How to Memorize All the U.S. Presidents and Anything Else You Need to Remember?


Book Description

Do you have trouble remembering names, figures, people, places and things? Do you wish that there was a system that you and your children could comprehend that could improve your memory skills? How to memorize all the US Presidents and anything else you need to remember? offers a fail proof, easy to understand technique that will enable you to use the full power of your brain. Dr. Johnny Frog's method of learning is based on the Major system combining a mixture of images, words, letters and figures drawn only once, instead of repetitiously, forcing your brain to work a new way; by doing so, the left part of the brain is inhibited from capturing information, enabling you to use the full power of the massive parallelism of the brain. You'll find Dr. Frog's system fun and user-friendly-set up so that it seems a game, not drudgery. As a student, an executive or simply with the kids, you'll find your memory skills vastly improved once you've learned the ground rules of the system. Impress your friends as you rattle off all 44 Presidents, their terms in the White House, and the dates they served-all from memory!

Presidential Campaigns


Book Description

"Presidential Campaigns devotes a chapter to each of America's elections, from George Washington's in 1789 to George W. Bush's in 2000, dealing with the candidates, the conventions, the party platforms, the speeches, and the reasons for the victories and defeats on election day. The book contains campaign highlights, too, singling out for special attention the gaffes, surprises, dramatic events, and novel ways of vote-chasing that turned up in each campaign. With a postscript analyzing the major changes in the ways Americans have conducted their campaigns through the years, Presidential Campaigns shows that for all their shortcomings, America's quadrennial races represent a basic feature of the American system and, for better or worse, reveal a great deal about the nature of the American people and their culture."--Jacket.
