Synopsis Keep Up If You Can by : Bill Sherk

A light-hearted and touching memoir of Bill Sherk’s 30-plus-year career as a Toronto high school history teacher with a creative flair and passion for his work. Bill Sherk taught history to Toronto high school students for more than thirty years. With his dynamic, creative, and occasionally unorthodox teaching style, he instilled in his students a passion for history and learning. Sherk was loved by his students and remained in their memories long after graduation. Keep Up If You Can is a light-hearted and touching memoir that will appeal to anyone who’s had a special teacher impact their life. Fun facts: He learned the names of all his students on the first day of school. He assigned ancient names to his ancient history students. They called him Sherkules (SHERK-yoo-leez). After reading Webster’s Dictionary cover to cover, he encouraged his students to coin new words, and many of these were published in his three dictionaries. Firmly believing in physical activity, he would leap atop his desk and lead his students in an aerobic "Sherkout" to a rock-and-roll beat.

Synopsis A Republic, If You Can Keep It by : Neil Gorsuch

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Justice Neil Gorsuch reflects on his journey to the Supreme Court, the role of the judge under our Constitution, and the vital responsibility of each American to keep our republic strong. As Benjamin Franklin left the Constitutional Convention, he was reportedly asked what kind of government the founders would propose. He replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.” In this book, Justice Neil Gorsuch shares personal reflections, speeches, and essays that focus on the remarkable gift the framers left us in the Constitution. Justice Gorsuch draws on his thirty-year career as a lawyer, teacher, judge, and justice to explore essential aspects our Constitution, its separation of powers, and the liberties it is designed to protect. He discusses the role of the judge in our constitutional order, and why he believes that originalism and textualism are the surest guides to interpreting our nation’s founding documents and protecting our freedoms. He explains, too, the importance of affordable access to the courts in realizing the promise of equal justice under law—while highlighting some of the challenges we face on this front today. Along the way, Justice Gorsuch reveals some of the events that have shaped his life and outlook, from his upbringing in Colorado to his Supreme Court confirmation process. And he emphasizes the pivotal roles of civic education, civil discourse, and mutual respect in maintaining a healthy republic. A Republic, If You Can Keep It offers compelling insights into Justice Gorsuch’s faith in America and its founding documents, his thoughts on our Constitution’s design and the judge’s place within it, and his beliefs about the responsibility each of us shares to sustain our distinctive republic of, by, and for “We the People.”

Synopsis A Republic: If You Can Keep it by : Jim Hollingsworth

At the end of the Constitutional Convention, Ben Franklin was asked by a woman what sort of government the delegates had provided. His answer was "A Republic: If you can keep it". That is a simple, yet profound statement. America has been a successful republic for over two hundred years. Yet, beginning with the New Deal, of Franklin Delano Rosevelt, we have gradually lost the truth of what it means to be a republic. Gradually, and mainly with the work of the Democrats, we have become a collectivist society; we have gradually become, not a republic, but a socialist country, with bigger government and a tendency to government tyranny. Now we are at a crossroads. This next election may well determine if we will remain a constitutional republic or fall down into being no more than a third world banana republic. It is time to retake control of our government, which is a servant of the people, not a master. We need to control our government on the national level; Congress, the President, the Supreme Court. But we also need to take control on the local level; schools, libraries, city councils and county and state governments. It is not too late, but the time is moving quickly. This book explains much of the problem and provides some hope as to how to overcome it. America has been a great nation and can be great again.

Synopsis Keep Me If You Can by : Cheryl Terra

There are three things Nellie Belanger can say for certain: Her final year of university might be a little harder than expected. She’s definitely not spiralling. She clearly just needs to get laid. Which is obviously the only reason she jumps to help out JP Marchand the moment he asks for a favour that involves a weekend getaway, a sexy gondola ride, and oh yeah, being his fake girlfriend for the night. When an impulsive decision (or five) leads to the revelation of a secret (…or five) and Nellie is faced with the consequences of her own actions, her spiral leads her to the one person she’s begun to realize she can always count on. But with JP revealing a secret (or five?) of his own, Nellie’s left wondering three big things: How much does she really know about her best friend’s brother? What does she actually want from him? And most importantly… Why is she like this? -- This is book 3 of the ongoing If You Can series, a series of books following an unapologetically sensual college student on her journey from bed to bed. They feature multiple love interests/spicy partners with no love triangles or cheating. This concludes the current plotline of the series. Keep Me If You Can is not a standalone and is best read after Hold Me If You Can, but a series summary can be found at the beginning of the book for readers who would rather jump into this story first.
