Japan to Vancouver to "Slave Island" and Macao, the three Japanese sailors battle not only the unpredictable elements, but also their failing spirits, slavery, and their own government officials. Sustained by eating seaweed and shellfish that miraculously adheres to the side of their ship, the three men soon realize that finding their way back home proves to be a more difficult and dangerous journey than any of them ever expected. In this realistic seafaring saga that will engage history fans and adventure buffs alike, three brave sailors will come full circle and face their final fate. |

ISBN: 0867093587, Paperback - $27.50 BUY Students of all ability levels deserve a chance to succeed. Speaking to Think/Thinking to Speak offers a method of instruction that enables teachers to give every student that chance. Since speaking to others, and ourselves, is the primary way we learn throughout our lives, excluding or minimizing talk in the classroom can handicap many learners.

Dr. Bill Carroll
A Grownup's Garden of Virtues: Inspirational Poems by Dr. Bill is a varied yet consistently inspirational collection of poetry by prize-winning author William Carroll. Subjects range from elegiac verse through praises of plants, people and places to discussion of the poetic process itself. Gardening, writing and spirituality are so interrelated for Carroll that the book should appeal to a variety of readers -- even those not especially interested in gardening or poetry.
