Download or read book The Second American Revolution written by James Patterson and published by William Morrow. This book was released on 1994 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The majority of Americans don't believe in the system anymore. We don't think the politicians really care about us. We don't perceive any difference between the two parties. We don't think the government acts in our best interests. We are disenchanted, fed up, and angry." "The press doesn't write about this frustration: It's not a story because everyone accepts it as a given. But in fact this is a massive opinion shift that has gone unnoticed, unreported, and unresolved. We are in the midst of the Second American Revolution - and nobody is talking about it." "This book not only recognizes this reality; it responds to it, and gives it expression. And it harnesses the people's frustration and rage into positive energy. The message is clear: "We can make the system work. We can fix America. Just let us be heard."" "James Patterson and Peter Kim, heads of major advertising agencies, found a way to combine the spirit of 1776 with the technology of the twenty-first century. Using advanced market-research methods, they located a typical American town, put several issues to debate in a town hall setting, and talked with thousands of Americans across the nation to determine what the people say needs to be done to solve the country's most pressing problems. Most important, Patterson and Kim conducted the most democratic referendum ever held in the country to determine the people's choice for president of the United States." "This book is a clarion call, a shot to be heard 'round the land. It articulates loudly and clearly - and for the first time - the true voice of the people. No politics, no hype, no bull."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Book excerpt: Jack Reacher meets The Patriot in this exhilarating time travel alternate history series! When we lost the American Rebellion against the British in the 1700s, the world for the colonists changed for the worse. After centuries of suffering under the oppressive thumb of the English crown, a wealthy American entrepreneur in the 21st century finds an alien craft that can travel through time. That man is my best friend. And he figured out how to use that alien tech with one goal in mind: to go back in time and use our modern technology and knowledge to help the American Colonists defeat the English, with their Revolutionary War, and change the course of history for the better. And why does he ask me, a lowly, disgraced, former police officer, to be the one to make this precarious journey and try to change history? Because after a British official murdered my wife and got away with it, I have nothing left to lose. This way, even if I don't make it back, the course of time will have changed and maybe, just maybe, in the new future I can help shape, America might be a free country and the woman who would have been my wife would be alive. Those two aspirations are worth fighting for. I only hope I can achieve the impossible and change America's future by going into the past. Second Chance is the first book in the Pale Rider series, an alternate American Revolutionary War retelling. If you like American history, time travel, and alternate history fiction, then discover Second Chance today!

Download or read book Tea Party Patriots written by Mark Meckler and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2012-02-14 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive history of one of the most radical, revolutionary movements the country has ever seen, from those who started it all In 2009, an unemployed mother of two and a politically inexperienced northern California attorney met on a conference call that would end up starting one of the largest grassroots political organizations in American history, the Tea Party Patriots. Fueled by the fires of passion and patriotism, Mark Meckler and Jenny Beth Martin have become the faces of the most powerful political movement in the country, empowering their more than twenty million members by using both high-tech advances and the time-tested American tradition of rallying in public. Promoting the basic principles of the Tea Party Movement—free market, limited government, and fiscal responsiblity—the Tea Party Patriots have become the largest tea party organization in the world. With unparalleled access to the inner workings of the movement, Meckler and Martin hope to explain how the Tea Party came to be, what it is and is not, and perhaps most important, provide the first comprehensive, forward-looking document outlining a plan to restore America to its prior greatness. Never before has there been such an audience for this material. Americans of all political stripes have been waiting for a thorough and informative account of this movement. Straight from the co-founders themselves, Tea Party Patriots promises to be the definitive source for a political revolution.

