Summary

Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic by David Frum: Conversation Starters
 
In “Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic”, author David Frum explains why he believes President Trump is threatening our most valuable institutions, and why even the most demanding media is not acknowledging it. Frum unravels the ways in which Trump and his administration are quietly but steadily –and maybe irrevocably- hurting the principles and accepted practices of our democracy. While he and his family become wealthier, the government falls into the hands of the businessmen and the generals with whom he has surrounded himself.  
 
A New York Times bestseller, the book has been defined as an essential piece by Stephen Schmidt, the public affairs strategist who worked for John Mccain, George W. Bush and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    “Hendrickson takes readers on a magical journey where they learn how to construct a personal Book of Shadows filled with ancestral wisdom.” —Theresa Reed, author of Twist Your Fate   Most of us know our immediate family and maybe even a generation or two beyond, but few of us are attuned to those who lived earlier. Many of us have forgotten how to keep our own stories alive. This is where the ancestors come in and where this book begins.Ancestral Grimoire is a guide to reconnecting with your ancestors. It will show you how to access their unique wisdom—their magic!—and create your own personal ancestral grimoire, a spell book or Book of Shadows, unique to you and your heritage. Through divination, intuition, and sometimes a little luck, you will learn the magic of each ancestor and how you can use their gifts to make your life richer and more fulfilling. As you go through this book, you’ll save your ancestral work in a journal or loose-leaf binder that will become the place to store the stories, spells, rituals, and everyday life, lore, and legend of twelve of your ancestors. At the end of a year, you will hold a personal Book of Shadows with every bit of ancestral knowledge within its pages unique to you. No two will ever be alike. In an age when family storytelling has been lost, you will have created a legacy—and a life—that the ancestors could only dream of.

    This book will take you on a  rollicking ride through the foreclosure explosion starting in 2008 and continuing through the present time.  Alternately hilarious, poignant, tragic, and mysterious, the story introduces real-life Doppelgangers and the original MERS virus.  Told as he experienced it by the litigator known as the "Foreclosure Destroyer," who exposed the Bankers' practice of Robosigning.  He leads you to the inner sanctum and demonstrates with crystal clarity how truly nefarious the big banks are.The author irreverently recounts his personal experiences, and those of other lawyers for the 99%  which, when exposed, led to the government’s investigations of corrupt bank practices in foreclosures across the nation.   Included are transcripts of trials, witness statements, and whistleblower affidavits. So too in this book the reader will find shocking and  detailed evidence of criminal wrongdoing by Bank of America and several other banks; Mr. Trent explores the underpinnings of the woefully inadequate punishment of the so-called institutions and their principals and what can be done about it.  The author asserts that banks are not too big to fail and bankers are not too big to jail.From front to back this book analyzes a haunting mystery, the solution to which will engender outrage in virtually all who learn it. Inquiring minds, indeed, want to know . . . why IS it that the banks use fake evidence in court as a standard practice?This book answers that question and many others.  It will make you laugh. It may make you cry.  Hang on and enjoy the ride.

    A Question of Choice

    A memoir filled with “valuable, passionate insights” from the lawyer who argued the landmark Roe v. Wade case to the Supreme Court (Kirkus Reviews).   More than 40 years ago, the highest court in the land handed down a decision that would forever alter the lives of women throughout the United States. Roe v. Wade became the seminal lawsuit that gave American women the legal right to abortion.   Weddington, just 27 years old in 1973, became a key figure in the reproductive rights movement when she took on the case. Here she recounts her remarkable story, from her personal experience with abortion and the workforce discrimination she faced in her early career to the judicial proceedings and long journey she has undertaken in fighting for women’s rights since.   As divisive as ever, the famous decision is continually threatened by organized pro-life groups. Weddington compels “those who are willing to share the responsibility of protecting choice,” to follow her plan of action in supporting the legal rights of women. A Question of Choice is an “eloquent reminder of what Roe truly means—that our most private decisions can be made behind the closed doors of our homes, with our families, and in private conversations with our hearts” (Former President Bill Clinton).

    Code IT Primary Programming Series 
    Basic computer coding is now among the most important skills a child can have for their future. There are many programming languages designed specifically for children to begin their studies, but the Scratch programming language, already recognised in schools around the world, is widely considered as the ideal place to begin programming in early education.  
     The highly successful Code-It series is a comprehensive guide to teaching Scratch to children in a classroom setting. It is designed for the UK-based KS2 curriculum but can easily be used to supplement other programming courses for children between the ages of 7 and 11.   
     There are four pupil workbooks designed to work in conjunction with the Code-It teacher handbook. They provide structure and resources for the children, including optional homework activities to extend to learning outside the classroom.  
    Workbook 4 explains how to think, program and debug exciting programming projects such as  Times Tables Game, Perimeter, Clock, Cartesian Coordinates, Translation, Enlargement & Rotation, Primary Games Maker, Tilt Switch and Chat Bot. It also outlines how to use analytical computational thinking skills of algorithm design, algorithm evaluation, decomposition and generalisation; extend resilience and problem solving through the computational doing skills of converting algorithm into code and debugging; develop pupils' knowledge of sequence, repetition, selection and variable use; and program Lego models using Lego Wedo and Scratch.
