The fife and drum of history mark the time of each passing day. And within their cadence, personalities, conflicts, discoveries, ideas, and nations peal and fade. American history is no different. From the starving time of Jamestown during the Winter of 1609, through the bloody argument of the Civil War, and to today, the United States is a tale best told one day at a time.
In The American Patriot's Almanac, Dr. William J. Bennett distills the American drama into three hundred sixty-five entries--one for each day of the year. Fascinating in its detail and singular in its grasp of the big themes, Bennett's Almanac will make anyone a fan of history, assembling even some of the most obscure details.
Boomtown: Chang's Famous Fireworks: This is a humerous mystery and adventure story that kids will love to read! Boomtown is the home of Chang's Famous Fireworks factory, the Slush Olympics, the "Fighting Slugs" football team, rocket reindeer, and flying barber chairs. Boomtown is a humorous tall tale about a fictional town and its odd residents, written to capture the attention and inspire the imagination of intermediate readers. It's a fun read. However, underneath the humorous veneer, Boomtown asks and answers the question, "What does a healthy community look like?" The main characters struggle as they learn to trust their neighbors.
I see a lot of potential Kindle buyers writing on message boards wondering how they can get a Kindle when they are living outside of the US. It is possible, but involves someone in the States helping you out. There are a lot of other ebook readers available now and with Google getting into the ebook game, it may not be necessary to get with Amazon to get the latest books. Below is a video from The Gadget Show which reviews three different ebook readers available in the UK. Keep in mind the video is a little old but the views of each reader are nice. There have been quite a few updates since this show including one on the BeBook, which now has added MobiPocket support. These ebook readers are also available for US users who are looking for something different.
Here is some more info:
BeBook:
The BeBook has .pdf support. If you are going to use this for a lot of .pdfs, check the forum on the website before buying. There was some of talk of having to do some reformatting to get the .pdfs to view correctly. This reader has the SD card slot which many Kindle 1 users missed when the Kindle was upgraded to version 2. BeBook also has links on their website to download 20,000 free books.
I received a message from the KindleChat group on Google from an author about his new Kindle book and thought I would share it with you.
This is from the author, George L. Cook III:
My book is titled Let's Talk Honestly: One Black Man's Thoughts. It is a collection of poems and essays inspired by my experiences as a soldier, community activist, time in politics, coach, husband, and father. And yes, they are inspired by my experiences as a black man living in the United States .
My hope is that by reading and sharing these poems many will see that while there are some serious issues in the Black Community that many African Americans want the same things many Americans do. Better schools, security, and yes, the American Dream.
