* Putting together Post #106 made me realize that users of the website may not have opened the Publications page to see what I have done in the past; so here is a review of my past publications.

…Book #1…

REMAKING AMERICA IS UP TO YOU!

The Future Is Outside The Box

…Taken from the back cover of the book…

” Today’s America is a crippled republic that has fallen victim to political parties, a lack of common sense and insanity; doing the same thing over and over expecting to create improvements. Lopac declares that before designing the future, we  must learn from the past and understand the present. Remaking America is a critical look at America today with thoughtful ideas and plans to shape it into something better. Lopac tackles issues including the Electoral College, the federal debt, the election process, universal free education and health care, and alternate sources of funding, and above all, a new paradigm for common sense as a guide.

About the Author

George Lopac, Jr. was born in Brooklyn New York, in 1939 and was raised there. Lopac, who has a bachelor’s degree from the New York City College of Engineering and a master’s degree from the University of Connecticut (both in mechanical engineering) has thirty-eight years of engineering experience and taught engineering for fourteen years. He contributed to the development and implementation of a rigorous and comprehensive STEM curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) at a New Jersey High School; The Middlesex County Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Technologies.”

THE FUTURE FOR STEM IS GRIM

Why that is true…How to fix it!

…Taken from the back cover of the book…

” This book is a look into America’s future. Analyzing America’s abuse of the educational process and its indifferent attitude toward monitoring technology development, author George Lopac, Jr. hereby addresses a subject which, to America’s great detriment, is otherwise largely ignored. Our nation’s waning ability to develop STEM skill sets is hampering our ability to compete in a global market driven by super technology. Paradigm shifts are therefore critical to America’s future. This book offers two new paradigms that will keep America’s development of STEM skill sets in sync with the development of global super technology skill sets.

About the Author
