Stand Up! Speak Out!: The Social Action Curriculum for Building 21st-Century Skills is a guide to developing social consciousness in students by blending literary thematic explorations, historical investigations, and 21st-century research and evaluation skills. Each practical unit is arranged in progression from an in-depth study of a literary theme, to a historical examination and analysis of that theme, and finally, to an enriching real-world application that builds off students' research. Each unit includes a culminating project meant to develop students' social awareness and encourage social action. The process fosters students who are independent in their thinking, active in their search for knowledge, and productive in their creation of new solutions to real-world problems. This collection of units will give students a voice in their developing social awareness through analyzing our past and culture and daring to dream of a better future.

La seconda storia raccolta in questa collana Millennium di Steve Englehart e Joe Staton. Il lettore ha la possibilità di ampliare la sua conoscenza dell'Universo DC grazie al ruolo giocato nella saga dai Manhunter. Questa razza creata dai Guardia dell'Universo arriva sulla Terra con un solo pensiero in mente, il loro grido di guerra millenario: 'Nessun sfugge ai Manhunter'. Il loro arrivo provoca un certa turbolenza tra gli eroi, che degenera in una situazione caotica nella quale l'universo stesso diventa il terreno di battaglia di questi dei tra i mortali.

In a small town along the Mississippi River, separate but nearly identical attacks have left two married couples brutally murdered in their homes. A young boy—the lone survivor of the killings—now lies comatose in the hospital. And the police’s only lead is the boy’s terrified description of the assailant: a “monster.”

Enter former homicide detective Liam Dempsey, whose estranged brother fell victim to the killer. Dragged into the investigation as a suspect, Dempsey vows to solve the case and clear his name. But two things stand between him and the truth: a web of local politics, and the grim secrets the victims held close. All the while, a murderer with boundless hatred continues to raise the body count.

As the troubled ex-cop tries to pull justice from the town’s emotional wreckage, he realizes that his could be the next life lost to the killer’s ruthless, twisted plan for revenge.
