Cliff's Notes
"Judgement"
This is another book in John Sanford's "Prey" series. Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers team up to solve the cold blooded murder of a judge and his two sons.
"Naming"
As a volunteer "nature interpreter" at a botanic garden I experienced first hand the disconnect between the way visitors viewed the world and that of the professional staff. The author does a good job of discussing this and trying to reach some common ground.
"War and Peace
What did Abraham Lincoln mean by A house divided against itself cannot stand"?
Lincoln paraphrased the following passage from the Bible, Matthew 12:25, when he spoke of a house divided:
And Jesus knew their [the Pharisees'] thoughts, and said unto them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand."
Lincoln’s ‘House Divided’ speech teaches important lessons about today’s political polarization, the main point made by this book.
Miami Jones mysteries
Miami Jones is my favorite Florida based private detective. These stories are not only really good crime fiction they also can impart some interesting information such as what goes into making ice for a hockey rink or the running of a fishing tournament.
