Great teachers are typically unknown beyond the immediate circle of their students, colleagues, and families. That was not the case with Jaime Escalante. Escalante taught calculus with outstanding success at Garfield High, in a tough Hispanic neighborhood of East Los Angeles. Escalante's success was portrayed in the 1988 film Stand and Deliver, for which Edward James Olmos, who played Escalante, received an Oscar nomination. At its height, Escalante's program at Garfield say 85 students pass the Advanced Placement calculus test, more than any but a handful of high schools across the nation. Stand and Deliver ended on a high note, celebrating Escalante's achievements. But few people know what happened thereafter. Escalante's brilliant math program didn't survive his departure in 1991. Within a few years, math scores at Garfield settled back into the realm of low expectations. What happened? It Takes Ganas reviews how Escalante achieved his unprecedented success, which remains unmatched. But it also recounts the largely untold story of entropy and inertia that quickly returned Garfield to the status quo. Most importantly, this book asks, and answers, what it would take to replicate Escalante's success. The answer turns out to be surprisingly straightforward, though not easy. The key is an unwavering desire to do what needs to get done on the part of teachers, administrators, students, parents, and everyone involved. In other words, Ganas.

Das Duell mit dem Ghost geht in die entscheidende Runde. Paula Tennants persönlichster Fall! Wenn die Liebe für das Böse blind macht ... Normalerweise kann Agent Paula Tennant sich sehr gut in mörderische Gehirne hineinversetzen und sich die brutalen Geschehnisse an Tatorten vergegenwärtigen. Es gibt da jedoch diesen toten Winkel in ihrer Wahrnehmung, diesen dunklen Raum, den sie einfach nicht einsehen kann. Und in diesem toten Winkel steht der Mann, den sie seit ihrer Studienzeit bewundert und in den sie sich ernsthaft verlieben könnte. Paula hat keine Ahnung, dass ausgerechnet ihr Mentor und Boss jener Spezies Mensch angehört, die sie so sehr verabscheut. Eigentlich wurde Paula von ihrem Boss Robert Bernstein in den Urlaub geschickt, doch dann werden im stillgelegten Bereich einer Klinik drei bei lebendigem Leib autopsierte Männer entdeckt. Als bei einem der Opfer eine Münze mit den Initialen Alpha und Omega gefunden wird, werden böse Erinnerungen in Paula geweckt. Zunächst führt die Spur in den Londoner Untergrund, wo es für Mensch und Tier um Leben und Tod geht. Doch als die Gerichtsmedizin ein ungewöhnliches Implantat im Gehirn eines der Toten entdeckt, schaltet sich Bernstein mit seinem legendären Gespür für das Böse in die Ermittlungen ein. Der Fall entwickelt sich in eine Richtung, die Paulas Leben aus den Fugen hebt. So finster der Zorn von Alex Thomas: Düster, eiskalt und voller Spannung!
