Kevin Miller Knihy
Kapitán Kevin Miller čerpá zo svojich dvadsiatich štyroch rokov skúseností v americkom námorníctve ako taktický vojenský letec, aby vytvoril pohlcujúce vojnové príbehy. Jeho rozsiahle operačné skúsenosti s lietadlami A-7E Corsair II a FA-18 Hornet, vrátane tisícok pristátí na lietadlových lodiach, mu poskytujú jedinečnú perspektívu pre jeho realistické zobrazenie leteckých bojov. Millerove romány, ponorené do prostredia vojenského letectva, skúmajú témy tímovej práce, obetavosti a ostrej reality vojny. Čitatelia ocenia jeho autentický hlas a hlboké porozumenie svetu, ktorý tak živo opisuje.

"The American aircraft carrier Coral Sea is on routine training in the Caribbean when, in a scenario ripped from the headlines, it is thrust into a deadly conflict no one expected. Fly a carrier-based FA-18 Hornet with the hero of RAVEN ONE, Commander Jim "Flip" Wilson, along with his wingmen Olive and Weed, as Captain Kevin Miller takes the reader behind the scenes in an authentic story that is loaded with supersonic action in Caribbean skies and human drama in the Pentagon, in the carrier staterooms, and in the covert safe-houses of high-tech illegal combatant enemies. More than a genre techno-thriller, DECLARED HOSTILE also explores the morality of conflict and the philosophy of warfare with those at the tip of the spear who actually fight."--Amazon.com

NEWS The traditional factory model of school is holding back our students and our society, despite our educators' best efforts. What if we could eliminate student achievement gaps? What if we could substantially improve learning and skills development for every child? Know Power, Know Responsibility provides a path for any community of caring citizens to offer its children the ultimate gift--the power to unleash their full potential. This book shows what a completely different school model could look like, explains how a new model could be implemented, and provides the process for actually doing so. By fundamentally changing our approach to public education--by focusing on learning rather than teaching and by putting power into the hands of our children--those children will take on primary responsibility for their learning, growth, and development. This is not only possible but essential, and will have incredible benefits throughout our communities.
