Book Description
About the Book This book predicts a future when the population of the world is near one hundred billion and on the verge of a super science. All life will be at risk if testosterone-driven males are still in charge of the monetary and power resources of the world. In this future world, the world government has passed strict laws that require castration of any male found guilty of any sexual assault or of using violence to commit any crime. Regarding reproduction, only one replacement child per adult is allowed. A replacement child is not mandated, but if one is cloned or otherwise brought into existence, the parent is required to raise and support that child until it reaches the legal age of thirty. Many men are refusing to make a replacement commitment in order to have the freedom to live their lives as they see fit, and scientists are predicting the extinction of the human male (now called a drone) within the next three hundred years. About the Author James B. Dreme is the oldest of seven children. He dropped out of high school during his junior year in order to join the service as the Viet Nam War was first heating up in the spring of 1965. After four years in the Navy, he met the expectations of the church he was a fifth-generation member of and fulfilled a successful two-year mission. After his mission, he got engaged and started school at A.S.U. After that, he graduated from Arizona State University and taught school for a little under a decade. Dreme then got divorced and re-enlisted for two more years in the Navy. He became an aircraft structural mechanic second class petty officer and switched to teaching individual students in their homes until he retired.

Masterful Women
Author: Kirsten E. Wood
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807863777
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Many early-nineteenth-century slaveholders considered themselves "masters" not only over slaves, but also over the institutions of marriage and family. According to many historians, the privilege of mastery was reserved for white males. But as many as one in ten slaveholders--sometimes more--was a widow, and as Kirsten E. Wood demonstrates, slaveholding widows between the American Revolution and the Civil War developed their own version of mastery. Because their husbands' wills and dower law often gave women authority over entire households, widowhood expanded both their domestic mandate and their public profile. They wielded direct power not only over slaves and children but also over white men--particularly sons, overseers, and debtors. After the Revolution, southern white men frequently regarded powerful widows as direct threats to their manhood and thus to the social order. By the antebellum decades, however, these women found support among male slaveholders who resisted the popular claim that all white men were by nature equal, regardless of wealth. Slaveholding widows enjoyed material, legal, and cultural resources to which most other southerners could only aspire. The ways in which they did--and did not--translate those resources into social, political, and economic power shed new light on the evolution of slaveholding society.

Super-heroic spies must unravel a conspiracy—and save the world—in this original Marvel adventure.

Whoever took their blood possesses the key to recreating the formula flowing through Natasha and Bucky’s veins—the formula that enhanced their physiology to superhuman levels. Now, the Black Widow and the Winter Soldier must work together to track down their mysterious enemy—even as their history as lab rats and conditioned agents brutally trained in Russia’s notorious Red Room continues to haunt them . . . Black Widow: Bad Blood is a collaborative novel by Lindsay Smith, Margaret Dunlap, Mikki Kendall, L.L. McKinney, and Taylor Stevens.

Revolution in Our Time: The Black Panther Party’s Promise to the People
Author: Kekla Magoon
Publisher: Candlewick Press
ISBN: 1536223425
Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
A National Book Award Finalist A Coretta Scott King Author Award Honor Book A Michael L. Printz Honor Book A Walter Dean Myers Honor Book With passion and precision, Kekla Magoon relays an essential account of the Black Panthers—as militant revolutionaries and as human rights advocates working to defend and protect their community. In this comprehensive, inspiring, and all-too-relevant history of the Black Panther Party, Kekla Magoon introduces readers to the Panthers’ community activism, grounded in the concept of self-defense, which taught Black Americans how to protect and support themselves in a country that treated them like second-class citizens. For too long the Panthers’ story has been a footnote to the civil rights movement rather than what it was: a revolutionary socialist movement that drew thousands of members—mostly women—and became the target of one of the most sustained repression efforts ever made by the U.S. government against its own citizens. Revolution in Our Time puts the Panthers in the proper context of Black American history, from the first arrival of enslaved people to the Black Lives Matter movement of today. Kekla Magoon’s eye-opening work invites a new generation of readers grappling with injustices in the United States to learn from the Panthers’ history and courage, inspiring them to take their own place in the ongoing fight for justice.
