  Big Men Fear Me - The Fast Life...

  The remarkable true story of the rise and fall of one of North America's most influential media moguls. 
  When George McCullagh bought The Globe and The Mail and Empire and merged them into the Globe and Mail, the charismatic 31-year-old high school dropout had already made millions on the stock market. It was just the beginning of the meteoric rise of a man widely expected to one day be prime minister of Canada. But the charismatic McCullagh had a dark side. Dogged by the bipolar disorder that destroyed his political ambitions and eventually killed him, he was all but written out of history. It was a loss so significant that journalist Robert Fulford has called McCullagh’s biography "one of the great unwritten books in Canadian history"—until now.  
  In Big Men Fear Me, award-winning historian Mark Bourrie tells the remarkable story of McCullagh’s inspirational rise and devastating fall, and with it sheds new light on the resurgence of populist politics, challenges to collective action, and attacks on the free press that characterize our own tumultuous era.

  Cholula: The History and Legacy...

  Cholula is one of the most interesting, enigmatic, and forgotten cities in ancient Mesoamerica, and few people are aware that it is the oldest continuously-occupied settlement in the entire Western hemisphere. The current city is known for the Great Pyramid, which has the largest base of all pyramids in the world, as well as its many colonial churches and constant religious celebrations. All of these things ensure that Cholula is heavily visited, but the tremendous importance of Prehispanic Cholula has mostly been lost in the historical accounts of Puebla and even Mexico as a whole. 
  	Located in the Puebla-Tlaxcala Valley within a very fertile area, the Prehispanic city of Cholula was founded around 500 BCE. It soon developed into an important city and the construction of its Great Pyramid began around 200 BCE. During the height of Teotihuacan’s influence in the Classic period and the expansion of the Aztecs in the Postclassic, Cholula managed to maintain its independence and grew to become the greatest religious center in central Mesoamerica. As the main site for the cult of the god Quetzalcoatl, Cholula received pilgrims from many Prehispanic cities, and the two high priests of the Temple of Quetzalcoatl were charged with confirming the legitimacy of these foreign rulers, making their role one of the most important in the region. 
  	In addition to its religious influence, Cholula was also a very important commercial center. Many lavish and exotic goods were traded at its market, and the city’s merchant class also exported a variety of luxury crafts produced in Cholula, such as richly adorned textiles and very fine polychrome pottery. Cholula has been mentioned on some level in modern works concerning Mesoamerica, but in most cases it is simply named alongside a list of other Prehispanic sites.

  Theodore Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber, is a United States murderer, mathematician, and neo-Luddite social critic who carried out a campaign of mail bombings. He was born in Chicago, Illinois, where, as an intellectual child prodigy, he excelled academically from an early age. 
  A considerable amount of credible circumstantial evidence suggests that Kaczynski was the unwitting victim of top secret CIA-sponsored 'MK-ULTRA' mind-control experiments conducted at Harvard University from the fall of 1959 through the spring of 1962. Some experts suggest that these experiments may have been the cause of his emotional problems. 
  Kaczynski eventually received an undergraduate degree from Harvard University and earned a PhD in mathematics from the University of Michigan. He became an assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley at age 25 but resigned two years later. 
  In 1971, he moved to a remote cabin without electricity or running water, in Lincoln, Montana, where he began to learn survival skills in an attempt to become self-sufficient. 
  He decided to start his bombing campaign after watching the wilderness around his home get destroyed by development. 
  From 1978 to 1995, Kaczynski sent 16 bombs to targets including universities and airlines, killing three people and injuring 23. Kaczynski sent a letter to The New York Times on April 24, 1995 and promised "to desist from terrorism" if the Times or The Washington Post published his manifesto. In his Industrial Society and Its Future (also called the "Unabomber Manifesto"), he argued that his bombings were extreme but necessary to attract attention to the erosion of human freedom necessitated by modern technologies requiring large-scale organization. 
  included in this volume: 
  -Unnamed Essay 
  -When Non-Violence is Suicide 
  -Hit Where It Hurts 
  -Industrial Society and Its Future (aka The Unabomber Manifesto)

  Most students prepare for the SAT the same way: 
  More practice. More time. More effort. 
  And yet… scores often don’t reflect it. 
  After scoring a 1490 on the SAT and earning a full-ride scholarship to the University of Central Florida, I noticed something that didn’t make sense: 
  Some of the smartest students I knew—straight-A students—were scoring in the 1200s. 
  That one test was limiting their college options and scholarships. 
  It felt incredibly unfair. 
  And it revealed a deeper truth: 
  The SAT isn’t about working harder. It’s about working with the right system. 
  In Predictable SAT Results Using AI, you’ll learn how to replace guesswork with a clear, structured approach that combines proven learning science with the power of AI. 
  Inside, you’ll discover: 
  ✔ How to identify your child’s highest-impact weaknesses 
  ✔ A simple system to analyze mistakes and improve faster 
  ✔ AI prompts you can use immediately for targeted practice 
  ✔ A clear method to track progress with confidence 
  Go from confusion → clarity… 
  From guessing → predictable results. 
  Because with the right approach, SAT success is not random.
