Citizen Hollywood: How the Collaboration between LA and DC Revolutionized American Politics By Timothy Stanley
2014 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 1250032490 | PDF | 27 MB
To most Americans, Hollywood activism consists of self-obsessed movie stars promoting their pet causes, whether defending marijuana legalization or Second Amendment rights. There's some truth in that stereotype, and in this book you'll find the close personal friends of Fidel Castro, the wannabe cowboys, and the ever-ubiquitous Barbra Streisand. But Citizen Hollywood makes a far more serious case--that Hollywood's influence in Washington runs deeper and affects the country's government more than most of us imagine.Celebrity activism exerts a subtle power over the American political process, and that pressure is nothing new. Through money, networking, and image making, the movie industry has shaped the way that politics works for nearly a century. It has helped to forge a culture that is obsessed with celebrity and spectacle.In return, politicians have become part of the fabric of Hollywood society and cater to the wishes of their new-found friends and fund-raisers.Using original archival research and exclusive interviews with stars, directors, producers, and politicians from both parties, Timothy Stanley's Citizen Hollywood shows that the only way to understand the image-obsessed, volatile politics of modern America is to understand the hidden history of Hollywood's influence on Washington.

Josh Howard, "Christian Extremism"
English | ISBN: 0990757854 | 2015 | 192 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
This insightful book is a call to action for Christians to get out of their comfort zones and become "Christian Extremists." A positive form of extremism will "result in a move of God that can transform this world in an incredible way- not through anger, bombs and pain, but through love, commitment, and sacrifice." Compassion and humility shine through this appeal for all Christians to be "either all out or all in" when responding to Jesus's final command to "go and make disciples of all nations."

English | 2009 | pages: 237 | ISBN: 0137153856 | PDF | 1,8 mb
The key scientific discoveries of the 21st century will emerge from the biosciences. These discoveries will impact our lives in ways we can only now begin to imagine. In this book, two of the field's leading experts help us imagine those impacts. Paul and Joyce A. Schoemaker tour the remarkable field of biosciences as it stands today, and preview the directions and innovations that are most likely to emerge in the coming years. They offer a clear, non-technical overview of crucial current developments that are likely to have enormous impact, and address issues ranging from increased human longevity to global warming, bio-warfare to personalized medicine. Along the way, they illuminate each of the exciting technologies and hot-button issues associated with contemporary biotechnology - including stem cells, cloning, probiotics, DNA microarrays, proteomics, gene therapy, and a whole lot more. The Schoemakers identify emerging economic, political, and technical drivers and obstacles that are likely to powerfully impact the way the biosciences progress. Then, drawing on Paul Schoemaker's unsurpassed experience helping global organizations prepare for the future, the authors sketch multiple long-term scenarios for the biosciences - and reveal how they will impact your health, family, career, society, even the Earth itself.