Download or read book The Second American Revolution written by Gregory P. Downs and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the confusion about a central event in United States history begins with the name: the Civil War. In reality, the Civil War was not merely civil--meaning national--and not merely a war, but instead an international conflict of ideas as well as armies. Its implications transformed the U.S. Constitution and reshaped a world order, as political and economic systems grounded in slavery and empire clashed with the democratic process of republican forms of government. And it spilled over national boundaries, tying the United States together with Cuba, Spain, Mexico, Britain, and France in a struggle over the future of slavery and of republics. Here Gregory P. Downs argues that we can see the Civil War anew by understanding it as a revolution. More than a fight to preserve the Union and end slavery, the conflict refashioned a nation, in part by remaking its Constitution. More than a struggle of brother against brother, it entailed remaking an Atlantic world that centered in surprising ways on Cuba and Spain. Downs introduces a range of actors not often considered as central to the conflict but clearly engaged in broader questions and acts they regarded as revolutionary. This expansive canvas allows Downs to describe a broad and world-shaking war with implications far greater than often recognized.
Download or read book Second Chances written by Stephen Greenblatt and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful exploration of the human capacity for renewal, as seen through Shakespeare and Freud In this fresh investigation, Stephen Greenblatt and Adam Phillips explore how the second chance has been an essential feature of the literary imagination and a promise so central to our existence that we try to reproduce it again and again. Innumerable stories, from the Homeric epics to the New Testament, and from Oedipus Rex to Hamlet, explore the realization or failure of second chances--outcomes that depend on accident, acts of will, or fate. Such stories let us repeatedly rehearse the experience of loss and recovery: to know the joy that comes with a renewal of love and pleasure and to face the pain that comes with realizing that some damage can never be undone. Through a series of illuminating readings, the authors show how Shakespeare was the supreme virtuoso of the second chance and Freud was its supreme interpreter. Both Shakespeare and Freud believed that we can narrate our life stories as tales of transformation, of momentous shifts, constrained by time and place but often still possible. Ranging from The Comedy of Errors to The Winter's Tale, and from D. W. Winnicott to Marcel Proust, the authors challenge readers to imagine how, as Phillips writes, "it is the mending that matters."
Download or read book The Soviet Colossus written by Michael G. Kort and published by M.E. Sharpe. This book was released on 2015-05-18 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twentieth century was not kind to Russia. Despite its great potential and remarkable achievements, the country also bore the weight of two world wars, a revolution and civil war, totalitarian tyranny, famine and ecological destruction, economic ruin, and imperial decline. Will Russia ever be prosperous, peaceful, and free? Seeking clues in the past, Michael Kort revisits earlier turning points in Russia's history--from the fall of the old regime to the establishment of the Bolshevik dictatorship and Stalinist totalitarianism; from the reforms and counter-reforms of Khrushchev and Brezhnev to the tumultuous years of change under Gorbachev and Yeltsin. Which strands of Russia's past is their successor, Vladimir Putin, weaving into the fabric of the present, and which are being allowed to fade, for better or worse? This new edition of The Soviet Colossus brings the story up through the first decade of the twenty-first century. Distinctively readable, judicious, and focused on critical events and questions, it integrates new revelations about the Soviet past and ongoing debates about the Soviet regime as well as its successor. It is the ideal text for as one semester history course or background for a political science course.
Download or read book Ethical Legal written by ''EL'' Lee and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-02-25 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about legality in its relation with morality. It is to explore dialectical dynamics in-between the two subject matters, i.e., legality and morality. It is because, in reality, the ethical foundation of legality is getting weaker and more ineffectual. That is why the authority of the law is getting weaker and less effective, as time goes on. That is consequently why there are more violence and crimes in American society, if not in the entire global community. This book is by no means to teach you the law. Legality has its own rich history and tradition, formal and informal conventions, and profound and diverse theories and doctrines. This book is simply geared to highlight the ethical dimension in the nature and function of the law. In brief, it is to “ethicalize” the law in its legislation, interpretation, and execution. Instead of discussing in detailed theories and doctrines of the law being entertained by its complexities and diversities, this book is to investigate philosophically major themes of the law, mainly in order to reveal their inherent connections with ethics and ultimately to emphasize the crucial necessity of ethics in legality. Unless we radically increase the ethical implication in legality, the humanity may not be able to entertain the twenty-second century.
