    When it comes to spotting political abuses and covert conspiracies designed to strip Americans of their rights and freedoms, no one is more vigilant than #1 New York Times bestselling authors Dick Morris and Eileen McGann (Screwed!, Revolt!, Fleeced, Outrage). In their latest call-to-arms, Here Come the Black Helicopters!, Morris and McGann expose the most potent threat to date to our cherished way of life: the brazen and treacherous Liberal plan to circumvent our democratic processes by putting ultimate governing power in the hands of unaccountable international organizations. Filled with shocking, incontrovertible evidence as well as a concrete action plan, Here Come the Black Helicopters! is an essential read that will open the public’s eyes to the catastrophe that will surely occur if we allow our misguided politicians to hand the reins of government over to a devious and frighteningly inept United Nations.

    The story of these beloved bricks and the people who built an empire with them.   From its inception in the early 1930s right up until today, the LEGO Group’s history is as colorful as the toys it makes. Few other playthings share the LEGO brand’s creative spirit, educational benefits, resilience, quality, and universal appeal. This history charts the birth of the LEGO Group from the workshop of a Danish carpenter and its steady growth as a small, family-run toy manufacturer to its current position as a market-leading, award-winning brand. The company’s growing catalogue of products—including the earliest wooden toys, plastic bricks, play themes and other building systems such as DUPLO, Technic, and MINDSTORMS—are chronicled in detail, alongside the manufacturing process, LEGOLAND parks, licensed toys, and computer games.   Learn all about how LEGO pulled itself out of an economic crisis and embraced technology to make building blocks relevant to twenty-first century children, and discover the vibrant fan community of kids and adults whose conventions, websites, and artwork keep the LEGO spirit alive. Building a History will have you reminiscing about old Classic Space sets, rummaging through the attic for forgotten minifigure friends, and playing with whatever LEGO bricks you can get your hands on (even if it means sharing with your kids).

    This Must Be the Place explores how music can make cities better. 
     
     
     
    This Must Be the Place introduces and examines music's relationship to cities. Not the influence cities have on music, but the powerful impact music can have on how cities are developed, built, managed, and governed. 
     
     
     
    Told in an accessible way through personal stories from cities around the world—including London, Melbourne, Nashville, Austin, and Zurich—This Must Be the Place takes a truly global perspective on the ways music is integral to everyday life but neglected in public policy. 
     
     
     
    Arguing for the transformative role of artists and musicians in a post-pandemic world, This Must Be The Place not only examines the powerful impact music can have on our cities, but also serves as a how-to guide and toolkit for music-lovers, artists, and activists everywhere to begin the process of reinventing the communities they live in.

    Did you know that the biggest territorial expansion in ancient Rome took place during the reign of its first emperor, who also ruled the longest out of all of the rulers prior to the fall of the Western Roman Empire? 
    The Roman Empire reached its zenith within the first two centuries of the fall of the Roman Republic, expanding its territory and spreading its influence well beyond the borders of Europe. During that time, a sort of global peace was achieved, which historians call the Pax Romana. But what exactly is the Pax Romana, and how does one delve into this huge, ever-expanding subject? 
    Like many other segments of Roman history, the Pax Romana is riddled with murky areas, contradictory information from contemporary sources, and fascinating archaeological finds. In this book, you’ll discover what made Rome tick during those roughly two hundred years of relative peace. 
    Throughout the pages of this tome, you’ll get brief glimpses of the reigns of many emperors who made the Pax Romana into what it was. Discover the Pax Romana’s long-term effects and how it managed to cement the Roman Empire as the go-to empire for many later civilizations to try and emulate. 
    Among other things, you’ll gain new knowledge on the following facts:How the empire evolved from the former republic and who the men were that brought about the changes What made the reign of each emperor uniqueWho the best emperors during the Pax Romana were, and which ones were considered the worstWhat role the provinces and territorial expansion played in the growth and development of the empireHow the imperial Romans were stratifiedWhat societal changes came about with the abolition of the republic and the return to a monarchic model
