We often feel as though we can make any number of choices in our lifetime, and when looking back on those choices we usually believe we could have made different ones. "You're Determined: This Explains Everything You Do" argues why this way of thinking is basically incorrect. Through philosophical and scientific inquiry, it is clear that our choices are simply a mere product of causation. This book explains this idea described as "determinism," and argues that policy and law makers ought to adopt this way of thinking for the betterment of the human race.
Theodore Stern's ethnological monograph details the various rubber-ball games from South America, Central America, Mexico, and the southwestern United States, with discussion of equipment, game play, and folklore. Many games are known from ancient times (with play depicted in sculptures and other art), while other variations have been described by travelers up through recent times. This is a fascinating look at the American precursors to modern sport.
Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, originally platted as the village of "Rochester," took shape in the late 1830s and 1840s. Settled by Yankee businessmen from the East, "Sheboygan at the Falls" was strong from the beginning, surviving even the national financial panic of 1837. As the village grew up along the Sheboygan River, this reliable source of water ensured rapid growth of industry and population and the accompanying prosperity. A city of Greek Revival and Cream City brick architecture, Sheboygan Falls boasts two districts listed on the National Historic Register. The Cole Historic District is the largest Greek Revival District west of the East Coast. Its five buildings were built between 1837 and 1846. The largely original downtown business district of the city includes buildings that once housed a tannery, a cheese bandage factory, a rake factory, a woolen mill, a Temperance Hall for teetotalers, and a Free Hall for women.
