Birth of a White Nation is a fascinating book on race in America that begins with an exploration of the moment in time when white people, as a separate and distinct group of humanity, were invented through legislation and the enactment of laws. The book provides a thorough examination of the underlying reasons as well as the ways in which white people were created. It also explains how the creation of this distinction divided laborers and ultimately served the interests of the elite. The book goes on to examine how foundational law and policy in the U.S. were used to institutionalize the practice of white people holding positions of power. Finally, the book demonstrates how the social construction and legal enactment of white people has ultimately compromised the humanity of those so labeled. Jacqueline Battalora was born in Edinburg, Scotland and lived in Antwerp, Belgium for six years before her family relocated to Victoria, Texas. It was this experience of attending high school and middle school in Victoria that informed her understanding of race in America. While she is currently a lawyer and professor of sociology and criminal justice at Saint Xavier University, she is also a former Chicago Police officer. She holds a Ph.D. from Northwestern University and has been engaged in anti-racist training since the mid 1990s. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/JacquelineBattalora

Former NFL player Jason Brown is a recruiter and college football coach. Coach Brown became widely known as the no-nonsense coach on Seasons 3 and 4 of Netflix's smash hit Last Chance U. He currently resides in San Diego, CA with his best friend, Stogie.
Coach Brown is 1 of 1. A total original. Watching him on Last Chance U was the most interesting thing on TV since The Sopranos. He's the Tony Soprano of football. -- Michael Rapaport, Actor/Comedian
JB was the first QB I coached at Compton College. Jason's father came to me to make sure I would look after him and I took that task on head first and with honor. Jason not only became my first All-American QB, he went on and did everything he said he would. This book epitomizes who he is: straightforward, driven, emotional, and 100% invested in the WIN. -- Coach Cornell Ward, Former Head Coach, Compton Community College
I did not have a single college scholarship offer coming out of high school. Jason Brown saw potential in me when no one else did. He helped teach and mold me into a future NFL QB. -- Brad Sorensen, Quarterback, San Diego Chargers, Tennessee Titans, Minnesota Vikings
Jason and I have known each other for twenty years. I coached against Jason while he was a player and together on the same staff. The general public does not know how caring and committed he is to the well-being of his players. Many outside of his circle fail to ascertain this quality in him but once you get to know JB, you will appreciate Jason Brown. -- Marguet Miller, Head Football Coach, West Los Angeles College
You won't be able to stop reading once you pick up Dr. John Hall's terrifying account, A New Breed: Satellite Terrorism in America. Dr. Hall's narration is based on true-life events and what you'll find will open your eyes to a completely new form of terrorism. Dr. Hall has treated numerous patients who have complained about voices in their heads, eventually being driven to a form of serious psychosis. In his book, he describes his relationship with his significant other, Mallory, a young, attractive woman with a bright future. Upon beginning a new profession, Mallory was suddenly struck down by unexplainable happenings: mind control, surveillance, stalking, and rape. Hall and others sacrificed themselves and their careers to bring her nightmare to an end. What happened to Mallory and what is happening to countless others? Hall's supposition is that we are faced with a type of terrorism that is unseen but just as deadly. Our government satellite surveillance systems are a new way for criminals to gain possession not only of our financial lives, but our most precious resource: Our minds. What can we do and who are these individuals who are trying to control the way the think, feel, act and what we do?

I Know Something You Don't Know
Former teacher Karen Scheuer wrote her fun interactive book with a guessing game in mind, designed especially for preschool and elementary-aged school children.
When shown only part of an illustration, kids will delight in guessing the object pictured on the page. The author/illustrator provides a glimpse of an object or animal, with the text leading readers to believe it's something that it's not. Each page then ends with the phrase, But I know something you don't know...
When the page is turned, the entire item or animal is revealed, and children will see if their prediction was correct.
The book was originally penned when the author attended a future teachers class while in high school, when she was 17. It was written with markers, illustrated with crayons, and put together with contact paper and wallpaper.
