Join Sacramento State Professor of Education Francisco Reveles as he presets a lecture and slide presentation about his new book, “A Journey: Hombre a Hombre,” today at noon in the University Union Hinde Auditorium.

The book, whose title in English means “Encounter: Man-to-Man,” is “aimed at targeting adolescent Latino males,” Reveles said. “It?s a book about what makes Latinos not only survive but also succeed.”

The book contains interviews with over 60 figures picked from throughout the nation. Role models such as the late Joe Serna, astronauts, high-ranking police officials and even gang members share their advice in this book.

Much of the lecture will concentrate on the development of the book and how Reveles got it started. The slide portion of the presentation will show the audience the pictures included in the book.

When he isn?t teaching or writing, Reveles spends much of his time traveling to different universities, such as Stanford, to speak about higher education. He hopes his book will reach out to public schools ranging from junior high schools to high schools. “This textbook is about life management,” Reveles said.
