"Sixty in-depth interviews show the devastating impact of war. Ed Linz, a retired Navy Commander, discusses the background of how the United States became involved in the Vietnam War. The tragedy which followed over the next two decades is captured in memories gathered from U.S. Naval Academy graduates of the Class of 1965 who served in Vietnam on the ground, in the air, on the rivers, and at sea form 1965 to 1975. The stories provide graphic description of the horror of war, the randomness of death, the absurdities of meaningless targets being selected from 6000 miles away, the brotherhood forged in battle, and the grief of losing family and friends. Horrific losses were not limited to U.S. Forces. While over 58,000 Americans died and 304,000 others were injured, it is estimated that three million Vietnamese, including civilians, were casualties. Neighboring countries were not spared. Laos lost 40,000 and Cambodian losses were even worse. It was indeed, as Linz explains, a filthy way to die"--

In Team Teaching Science, Ed Linz, Mary Jane Heater, and Lori A. Howard demonstrate the truth in the old adage " Two heads are better than one." This guide for developing successful team-teaching partnerships that maximize student learning will help preservice and inservice special education and science teachers in grades K- 12, as well as methods professors in science education programs who want to cover special needs issues in their curriculum. Using both research-based practices and personal insight from experienced team teachers, the authors strive to make team teaching beneficial for students and accessible for teachers. Linz, Heater, and Howard provide background information on science teaching and team teaching and, most important, six chapters on how to teach specific science topics and how a co-teaching team can proceed through the school year. The basic elements of collaboration are introduced, along with chapters on co-teaching strategies to implement in elementary, middle, and high school classrooms. The authors, who have years of co-teaching experience, offer practical advice that teachers can apply to their own classrooms. Teaching a diverse group of students is one challenge teachers will likely encounter in a team-teaching environment; the authors address the difficulties that may arise, as well as issues related to assessment, curriculum, and necessary accommodations and modifications. For those tackling the challenges of team teaching, this book will prove to be a valuable resource for making team teaching a positive experience for both students and teachers.
