A New York Times Bestseller"A moving petition to America that it not look away from the catastrophes at Columbine, Newtown, Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, and, yes, Parkland. It succeeds as an in-depth report about the "generational campaign" in the aftermath of the Parkland tragedy, a bi-partisan movement advocating serious gun reform." -- Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionThe acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Columbine offers an intimate, deeply moving account of the extraordinary teenage survivors who became activists and pushed back against the NRA and feckless Congressional leaders--inspiring millions of Americans to join their grassroots #neveragain movement.Nineteen years ago, Dave Cullen was among the first to arrive at Columbine High, even before most of the SWAT teams went in. While writing his acclaimed account of the tragedy, he suffered two bouts of secondary PTSD. He covered all the later tragedies from a distance, working with a cadre of experts cultivated from academia and the FBI, but swore he would never return to the scene of a ghastly crime.But in March 2018, Cullen went to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School because something radically different was happening. In nearly twenty years witnessing the mass shootings epidemic escalate, he was stunned and awed by the courage, anger, and conviction of the high school's students. Refusing to allow adults and the media to shape their story, these remarkable adolescents took control, using their grief as a catalyst for change, transforming tragedy into a movement of astonishing hope that has galvanized a nation.Cullen unfolds the story of Parkland through the voices of key participants whose diverse personalities and outlooks comprise every facet of the movement. Instead of taking us into the mind of the killer, he takes us into the hearts of the Douglas students as they cope with the common concerns of high school students everywhere--awaiting college acceptance letters, studying for mid-term exams, competing against their athletic rivals, putting together the yearbook, staging the musical Spring Awakening, enjoying prom and graduation--while moving forward from a horrific event that has altered them forever.Deeply researched and beautifully told, Parkland is an in-depth examination of this pivotal moment in American culture--and an up-close portrait that reveals what these extraordinary young people are like. As it celebrates the passion of these astonishing students who are making history, this spellbinding book is an inspiring call to action for lasting change.

"Excellent...amazing how much still comes as a surprise." --New York Times Book Review"Like Capote's In Cold Blood, this tour de force gets below the who and the what of a horrifying incident to lay bare the devastating why." --People"A staggering work of journalism." Washington PostTen years in the works, a masterpiece of reportage, this is the definitive account of the Columbine massacre, its aftermath, and its significance, from the acclaimed journalist who followed the story from the outset. In his accounting of the Columbine Massacre, Dave Cullen takes readers from the origins of the event to its terrible culmination and aftermath, drawing on nine years of painstaking journalistic research. Over the course of this gripping narrative, the author approaches his subjects with unrivaled care and insight: debunking myths, supplying crucial missing details, and getting at the heart of Columbine's significance. What emerges is an indelible portrait of the killers, the victims, and the community that suffered one of the greatest-- and most socially and historically important-- shooting tragedies of the 20th century.
What really happened on April 20, 1999? The horror of the Columbine school shooting left an indelible stamp on the American psyche. In remembrance of the 25th anniversary comes a new edition of this journalistic masterpiece: the definitive account of the Columbine massacre, its aftermath, and its significance, from the acclaimed journalist who followed the story from the outset. Columbine has become the template for nearly two decades of "spectacle murders." But it is a false script, seized upon by a generation of new killers. In the wake of New- town, Parkland, and Pulse, the imperative to understand the crime that sparked this plague grows more urgent every year. Dave Cullen was one of the first reporters on the scene, and he spent ten years on this book. With a keen investigative eye and psychological acumen, he draws on mountains of evidence, insight from the world's leading forensic psychologists, and the killers' own words and drawings--several of which are reproduced in the appendix. Cullen paints raw portraits of two polar-opposite killers, which contrast starkly with the flashes of resilience and redemption among the survivors.

Dave doesn't get out much. He's never been popular at parties, or first picked in dodge ball. One thing Dave has always been, though, is a bad roommate. It's not that he leaves dirty dishes out and forgets to flush (though let's face it, he does), it's more about how he manages to always screw things up. For instance, blowing people up. It's not intentional, usually, but Dave's issue is that he's a demon, and not a particularly successful one. Dave is a play in one act for a cast of five that takes place in the middle of a bedroom renovation. A simple attempt at a harmless joke takes an unexpected turn when the couple unwittingly summon Dave. The story follows the three through the ensuing week as the work to finish the bedroom, plan a party, and no get blown up.

Dave sitter hemma i sin andrahandslägenhet i Uppsala och tycker lite synd om sig själv. Han har inget jobb, känner knappt någon och är olyckligt kär i Amy. Amy var kär i Dave, men har gjort det ganska tydligt för honom att hon inte längre är intresserad. I handen har han ett fint diplom som intygar att han precis tagit sig igenom tre år på konstskola, men vars tillfälliga användningsområde är att agera samlingsplats för en imponerande mängd ludd han lyckats skopa upp ur naveln. Dave drömmer om en karriär på reklambyrå, och ska man tro omdömena han fått framstår han dessutom som relativt kompetent även om framtida arbetsgivare inte direkt står på kö med erbjudanden om att anställa honom. Men plötsligt, när livet inte kan bli deppigare än det redan är, plingar det på dörren. I trapphuset står en gänglig kille i svettiga arbetskläder som lätt nonchalant står lutad mot räcket. Han introducerar sig som Chris, halar upp en ljummen öl från en påse han håller i handen, och frågar om han får komma in. Dave vet inte om det där och då, men detta besök ska visa sig vara början till vad som kommer bli de roligaste och mest händelserika åren i hans liv.

If it doesn't work out, he'll just leave, find a better place to stay. But it's not that simple.Outside the gates of the orphanage, the nighttime streets of Harlem buzz with jazz musicians and swindlers; exclusive parties and mystifying strangers. Inside, another world unfolds, thick with rare friendships and bitter enemies. Perhaps somewhere, among it all, Dave can find a place that feels like home.
Josh is the best collector on the block. And now he has something new to collect - rocks! Soon Josh and his best friend, Amy, have so many rocks they need to organize their collection. But how? Young collectors will be fascinated by all there is to know about rocks and about classifying - sorting and organizing objects by attributes like color, shape, or size. Grab your rock hammer and join the fun with this entertaining story by Stuart J. Murphy and lively art by Cat Bowman Smith.
If your name is Dave Gorman, then all of these things could be true. Fuelled by a lust for life and a desperate desire to do anything except what he's supposed to be doing (writing that novel and growing up), Dave falls under the spell of an obscure internet word game - Googlewhacking.
He played many games he'd never heard of before - Khet, Kubb, Tikal or Smite anyone?He played board games and physical games.
