Hits to the Dome: The Chronicles of a Small Town Volume 1: Parts 1-6 by Selby Wost (4 Reviews)    Price verified 28 minutes ago

Worcester, New Hampshire, is a cesspool. It used to be a nice town until a wave of wealthy and clueless liberals took charge. Rome, Dakota, Richie, and Donny are four 14-year-old-boys who have to live in this collapsing hellscape, and they hate it. Everywhere they turn, there's a bum shooting up or taking a dump. Stoned hippies walk down the street with an aura of arrogance and self-satisfaction. At school, their commie teachers no longer bother with teaching actual subjects. Instead, all they do is praise themselves for their activism and force their viewpoints on their students. It seems like the four friends can't even walk home without some random demonstration blocking their way. They devise various plots to act out against the lunacy, setting them at odds with both the cops and the new-age Marxist regime. In a world full of parents, police, protesters, and pedophiles, the four friends are desperately trying to get by. The perils are numerous -- diversity festivals, molestation ...

UNLEASH KIDS BRAIN POWER: Proven Methods to Improve and Enhance Brain Power by BUD BROWN Price verified 14 hours ago

The book by Bud Brown is a good antidote to this misinformation. He has put an encyclopedic amount of information into this book. It is my expectation that it will become an invaluable reference guide for problem solving - to help families and educators who study child development.Just as importantly, the book can dispel some of the myths that have been shaped by almost 20 years of misinformation and misinterpretation. For example: Do children get smarter when they listen to music? The authors argue that this concept does not find scientific support. However, they note that music lessons can bring some benefits to children, as it helps them focus. After ten years of research, I whole heartedly agree with their conclusion that the best gift you can to do to your children is self-control, or self-mastery. They note that self-control and other higher brain functions (such as working memory, flexible thinking, and resistance to automatic responses) "contribute to the development of the ...

The Fukushima disaster invites us to look back and probe how nuclear technology has shaped the world we live in, and how we have come to live with it. Since the first nuclear detonation (Trinity test) and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, all in 1945, nuclear technology has profoundly affected world history and geopolitics, as well as our daily life and natural world. It has always been an instrument for national security, a marker of national sovereignty, a site of technological innovation and a promise of energy abundance. It has also introduced permanent pollution and the age of the Anthropocene.

Surrender: How the Clinton Administration Completed the Reagan Revolution by Michael Allen Meeropol (6 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

Michael Meeropol argues that the ballooning of the federal budget deficit was not a serious problem in the 1980s, nor were the successful recent efforts to get it under control the basis for the prosperous economy of the mid-1990s. In this controversial book, the author provides a close look at what actually happened to the American economy during the years of the "Reagan Revolution" and reveals that the huge deficits had no negative effect on the economy. It was the other policies of the Reagan years--high interest rates to fight inflation, supply-side tax cuts, reductions in regulation, increased advantages for investors and the wealthy, the unraveling of the safety net for the poor--that were unsuccessful in generating more rapid growth and other economic improvements. Meeropol provides compelling evidence of the failure of the U.S. economy between 1990 and 1994 to generate rising incomes for most of the population or improvements in productivity. This caused, first, the electoral ...
