Academica Press

Richard Mamelok is a distinguished poet as well as a well known medical/pharmaceutical researcher. This is his first collection of poetry, a collection called “…a continual restoration of language: what a lovely faith. What a fine first collection” by Jennifer Richter. His work has been compared to Robert Hass (itself a great compliment) and is full of questioning, deep longing and the desire for being and for connection. Note: This is the prototype of a small collection of new poets from the universities that Academica Press will be publishing. A formal series may be inaugurated by Fall 2006.

Malcolm X remarked that "education is the passport of the future." This book, developed for aspiring and forward-thinking college students, identifies future careers and future skill sets for the global marketplace and workspaces on the horizon. These future careers include occupations in artificial intelligence, information technology, wearables, virtual reality, genomics, cryptocurrencies, connected homes and others. The skill sets presented include complex problem solving, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, cognitive flexibility, detail orientation, creativity, and others anticipating future competencies. The concepts of factual knowledge, conceptual knowledge, procedural knowledge, and meta-cognitive knowledge are also discussed to foster the undergraduate learning experience in American higher education.
