Demo: The Story of a Junkyard Dog
Everybody loves an underdog, but what happens when the underdog looks scary? Find out in this action-packed, green-themed adventure, where looks can be deceiving and heroes have to work hard to get noticed! Demo’s a good dog, but good doesn’t cut it at Junkyard Joe’s junkyard, where only bad attitudes, bad luck and bad smells prevail Joe is fed up with Demo’s friendliness and he’s doubly irritated by the people of Newton, USA, a town of shopaholics whose trash has overtaken his yard. Joe decides to dump Demo out onto the streets of Newton and hatch a diabolical plan to turn the tables on the unsuspecting town. Outside the yard, Demo’s rugged junkyard appearance has everyone convinced he’s a danger to their safety, and their shopping. Not until Joe unleashes his monstrous Newton Solution to Pollution Machine does Demo get the chance to show the kind of dog he truly is. A modern fable that gently pokes fun at our throwaway society, Demo encourages readers to reconsider the things they might otherwise dismiss as disposable, while inspiring them to root for the underdog – no matter what his appearance may be. .

Tornado in a Junkyard: The Relentless Myth of Darwinism
In an easy-to-read text, this book examines growing scientific evidence that is challenging Darwin's theory of evolution: lack of transitional forms in the fossil record, the impossibility of mutations (almost universally destructive) serving as evolutionary building blocks, the bad logic of natural selection theory, the stunning lack of evidence for "ape-men," the mathematic impossibility of life beginning by itself, more. Also explores how Darwinism helped foster Hitler's racial policies and examines how Inherit the Wind grossly misled Americans about the Scopes trial. Addresses the ever-vital question: Are we here by chance or are we created by God? Indexed, over 80 illustrations, hundreds of quotes from scientists..

Junkyard Sports
Not your typical games book!Junkyard Sports in physical terms looks like any other paperback book. But in reality it is a high-octane starter kit, fueling physical activity, creativity, and fun in ways that sports have never been played before.
Teachers and recreation leaders who are looking to get away from the "same-old same-old" in their approach to games and sport will find Junkyard Sports a valuable tool. Part of that value comes from the more than 75 sport-specific demonstration games that Junkyard Sports provides. A demonstration game is a starting point for teachers and students--it provides not only a complete game description but also ideas for spawning new games from the original. These demonstration games pave the way for an exciting, nontraditional approach to a sport, and they also engender creativity, ingenuity, community, leadership skills, and other social skills as teachers and students consider further innovations to the sports.
The beauty of junkyard sports is that they work in any environment, with any group. They are fresh because they are ever-changing as their rules, equipment, and environments are adapted. They are also budget-friendly because they call for found or nontraditional equipment--brooms, rolled-up socks, beach balls, whatever is around and not nailed down. They are also easy to implement--a brand new activity can be under way in five minutes or less.
Part I introduces junkyard sports, defining the concept and exploring some of the purposes and potential benefits that led to its development. It includes sections on playing with groups of various ages and abilities, adapting sports to almost any environment, developing a junk (equipment) collection, and making flexible rules. It also explores how to coach a junkyard sport, including the invention and testing of the game, the sharing of equipment, the judging and revising of rules. Finally, it describes how to involve the entire community, giving you a strategy for implementing leadership and for sharing the fun with your peers and students.
Part II is the "Junkmasters' Guide"--more than 75 demonstration games for six team sports: soccer, football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and volleyball. Use them as starting points on a journey toward creating something that's never been played before!
Junkyard Sports is a unique tool for recreation leaders and teachers to use in developing physical, mental, social, and leadership skills with groups of almost any age or ability. At the same time it helps teachers create an environment in which students are engaged, challenged, and enjoying themselves and each other. Winning isn't the point. Playing together is. And playing sports has never been more fun..
