The seven years of wonder (ages 13-19), or the teen years as they're called, can be the most challenging years of life. It's a time of curiosity, self-awareness and self-discovery. You're at a crossroad. You're stuck in the middle. You're too old to be called a little kid yet too young to be called an adult. As a teen you will have a lot of decisions to make. Some of these decisions you'll make on your own and some you may need a little help with. The decisions you make today will determine your level of success tomorrow. These decisions will probably be based on experiences you've had or lessons you've learned. That's why author, poet and public speaker, C.L. Threatt coined the phrase "Add-a-Lessons." He calls them this because he says that in life you will learn a lot of lessons but he has "added" some that he feels will help you make the best decisions possible. Having raised four teens of his own (and obviously having been one himself), Mr. Threatt is well equipped to help you avoid some of the pitfalls that keep a lot of young people from reaching their full potential. The advice he shares in this book will help any teen navigate the difficult and sometimes confusing road to adulthood.
The idea of investing in the stock market is foreign to a lot of people. Billions of dollars are being exchanged every day and many people aren't taking advantage of it. Some because of fear, some because of misinformation or lack of information and sadly, some because of misunderstanding or a lack of knowledge. There are even some who don't invest because they think they have to have a lot of money, be very smart, or that it's only for a select group of people. Nothing can be further from the truth. My hope is that as you read this book, you will see that it's not too difficult, you don't need an exorbitant amount of money, it's not just for a select group of people and that even a child can understand it. My goal is not to tell you what to invest in but rather to give you a basic understanding of how the stock market works. After reading this book I hope you too will take advantage of investing and teach others how to do the same.

C. L. R. James in Imperial Britain chronicles the life and work of the Trinidadian intellectual and writer C. L. R. James during his first extended stay in Britain, from 1932 to 1938. It reveals the radicalizing effect of this critical period on James's intellectual and political trajectory. During this time, James turned from liberal humanism to revolutionary socialism. Rejecting the "imperial Britishness" he had absorbed growing up in a crown colony in the British West Indies, he became a leading anticolonial activist and Pan-Africanist thinker. Christian Høgsbjerg reconstructs the circumstances and milieus in which James wrote works including his magisterial study The Black Jacobins. First published in 1938, James's examination of the dynamics of anticolonial revolution in Haiti continues to influence scholarship on Atlantic slavery and abolition. Høgsbjerg contends that during the Depression C. L. R. James advanced public understanding of the African diaspora and emerged as one of the most significant and creative revolutionary Marxists in Britain.
