YES! Our Language is strong.
The culture in Eilgayaq has a foundation with a Yugtun language. Majority of the population are fluent speakers in Yugtun. A school should be established with Yugtun langauge in the location where the language is strongly spoken. The elders of Eilgayaq have a unique ability to keep the language strong. Dr. Jerry Lipka deserves to have his name titled for the schools in Eilgayaq. Eilgayaq is in the Southwest region of Alaska.

An important work in school and curriculum reform
Lipka, Mohatt, and The Ciulistet Group's book is an important contribution for educators interested in educational equity, access, and school/curriculum reform. The authors underscore cultural issues in education that are authentic, multifaceted, and critical. These are the very issues that must be considered if we are to meet the educational needs of all children. The heart of the book squarely challenges simplistic answers to complex educational "problems" by providing a a refreshing format to voices we rarely hear.

Getting Booked on Radio and TV
There are 700 U.S. and Canadian radio talk shows that will interview you by phone. With telephone interviews, you do not have to leave home. The scheduling can be tighter-very efficient. Radio stations like telephone interviews because they make even very-busy celebrity authors available at very low cost. Then, its on to the book tour.

There are many ways to get booked on radio and TV and Brian Jud describes your choices. He tells you who to contact, what to say and how to set up your tour. He provides a checklist to make sure you are covering all the bases and are covering them in the right order. He also supplies a media contact list and index.

Brian Jud is an author, publisher and charismatic book promoter. He knows how to get booked and generously shares his wisdom in these pages.

As the author of 113 books (including revisions and foreign-language editions) and over 500 magazine articles, I highly recommend this volume to authors and publishers. DanPoynter@ParaPublishing.com.

Just what I needed!
This book is perfect for my freshman course in composition and communication. My 24 students all take a parallel course, Introduction to Theology, with a single instructor who is using textbooks by Paul Tillich, Hans Kueng, and Viktor Frankl. Our team must show the interrelationship of one field of learning with another and make cross-disciplinary thinking a pleasurable experience. READING OUR HISTORIES takes the student from analysis of a portion of her own life to analysis of personally relevant issues throughout history and across cultures. One of the strongest points of this book is the stimulating collection of six to twelve stories and essays provided for each analysis of nine different topics. Topics such as fashion, family portraits, beauties and beasts, Elvis: Man or Myth, and The City: Dreams or Nightmares provide plenty of variety to hold the students' interests while they are practicing actual cultural and historical analysis. Assignment sequences are detailed enough to save the instructor the trouble of inventing his own, yet leave room for expression of a wide range of individual perspectives. Students who need to practice writing research papers can use a combination of the readings in the book and the audiovisual and written texts suggested for further research at the end of each chapter. They can focus on the message they want to communicate and practice citing sources that are easy for them to find.

Convoluted and contrived.
Which is fair enough. I mean, to get these three classic movie bad guys together, you need to bend a few rules. A damn good idea, but in this case, extremely poorly executed. They should have just left it alone. One star for the monsters, one star for the cover.

huh?
Well I can't deny it...i absolutely love the Alien, Predator and Terminator. So when I heard of the crossover that pit all 3 against each other, I was thrilled...until I bought it and read it, that is.

This is probably the most convoluted and bizarre story yet in the Aliens vs. Predator universe. It hardly consists of any of the 3 fighting each other at all...at least not to the extent of which the cover and blurb on the back would have one assume. The story tells of John Connor and the resistance defeating Skynet, only to have Skynet reawakened years later by Terminators that have gone into deep cover, posing as scientists. To assure victory, samples of Alien DNA have been used to construct a new generation of Terminator, which the Predators see as a great threat of war.

If it sounds ridiculous...it is. The story is bizarre and goes in all different directions. And worse yet...it spins off of Alien: Resurrection. That alone makes me not like this comic, aside from the bizarre story and sub-par artwork. The story even has Ripley 'become' a Predator. So...she's human, she's Alien, and now she's Predator. The book just gets worse and worse as you go on.

I suppose if you are a fan of any or all of the characters, like I am, it should pique your interest. But the sloppy and senseless story combined with the elements that made Resurrection such a bad movie, not to mention the lack of attention paid to detail both in artwork and in story, just make this comic unreadable. This is a crossover that had so much potential, and it could have been in so many different, better ways...but it turned out to be nothing more than an attempt to throw 3 popular franchises into one book as a cash-graber. Buy this if you are a collector and want it for your collection, but don't bother reading it. Otherwise just stay away from it completely.

it was ok
AvPvT is a very interesting plot, but the it gets one star off because the Aliens are only featured in three pages at the most, and they weren't drawn as well as the predators or terminators. How do each of the three races fit in the story? The Terminators are using Alien anatomy to perfect their combat effeciency, and the Predators have come in to stop that. The story follows Ripley, after Alien Resurrection. She is forced to follow Call and her friends to infiltrate a military compound to stop the Alien research that is going on there. The mission goes wrong when they encounter a Terminator/Alien hybrid and a band of predators that kill most of the team and cause havoc, and you figure it all out from there. The story was rushed for a book of this length, and a lot of events happen waaay too quickly, and some events take too long. For instance, one part where the team witnesses a terminator/alien hybrid fight a predator takes 12 pages, while an event where two terminator/alien hybrids single handedly attack and destroy 2 military bases, and wipe out an entire fleet of ships takes 10 pages!!!! AvPvT gets a point off for that. However, it gets 3 points for art and creativity. The art is about as close as you'll get to an anime styled AvP comic, it was all well drawn with a lot of effort and very original. The idea of how the story continues off Alien Resurrection is very original, the way the plot uses the three sides is original as well, though the aliens deserved more credit. Its a unique book. If you want an AvP book with unique art and story, this is it. But if you want something with more bite, with more of a realistic yet cinematic feel, consider getting Stronghold.
