"Everyone know that Poul Anderson is one of the best: they're wrong — he's better!" — Jerry Pournelle. Invaders from space, meet your match. What the aliens see: a blue-green orb, occupied by bipedal aborigines with early pretechnical civilization, a farm-oriented economy, population scattered in small groupings — a world ripe for the plundering. They choose one moderate population cluster to serve as a bridge head. What the Villagers see: Demons! They may be crude, but if medieval villagers know one thing, it's how to combat demons... Science fiction.

Anne Anderson had what many would consider a privileged upbringing. She was raised in an upper-middle class neighborhood, attended private schools, and frequented the country club with her well-to-do parents. But as privileged as her upbringing was, it was also disadvantageous…When Anne graduated from college, she was ready to begin her career as a teacher. But she was completely unprepared for what she was about to encounter. She accepted a teaching position in a culturally diverse and overcrowded public school, where she was pitted against disobedient children, bizarre parents, inept coworkers, and a cantankerous department chair who constantly criticized her and tried to get her fired.Needless to say, Anne was frustrated by her predicament. Yet, amazingly, she overcame it and went on to teach for thirty-five years, inspiring many other teachers—including her own daughter—along the way.Secrets from the Teachers’ Lounge thoughtfully recounts the challenges Anne confronted in her career, as well as the humorous, sometimes scandalous, situations she witnessed over the years. As entertaining as it is enlightening, it’s sure to appeal to anyone interested in the profession, providing an in-depth behind-the-scenes look at the clandestine world of teaching.

In the 19th century, quack remedies were hawked at street-corner medicine shows to gullible buyers. Today they are sold via electronic media, often by celebrities promoting questionable products and advice. The market for nostrums thrives in an atmosphere of hype and pseudoscience, as 21st century consumers swallow both preposterous claims and cure-all elixirs, shelved alongside genuinely useful items. Who knows what actually works? What's the difference between science-based medicine and everything else? This book examines the misinformation and fear-mongering behind modern-day snake oil.
