NEBADOR Book Two: Journey: Deep Learning Notes
NEBADOR Book Two: Journey
Rachael Hedges, Amanda Herman, Mireille Xioulan Powers, J. Z. Colby, J. Z. Colby
NEBADOR - the incredible journey of five young adults from poverty and oppression to respected citizenship in the wide universe ... Nebador is much more than just an entertaining story. The particular Muse who inspired the author was obviously concerned about young adults in the early twenty-first century who are about to inherit a very different world than their parents knew. The Nebador stories contain many wit-sharpening and skill-honing lessons and situations, and the author has provided these questions and comments for any reader who wants to learn as much as possible from the same Muse. Some may be useful to all readers, and others are best tackled by advanced students familiar with psychology, sociology, and politics. All of the illustrations from the story editions are included for easy reference. This is the PAPERBACK DEEP LEARNING NOTES (companion to the story editions) in 12-point type.
