What inspires you? For millenia, humans have found inspiration in the night sky, the moon, and the ever-spinning stars of the cosmos. In July, 1969, all of the dreams of our history culminated in Saturn V launch that carried the Apollo 11 astronauts into space. A model of the massive Saturn V rocket now stands tall just outside the city of Huntsville, Alabama. To this day, it reminds us where inspiration can take us if we let it. In honor of the Apollo program and the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, the stories in this anthology imagine the ways in which the Saturn V connects us to our past and points the way to future achievements. A great collection for reading aloud with your family. Let this anthology inspire you and give a powerful rocket-boost to your dreams!

Figuring out how to teach a Shakespeare play can be an overwhelming event whether you have three students or thirty students. Catherine went from being a Shakespeare novice to being an established Shakespeare teacher by diving right in. Right away one of her frustrations was trying to determine which character had the most lines in each play. After counting the lines in each play, she has put together this wonderful resource. It gives you a synopsis for each play, videos to watch or to watch out for, and character-line charts to help you assign the parts when you read a play out loud. If you are only going to have one "teaching Shakespeare" resource, this is the one you need.

This large print edition makes learning economics even easier! It can be used as a stand-alone textbook, but there is also a Teacher Key available if you want answers to the Review Questions (and more). This book was originally written as an alternative to high school economic textbooks (particularly for homeschoolers), though it has also been enjoyed by adults looking for a refresher course. Warning, it is clearly written by a fiscal conservative! Economics is the study of the choices we make with scare resources. My favorite economics book is Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell. In his book, Sowell asks the very important question, "Do we live in an 'Era of Scarcity' or an 'Era of Abundance'?" While here in the United States we live in an area that has more abundance than most of the rest of the world, and an era that has more abundance than any before us, we still live with "scarcities". There is not enough of anything to please everyone. Choices must always be made as to how to use the resources available. If we all live with scarcity, then does that equal shortage? No, shortages are caused when the free market is tampered with, generally by the government. This economics textbook will help you and your students gain a better understanding of this and other "Austrian" ideas!

A Brief Introduction to the Lewis & Clark Expedition

Catherine has been studying and teaching the Constitution for almost ten years. She understands the frustrations of trying to teach it but not knowing where to start. Out of her own studies came a deeper understanding of the importance, then and now, of this critical document. That led to a deep desire to share the Constitution with her own students and to help others do the same. Here she brings it to life in its historic context, along with many of the other documents that paved the way for the foundation of our government.

Now, in larger, easier to read print. The Lewis and Clark Expedition was filled with adventures and danger. Most of us know something of its travelers, almost all being familiar with Captain Meriwether Lewis, Captain William Clark, and Sacajawea. But one important member of the Expedition if often overlooked, Clark's slave York. This short story tells the tale of the Corps of Discovery from York's perspective. We join York as he shares the stories of his adventures with his grandchildren, in his cabin in Kentucky. While the setting is fictional, as well as the family he may or may not have ever had, the adventures he shares with them are based in history.
