Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Squeezed between the Boomers who snagged the good jobs and the Millennials who got the participation trophies, Generation X has always been the "forgotten" middle child of history.In this authentic and unpolished memoir, David R. Broadie takes you back to the heart of the 1970s and 80s-an era defined by latchkey independence, the smell of mixtapes, and the quiet understanding that the world wasn't going to hand you anything. From a small-town Iowa playground where pickup basketball teams were divided by "intact" vs. "divorced" families, Broadie explores the grit and sarcasm forged in a generation that grew up mostly analog.What's Inside: The Defining Moments: Relive the high-stakes tension of the Cold War, the national euphoria of the "Miracle on Ice," and the shattering tragedy of the Challenger disaster.The Cultural Revolution: From the neon explosion of MTV and the synth-heavy riffs of Van Halen to the raw, flannel-clad angst of Nirvana, see how the soundtrack of a generation evolved.Political Shifts: Witness the rise of Reagan's "Morning in America," the "giant sucking sound" of Ross Perot's warnings, and the digital transition from dial-up screeches to the dot-com bubble.A Personal Journey: Follow one man's path through sports triumphs with the Redskins, the heartbreak of the farm crisis, and the profound realization that family-and grandparents-are the glue that holds the map together.Why It Matters NowWe are the generation that bridged the gap between the rotary phone and the smartphone. Growing Up X isn't just about "back in my day" nostalgia; it's about remembering the independence, self-reliance, and resilience that shaped us-so we don't lose those values in an increasingly digital, polarized world.Pull up a chair, grab a cold one, and go back to the arcades and the Friday night lights. This is the real story of Gen X. No turning back now. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. History tells us Theodore Roosevelt was a force of nature. It doesn't tell us about the time nature almost broke him.In 1893, the future President published The Wilderness Hunter, including a chilling, factual account of a "goblin-beast" that stalked a trapper named Bauman. Historians dismiss it as a campfire tale.They are wrong.Dakota Territory, 1886. Two years after the death of his wife, a grief-hardened Theodore Roosevelt is serving as a Deputy Sheriff in the badlands. When a prospector is found with his neck wrung like a chicken and his camp destroyed by a beast walking on two legs, Roosevelt sees a challenge. He organizes an expedition into the unmapped, suffocating silence of the Wisdom Pass to kill the creature and restore order to the frontier.But the thing waiting in the black timber is not a bear.It doesn't just kill; it dismantles. It doesn't just roar; it mimics the voices of the dead. And it isn't protecting territory-it is protecting a secret that could shatter the scientific world.Stranded in a box canyon with a broken guide, a fatalistic scout, and an arrogant scientist, Roosevelt is stripped of his wealth, his station, and his weapons. As the hunter becomes the prey, the future President must shed his civilization and become something primal to survive.Based on the real writings of Theodore Roosevelt, The Wisdom Pass is a terrifying historical thriller where The Revenant meets Predator.
