Alabama native, Perry Varner, founder of Style Experience has worked with designers, models, agencies, professional athletes and celebrities on a myriad of fashion, entertainment, film and television projects in Alabama, Atlanta and New York City for nearly two decades. In 2011, he moved to NYC and rented a small apartment in Manhattan where he spent the next few years absorbing the essence of the culture, socializing with fashion insiders and writing about his observation of the American Fashion Industry. What he discovered was a beautifully complex relationship between people of color and fashion that expands generations. From the well-dressed leaders of the Civil Rights Movement to the soulful inspirations of Soul Train and Ebony Fashion Fair to countless unsung modern Black designers and models, all vied to experience this assimilated version of the American Dream. Varner's first novel, The Perfect Pair, is a fictional narrative that takes the reader on a stylishly insightful historical journey of self-discovery. It captures the spirit of the Eras of Black Style from the 1980's and the following three decades in a real life way. It's about faith, family, friendship, fear, fearlessness, fame, fashion, footwear and leaving your undeniable footprint. As always, Varner's goal is to educate, entertain, empower and inspire.

This is the second book in the dolphin trilogy The Perfect Pair, the factionalised memoir of Europe’s top 1970s dolphin trainer. It reveals the plight of the captive dolphin and gives an insight into the relationship between one particular trainer and his dolphins, whisking the reader on a journey deep into the dolphin psyche. Sometimes heart-breaking, sometimes funny – always compelling. Within these pages dwells a graphic story of the plight of the commercial dolphin. However, there are also heart-warming tales of the trainers and handlers who work with them. The Perfect Pair: The Mirror Cracks is the continuation of The Perfect Pair: The Enchanted Mirror (Matador, 2012) – now a core text for the BA(Hons) English and Creative Writing Course at The University of Salford. It is an immensely personal account of a young boy’s first love – a special love that takes him on a mystical journey deep into the world of the dolphin, effectively casting him into a reality that constantly questions man’s overall appraisal of these very special people of the sea. It tells of a mind connection – a psychic bond so strong that it enables the boy and his dolphins to become Europe’s top performing team… the best of the best. No one reading this book will ever view a dolphin in the same light again.

A teacher's guide to using fiction and nonfiction picture books to teach life sciences.

Hands-on lessons can be fun and compelling, but when it comes to life science, they aren't always possible, practical, effective, or safe. Children can't follow a lion as it stalks a gazelle, visit the exotic kapok tree in a rain forest, or swim alongside the underwater life in a pond. But they can explore a whole world of animals, plants, and ecosystems through the pages of beautifully illustrated, science-themed picture books. Perfect Pairs, which marries fiction and nonfiction picture books focused on life science, helps educators think about and teach life science in a whole new way. Each of the twenty-two lessons in this book is built around a pair of books that introduces a critical life science concept and guides students through an inquiry-based investigative process to explore that idea--from animal/environment interactions to the role of structure in plant and animal survival, from inheritance of traits to variation of species. Each lesson starts with a "Wonder Statement" and comprises three stages. "Engaging Students" features a hands-on activity that captures student interest, uncovers current thinking, and generates vocabulary. The heart of the investigative process, "Exploring with Students," spotlights the paired books as the teacher reads aloud and helps students find and organize information into data tables. "Encouraging Students to Draw Conclusions" shows students how to review and analyze the information they have collected. Bringing high-quality science-themed picture books into the classroom engages a broad range of students, addresses the Performance Expectations outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards, and supports the goals of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. Even if you are science shy, Perfect Pairs can help you become a more confident teacher whose classroom buzzes with curious students eager to explore their natural world.
