Paperback. Zustand: Good. The world would not be the same if there were no America. Americans have sacrificed the blood of our youth to insure liberty and freedom whenever and wherever such God-Given rights are challenged by tyrants, dictators and countries that wish to impose their will on others. From America, which has lead the world in unique and innovative discoveries, inventions, and means of production, we have been able to achieve unbelievable levels of comfort, health, safety, and manufacturing/agricultural capabilities, even to the point of landing men on the moon. We gladly shared all this with the rest of the world. Our free market capitalistic economic system has allow millions of people to escape the bonds of poverty, most often rooted in repressive centrally-planned governments. We have become the most sought after destination point for the citizens of other countries who wish to provide a better and safer life for their families, with unlimited opportunities for wealth, prosperity, happiness, safety, and good health. The Concept of America describes the great inventions and discoveries which have allow civilization to move forward with the means to improved life for all. Each step in the evolutionary process of meeting the needs of humanity, bring with them the stories of often overcoming great challenges, sacrifices beyond measure, and the fortitude required to achieve great heights. Most often the end result of achieving these goals lead to wealth beyond measure because of our unique ability to patent and copyright our ideas, enabling those with problem-solving abilities to reap the financial reward not found in collectivism societies. Contrary to what has been an attempt by our federal government to downplay American Exceptionalism, and create an attitude that we are no different than the other 195 countries, history tells us a different story. The Concept of America is a book about the lives of those who have given the world the tools needed to meet the challenges of tomorrow and could only have been made possible by the homogeneous mixture of the many races that have migrated to America creating a very prosperous and stable environment for creativity. There are millions of stories to tell that are distinctly American. They have all been possible because we are not just one of a 196 countries . . . America is a Concept. …

Most of us eat three meals a day with a smattering of snacks because we think that's the normal, healthy way to eat. This book shows why that's not the case. The human body and brain evolved to function well in environments where food could be obtained only intermittently. When we look at the eating patterns of our distant ancestors, we can see that an intermittent fasting eating pattern is normal--and eating three meals a day is not. In The Intermittent Fasting Revolution, prominent neuroscientist Mark Mattson shows that intermittent fasting is not only normal but also good for us; it can enhance our ability to cope with stress by making cells more resilient. It also improves mental and physical performance and protects against aging and disease. Intermittent fasting is not the latest fad diet; it doesn't dictate food choice or quantity. It doesn't make money for the pharmaceutical, processed food, or health care industries. Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that includes frequent periods of time with little or negligible amounts of food. It is often accompanied by weight loss, but, Mattson says, studies show that its remarkable beneficial effects cannot be accounted for by weight loss alone.Mattson--whose pioneering research uncovered the ways that the brain responds to fasting and exercise--explains how thriving while fasting became an evolutionary adaptation. He describes the specific ways that intermittent fasting slows aging; reduces the risk of diseases, including obesity, Alzheimer's, and diabetes; and improves both brain and body performance. He also offers practical advice on adopting an intermittent fasting eating pattern as well as information for parents and physicians.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Discover ways to help students develop relationships based on mutual trust and understanding in digital spaces and become active, participatory citizens in these spaces. For years, much of the available curricula for teaching digital citizenship focused on "don'ts." Don't share addresses or phone numbers. Don't give out passwords. Don't bully other students. The conversation then shifted, with digital citizenship curriculum moving toward teaching students how to positively brand themselves so that they would stand out for future scholarships and job opportunities. In the end, both messages failed to address one of the most important aspects of citizenship: being in community with others.

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. What do we do when the church looks nothing like Jesus? Many followers of Jesus feel disillusioned by a broken religion--one that loves political power, promises prosperity, and feeds on fear. We are desperately trying to rationalize how a loving God can be connected to unloving churches, institutions, and people. We can no longer deny that our version of Christianity is not just imperfect but has been coopted to inflict violence, racism, abuse, hate, and even death. The question before many Christians is no longer how their faith can survive within a secular culture. It's how their faith can survive Christianity itself. In The Great Reckoning, writer Stephen Mattson writes out of the rubble of the failed American faith. Instead of doomsaying or casting aspersions, however, Mattson offers hope for seekers looking for inspiration, solace for Christians fed up with an unsatisfying religion, and clarity for those sifting through the remains. The Great Reckoning is a clear-eyed yet tender critique of where we've gone wrong, and a guide away from the culture wars and toward the life of Jesus. Rather than further immersing ourselves in Christendom, what if we started rethinking what it means to be a Christian in the first place? What if Christians shed the hopes and dreams of Christianity and turned instead of the Christ at the center of our faith? Consider this a dispatch from the wreckage of American cultural Christianity, and an ode to the Jesus-looking faith we seek.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. "Like Whitehead's The Intuitionist, Alyssa Cole's When No One Is Watching or Zakiya Dalila Harris' The Other Black Girl, Reprieve straddles genres in the best possible way. . . . Sure to spark conversation and debate at book clubs across the land." -LOS ANGELES TIMES "An eventual American classic that is unrelenting in its beauty and incisive cultural critique." - KIESE LAYMON Recommended by New York Times * Los Angeles Times * NPR * Today * Esquire * O Quarterly * Boston Globe * Chicago Tribune * Harper's Bazaar * Shondaland * Thrillist * The Millions * Crimereads * XTRA * Tor * Literary Hub * and more! A chilling and blisteringly relevant literary novel of social horror centered around a brutal killing that takes place in a full-contact haunted escape room--a provocative exploration of capitalism, hate politics, racial fetishism, and our obsession with fear as entertainment.  On April 27, 1997, four contestants make it to the final cell of the Quigley House, a full-contact haunted escape room in Lincoln, Nebraska, made famous for its monstrosities, booby-traps, and ghoulishly costumed actors. If the group can endure these horrors without shouting the safe word, "reprieve," they'll win a substantial cash prize--a startling feat accomplished only by one other group in the house's long history. But before they can complete the challenge, a man breaks into the cell and kills one of the contestants. Those who were present on that fateful night lend their points of view: Kendra Brown, a teenager who's been uprooted from her childhood home after the sudden loss of her father; Leonard Grandton, a desperate and impressionable hotel manager caught in a series of toxic entanglements; and Jaidee Charoensuk, a gay international student who came to the United States in a besotted search for his former English teacher. As each character's journey unfurls and overlaps, deceit and misunderstandings fueled by obsession and prejudice are revealed, forcing all to reckon with the ways in which their beliefs and actions contributed to a horrifying catastrophe. An astonishingly soulful exploration of complicity and masquerade, Reprieve combines the psychological tension of classic horror with searing social criticism to present an unsettling portrait of this tangled American life.…
