Hardback. Zustand: Good. Aiden Nomura likes to open doors, especially using his skills as a hacker to see what?s hidden inside. He just keeps pulling until one cracks open, exposing the flaws. It?s like a game until it isn?t. When a Therapeutic Forgetting Clinic opens in Bern, Switzerland, near Aiden?s boarding school, he knows things are changing. Shortly after, bombs go off within quiet, safe Bern. Then Aiden learns that his cousin Winter has had a mental breakdown. He returns to the US immediately. But back home in Hamilton, Winter?s mental state isn?t the only thing that?s different. The city is becoming even stricter, and an underground movement is growing. Aiden slowly cracks open doors in this new world. But behind those doors are things Aiden doesn?t want to see?things about his society, his city, even his own family. Aiden may be the only one who can fix things before someone else gets hurt.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Brookside Elementary in Norwalk, Connecticut, is preparing for a new school year and another chance to improve its failing scores on the statewide standardized test known as the CMT.

Ten-year-old Hydea is about to start fifth grade with second-grade reading skills. Her friend Marbella is only a little further along.

In Raising the Curve, he offers a nuanced and personal portrait of the students, teachers, and staff who make up the Brookside community, capturing their struggles as well as their pride, resilience, and spirited faith. …

Zustand: Good. Locate nations on the J Curve - left for authoritarian, right for democratic. Then figure out how to force those on the left to open their societies, rather than encouraging them to shut them tighter by further isolating them. The West's isolation of Kim Jong-il's North Korea gives him the cover he needs to extend his brutal regime (the mistake the U.S. made for a long time with Saddam Hussein and Castro); in Saudi Arabia, western governments should encourage manageable change before the country breaks apart; they should help strengthen China's economy so it can further liberalize; they must encourage Israel to decide what kind of country it will be. Filled with imaginative and surprising examples of how to correct outworn political ideas, THE J CURVE points the way for western governments to lead the way to a realistic political balance and a healthier economic future.…
