Profiles in Cowardice is about those men and women who lost their moral bearings in the maelstrom of the Trump administration and put their own self-interests and that of a rogue president over the higher duties to the US Constitution, their oaths of office, their fellow citizens, and their country. This book will hopefully help to keep their names in the country's consciousness, so that their infamy can serve as an example for generations to come. These men and women betrayed their country and put our constitutional republic in peril.

Quante furono davvero le vittime delle foibe? È vero che gli italiani venivano gettati vivi nelle cavità carsiche? È corretto interpretare l'esodo degli italiani come una pulizia etnica o un "genocidio"? Perché si è cominciato a parlare della tragedia dell'esodo solo a distanza di molto tempo e come ne parlano le forze politiche oggi? E che dire dei film realizzati su questa dolorosa vicenda?

Ao longo dos ensaios e dos fragmentos, o ouvinte perceberá que sou contra um mundo melhor, que sou cético e que carrego uma sensibilidade trágica, independentemente de minha vontade filosófica. E por quê? Porque o que nos humaniza é o fracasso, homens e mulheres muito felizes não são homens e mulheres. Tenho medo de pessoas muito felizes. A consciência trágica, seja ela cósmica, seja miserável, miúda e cotidiana, determina o horizonte onde se move o humano.

What a ride 2020 has been. We all know of the chaos and difficulty that it brought. But in every tragedy, there is some silver lining, a station that seems like the end of the road that turns out to be only a pit stop on the way. So, perhaps we can start to look for ours. Because 2020 may have been a year of hardship and tragedy, but it’s also been a year of growth, of learning, and of coming together to be the best we have ever been - not only for ourselves, but for the good of our families, our communities, our countries, and our world.

The 2020 Presidential Election is undoubtedly, the most important election of the century. Amid an onslought of senseless killings among unarmed African Americans by vigilante civilians and trigger-happy police and a pandemic which unveiled an enormous disparity in health care for African Americans, the country is being led by an incumbent Commander in Chief who appears “unbothered” by it all. In November, America is tasked with choosing its next leader - one who will be charged with salvaging what’s left of its democracy.

Showcasing these landmark findings, Caught in the Path of Katrina: A Survey of the Hurricane's Human Effects yields a more complete understanding of the traumas endured as a result of the Storm of the Century.

I wrote a book on Nine-Eleven, but it's just a little book. If I could tell you anything about the events of September 11th, 2001, it would be in this audiobook. The basic information in this audiobook is enough to warrant a new investigation, in my opinion. Still, this is only a small part of the real battle we face each and every day. What is Truth? Jesus Christ is truth. Nine-Eleven is just another attack by evil forces who seek to rule this world. For a short time evil will reign, but only until Christ returns.

Alaric Thain’s History of the 21st Century recounts the events of the pivotal 21st century in a way that can be understood by people of the 29th century, who live in what might considered a progressive utopia. Alaric Thain was born in 2064 but traveled extensively at relativistic speeds until he returned to Earth and wrote his seminal work in 2864. His point of view is unique as he is able both to understand the motivations of 21st-century humans and explain them to 29th-century humans.

The gun is antiquated technology, and it is responsible for tens of thousands of senseless killings every year. Humanity has accepted that killing is an unavoidable fact of life - but Rick Smith argues that it doesn’t need to be this way and that we have the means to make the bullet obsolete in our lifetime. Smith is the founder of TASER (now Axon), and in this book, he demonstrates that change won't come by way of stricter gun control laws. No, what holds us back is our skepticism about new technologies and their potential.
