We the People (Study Guide) Feature

This brief, comprehensive book provides a lively, narrative introduction to American Government and Politics. The approach of We the People is to present the material with a currency and relevancy that captures the vivid world of real-life politics. In addition, We the People challenges students to think critically by giving contextual understanding of major concepts and issues, encouraging them to think about the implications for themselves and society. We the People delves deeper into the basics than most brief books, and each of the 17 chapters (including 3 policy chapters) concludes with a reading selection as well as an extensive bibliography. We the People is accompanied by a CD and Online Learning Center that is unsurpassed in American Government.

Although the first black slaves arrived in Jamestown, Virginia in 1619, our knowledge of African American history is often limited to "lessons" in films.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to African American History reveals a full portrait of black life, including familiar figures such as Harriet Tubman, W.E.B. DuBois, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Reefer Movie Madness: The Ultimate Stoner Film Guide Feature

Reefer Movie Madness is the perfect follow-up to Halperin and Bloom’s big-selling Pot Culture. It’s the most extensive guide ever to movies for the stoner audience, a real market that has proven its mass appeal with the successful Harold and Kumar franchise and the Judd Apatow library (Pineapple Express, Superbad).

 

In addition to entries on more than 420 films, there are contributions from well known actors, movie directors, musicians, and celebrities, including Jason Mraz, comedian Andy Milonakis, Snoop Dogg, Doug Benson, and Cheech & Chong. Reefer Movie Madness covers it all, from pot-fueled comedies and druggy dramas to sci-fi flicks and 1960s artifacts to documentaries, musicals, and blockbusters. With its colorful, easy-to-follow format and lots of eye-grabbing photos, sidebars (“Real Pot or Not? An On-Set Exposé”), lists (“DIY Inventions by Clever Movie Stoners”), and Q&As, Reefer Movie Madness is the guide­book that bong-hitting movie buffs have been longing for.

The A to Z of Unitarian Universalism (The A to Z Guide Series)

The A to Z of Unitarian Universalism (The A to Z Guide Series) Review

The A to Z of Unitarian Universalism (The A to Z Guide Series) Feature

Small though it may be, Unitarian Universalism has had a big impact not only on its members but also on the world around it. Rejecting the constraints of other Christian denominations, it sought tolerance for itself and, surprisingly, freely granted tolerance to others. Evolving in its principles and practices over a relatively short lifetime, it shows every sign of developing further, reaching beyond Christianity to embrace what is good in other, more diverse religions. Unitarian Universalism has also regularly been at the forefront in fighting for social causes, including abolition, temperance, women's suffrage, pacifism, educational reform, environmentalism, and others.

Unitarian Universalism has also spread with time. First developed in present-day Romania and Hungary, its center shifted early to England, but its most successful story is the way it grew and flourished in the United States. This reference covers numerous subjects, both historical and contemporary, with entries on the places where the church was present, many more on significant leaders, and an impressive number on causes and issues. All the important people, events, and ideas in this religion are included, as well as important late-20th-century battles, including racism and new principles and purposes.

About Time 4: The Unauthorized Guide to Doctor Who (Seasons 12 to 17) (About Time Series) (About Time; The Unauthorized Guide to Dr. Who (Mad Norwegian Press)) Feature

About Time serves as the definitive (albeit unofficial) guide to Doctor Who Seasons 12 to 17, the main bulk of the Tom Baker era. Written by Lawrence Miles (Faction Paradox) and Tat Wood (SFX, TV Zone), About Time not only examines the usual continuity concerns (alien races, etc.) in bursting detail, but looks at how the political / social issues of the 1970s affected the show's production. Essays in this volume include: Where (and When) is Gallifrey?, Why Couldn't the BBC Just Have Spent More Money?, Why Does Earth Keep Getting Invaded? and War of the Daleks: Should Anyone Believe a Word of It?
