The True Story of Serial Killers Gerald & Charlene Gallego
by R. Barri Flowers
The Sex Slave Murders is an international bestselling true crime book. A marriage made in hell... Barely five feet tall, sweet and innocent looking, Charlene Gallego used all of her charms to beguile pretty teenage girls and young women into the back of a van, where her lethal husband, Gerald, lay waiting.

In this much more frightening than fiction tale of domination, depraved lust, substance abuse, violence, and murder, award winning, bestselling criminologist R.

RomanceMay 2014Love's Own Reward
by Dana Ransom
Her act of courage destroys everything . . . Charlene "Charley" Carter risked her life to rescue a child from a burning car. Suddenly, the quiet research assistant becomes a media darling-and a half-million dollars richer, thanks to the boy's grateful grandparents. But big money brings big moochers and bigger betrayals. Charley retreats, wounded and suspicious about the motives of even those dearest to her. He doesn't trust that she's for real . . . Jess McMasters exposes frauds for a living, and if it means using his charms as well as his tough skills as a journalist, no problem. What's Charlene Carter trying to gain by refusing to be interviewed by the press? Is she angling for more money-or is she hiding secrets that prove she's nobody's hero? Jess goes undercover to get close to her, but the closer he gets, the less he understands. Except this: the cost for his deception could be his own heart.

EducationTeaching Without Indoctrination
Implications for Values Education
by Tan, C.
“This book presents a comprehensive, well-structured and enlightening survey of the problem of indoctrination as manifested in scientific, moral, religious and social fields within the context of an intellectual milieu that prides itself in being liberal and democratic. In the craft of intellectual midwifery which she masters, Professor Tan has but one prescription: constant reflection, but not of the solipsistic or sterile kind. Rather, she advocates fearless questioning within the bounds of a community of learning, which is what schools should ideally be, wherein we all recognise ourselves to be at once students and teachers.” - Professor Alejo José G. Sison, Rafael Escolà Chair of Professional Ethics, University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain Given the currency of the problem of indoctrination in our modern world, there is a need to have a clearer understanding of indoctrination, the problems it engenders in values education, and the ways to avoid indoctrination in teaching. This book explores the concept of indoctrination and argues that indoctrination refers to the paralysis of one’s intellectual capacity, characterised by the inability to justify one’s beliefs and consider alternatives. Indoctrination can occur in any discipline, including religion and science, and even in liberal education where students may be indoctrinated, not in the content, but in the style of belief. To avoid indoctrination in civic, moral and religious education, this book suggests that educators, as part of a community of reflective practitioners, adopt a reflective framework that seeks to develop the rational capacity of students within a primary culture. Charlene Tan is Associate Professor in the Policy and Leadership Studies Academic Group, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

Biography & True StoriesMay 2020Care Under Fire
by Bill Strusinski
For many surviving military veterans, the Vietnam War is an indelible part of their lives. That they survived is due in many cases to the heroic, life-saving actions of combat medics like Bill "Doc" Strusinski. Being a frontline medic was, and still is, one of the most dangerous jobs in the Army. Medics were targeted by the enemy and often called upon to aid fallen soldiers in the line of fire. In Strusinski's riveting book, Care Under Fire, Strusinski thrusts the reader squarely into moments of terror during firefights, the exhaustion of endless patrols, the anguish of losing buddies despite best efforts to save them, and the intimate bonds created during times of desperate need. This is a book about war, yes, but even more about how one man was transformed by his "sacred duty" to offer care under fire to the young soldiers he fought beside.
