Ring of Fire

The battle between democracy and tyranny is joined, and the American Revolution has begun over a century ahead of schedule. A cosmic accident has shifted a modern West Virginia town back through time and space to land it and its twentieth century technology in Germany in the middle of the Thirty Years War. History must take a new course as American freedom and democracy battle against the squabbling despots of seventeenth-century Europe.

Jon Stewart - America (The Audiobook): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction

Jon Stewart, host of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning The Daily Show, and his coterie of patriots deliver a hilarious look at American government. Jon Stewart, along with the writers of The Daily Show, combines his riotous wit and razor-sharp insight in this hilarious book. American-style democracy is the world's most beloved form of government, which explains why so many other nations are eager for us to impose it on them.

Peter Watson's hugely ambitious and stimulating history of ideas from deep antiquity to the present day—from the invention of writing, mathematics, science, and philosophy to the rise of such concepts as the law, sacrifice, democracy, and the soul—offers an illuminated path to a greater understanding of our world and ourselves.

Review
“Drawing on 30-plus years of experience in education as both a teacher and a counselor, Tauber presents a text for those who are new to teaching or who have had little coursework in discipline. In addition to expanding and updating the existing material, the fourth edition includes three new chapters on democracy and schooling, and how democracy impacts discipline; acting and discipline, and how teachers can use acting/performance skills to engage students and handle discipline problems; and the growing problem of bullying in schools.”–Reference & Research Book News --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
