The third Spirit Warriors graphic novel from actor/producer Stephen Baldwin continues the extreme story of six radical young kids who enter the spiritual war zone every day for classic battles of good against evil.

It’s a dangerous move that will lead to the greatest spiritual battle yet. ... Read more

Product Description
Lost in the dusty Inca ruins of Peru at age 6, tattooed by head-hunters in the jungles of Borneo at age 12, luxuriated lasciviously and flirted with pro-Castro revolutionaries in a corrupt pre-Castro Havana, wrestled a Bengal tiger, lived beneath the iron curtain's shadow in occupied Trieste, witnessed the astounding mid-hurricane Atlantic rescue of hundreds of passengers and sailors from a burning ship.

An atypical upbringing meant atypical experiences. Stephen Baldwin's ordinary world involved living with very rich and very famous relatives and friends, including Adlai Stevenson, Richard Nixon, and the Washington Post's Phil and Kaye Graham. He explored virtually unknown temples in Angkor and Rangoon, routinely crisscrossed oceans in luxury liners that fully lived up to their promise, ran with the bulls in Pamplona when he was 20, was instrumental in saving thousands clinging to life after a cataclysmic tidal wave and cyclone in Bangladesh, then in setting up an underground railway for Bengali leaders escaping from Pakistani genocide, finally escaping to carry that story to the outside world.

It is true that there are few undiscovered wildernesses today. Transportation and communication advances have blazingly brought everything close to us, but in that process nearly everything has been rendered commonplace. Yet much of the world was neither close nor common a mere 60 years ago, and Stephen had a front row seat to the spectacle-sometimes getting too close to the fire.

Shadows Over Sundials chronicles the astonishing adventures of a Foreign Service brat who later worked in poor countries for The Ford Foundation, Population Council, and United Nations, spearheading international development, then went on to tackle seemingly intractable problems in inner-city education, first as a New York City Teaching Fellow in a failing South Bronx elementary school, finally as Board Chair of a charter school he helped establish there to do it better.

Mr. Baldwin is married to Barbara Radloff, has five children, and lives in New York City and Redding, Connecticut. ... Read more

Wonderful new memoir - worth the read!
Wonderful story of a childhood most of us can only imagine about and the life that forms from the adventures and experiences of the author. Incredibly well written! I love how descriptive the author is in his telling of the places he has been and the people he has met over time! A big plus for any memoir in my opinion is including personal photos and the selection in this book is outstanding!

Fascinating memoir

Product Description

Infuse student success into any program with our “Engaging Activities for…” Series.  Written and compiled by National Student Success Institute (NSSI^®) co-founders Amy Baldwin, Steve Piscitelli, and Robert Sherfield, the material is sure to connect, support, and empower educators in the Two-Year, Technical, and Career Colleges.  These booklets contain strategies, procedural information, and activities that you can use with your students immediately.   

The phrase “sage on the stage” was once a compliment to any professor who lectured to a group of eager, attentive students.  Now the phrase identifies professors who have not embraced the active learning movement.  Active learning, a mainstay in elementary education, has found its way to the college classroom, but not without its detractors and not without some explanation and training for those whose own college days were spent listening and quietly taking notes during class.  Simply put, active learning describes any teaching or learning strategy that requires more of students than listening passively.  With active learning, they may be applying information in new contexts, conducting experiments, devising instruments to collect data, writing the results of their own learning, or teaching a group of students what they know about a subject.  The goal with active learning is to engage the student in learning activities and make him or her responsible for what is retained. 

Amy, Steve, and Robb have developed this practical compilation, Engaging Activities for Active Learning, as an indispensable, hands-on resource for educators to address the topic of active learning.  This booklet will empower teachers, professional development coordinators, coaches, and administrators with tools to actively engage in their classes.  They are confident you will find these activities as useful as they have with their students.

If you like this NSSI^® Booklet on Engaging Activities for Active Learning, you will love the series:  Academic Success, Retention, Understanding the Culture of College, Critical Thinking, and Motivation.

“My students do not know how to think critically.”  This common lament can be heard from teachers on campuses around the nation.  Many students come to college having little experience with higher-level thinking skills.  They are used to repeating or spitting back information.  But when students are asked to apply or evaluate information teachers are often met with blank stares.
