Propane: (a dog)

The author published his first book in 1979, In Search of Paradise, now in the fourth edition. After retiring from teaching, he decided that he wanted to continue helping young people read more and understand better what they were reading. He realized that interest and the feeling of association gave more support to reading better than anything else. During his many years of teaching, he found that the student who read well made the best grades and profited the most from the educational system. His goal is to offer easy reading material which is interesting and challenging and makes the use of the reader’s own imagination and problem solving skills. Dr Robert E McGinnis was raised on land that was once settled by a large Indian population and grew up on property that was once an Indian settlement which was laden with thousands of visible artifact, many of which were just at the surface and required no searching at all. He developed a closeness with those who once lived there and has felt that association ever since.
