Yankee Wake Up (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

What does Noah's flood have to do with the War in Iraq? Is Harry Potter a Libertarian? Why are we still fighting the War of 1812? Is drug prohibition the modern equivalent of the Puritanical outlawing of Christmas? How is the income tax like ghosts and goblins? Is Dora the Explorer a Communist? And more about guns, transfats, the environment, and education. These essays blend Yankee history, humor, ingenuity, and ideology to examine today's hot topics. Each one of these essays will give you something unique to think about and talk about with others. Together, they are a fresh way of looking at life, a way whose roots are almost as old as humanity itself.
