      The battle for the future has just begun. Bruce and Mike finally made it home. But the battle for the future has just begun. The Louisiana farm that Bruce and his allies had built to survive the end of the world was everything they could have hoped for—but no one had planned for the endless horde of fast, smart and ravenous blue zombies who could think, heal, and even reproduce. Now, as they gather an armory of military weaponry from abandoned outposts all across the countryside, Bruce and his growing clan of survivors realize the truth— their compound can be the beginning of a new and rebuilt world—but only if they can confront the “blues” and make their home safe. Pity the poor blues.

      Playing to Learn with Reacting to the Past

      Research on High Impact, Active Learning Practices

      • 253 pages
      • 9 hours of reading

      This book provides classroom practice and research studies that verify Reacting to the Past (RTTP)—a student-centered, active learning pedagogy that provides college students and faculty unique teaching and learning opportunities—as a high impact practice for student learning and engagement. The overarching objective of this book is to collect practices and evidence from multiple disciplines and institution types regarding the efficacy of RTTP in higher education classroom settings. At its core, RTTP is a game-based pedagogy with published games on some of the most conflicted moments of human history. While RTTP is deeply grounded in theory and literature that suggests its approaches can be impactful, deep and broad examinations of RTTP pedagogies in a range of course settings have not been extensively performed until now. This book provides guidance and an evidence-base on which to build RTTP practices.

      The world is falling apart! Can Nathan help put it back together and save his own family in the process? The country is broken, and only Nathan and his prepper compatriots have a chance to put it back together. The long-predicted Coronal Mass Event transformed the United States into an irradiated Stone Age, populated by both gangs and victims. When the borders are breached and troops from Europe and China begin invading the coasts, while a broken Congress throws out the Constitution and moves to confiscate guns and ration food, Nathan must make it back to his redoubt where his family and other preppers are waiting. Along the way he must keep safe the children he's rescued and Jasmine, the love of his life. Because the world—or what’s left of it—will never be the same.
