Americans have been divided along political lines for so long that they have nearly forgotten how to talk to one another, much less how to listen. This is not likely to improve as long as differences between them continue to be cast in overly simplistic terms, such as "ignorance” vs. "enlightened awareness” or "morality” vs. "reprobate immorality.” Such dichotomies ignore the fact that many citizens who disagree politically nonetheless share a desire to work for the larger good of society. Phil Neisser, a self-described "left-wing atheist,” first met Jacob Hess, a social conservative, at the 2008 proceedings of the National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation. After discovering a shared commitment to cross-party dialogue, they embarked together on a yearlong attempt to practice what they preached. In this book they share the result by exploring the boundaries of core disagreements about morality, power, gender roles, sexuality, race, big government, big business, and big media. Each chapter revolves around an issue explored in depth through back-and-forth, lively question and response. This nuanced, iterative process was transformative for both authors, and could likewise serve as a valuable resource for anyone--liberal or conservative--who feels disillusioned by today’s often shallow, demagogic public discourse.

Thousands have been wounded in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Five have survived quadruple amputee injuries. This is one soldier's story. Thousands of soldiers die every year to defend their country. United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills was sure that he would become another statistic when, during his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, he was caught in an IED blast four days before his twenty-fifth birthday. Against the odds, he lived, but at a severe cost—Travis became one of only five soldiers from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to survive a quadruple amputation. Suddenly forced to reconcile with the fact that he no longer had arms or legs, Travis was faced with a future drastically different from the one he had imagined for himself. He would never again be able to lead his squad, stroke his fingers against his wife’s cheek, or pick up his infant daughter. Travis struggled through the painful and anxious days of rehabilitation so that he could regain the strength to live his life to the fullest. With enormous willpower and endurance, the unconditional love of his family, and a generous amount of faith, Travis shocked everyone with his remarkable recovery. Even without limbs, he still swims, dances with his wife, rides mountain bikes, and drives his daughter to school. Travis inspires thousands every day with his remarkable journey. He doesn’t want to be thought of as wounded. “I'm just a man with scars,” he says, “living life to the fullest and best I know how.”

Scandal could not touch the Kendall family—not with the unsolved Christmas Eve murders looming over their heads. So when eldest son Devin was caught in a compromising situation with his executive assistant, he decided to turn tabloid news in his favor. If Jolie Carson posed as his fiancée, the press would leave him alone and he could conduct his own investigation. Of course Jolie agreed to Devin's proposition—she'd secretly loved her boss for six long years. Being so close to Devin only made her desire grow stronger, though the danger was not just to her heart. Because someone was after the Kendall family, and Jolie's pretend engagement had made her the next target.

Learning math through story is an interesting phenomenon. That too learning higher mathematics as story is similar to adding honey to a fruit bowl. A student never sleeps deliberately in the class. If at all he sleeps, I strongly believe that the teacher is also one of the reasons for that. Some innovative methods to overcome this difficulty are Storytelling, Open Classroom Learning, Students Learning as a group. From the day I joined as a math teacher in engineering college, the only question that is asked by students till date is “What is the use of this math?” Generally a maths graduate teaches math. An engineering graduate teaches engineering. But an unanswered question till date is who is the right person to teach engineering maths in an engineering college. Unable to get the answer for this question, In the classroom while teaching the students, I was like an unwilling mother talking to her child. My inability to answer this question, made me feel soulless in my classroom. Hatred for myself started growing day by day. This question enlightened a spark in me to upgrade myself as an engineering maths teacher. The effect was emergence of math learning through story narration. Corona 19 curfew helped me a lot to have various views and thoughts about this. This curfew was very helpful in implementing this math learning through story narration and was also very successful. Both Students and teachers were at home during this period without any contact in person. First I narrated a story using the terminologies in Vector calculus to the students. Then I divided the students into groups and made them to form stories of their own. This was very successful. I did not see students.The students did not see me either. We were all separated by spaces but united by Voices. Students submitted their stories to me. The feel I had when I read those stories was like the feel a mother had when she sees her son years after birth for first time. I realized that 80 percent of the learning was done. That's the minute I started calculating my teaching profession. Here I am presenting to you the vector calculus story that was written by my students. I thank the almighty for providing this great opportunity and also my family and friends who gave their full support for my work.
