Book excerpt: “Anyway, I feel like the longer we sit here the worse our odds get. Let’s just do it and see what happens.” No one would ever be able to have a summer like this again, although they didn’t know that at the time. It’s the middle of the 1980s, and the internet, cell phones, cable TV, all of it was about to change the world, but it hadn’t just yet. They’re saying goodbye to more than just their childhood and taking one last run through the neighborhood in this story about growing up, told by a kid who was there at just the right age. If you’re old enough to remember you might find some familiar territory. If you’re too young to have been there, this is the stuff your parents don’t want to tell you about. Up until now, summers has been pretty carefree for Pete and his friends. This one was not. He has an uncool nickname, his best friend Ricky lives next door with a stepmom who has serious anger issues, and they both have a problem with a former friend and current neighborhood juvenile delinquent, James Barlow. When James starts focusing his aggression on them, it sets off a chain of events that winds through baseball games, the longest and possibly strangest Fourth of July ever, an epic game of Kick the Can, trespassing everywhere, and generally causing minor chaos across the neighborhood. At the same time, Pete is learning that the adult world that he and his friends (and enemies) are moving towards isn't as simple as what he knows. Soon they’re going to be starting high school, and that’s not the only thing that’s going to be changing for them, and everyone else. But before it does, they have a one last chance to fully enjoy the way things were until they have to leave it all behind forever. The first of three parts.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Discover the game-changing theory of the cycles of history and what past generations can teach us about living through times of upheaval—with deep insights into the roles that Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials have to play—now with a new preface by Neil Howe. First comes a High, a period of confident expansion. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion. Then comes an Unraveling, in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis—the Fourth Turning—when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world—and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict what comes next. Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back five hundred years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four twenty-year eras—or “turnings”—that comprise history’s seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth. Illustrating this cycle through a brilliant analysis of the post–World War II period, The Fourth Turning offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for this rendezvous with destiny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GJ's family is an anomaly. Samuel, his uneducated strongman father, respected for his brawn and violent aggression, acts as a conscientious, nurturing single parent, rearing his infant son in the 1950s when men were not their children's primary caregivers. Despite his father's typical Black masculinity, he intuitively understands his son's emerging gay nature as innate. GJ's mother, a child of Black middle-class privilege from the neighboring suburbs, is an absent parent, primarily engaged with living the rooming life, consisting of drink and abandon. GJ's young life progresses, and he is thrust forth into circumstances both familiar and violently surreal, from typical bullying to standing as the principal witness in a murder trial to defend his father. Colorful characters like wild Uncle NapPo, the seemingly unflappable Miss Carrie, and his father's employer, the curious Mr. Blu, inform him of life's complexity. The wide-eyed boy grows into his teens and twenties and is altogether victimized, loved, and enlightened, leading him to experience the full range of gay life. GJ learns the culture and codes of Washington’s insular Black gay bar scene as the teen partner of a man in his thirties. As GJ starts to relish his gay existence, becoming more confident with his gay identity and his family's unconventionality, he continues to question himself, fighting self-doubt and consternation about fitting into Black respectability norms or the mainstream world. GJ's adult existence and early professional life extend into the integrated world of Dupont Circle gay bars and Georgetown professional offices, where he finds the love of his life and soulmate. The One Who Gonna See You Through is a work that bridges the commercial/literary divide. The gay interracial theme here is seldom explored, and the absent mother/loving father configuration brings a different lens to this work. The approach to story in The One Who Gonna See You Through sets the more familiar trope of the angry, Black, homophobic father aside and abandons the more well-trodden storyline of steadfast single Black motherhood. By story's end, GJ recognizes that his father's early and invaluable acceptance of difference laid the foundations for the happiness and realization he has experienced as a gay man throughout life. He resolves within himself that he must finally accept his legitimacy as both a Black man and an upper-middle-class one.

Book excerpt: “Diamonds In The Rough” is the story of Anthony, a boy and manchild whose twisted emotions led to a half century of pain and bad decisions fueled by alcoholism. The misreading of all in front of him accumulated emotional wreckage that got him to concentrate only on the dark of the evening sky and ignore the moon and stars. This is also the story of a reclamation project that enabled him to dig through the apparent rubble of his life to rediscover and appreciate the diamonds he had brushed aside. Gus

Book excerpt: Gang Member tells the story of a man who discovered that the American system of government worked against black men by design. Having been disabled while serving as a machine gunner during the Vietnam era, he finds his benefits denied because the United States Veterans Administration misrepresented his time spent in service, the reason for his disability, and the time the disability occurred. Later, he found himself accused of fathering a child that he knew was not his. The accuser worked for the police department, and he was jailed without the benefit of a DNA test. Feeling that the system was unjust, it was easy to become involved in illegal activities. The book gives a true account of gang activity, an unfair legal system, and a mans battle with himself to discover that it does not matter what happens to you in life, its how you handle it (Grand Master Hee IL Cho). The book shows that we all face challenges in life. It is every mans decision whether he wants to be a good man or not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exciting book will explore how Blockchain (BC) technology has the potential to overcome challenges in the current cyber-physical system (CPS) environment. BC is a timestamp ledger of blocks that is used for storing and sharing data in a distributed manner. BC has attracted attention from practitioners and academics in different disciplines, including law, finance, and computer science, due to its use of distributed structure, immutability and security and privacy. However, applying blockchain in a cyber-physical system (CPS) is not straightforward and involves challenges, including lack of scalability, resource consumption, and delay. This book will provide a comprehensive study on blockchain for CPS. CPS and the existing solutions in CPS and will outline the limitations are presented. The key features of blockchain and its salient features which makes it an attractive solution for CPS are discussed. The fundamental challenges in adopting blockchain for CPS including scalability, delay, and resource consumption are presented and described. Blockchain applications in smart grids, smart vehicles, supply chain; and IoT Data marketplaces are explored. The future research directions to further improve blockchain performance in CPS is also provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about a lot more than just a bunch of kids playing doctor. It may be the most sexually explicit and offensive (to some) book you have ever read. If that is the case, I apologize and assure you that my intent was not to write that kind of a narrative or to offend anyone. I simply wanted to chronicle some things that have happened in my life which, I believe, have happened in the lives of others. I want this book to be a learning experience for the reader; a clarification of sexual experimentation among young people.
