Second Edition! Probably the best book you'll read in 2019 with its brilliant twist! Relive the life of Adam Daniels, born bi-racial in the Jim Crow South in 1940. Raised by his Negro grandparents and other extended family members. A year earlier, his mother knew how wrong it was to breach the "Whites Only" sign in front of her but crossed that line anyway, thinking about all the rich white girls who desired what she had without even trying. And then there was Adam, who at birth, looked like he didn't have a "colored" bone in his body and shunned by both sides. White folks thought his mother was his wet nurse, and her new beau gave her a choice. Growing up colored, he gradually learned of the family legacy of fighting hatred and tragedy. His grandparents walked a very thin tightrope during those times. They faced unashamed racism and gave up in the search for faith since having it couldn't save them from despair. He knew what love was from the examples he witnessed at home, where he learned the rewards of success. Adam saw both as a child and while becoming a man, when he learned that passion could come without love, but it was better the other way around. Family and friends surround Adam in manhood and refuse to allow him to forget the strength he inherited as a Daniels. His survival and happiness, however, ultimately falls upon him.

Against the gritty backdrop of St. Petersburg, the narrative explores themes of morality, redemption, and the inherent conflict between societal norms and individual conscience.

Surrender: How the Clinton Administration Completed the Reagan Revolution by Michael Allen Meeropol (6 Reviews)    Price verified 5 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 repudiation of President Bush in 1992, followed by a repudiation of President Clinton in the 1994 Congressional elections. The Clinton administration made a half-hearted attempt to reverse the Reagan Revolution in economic policy, but ultimately surrendered to the Republican Congressional majority in 1996 when Clinton promised to balance the budget by 2000 and signed the welfare reform bill. The rapid growth of the economy in 1997 caused surprisingly high government revenues, a dramatic fall in the federal budget deficit, and a brief euphoria evident in an almost uncontrollable stock market boom. Finally, Meeropol argues powerfully that the next recession, certain to come before the end of 1999, will turn the predicted path to budget balance and millennial prosperity into a painful joke on the hubris of public policymakers. Accessibly written as a work of recent history and public policy as much as economics, this book is intended for all Americans interested in issues of economic ...

The Crazy Book About Normal Things: The Story of Jimmy Pebbel and Ferdinand Rock by Stjepan Krešimir Kračun (1 Review)    Price verified 8 hours ago

A journey of the mind in search of freedom, through darkness and through light, a descent into madness and beyond... PREFACE Dear reader, Welcome to the "The Crazy Book About Normal Things"! Did you know that if you're saying normal things but people think you're crazy - you're saying crazy things even though they're normal? Did you know that if you're insane, but you can assess your own insanity - in a court of law - you are sane? Strangely enough, and in that same court of law, if you are sane, but you can't find the mitigating circumstances to rationalize your behavior - you are insane. No-one's ever stepped down from the 'crazy pedestal' to have the stuff they say be re-categorized as normal again. Once you're on the other side of normal - that's it, you're in another universe. So, in this other universe, I was walking along my favorite Croatian beach one day, and I was wondering if there existed such a thing as existential doubt that is devoid of context - an existential fear that cannot be explained away. Deep in thought, my attention was roused by a pebble that was just about to commit suicide. As it turned out, he had just received a gift that is the hallmark of humankind: awareness of his own existence. And the first thing that he wanted to do with his newly found gift was: to throw it and himself with it - off the cliff. To his disappointment - I saved his life before he could end it, and, we talked. I learned that his name is Jimmy. I found out that he had an arch-enemy that lived nearby: Ferdinand Rock. How much of all this is true and normal, and how much of it is a crazy fantasy - it's up to you to decide. Sometimes I'm not sure myself - and I wrote this book. Sincerely yours, Stjepan, Jimmy and Ferdie

In the isolated rural valley of Terrene, where technology is grown, not manufactured, Flora Karachi paints her anguish with flowers and yearns to travel outside the mountain walls that guard her village.
