In Critical Thinking, Dr. Rogers' purpose is to give readers the skills they need to engage in analytical thought. The point of critical thinking is to be able to think deeply and clearly about important concerns, to formulate sound arguments, and to evaluate the arguments offered by others. To help readers develop the insights and skills they need to be good critical thinkers, Rogers discusses: What Critical is and why it is important The foundational features of critical thinking The cognitive and applied dimensions of analytical thought The basics of logic The role of assumptions in analytical thought The difference between implications and inferences The role of language in critical thinking The importance of research in analytical thought Logical fallacies The differences between critical and non-critical thinkers How to construct a sound argument How to write an argumentative essay and much more... Rogers' book is filled with interesting and sometimes provocative illustrations of contemporary issues where high-level critical thinking is needed. He includes examples of sound and unsound arguments so students can see the difference between good reasoning and bad. Critical Thinking: Understanding the Principles and Processes of Thinking Wellis a book that will help readers think more clearly, read more analytically, write more persuasively, and speak more convincingly.

The 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival is approaching in August of this year, 2019, and there is no better way to learn about that incredible weekend then to go back there. In this new novel by Glenn Eldridge, that's exactly what he does; he takes you back. We are Woodstock is as much a coming of age story as it is the telling of a generation that is preparing to leave the 60s. It's the summer of '69 in up-state New York, Glenn has quit his job and his girlfriend just dumped him, but nothing is going to stop him from going to the Woodstock Festival. Glenn travels with two friends to Yasgur's Farm in Bethel, New York, on the eve of the event. They have no idea that a half-million people will attend or that Governor Rockefeller will declare the farm a disaster area. The weather will also not co-operate, but one of the thing that will shine this weekend, besides meeting a couple of musical artists, is the appearance of Gail, a free-spirited flower child, who will become Glenn's new love interest. The concert, held at an Aquarian Exposition, is filled with a who's who of artists that represent the music of this hippie generation. You will learn about the performances, some behind the scene shenanigans, and the future of some of the stars. From Richie Havens to Jimi Hendrix, you will even be there, to hear Arlo Guthrie's famous announcement. Through the pages of this historical fiction novel, you will be at the Woodstock Festival: 3 Days of Peace & Music. Did I mention there is also sex, drugs and rock & roll? Only one thing is sure . . . you will be on the grounds of the greatest concert ever.

Hello fellow Americans My name is Glenn, and I am founder of the Occupy Obamacare SuperPAC...and own an insurance brokerage firm in Maryland. As an insurance broker, I became very interested in promoting the benefits of federal health reform. I have seen the effects of high premiums first hand, and wanted positive change in this important area. Becoming more familiar with the contents of the law, combined with my understanding of the health care system, helped me realize how harmful some of the effects would be, and I had a change of heart. ObamaCare is more destructive to our health and incomes than is being reported to the public and, if you knew what I know, you would do what you could to get it changed for the better. The way to change it is to offer a better alternative. Staying the same isn't good, either. So many of us suffer and die due to the lack of affordable healthcare and health insurance. It truly is a problem that must be fixed. Fortunately, it can be: o) The better alternative...one that strikes an agreeable middle ground...is in the pages of "Passing Obamacare". It is our responsibility, as Americans and as wage earners, to use our voice, and our vote, to make our country better. It isn't going to happen without us. Writing this book is my attempt to add my voice, and to do something to protect our health and future financial capabilities. It's also a serious attempt at good humor If you're into laughing until it hurts...THIS is the book for you: o) This effort is not about idealogy...they don't ask your party affiliation on your tax return. It's about money, and caring for you and your loved ones when you get sick. That's important to all of us, right or left. Thank you for reading, for purchasing the book (if I'm so blessed), and for learning. Glenn Troy Morton Author

He makes the case that Jesus Christ is the way back to our original value, purpose and destiny.Glenn Repple, Founder and President of G.A. Repple & Company (a national broker dealer and securities firm with 46+ local offices and clients across all 50 states), sets out to encourage, uplift and challenge us with this ultimate "Fraud Fighter" - helping us understand our identity in Christ and right standing with God in Christ Jesus.

Sister Leonora Brunetto lives and works in Brazil's state of Mato Grosso. In 1978, rainforest covered the region. Today, cattle pastures stretch to the horizon, their unshaded grass rippling with heatwaves. Ranches of tens of thousands of acres benefit single families who have no title to the land. Nearby, scores of families camp in ramshackle huts, awaiting the land they are entitled to. but may not get until the land is dead.With Brazil's federal government all but nonexistent there, the "Law of the .38" rules. Wealthy squatters do not hesitate to use violence to defend their illegal holdings. Slavery is so common that the enslaved accept it as part of life. Distant forest fires turn the sky pink, and local brush fires threaten towns and encampments. Courts are unreliable, and police are often pistoleiros available for hire.Sr. Leonora has received innumerable death threats, and pistoleiros have hounded her, broken into her home, and murdered people she works with. She does not believe that God will stop the bullets when they come for her. God has given us a perfect world, she says, and that's all he's going to do for any- body. It's up to us to take care of the world he gave us.This book is based on an article by Glenn Alan Cheney published in Harper's Magazine. That article appears here in Portuguese translation.
