REVIEWS from 'GAME ON BOYS' SERIES from Amazon readers This is the most amazing series I have ever read I love how you put so much detail in it My son is dyslexic and is not a fan of reading but his English teacher told him to try to read more at home. He's a fan of video games so I thought this one would be a good start and he really enjoyed it This was a good book. I liked it a lot and hope to read more of your excellent books. Stay the awesomest author ever Had my Grandson in stitches. He couldn't put it down. Even at bed time and lights out he sat reading this book by torch light, great story easy for them to read and great fun to read to the children. Lots of fun and great Christmas gift. Ideal read for those younger boys who need more challenging reading books I love the Game on Boys series. I love this book. It made me laugh out loud. I am glad that Kate Cullen added a girl character Elly, because girls love to play video games too. Game on Boys 3 was a great story that is a quick and easy read. My 11yr old son loves these books and number 3 is as good as the first one. Funny story that he can relate to and has a good moral lesson for kids. Games on Boys 1 is a fun 92 page 21 chapter book that kids 9 to 12 will like. It is the first in a six book series. It is a fun book with witty writing and drawings that will spark their interest and make them laugh. It contains humorous thing like bad words such as butt and bum, boys picking on girls and girls doing the same to boys, school and home adventures, many jokes, and whacky illustrations.

Hardback. Condición: Fair. In the world that created the Bible, there were no female scholars and theologians, yet in the past four decades, owing to such stunning discoveries as the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi texts, as well as advances in historical understanding and the rise of feminism, a generation of scholars has found new ways to interpret the Scriptures and the societies that created them -- exploring avenues traditionally ignored by male-dominated religious study. Surveying the new scholarship and the personalities of those who have created it, The Word According to Eve not only explores afresh the history of our religions but offers exciting new challenges to our sense of worship. …

Hardback. Condición: Good. A New York Times Bestseller "A moving petition to America that it not look away from the catastrophes at Columbine, Newtown, Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, and, yes, Parkland. It succeeds as an in-depth report about the "generational campaign" in the aftermath of the Parkland tragedy, a bi-partisan movement advocating serious gun reform." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution The acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Columbine offers an intimate, deeply moving account of the extraordinary teenage survivors who became activists and pushed back against the NRA and feckless Congressional leaders--inspiring millions of Americans to join their grassroots #neveragain movement. Nineteen years ago, Dave Cullen was among the first to arrive at Columbine High, even before most of the SWAT teams went in. While writing his acclaimed account of the tragedy, he suffered two bouts of secondary PTSD. He covered all the later tragedies from a distance, working with a cadre of experts cultivated from academia and the FBI, but swore he would never return to the scene of a ghastly crime. But in March 2018, Cullen went to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School because something radically different was happening. In nearly twenty years witnessing the mass shootings epidemic escalate, he was stunned and awed by the courage, anger, and conviction of the high school's students. Refusing to allow adults and the media to shape their story, these remarkable adolescents took control, using their grief as a catalyst for change, transforming tragedy into a movement of astonishing hope that has galvanized a nation. Cullen unfolds the story of Parkland through the voices of key participants whose diverse personalities and outlooks comprise every facet of the movement. Instead of taking us into the mind of the killer, he takes us into the hearts of the Douglas students as they cope with the common concerns of high school students everywhere--awaiting college acceptance letters, studying for mid-term exams, competing against their athletic rivals, putting together the yearbook, staging the musical Spring Awakening, enjoying prom and graduation--while moving forward from a horrific event that has altered them forever. Deeply researched and beautifully told, Parkland is an in-depth examination of this pivotal moment in American culture--and an up-close portrait that reveals what these extraordinary young people are like. As it celebrates the passion of these astonishing students who are making history, this spellbinding book is an inspiring call to action for lasting change.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. "Cullen's strength comes from his understanding of how the different strands of American society intertwine in imaginative, unpredictable ways . The shape and vitality of pop culture's next era will depend, at least in part, on commentators like Cullen." --Washington Post Book World "A thoroughly engaging look at American culture . Cullen's articulate prose is spiced with wicked wit and he loves a good story . Demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of complex cultural forces." --Publishers Weekly "Reflecting both the strengths and weaknesses of an unusually dynamic area of historical scholarship, The Art of Democracy is one of the best surveys of the history of American popular culture." --Journal of American History "An exceptionally well-written and engrossing introduction to the nonelitist art forms of American popular culture . Highly recommended." --Library Journal, starred review "Should be kept on hand to restore our faith in the things that matter to us." --American Studies Popular culture has been a powerful force in the United States, resonating within the society as a whole and at the same time connecting disparate and even hostile constituencies. The novels of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the theater and minstrel shows of the mid-19th century, movies and the introduction of television and computers in the 20th century are the building blocks that Jim Cullen uses to show how unique and vibrant cultural forms overcame initial resistance and enabled historically marginalized groups to gain access to the fruits of society and recognition from the mainstream. This updated edition contains a new preface and final chapter which traces the history of contemporary computing from its World War II origins as a military tool to its widespread use in the late 20th century as a tool for the masses. Cullen shows how the computer is reshaping popular culture, and how that culture retains its capacity to surprise and disturb. The highly acclaimed first edition of The Art of Democracy won the 1996 Ray and Pat Brown Award for "Best Book," presented by the Popular Culture Association.…
