The art of fairy tales is to see the adventure in your imagination. Cat Tales teaches acceptance on your journey. It grabs a fable and shows the heart of understanding. When a parable is read, each story will give a lesson and a memory to kids one book at a time. As a child, I heard these tales from my parents. They told them to us sitting in our family room. Listening to the words being read, I'd imagined the characters and how I would feel if ever I was the same. I hope you enjoy the adventures as much as I did.

What does your child want to be when they grow up? A doctor? Engineer? A Pilot? Business Owner? Whatever their dreams are, they will need to solve lots of word problems on their journey to a career. The skills that they develop while solving those problems will be valuable in whatever career they choose. This book is a "two for the price of one" educational tool! Your student will develop their reading skills (analysis and comprehension) as well as the math skills needed to solve real-life problems. Many students have the mathematical skills needed to solve equations using basic arithmetic operations. The challenges that this book addresses are the strategies and skills needed to read, understand, and analyze a word problem and to then formulate a mathematical equation that accurately represents the problem. The word problems in this book are based on realistic situations in business, marketing, transportation, and healthcare to make them relevant to the student. This book is designed to be used with guidance from a parent or tutor as the student works from simpler arithmetic problems to more complex problems involving basic algebra and geometry for grades 1-10. There are four important strategies used to analyze and solve word problems: 1. Read carefully and slowly to understand the question. 2. Recognize and underline the key words and important numbers. 3. Recognize and disregard information that is not pertinent to solving the problem. 4. Identify the math operations needed to solve the problem. Section 2 of the book includes a step-by-step solution to each problem that students should use to check their strategies and their results. Section 3 lists the correct answers to each problem for quick reference.

During the 1950s, the great migration from the South led many Black families to the city of Chicago. As African American families took up residency all around the city, the talent in the Chicago Public League's high schools took a huge leap. Many of the schools that were previously predominantly White became Black. Neighborhoods throughout the city changed as well. Many White families moved to suburban areas outside of Chicago.Since that time, basketball has created thousands of scholarship opportunities for Black student athletes, including myself. My version of the Top 100 Players of All Time will not only be similar to many but also different from what other writers would put together. The arguments about who belongs will always be present when the conversation centers on Chicago high school basketball.My story is something I hope will be educational and inspirational to others who take the path I took as an inner-city resident who put in the extra effort in the classroom, on the court, and in the community to find success. I am a student of the human condition, wielding the written craft to enrapture the mind much like an artist wields a brush. The pages are a blank canvas on which to draw from a talent heralded by many but matched only by an imagination that rises to the task and delivers positivity.

In these days, it is hard to remember a time more than a half-century ago when scientists were gods, honored and trusted both to defend and heal us, creating ultimate weapons as well as the polio vaccine. We took our shots because we trusted the experts. We trusted them to test atomic weapons, aboveground at first, because we weren't aware of cancers among the "downwinders" and knew that the US was in a weapons race. This book is the inside story of kiloton to megaton atomic weapons being exploded three hundred miles above the earth in secret programs that most people still don't know about, to see what would happen to communications and radar in an atomic war.Even in the very first atomic test, they were playing with unknown consequences at a time when the "computers" were women running Marchant mechanical calculators. It is also the story of these same scientists, beginning fifty years ago, turning their efforts toward making power from controlled fusion to get us away from dependence on oil and using their unique positions and knowledge to set up arms control agreements.Claude Phipps takes us on a very personal visit with two of the central characters, Dr. Ray Kidder and Nicolas Christofilos of the Livermore Labs, at the beginning of this change of direction. As he says, "It seemed to me that the closer someone's work was to nuclear weapons, the bigger the ego. Along with the big egos, scientific isolation, and tremendous power, which characterized the national defense establishment went tales of recklessness." But so did heroism. His point is that human gods have human foibles. We learn more about this aspect in the third chapter of this book.1
