Book Description
Billionaire and retired Senator "Colonel" Alan Powers has hired the world's best scientist, Dr. Carver Benton, to create a transporter. However, Benton's unknown, noble intention was far greater. His is to bring a few of our nation's forefathers to the year 2025 so they can see first-hand how their American experiment has turned out. Five of the Constitutional signers, Hamilton, Madison, Morris, Dickinson, and Sherman are amazed at the technological advancements and cultural changes 238 years later! However, they are appalled at the onset of perpetual governmental welfare, trillions in national debt, a lack of respect for citizenship, and dismayed with the socialist values living within the White House. In their views, the republic they penned into existence has eroded. Returning to their own time in 1787, and taking their new experiences with them, they are faced with a decision to answer Benton's charge, 'Clarify and improve the U.S. Constitution'.If they succeed, what will America look like in the year 2025? What if they fail?

Book Description
A devastating, play-by-play account of the federal government's leading role in bringing about today's climate crisis. In 2015, a group of twenty-one young people sued the federal government for violating their constitutional rights by promoting the climate catastrophe, depriving them of life, liberty, and property without due process of law. They Knew offers evidence for their claims, presenting a devastating, play-by-play account of the federal government's role in bringing about today's climate crisis. James Speth, tapped by the plaintiffs as an expert on climate, documents how administrations from Carter to Trump--despite having information about climate change and the connection to fossil fuels--continued aggressive support of a fossil fuel based energy system. What did the federal government know and when did it know it? Speth asks, echoing another famous cover up. What did the federal government do and what did it not do? They Knew (an updated version of the Expert Report Speth prepared for the lawsuit) presents the most compelling indictment yet of the government's role in the climate crisis, showing a forty-year failure to take action. Since Juliana v. United States was filed, the federal government has repeatedly delayed the case. Yet even in legal limbo, it has helped inspire a generation of youthful climate activists.

I guess I always felt even if the world came to an end, McDonald's still would be open. High school sophomore Miranda's disbelief turns to fear in a split second when an asteroid knocks the moon closer to Earth, like "one marble hits another." The result is catastrophic. How can her family prepare for the future when worldwide tsunamis are wiping out the coasts, earthquakes are rocking the continents, and volcanic ash is blocking out the sun? As August turns dark and wintery in northeastern Pennsylvania, Miranda, her two brothers, and their mother retreat to the unexpected safe haven of their sunroom, where they subsist on stockpiled food and limited water in the warmth of a wood-burning stove. Told in a year's worth of journal entries, this heart-pounding story chronicles Miranda's struggle to hold on to the most important resource of all--hope--in an increasingly desperate and unfamiliar world. An extraordinary series debut Susan Beth Pfeffer has written several companion novels to Life As We Knew It, including The Dead and the Gone, This World We Live In, and The Shade of the Moon.
