    The Mezonic Agenda deals with some of the most pressing topics in technology and computer security today including: reverse engineering, cryptography, buffer overflows, and steganography. The book tells the tale of criminal hackers attempting to compromise the results of a presidential election for their own gain. The accompanying CD contains real, working versions of all the applications described in the fictional narrative of the book. Computer users, programmers, IT professionals, and policy makers need to be made aware of the risks involved with deploying new technologies and see how attackers can leverage these technologies for their own purposes. While the story in The Mezonic Agenda is fictional, the technologies, exploits, and hacking techniques are all very real.

      A chameleon is not happy with his life. He doesn't like changing colors or eating flies. He goes to zoo and wishes he was all sorts of different animals such as an elephant, flamingo, deer, turtle, and many more other animals at the zoo! After wishing to change into so many different animals he became all mixed up and he couldn't eat when he was hungry. He transformed back into his original self and realized being himself is best of all. This can teach students that each child is unique in his/her very own way and can teach students that they should appreciate that they are different.
