Synopsis Sixties Radicals, Then and Now by : Ron Chepesiuk

Aroused by gains in civil rights and galvanized by the antiwar movement, radical leaders of the 1960s sought to make revolutionary changes in American society. Partly through their leadership, a generation was awakened by the call for a counterculture. That generation is now responsible for the same social and political structures they so adamantly, and sometimes violently, opposed. How did the sixties affect the counterculture leaders? And what are they doing now? Paul Krassner, Cleveland Sellers, Jane Adams, Dave Dellinger, Bill Ayers, Warren Hinckle, Peter Berg, Noam Chomsky, Tim Leary, Philip Berrigan, Anita Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Erica Huggins, Jim Fouratt, Bernadine Dohrn, Barry Melton, Peter Coyote, and Abbie Hoffman reflect on the seminal events that dominated the sixties and discuss the major issues and problems facing America (and them!) today.

Synopsis Short Stories III by : London J.

Jack London was an American novelist, journalist and social activist. Pioneering the genre of magazine fiction and prototyping science fiction, he became one of the first writers, who gained worldwide fame and a large fortune. "The Game" is a story about a twenty-year-old boxer Joe, who meets his death in the ring. Since London was a sports reporter, he based the novel on his personal observations. In "The Abysmal Brute" story, a successful boxer, who was brought up in a log cabin and knows little of the real world, begins to realize the corrupt practices in the game of boxing. "Love of Life" is a collection of short stories, written mostly during author's “Klondike” period.

Synopsis Facing the Future by : Nuel Belnap

Here is an important new theory of human action, a theory that assumes actions are founded on choices made by agents who face an open future. It is a theory that makes indeterminism not only intelligible but illuminating. Tools from philosophy of language and philosophical logic help generate a full-scale account of agents "seeing to it that." The authors then proceed to clarify a variety of action-related topics such as determinism vs. indeterminism, imperatives, promises, strategies, joint agency, "could have done otherwise," deontic constructions, and assertions about a not yet settled future.

Synopsis Then, Now, and Always by : Linda Seed

She’s known him since kindergarten, and she’s loved him almost that long. Now that he’s her boss, it’s her last hope that he might finally notice her … Candace Weaver knows why they call it a crush. Her feelings for Evan Bridges have been so powerful for so long that she’s been nearly flattened under the weight of them. When she applies for a job at a Cambria coffeehouse, she doesn’t know whether to be pleased or horrified that he’s the new owner. Evan never noticed Candace in high school, and he’s never given her much thought since then. He’s been too busy having one disastrous relationship after another with every glamorous, sexy woman who’ll have him. Now that he and Candace are working closely together, he’s beginning to see what he’s been missing. Unfortunately, he just might be too late. Then, Now, and Always is the fourth novel in Linda Seed’s Otter Bluff series, but it also can be enjoyed as a stand-alone romance.
