After decades of failing to reach his fellow conservatives, it was time for Will Hartline to try something radical enough to get noticed. So, he decided to advance a plan that appeared highly favorable to his political adversaries—the men and women who supported Big Government. His Political Year Strategy was brilliantly simple—it merely called for Congress to change Election Day to February 29th. Once the election date changed, then “Year’ (as it related to elections and elected federal terms) could become the interval of time until the designated day used for elections again showed up on the calendar. Suddenly, it would appear that Presidents could serve four “Political Years”...
Never before has the Earth, centuries in its development, been within seconds of total annihilation. Captain Alexi Romanoff, a Slovanian astronaut and inventor of a telescope that can x-ray the insides of any heavenly body focused within its sight, discovers a geological phenomenon beneath the earths surface. They are tunnels. They travel all over the globe, connecting the vast expanses of the earth. If used in good faith, they could potentially aid humankind in incalculable ways. If manipulated with evil intent, they could be twisted into a weapon of mass destruction. Josef Janos possesses that very evil intent. As a child, he watched as his parents were viciously slaughtered during the bloody Slovanian revolution. In exile, he has anxiously awaited the opportunity to unleash his revenge. Accompanied by six other deposed tyrants, and with access to enough gold to buy anyone's ethics, Josef Janos is about to have his day.
Combining research-based perspectives and current examples including Minecraft and Animal Crossing : New Horizons, We the Gamers shows how games can be used in ethics, civics, and social studies education to inspire learning, critical thinking, and civic change.

In the autumn of 1943 the German Bernhardt Line ran through Mignano Gap, 12 miles south-west of Cassino. XIV Panzer Korps was to make a stand there, holding up the advancing US 5th Army - two thirds American, one third British - whilst Cassino was being fortified. If the 5th Army broke through Mignano Gap before Cassino's fortifications were really strong, Allied armour would smash its way through the town and go on to take Rome. Drawing on the memories of veterans who fought at Mignano Gap, and on extensive archive research, this book presents a wide-ranging account of this major battle, and describes how close the 5th Army came to making the crucial breakthrough. The author served with the Green Jackets in World War II and his 1969 publication, "The Recollections of Rifleman Bowlby", was republished 20 years later.

The Atari Video Computer System, aka VCS, later renamed the Atari 2600 after its model number (CX2600), was the first popular programmable home video game console. The VCS wasn't the first in any area except one: it was the first really popular programmable home video game console. Sales of the VCS were gigantic. Atari would ultimately move 30 million units, and the machine remained in production until 1992. It lasted a venerable 15 years, and survived long enough to compete against the SNES. And it did all this with a hardware set that could at best be described as ludicrous. This is generally a book of reviews of interesting Atari VCS games, but there are some important caveats.
