On October 17, 1999 Lissa Roche, the editor of Hillsdale College Press and the daughter-in-law of the conservative school's president, Dr. George Roche III, was found dead in Hillsdale's Slayton Arboretum. Police promptly ruled her death a suicide. But when the authorities suppressed portions of her autopsy, refused to perform a ballistics test on the .357 that ended her life, cross-check key alibis, or find the keys that Lissa supposedly used to access her husband's gun, Lissa's death became an unresolved mystery. Based on exclusive interviews with family, friends and faculty, previously unpublished documents and in-depth research with insiders, this book examines an extraordinary tragedy and lets the reader be the judge.

"Saving Our Schools exposes the ugly side of President George Bush's "No Child Left Behind" mandate, which has threatened to close more than 6,000 public schools, to the detriment of dedicated teachers and disadvantaged children alike. Revealing how NCLB forces schools with strictly limited resources to teach its children test-taking skills in a desperate bid to pass high-stakes standardized testing, and how the government blacklists successful professors, institutions, and methods that balk the NCLB party line, and much more, Saving Our Schools warns of an immediate threat to the integrity of public education and urges the reader to take action. An eye-opening social commentary, of keen importance in determining the nation's future. -Midwest Book Review

The book that inspired the acclaimed feature film Pilot Error, Angle of Attack is based on eight years of research into the 2009 loss of Air France 447 on a night flight from Rio to Paris. Based on more than 300 interviews, this book tells how an Airbus 330 went from cruise altitude to the bottom of the South Atlantic in 264 seconds. Lessons learned from this event have dramatically continue to reshape commercial aviation and have renewed emphasis on hands on pilot training in our automation age. A book for pilots and passengers alike, this up to the minute look at aviation safety shows how lessons learned in aviation can benefit many other industries. The book also tells the story of the French aviators central to this timely aviation drama.
