Despite its historical significance and the presence of Baker University, Baldwin City, Kansas has experienced an economic decline in recent years. In addition, rural population loss has long been a concern for communities across the United States. Slowing population growth rates and migration can create severe problems for rural areas and wreak havoc on their economic stability. To mitigate these issues, this book argues for increased tourism and promotion of Baldwin City's history to address the declining trends, which could serve as a significant driver of economic growth. It also aims to identify rural communities' current and future population trends, specifically focusing on Baldwin City, Kansas.
This book delves into the existing education policies in many Latin American countries and compares relevant economic indicators with the aggregate trends of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, El Salvador, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

A remarkable new poetry and prose collection, Dragon Breath is raw, insightful, sometimes fierce, and sometimes tender. Lynn Meador dares to expose a full range of emotion in this look back at a difficult childhood, life in the church, and the growing pains suffered when leaving both behind. Her book exposes the disorientation that often comes with breaking away from what we have always known in an effort to heal. A brave first book. - Melinda B Hipple, author

The moon had come up and, out of the blue, Aaron asked if cows lived on the moon. This began a series of questions that I tried to answer to the best of my ability. It became a game. Each question gave me the opportunity to explain a basic concept related to science.

The eventual fate of the Tungsten Mine rests no longer with the miners but in the hands of a government organization known as the Forest Service, which has had a track record of destruction for old historical cabins. And how Frank died is still open to the imagination of the reader... But...This is the story of the Tungsten Mine, written for the most part in the late 1980''s.
