Riddle World
"Riddle World" is a creative and witty book that began as an attempt to maintain some degree of sanity while working as a highway flagger. The riddles were created to distract the author and his co-workers from the boredom of their daily tasks. This book does that and more. It invites the reader to think creatively and laugh heartily. Through words and sounds, twists of traditional phrases, and homonyms, the riddles will transport you, the reader, to places of enjoyment and innovation. These riddles were created for the amusement of children and adults who enjoy flights of fantasy and are easily bored. Comedians and persons with ADD may do especially well solving these conundrums. Those who struggle with depression may find their symptoms alleviated for several hours while visiting the world of riddles. The questions posited in this masterful book are all solvable and have entertained friends at lunch breaks and get-togethers for several years. The author invites the reader to open this book with the intention of experiencing magic, whimsy, and, just perhaps, extreme hilarity.

The Sovereign Citizen
Present-day Americans feel secure in their citizenship: they are free to speak up for any cause, oppose their government, marry a person of any background, and live where they choose—at home or abroad.

But there was a time when American-born and naturalized foreign-born individuals in the United States could be deprived of their citizenship and its associated rights. Patrick Weil examines the twentieth-century legal procedures, causes, and enforcement of denaturalization to illuminate an important but neglected dimension of Americans' understanding of sovereignty and federal autho...
Insider Histories of the Vietnam Era Underground Press, Part 2
This enlightening book offers a collection of histories of underground papers from the Vietnam Era as written and told by key staff members of the time. Their stories, building on those presented in Part 1, represent a wide range of publications: countercultural, gay, lesbian, feminist, Puerto Rican, Native American, Black, socialist, Southern consciousness, prisoners’ rights, New Age, rank-and-file, military, and more. Wachsberger notes that the underground press not only produced a few well-known papers but also was truly national and diverse in scope. His goal is to capture the essence of “the countercultural community.” This book will be a fundamental resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of a dramatic era in U.S. history, as well as offering a younger readership a glimpse into a generation of idealists who rose up to challenge and improve government and society.
