Battles, protests, standoffs, strikes. We hear about them all the time. On the surface, a battle and a protest don't seem to have much in common, but they're really just two ways of handling a dispute. One uses violence, the other uses signs and picket lines. But both start as a disagreement between two groups of people. Both are conflicts.Since it's impossible for people to agree on everything all the time, conflicts naturally pop up every day, all over the world. Sometimes they turn into full-blown wars, which can be a lot trickier to understand than the conflicts that pop up in everyday life, but every conflict has some things in common.Using real world examples, Why Do We Fight? teaches kids to recognize the structures, factors, and complex histories that go into creating conflicts, whether personal or global — as well as the similarities between both. They'll be given tools to seek out information, enabling them to make informed opinions while learning to respect that others may form different ones. From culture clashes and trade disputes to disagreements about how to govern, Why Do We Fight? insists that the key to fulfilling humankind's wish for "world peace" lies in how we choose to deal with conflict and provides a genuine cause for optimism in the face of an at-times frightening world.

History isn’t always what it seems… Twelve months after his change, Alec MacAidan is still getting used to his many vampire talents. While most vampires would give anything to have more than one supernatural power, Alec craves nothing more than peace and time alone with Cronin. But when Alec meets entities from outside this realm, he’s left powerless in their presence. Zoan are half-lycan, half-dragon creatures that have slipped through time and reality, seemingly undetected by man and vampire. Or have they? They bear an uncanny resemblance to gargoyles, leaving Alec’s view on all things weird to get a whole lot weirder. This new quest leads Alec, Cronin, and their band of friends to Paris, Rome, and Moscow, where they learn that gargoyles aren’t simply statues on walls. In the underground pits beneath churches all over the world, Alec discovers the Key’s true destiny. Facing the Zoan might take every talent he has. And he may need help from the dead to get them all out alive.

As a history teacher, I enjoyed learning a new aspect of the war through this book. The relationship between the modern day main characters and their mystery was intriguing and interesting enough to keep even a non-history person engaged with the overall story. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable story for all ages!An antique trunk purchased at auction contains secrets that lead Greta and her grandfather on a veritable treasure hunt through history. Will they be able to keep the treasure, or at least keep it out of the hands of those who want to steal it? The answer rests with members of the Culper spy ring, who served George Washington and helped to win the American Revolution.As Greta and Gramps trace the contents of the box in the present, some of the most charismatic characters of the Revolution—George Washington, Nathan Hale, Benedict Arnold, John Andre, and a lady spy simply known as Agent 355—weave the historical account of how a group of volunteer spies from Long Island thwarted the mighty British Empire. The greatest army and navy in the world could not humble the upstart rebels into submission.Combining historical fact and a contemporary mystery, the author has created an entertaining adventure with colorful personalities and not a few surprises. Sometimes history really is stranger than fiction!
