Jack Hassard, Ph.D. is an Emeritus Professor of Science Education at Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia. He earned his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University in science education and geology after receiving degrees at Bridgewater State University and Boston University and studying at Illinois Institute of Technology. He was professor of science education at GSU from 1969 - 2003. He is an internationally known science educator, researcher and writer. His books include Minds on Science (HarperCollins), The Art of Teaching Science (Oxford & Rutledge), The Whole Cosmos Catalogue of Science (Goodyear), Science as Inquiry (Goodyear), Environmental Science on the Net (Goodyear), and Holt Science (Holt, Rinehart & Winston). Jack Hassard has also spent an adventurous career as a "Citizen Diplomat," traveling extensively through Russia and the world, creating courses, exchanging democratic views on psychology, education, environmental science, and other subjects needed for a peaceful coexistence and to prevent war. He co-created the Global Thinking Project, a hands-across-the-global Internet-based environmental science program linking schools in the United States with those in Russia, Australia, Czech Republic, Spain and other countries. The GTP supported exchanges of researchers, public school teachers and students between Georgia (USA) and Russia during the 1980s and 1990s. He's been blogging since 2005. His blog posts served as the foundation for his first self-published book, The Trump Files (Northington-Hearn Publishing). The Trump Files is a compelling portrait and real-time documentation of the nation's turbulent Trump years. He returns citizens to those troubling days of not-so-very-long-ago to help deal with the future. As the cover of his new book, The Trump Files portends, we are living in a world that has been turned on its head. There are no alternate facts! There are many books out now on the Trump years, but this one comes from a practical and extensive wisdom that should not be missed.
