|  | | Direct Democracy
Just as technology, science, and medicine have advanced, so too must our government evolve to meet the needs and demands of our time. The “Constitutional Republic” envisioned by our founding fathers 250 years ago is now outdated. Our Constitution remains the bedrock foundation of our nation, but its application needs to be reformed to reflect the realities of today's United States. This book presents a bold vision for Direct Democracy, offering a clear path to reclaim our nation’s future.
US Review of Books:
Perhaps there has never been a more pivotal moment in US history than the one it faces now. In many ways, the country is at an inflection point, its decisions influenced by partisan interests that hinder the government from making meaningful progress. For instance, Jenkins compares the nation’s mounting thirty-five trillion dollar debt as a robbery in “broad daylight,” in which the perpetrators are the politicians that we ourselves have elected. With both sincerity and force, he articulates the immediate need for this to change.

"I once made a promise to myself: if I ever sell more than a million dollars' worth of my own self-published books, I'll write a small book about how I did it. This is that book."
With no formal education in writing or publishing, and while working a full-time job running a construction business, Joseph Jenkins managed to sell more than 3 million dollars' worth of books he authored and self-published. Over the years he reflected on what people should know if they're thinking about self-publishing. Eventually, he boiled his advice down to Top Ten Tips.
Jenkins sprinkles personal anecdotes throughout the book to help illustrate some of his experiences and recommendations. He says he learned the hard way and made all the mistakes you can make self-publishing. This | |  | | Slate Roofs 1926

The Balance Point is a story of a search for something so mysterious that the main character doesn't even know what it is, or how to recognize it if he finds it. It touches on science, mathematics, economics, religion, and spirituality, in a manner that is both illuminating and disturbing.
Based on actual occurrences and factual scientific and environmental information, The Balance Point weaves a compelling adventure story into an ominous tapestry of planetary degradation. Jonathan is reluctantly goaded into satisfying the conditions of his deceased Aunt's cryptic Last Will, sending him on a puzzling journey to perplexing destinations. What he finds is worrisome, yet hopeful: something has gone missing in our collective human consciousness.
The timely message takes a critical subject and handles it in a clever way. This is an uncommonly provocative educational and spiri | |  | | The Compost Toilet Handbook
