Deep in the mysterious jungles of Central America, in a time when Arthur was long dead, yet before Charlemagne even stirred in the womb, the brilliant and powerful god-king, Eighteen Rabbit, ruled the city of Copan in renaissance splendor. This is his story – a tale of glorious temples and gory sacrifices, strange narcotics and brutal statecraft. It is a story of pride and humility, love and betrayal, devious intrigue and the triumph of the human will. It is a story told by Eighteen Rabbit himself, masterfully teased out of the stone inscriptions he commissioned, as if it happened only yesterday. Thank you,
No matter how you look at it, the United States is in trouble. Endless foreign wars, staggering national debt, disintegrating social safety net, illegal immigration, drugs, corporate crimes, outsourcing, and on and on. Whether you are conservative or liberal, whether you are a tea bagger or an intellectual, it is clear if things dont change, America as we know it will fail. What would you do about it if you had supreme power? What if you were dictator of the United States? What would you fix? How would you fix it? Most important, how would you leave so that the country could return to a constitutionally elected government? This is the fictional record of a dictator who tried to fix America. Some consider her a savior. Others consider her a monster. How did she do? You be the judge.
Who would have thought that a poor peasant boy would rise to become a fierce general, a sun-eyed king, and ultimately a god? Who would have thought that the revenge of a young princess would ultimately save this boy and bring him to the height of power? Yax Kuk Mo was both the product of his time and the maker of his destiny. He leveraged both luck and skill to battle his way across Mesoamerica and found a dynasty that would last for 400 years. He left no writings but his remains - combined with hints and clues across the region - paint a picture of one of the most powerful movers and shakers in pre-Columbian America.
Why do planets spin? How hot is the Sun? What keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth? What are Saturn's rings made of? What's a black hole in space? Now you can discover the answers to these and other fascinating questions about basic astronomy. In Astronomy for Every Kid you'll learn about the constellations using a shoe box planetarium. You'll chart the movement of the stars with nothing but a string, a marker, and a nail. And you'll use a toy magnet to simulate the Earth's protective force field. Each of the 101 experiments is broken down into its purpose, a list of materials, step-by-step instructions, expected results, and an easy to understand explanation. Every activity has been pretested and can be performed safely and inexpensively in the classroom or at home.

What does it mean to leave behind all our electronic gadgets, to get out from behind our desks and computers, and spend a day in the wild? What does it do for our health and mental attitudes to step away from our daily world to experience the world of Nature? We are so very fortunate in the Northwest to have Nature so close that we can enjoy a day now and then from our routines so easily. This book collects the stories of a very wired-in former Microsoft executive, politically active city girl who discovered Nature in her backyard. She wrote her thoughts and feelings in stories which she shared with her many fans over the years and now for the first time, she shares them in publication. Enjoy the read - and then get out there!
