  Enemies of the People - We're...

  Something has gone wrong. We're living in an age of celebratory racism, extreme inequality, uncertainty and fear. We're governed by people who claim to be populist but who seem to hate everyone. There are idiots at the wheel and we're heading for a cliff in a big red bus and no one knows how to save us. 
  Enemies of The People reveals who has taken us to this dizzying precipice. It provides the actual, non-alternative facts about Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, Vladimir Putin and their charming friends – and also explains where they got their crazy ideas. Why did people turn so mean? How did so-called social networks like Facebook become so very anti-social? Why did anyone think it would be a good idea to privatise railways? Just how much should we fear the robots? Why is no one doing anything about Global Warming? Why is no one doing anything about Boris Johnson either? 
  This book explains all those vital questions and more. 
  Remember, though – they say history is written by the victors and fortunately, many of those currently winning can’t seem to write more than 140 characters at a time. This gives us the golden opportunity to set the record straight and snatch back the narrative. But if we’ve any chance of victory, we first need to know our enemy. 
  In Enemies of The People, Sam Jordison paints a vivid picture of the current political landscape, marked by corruption, misconduct, and a culture of fear. He delves into the biographies of famous figures, revealing their popular yet questionable ideologies.

  Route 66 Lost & Found - Ruins...

  “[The] text and photos make this . . . more than a pretty coffee-table book, Route 66 aficionados will want to add this descriptive tome to their collections.” —Ruidoso News (New Mexico) 
   
  Much more than a ribbon of crumbling asphalt, Route 66 is a cultural icon revered the world over for its nostalgic value—an east-west artery pointing America toward all the promise that the great West represented. But as stretches of Steinbeck’s “Mother Road” were bypassed and fell into disuse, so too did most of the bustling establishments that had sprouted up from Illinois to California to cater to weary travelers and hopeful vacationers alike. Motor courts, cafes, main streets, filling stations, and greasy spoons—all are represented in this second volume of Lost & Found images from photographer Russell Olsen. As with its predecessor, Route 66 Lost & Found (2004), this new installment presents dozens of locations along Route 66’s entire 2,297 miles, showing them both as in their heydays in period photographs and postcards and as they appear today. Each site is accompanied by a capsule history tracing the locale’s rise and fall (and sometimes rebirth), as well as an exclusive map pointing out its location along Route 66. 
   
  “Author Russell Olson has unearthed old photos and postcards of various buildings, landmarks and towns which he carefully researches and then rediscovers and takes pictures of them as they are today.” —Auto Aficionado 
   
   “I could barely put this down.” —Daily Express (UK) 
   
   “A good read for fans of roadside architecture.” —Classic and Sports Car (UK)

  Three titles in one! 
  Audiobook one: With the benefits of aquaponics, combining aquaculture and hydroponics, anyone interested in this topic should start with an informational guide. This is a great audiobook for hobbyists, beginners, and those who want to go pro. Would you rather spend a hundred dollars on a video course or just learn everything from an audiobook for a few bucks?  
  This audiobook gives you all the information and basics you need. Because of this excellent guide, you can save time, money, and frustrations by starting out the right way also and know what you are doing. Various decisions have to be made. Things have to be compared. The systems have to be built. All of these things will be easier with some key pieces of information for a great start.   
  Audiobook two: If you’re looking for new ideas and tips (not visual plans) on chicken coops, then this audiobook might be for you. You will be able to make better decisions by figuring out which coop design is right for you, whether you should start a chicken coop (things you may have overlooked), and much more. This is a fantastic little guide for new chicken farmers. It gives several different insights on coops and raising chickens, and in that way, it’s kind of a twofold guide. For detailed plans and measurements, listeners should look elsewhere, but for the newbie who is still deciding, considering, or wondering where to start, this is the best way to go.   
  Audiobook three: In case you’ve been living under a rock (a square one), you may have heard of square-foot gardening. It allows for a small space to grow plants and create a mini-ecosystem, if you will, that optimizes space and resources. In this brief introduction, you will learn all the basics you need to get started, and you may even be convinced by the end of the audiobook that this is the best way to garden. You will be amazed at the things you can do with limited resources.

  Autobiography of a Super-Tramp

  The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp is an autobiography published in 1908 by the Welsh poet and writer W. H. Davies (1871–1940). A large part of the book's subject matter describes the way of life of the tramp in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States in the final decade of the 19th century. George Bernard Shaw had become interested in Davies, a literary unknown at the time, and had agreed to write a preface for the book, largely through the concerted efforts of his wife Charlotte. Shaw was also instrumental in keeping the unusual title of the book, of which Davies himself was unsure, and which later proved to be controversial with some reviewers. The book was the third published by Davies, having been preceded by The Soul's Destroyer (1905) and New Poems (1907). The 1920 edition of the book concludes with five poems selected by Davies from The Soul's Destroyer. The book was written in the space of six weeks, "a great achievement for a first book by a man with the minimum of education." ( Wikipedia (edited by Expatriate))
