Outskirts Press Announces a School Psychologist in East L.A., the Latest Highly-anticipated Education Book from South Pasadena, CA Author Richard Selb
Denver, CO and South Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) January 16, 2008 -- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published A School Psychologist in East L.A. by Richard Selby, which is the author's most recent book to date. The 5 x 8 Paperback in the Education category is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble for a suggested retail price of $9.95. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/ASchoolPsychologistinEastLA was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
Dick Selby, a "School Psychologist of the Year," and "Hero of the Week," is an important member of the Garfield High School staff. He develops a popular counseling program and deals with more emergencies than any other school psychologist in Los Angeles. Suicide, sexual abuse, physical abuse, gangs, drugs, it's all part of the East Los Angeles community. Geri Kenyon, State Council of California Teachers' Association: "This is a scathing account of how LAUSD can react when someone, like Dick, is willing to speak up for the needs of inner-city students. The district had no idea about how important Dick's services were at Garfield and they didn't seem to care." Joe Carmona, expert on gangs and gang programs within East L.A.: "Everyone at Garfield loved Dick and he was doing a great job. Then, and for no reason, he was transferred. Police had to be called onto the campus. Students wore T-shirts depicting the principal as a baboon with testicles. Then there were demonstrations. It's unbelievable what happened."
This book is a first-hand account of a school psychologist who was doing a great job, only to find himself in conflict with the power structure. He then is transferred, but is given no clear explanation why this transfer occurred. This book tells it like it is when one works in the inner city and is willing to challenge the bureaucracy.
Deftly constructed at 172 pages, A School Psychologist in East L.A. is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Education category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, A School Psychologist in East L.A. meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $9.95.
Additionally, A School Psychologist in East L.A. can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press wholesale online bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks
ISBN: 9781432717155 Format: 5 x 8 Paperback SRP: $9.95
