Just as you may have thought these things about your students, they, too, may have similar thoughts about you: "She doesn't care about my education." "He is not capable of understanding me." "I can't work with her." "I can't get through to him." While all students in your class, building, or school district need your...

During the Cold War, the T-54/55 series of tanks represented the most serious threat to Nato land forces in Europe.

The BE was easy to fly and very stable-but it was difficult to maneuver and very easy to shoot down. Tarrant Tabor-The Tabor was grotesque,...

To bail out of a stricken airplane is a pilot's or aircrew's final chance to escape death. It is a traumatic and hazardous exercise that is only practiced in extremis and is in itself full of danger with no guarantee of survival. Many struggled free of a flaming and spinning aircraft only to see their parachute alight above them, some were machine gunned to death by their opponents as they drifted to earth, some landed in mine-fields and were blown...
