DOWNLOAD EBOOK →I Want My Country Back is a provocative book meant to entice the reader into thinking beyond what is apparent in our society today and begin once more to think in terms beyond one. This book will probe you to get beneath the surface of our everyday crises to reconnect to our past, envision a growing future and start to live in the present as a United States again. The first two thirds of the book disclose major hardship topics severely affecting our society today and exposing the reader to the draining causes of where we, as a nation have gone astray and ended up. A common underlying theme points to the root cause triggering many of the dilemmas we find ourselves straddled with today and offers some alternatives towards stemming the tide of where we are heading so we may garner new hope and vision that will lead to long term growth manufactured out of substance rather than spun out of hype. The final third of this reading introduces some opportunity and suggestions for the challenges we face to brighten our future and ignite a passion to pass on a legacy that restores the American Dream that our forefathers afforded us. The message being conveyed here attempts to rekindle our society to dare facing ourselves and where our true allegiance lies as a people so that we can renew the perpetual fight for independence with that eternal spirit that ushered in our freedom.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Historic sites, memorials, national parks, museums...we live in an age in which heritage is ever-present. But what does it mean to live amongst the spectral traces of the past, the heterogeneous piling up of historic materials in the present? How did heritage grow from the concern of a handful of enthusiasts and specialists in one part of the world to something which is considered to be universally cherished? And what concepts and approaches are necessary to understanding this global obsession? Over the decades, since the adoption of the World Heritage Convention, various ‘crises’ of definition have significantly influenced the ways in which heritage is classified, perceived and managed in contemporary global societies. Taking an interdisciplinary approach to the many tangible and intangible ‘things’ now defined as heritage, this book attempts simultaneously to account for this global phenomenon and the industry which has grown up around it, as well as to develop a ‘toolkit of concepts’ with which it might be studied. In doing so, it provides a critical account of the emergence of heritage studies as an interdisciplinary field of academic study. This is presented as part of a broader examination of the function of heritage in late modern societies, with a particular focus on the changes which have resulted from the globalisation of heritage during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Developing new theoretical approaches and innovative models for more dialogically democratic heritage decision making processes, Heritage: Critical Approaches unravels the relationship between heritage and the experience of late modernity, whilst reorienting heritage so that it might be more productively connected with other pressing social, economic, political and environmental issues of our time.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Every American should read this book to return our country to the land of the free and the home of the brave. America the Beautiful My American Dream is the fourth in the series about the problems confronting the United States of America. The other members of the series are Bashing Sarah Palin, America Can Recover and A Beautiful America. These books will make some people smile, some Laugh, some will agree, some will disagree, some might cry and some will think I am crazy. The purpose is to make people think about what is happening in our government. It doesnt matter whether you are a Democrat or Republican; make sure that your candidate is looking out for the people of your district. Remember it should be We the People, By the People and For the People and if your Representatives do not understand that then dont vote for them. Your vote really does matter. It doesnt matter which side of the isle you vote on. Both sides play these games. Right now our political system is broken and I hope they keep on fighting so that more voting Americans will wake up, get involved and really take a good long look at both candidates no matter what letter is next to their names. Hopefully then we can get a few quality people back in Washington who actually vote what their districts really want. Politics is about open ideas and cooperation anyway. Isnt it?

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This revised edition features a new afterword, updated through the 2016 election. On February 19, 2009, CNBC commentator Rick Santelli delivered a dramatic rant against Obama administration programs to shore up the plunging housing market. Invoking the Founding Fathers and ridiculing "losers" who could not pay their mortgages, Santelli called for "Tea Party" protests. Over the next two years, conservative activists took to the streets and airways, built hundreds of local Tea Party groups, and weighed in with votes and money to help right-wing Republicans win electoral victories in 2010. In this penetrating new study, Harvard University's Theda Skocpol and Vanessa Williamson go beyond images of protesters in Colonial costumes to provide a nuanced portrait of the Tea Party. What they find is sometimes surprising. Drawing on grassroots interviews and visits to local meetings in several regions, they find that older, middle-class Tea Partiers mostly approve of Social Security, Medicare, and generous benefits for military veterans. Their opposition to "big government" entails reluctance to pay taxes to help people viewed as undeserving "freeloaders" - including immigrants, lower income earners, and the young. At the national level, Tea Party elites and funders leverage grassroots energy to further longstanding goals such as tax cuts for the wealthy, deregulation of business, and privatization of the very same Social Security and Medicare programs on which many grassroots Tea Partiers depend. Elites and grassroots are nevertheless united in hatred of Barack Obama and determination to push the Republican Party sharply to the right. The Tea Party and the Remaking of Republican Conservatism combines fine-grained portraits of local Tea Party members and chapters with an overarching analysis of the movement's rise, impact, and likely fate.
