Rebellion with Purpose
A Young Adult's Guide to the Improvement 
of Self and Society



"Young adults will enjoy this encouraging guide to self-improvement and the development of moral and ethical values in a changing world. It doesn't preach, but it does invite kids to think about what it means to 'live the good life,' and what elements are involved in creating and maintaining a life vision."

The Children's Bookwatch
Midwest Book Review


The young people who have walked into Richard Sidy's classroom over the years have been typical of America's youth: full of dreams, confusion, potentials, achievements, and obstacles. The reader will perhaps recognize them in the pages of Rebellion with Purpose as one's own family members, acquaintances, neighbors, or oneself. In this troubled age a book like this is an affirmation of life and a reinforcement for the human spirit.

Rebellion with Purpose is a refreshing, challenging, and caring new approach which speaks straight to the heart and mind. It is a practical guide, based on the real experiences of young people, to help the reader gain more control over his or her life, and to increase one's understanding, happiness, success, sense of purpose, and hope for the future.

This is also a must read for parents, teachers, counselors or those who give guidance to young people.

World Diplomacy

The meaning of "community" in the modern world has been redefined by the advances of technology, the globalization of the economy, and the international response to environmental and humanitarian needs. In this context, a new approach to diplomacy as a guiding force is essential.

World Diplomacy explores the creative and uniting force of diplomacy in all types of relationships. This book is a blend of political theory, psychology, idealism, and common sense. It reveals how diplomacy can replace ideology, partisan politics, and nationalism as the political framework in a world which maintains diversity while working for a common purpose.

The emphasis in World Diplomacy is that the choices made by individuals and governments in the next few years will decide how humanity will be able to live on this planet beyond the twentieth century. It presents alternative ideas and approaches upon which to make those choices. This book presents a hopeful and pro-active approach to international relations based on improving the quality of life for future generations.
