Alice and the Looking-Glass Quest lands as academic e-book

Michael Prasad and Emma Y. have released Alice and the Looking-Glass Quest as an academic e-book on LiveCarta.com, expanding the children’s title beyond Amazon formats. The book uses Lewis Carroll’s story to teach emergency management concepts for instructors, families and public education.

Why it matters: - The e-book turns a classic children’s story into a teaching tool for emergency management, a field that depends on preparedness, coordination and resilience. - The format gives academic instructors a new way to use literature to explain hazards, response and recovery. - The release broadens the book’s reach beyond retail sales into blended learning and classroom use.

What happened: - York Drive Publishing said Alice and the Looking-Glass Quest is now available as an e-book for academic instructors on LiveCarta.com. - The book is the second children’s title from emergency management author Michael Prasad and co-author Emma Y. - The title is already available in paperback, hardcover and Kindle on Amazon. - The release date was Nov. 11, 2026.

The details: - The book retells Lewis Carroll’s public-domain story as an introduction to emergency management principles. - The themes include collaboration, planning, hazard awareness, crisis communications, situational awareness, prevention, coordination, response, recovery, mitigation, cooperation and continuous improvement. - The academic e-book has three parts. - The first section provides an emergency management analysis linking characters and scenes from the adaptation and Carroll’s original work to community preparedness and resilience. - The second section uses child-friendly language and newly generated Victorian-style pen-and-ink illustrations to help families explore how Alice confronts threats and reduces the harmful effects of hazards. - The third section reproduces Through the Looking-Glass and what Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll, which is in the public domain. - The public-domain text lets readers compare and contrast the new story with the original. - The book is intended for comparative literature review, analogous education on emergency management principles and public education on the breadth of the field.

Between the lines: - The project reflects a broader effort to frame emergency management as a daily-life skill, not just a response function. - The book’s structure mixes academic analysis and child-friendly storytelling, which could make it useful in both higher education and family settings. - The release also fits York Drive Publishing’s focus on what it calls emergency management “pracademics,” meaning practitioners who are also academics.

What’s next: - The e-book can now be adopted by academic instructors using LiveCarta’s courseware and digital-learning tools. - The title may also serve as a bridge between classroom instruction and public-facing emergency preparedness education. - More information is available through the author’s social links included with the release.

The bottom line: - Alice and the Looking-Glass Quest is being positioned as both a children’s book and an emergency management learning resource.
