The court found that murder had not been committed. The accused was set free. The judges reasoning statement read, by definition, “Murder is the killing of a human being; the Chinaman is not a human being”. Mr. Nelson let me think about what I had read for a few moments then simply said, “Son, don’t let the bastards grind you down. Do your best, tell the truth and go home. Life is not fair and justice is not always attained”.

This book is a social and political commentary on America's most pressing problems in the first quarter of the 21st Century. It is written for the author's grandchildren of 50-100 years hence. They will never be able to find many of the details and minutiae of this decade. Knowledge and experience benefit future generations. Most people experience a time in their lives when they wish they knew more about their ancestors. In the past it was excusable because the means of obtaining that information was difficult. Modern technology means this generation has no excuse for ignoring their history. Illegitimi Non Carborundum relates current events to fascinating solutions. The federal budget can be balanced, prison populations can be reduced by half, and welfare rolls can be reduced or eliminated. Present leaders cannot think beyond the box. We can create innovative and original solutions with positive ideas. Asking important questions and condemning the ignorance of leaders who seek office but fail to lead is vital to today's issues. If you want to be one of those rare people who is not politically or socially bound to the present trend of pious correctness, this book will raise your consciousness and either make you applaud or fiercely condemn. There is plenty of blame to go around, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. This is the book with solutions that will turn America around.

An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from “the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction” (New York Times). Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss. In this multi-award-winning, bestselling novel, Margaret Atwood has created a stunning Orwellian vision of the near future. This is the story of Offred, one of the unfortunate “Handmaids” under the new social order who have only one purpose: to breed. In Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships, Offred’s persistent memories of life in the “time before” and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. Provocative, startling, prophetic, and with Margaret Atwood’s devastating irony, wit, and acute perceptive powers in full force, The Handmaid’s Tale is at once a mordant satire and a dire warning.

Gleaned from the riches of Keats' letters to his friends and relatives, these previously uncollected poems reveal a lesser-known aspect of the poet's sensibility, showing him to be a witty and occasionally irreverent young writer. A verse letter full of "shapes, and shadows and remembrances;" a sonnet on a "craggy ocean-pyramid;" a "mysterious tale" of which the poet cannot speak Fugitive Poemsoffers a precious insight into what manner of man John Keats really was and how he lived out his poetic life. The archetypal Romantic writer, John Keats is one of the greatest, most influential poets of the 19th century.
