Emma Johannsen has made history in the Citizens' Council: the wealth of the top one per cent is being socialised and now benefits the community. But this is still not enough to thwart the climate catastrophe; a whole series of important species' conservation projects are to be cancelled. While a small group of formerly super-rich people would prefer to get rid of Emma altogether, she gets caught in the crosshairs of a completely different group––one that has been protecting justice in the background for thousands of years. Who are Emma's true allies? And will they succeed in making the world a better place?
Emma has been married to Sam for less than two years when, suddenly and devastatingly, she finds herself left with the sole responsibility for their little twins, Millie and Joel, who are just eleven weeks old. Her church family provides practical help, and a long-time Christian friend offers support and encouragement. But Emma struggles to trust in God’s goodness as she tries to rebuild her life and provide Millie and Joel with the care they need. A chance encounter with a former sweetheart, Nick, reminds Emma of an old anger and another heartbreak that she had tried to forget. To her surprise, Nick begins to help Emma and the twins occasionally, and she finds herself wondering whether there could be any chance that he has changed his ways. But how can she trust a man who has hurt her so badly in the past? Imperfect communication and the inevitable misjudgments of the human heart cause complications, but when Emma’s brother takes a hand in proceedings, there are unexpected developments that change everything.

A revolutionary method for electing players to the Baseball Hall of Fame from Sports Illustrated writer Jay Jaffe, using his popular and proprietary âJAWSâ ranking system. The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, tucked away in upstate New York in a small town called Cooperstown, is far from any major media market or big league stadium. Yet no sports hall of fameâs membership is so hallowed, nor its qualifications so debated, nor its voting process so dissected. Since its founding in 1936, the Hall of Fameâs standards for election have been nebulous, and its selection processes arcane, resulting in confusion among voters, not to mention mistakes in who has been reco...

New electronic technologies are "dumbing down" America. Pop culture creates violent kids with short attention spans. The decline of the print media has made adults politically apathetic. Communicating by computer isolates us and erodes our civic life. The internet, MTV, live cable talk shows, and other multimedia are corroding our society. . . right? Wrong!! retorts Jon Katz. In his brilliant "take no prisoners" polemic, he explains that if you believe any of the above, you've been swallowing the propaganda expounded by the powers that be, including the likes of William Bennett, Bob Dole, Tipper Gore, and Bill Clinton -- all of whom are keeping us ignorant of the real problems. This cutting-edge book -- as useful to media-phobes as it is to Webheads -- brings a much needed voice of reason and clarity to the debate over technology's impact on society. It will make its readers rethink everything they've ever been told or read about the interaction between technology, media, and culture.
