Teaching College
Summary
Your students aren't reading. They aren't engaged in class. Getting them to talk is like pulling teeth. Whatever the situation, your reality is not meeting your expectations. Change is needed. But who's got the time? Or maybe you're just starting out, and you want to get it right the first time. If so, Teaching College: The Ultimate Guide to Lecturing, Presenting, and Engaging Students is the blueprint. Written for the early career college professor, this easy-to-implement college instruction guide teaches you to: Think like advertisers to understand your target audience - your students Adopt the active learning approach of the best K-12 teachers Write a syllabus that gets noticed and read Develop lessons that stimulate deep engagement Create slide presentations that students can digest Take charge of your college classroom management Get students to do the readings, participate more, and care about your course Secrets like "focusing on students, not content" and building a "customer" profile of the class will change the way you teach. The author, Dr. Norman Eng, argues that much of these approaches and techniques have been effectively used in marketing and K-12 education, two industries that could greatly improve how college instructors teach. Find out how to hack the world of higher education instruction and have your course become the standard by which all other courses will be measured against.

Relapse
Summary
As featured on Deadliest Catch A fourth-generation fisherman, Jake Anderson, grew up in the rich fishing environment of Anacortes, Washington. At age 17, Jake began salmon fishing in Bristol Bay, Alaska, and by the age of 25 he was crab fishing in the heart of the Bering Sea. Soon after, Jake became a deckhand on the F/V Northwestern and joined the popular television series Deadliest Catch. As an integral part of the show, Jake is known for his hardworking nature that has allowed him to evolve from greenhorn to licensed captain. Aside from fishing, Jake has a harrowing story that has yet to be told. As an avid skateboarder, Jake aspired to become a professional until he was sidelined by injury, addiction, and homelessness. After relentlessly battling back, he was then confronted with the untimely losses of his sister, father, and mentor, Phil Harris. But with depth and maturity, Jake persevered. In his debut book, Relapse, Jake serves as an inspiration as he candidly shares his private journey to overcome tragedy.

Final Empire
Summary
The Arena Mode Saga has over 500 five-star reviews across Amazon and Goodreads and is Kickstarter's number one selling science-fiction series of all time.
Around the globe, superhumans are fighting to the death. One-on-one battles are routinely breaking out in every major city from Toronto to Tokyo and Stockholm to San Francisco. No one knows when or where these battles are going to occur, but the result is always the same: The loser dies, while the winner is escorted away by an unmanned aircraft, eluding authorities.
Unlike the sanctioned Arena Mode events that have occurred in the past, these melees are wreaking havoc in populated downtown areas - demolishing buildings and leaving civilian casualties in their wake.
As the death toll rises, and governments scramble to secure their cities, Matthew Moxon - now trying to live out his remaining years in relative seclusion - is unwillingly dragged back into the spotlight by the mysterious game master who is using the entire planet as his battlefield.
Meanwhile, the death of Sergei Taktarov and the collapse of his Red Army have left a vacuum. Millions of followers, fascinated with the notion of demi-gods roaming the Earth, are desperately seeking a new spiritual leader, and a dangerous force is more than willing to take up the mantle.
As the Arena Mode Saga thunders to a conclusion, battle lines will be drawn. Friendships will be torn apart. And as Mox, Peyton, Brynja, and their allies face the most destructive superhuman the world has ever seen, sacrifices will have to be made - and not everyone will survive.
Discover the series that has been nominated for the prestigious BSFA Award (Arena Mode, Best Novel of 2013), has been ranked number one on Amazon in the US and the UK (Arena Mode, Superhero, and Dystopian categories, May 2015), and is currently part of the high-school curriculum in the state of Florida.
