Why is Miami… Miami? What does the heartbreaking fate of the cheetah tell us about the way we raise our children? Why do Ivy League schools care so much about sports? What is the Magic Third, and what does it mean for racial harmony? In this provocative new work, Malcolm Gladwell returns to the subject of social epidemics and tipping points, this time with the aim of explaining the dark side of contagious phenomena. Through a series of gripping stories, Gladwell traces the rise of a new and troubling form of social engineering

In this new revision of his 25 year-old classic the tipping point, the Revenge of the Tipping Point will make it clear to you exactly what American needs to think about today. Where are the tipping points in our society and how we can make a better world. No you’re not gonna get a checklist, no you’re not going to get some five step process; what you were going to get is a deep dive into the process of really thinking through a problem, situation, world, problem, and try to figure out the tipping point. Armed with that knowledge, success will be yours.

The white power movement in America wants a revolution. It has declared all-out war against the federal government and its agents, and has carried out - with military precision - an escalating campaign of terror against the American public. In Bring the War Home, Kathleen Belew gives us the first full history of the movement that consolidated in the 1970s and 1980s around a potent sense of betrayal in the Vietnam War and made tragic headlines in the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building.

Very well written, researched and not boring. It’s a shame it’s nonfiction.. we clearly have a problem in this country. That’s not going away anywhere soon. US military, we could write our own happy ending..

Where phenomenal storytelling and History Meet

If you only read one book about how we got to here, this is it. a story of how the road to an insurrection, and a personal reckoning are often paved with the best of intentions. A cautionary tale for us.

Political violence rips apart several towns in southwest Texas. A far-right militia plots to kidnap the governor of Michigan and try her for treason. An armed mob of Trump supporters and conspiracy theorists storms the U.S. Capitol. Are these isolated incidents? Or is this the start of something bigger? Barbara F.

He was brash. Politically incorrect. An “outsider” political candidate who rose to the White House, out of nowhere, with a reputation as a “counter-puncher.” But Vice President Spiro Agnew was also something else… an active criminal whose secrets were about to be exposed. What happens when a “counter-puncher” in the White House suddenly sees his political future directly threatened by investigators inside his own Justice Department?

Revisado: 12-24-22
As someone who is radicalized, at least, that’s what my Republican fathers characterization was after Kent state, even though I was not old enough to even be in high school at the time; this book both shows the way forward by remembering the past while making it clear leave a lot of work to do. Highly recommend. Yes I’m aware this is a run on sentence.

Great Book if a tad confusing
Revisado: 11-25-21
If you love Dr. Eversong and the way that Alex Kingston performed her, then this is the book for you. It gives you every bit of Dr. Riversong and Alex Kingston at their finest. The story is a little confusing auditorily speaking; best to listen to it when you’re not driving if possible. Looking forward to listening to it again to feel of the plot holes, but overall quite satisfying. Highly recommend that you buy it.

In his first-ever Doctor Who novel, Tom Baker’s incredible imagination is given free rein. A story so epic it was originally intended for the big screen, Scratchman is a gripping, white-knuckle thriller almost 40 years in the making. The Doctor, Harry and Sarah Jane Smith arrive at a remote Scottish island when their holiday is cut short by the appearance of strange creatures - hideous scarecrows who are preying on the local population. The islanders are living in fear, and the Doctor vows to save them all.

She was already well-known in some circles before March 6, 2018, but that's probably the first time you heard the name Stormy Daniels. That's the day she filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump over a nondisclosure agreement negotiated before the election but never signed. How did Stormy Daniels become the woman willing to take on a president? What is it like to be reviled by some, held up as a beacon of hope by others, and to be an object of fascination to all? In this audiobook, Stormy Daniels tells her whole story for the first time....
