The young elephants want to have a race to prove who is fastest, so Elmer and Wilbur organize a course. With each racer decorated a different color, they set off around the course and discover things about themselves—Blue is first, Orange is second, White is kind, Pink and Violet are funny, and Yellow is a cheat. Luckily Yellow also learns he is very good at saying sorry, so each young elephant gets a medal from Elmer.
One of the most evocative eras in the history of American motorsport was the golden age of dirt-track racing, when hairy-knuckled drivers duked it out in open-wheel racers on half-mile ovals around the country. This photographic history spans the classic era from 1946 to 1970, featuring vintage photography of the Champ and Sprint cars that were driven by men like A.J. Foyt, Parnelli Jones, Roger Ward and Bobby Unser for very little monetary reward. The technologies of the most successful and unusual cars are discussed as are specific races, circuits and some of the more colorful personalities of the period. Midget and track roadsters are also featured, along with period color photography.
The ever-shifting cultural and linguistic landscapes in contemporary societies create new urgency for an intersectional thematic study of diversity, philosophy, and education. As educators, how do we transform the vision of cultural and linguistic diversity into a wealth of resources for learning? How do we actively engage cultural and linguistic diversities in philosophical inquiry with young people? How do we translate the philosophical notion of cultural and linguistic diversity into pedagogical practices? The chapters in this book respond to the task of teaching philosophy in the context of increased mobility in the new global reality. By complicating the situated and fluid nature of contemporary classrooms, this book challenges the normalizing tendency often associated with philosophy education. Each chapter offers a unique perspective in understanding the profound embeddedness of philosophy education in broader sociocultural contexts and prioritizes diversity in the classroom community of inquiry. By carefully incorporating a broad range of theoretical perspectives and empirical research, this book provides a rich resource for school teachers and educators who wish to engage diverse learners in philosophical inquiry. In doing so, it reaffirms the value of philosophy education as a proactive approach to democratic education.

When Elmer Stark's dream of becoming the greatest thoroughbred jockey of all time is shattered by the daughter of a rich and powerful rancher, Elmer employs Arnie Adams. a naïve but talented young lawyer to obtain Elmer his due. The flaws of the justice system are exposed while Adams fights the lies and notorious defense attorney, Katherine O'Shaughnessy. Elmer struggles to maintain his faith in Arnie and himself despite the odds against them. The outcome can only be described as stark justice for all the characters. A must read for those who want a glimpse of how the justice system really works! "Stark Justice is a fast paced, quick, and stimulating read by an author who knows the courtroom and understands how to bring interesting characters to life. Judge T.W. "Chip" Small brings together his deep wisdom, knowledge and understanding of real people, his observations and familiarity with the courtroom, and his awareness of the strategies employed by trial lawyers on both sides of a case in this entertaining story set in the small towns of Eastern Washington. The reader gets an actual and enjoyable education, an inside view of how the legal process truly works, and the thought process of plaintiffs and defense attorneys, litigants, and insurance companies throughout the proceedings. This is a book to be savored." -John R. "Jack" Connelly, Connelly Law Offices "Retired Judge Chip Small expertly weaves a compelling tale of hope, devastation and triumph, written by a man who saw it all as an attorney for a prestigious law firm and later as a widely respected magistrate. With a gift for flowing prose, Small's writing is reminiscent of the great Dick Francis, the former steeplechase jockey who authored a series of highly popular racing books across the pond. At the center of Stark Justice is a jockey, Elmer Stark, whose promising career is cut short by a freakish tragedy which results in a conclusive civil trial in which Small spares no details on the machinations of the civil justice system." -Vince Bruun, Emerald Downs Racetrack and Casino, Director of Media Relations
