Poverty, by America
The United States, the richest country on earth, has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. Why? Why does this land of plenty allow one in every eight of its children to go without basic necessities, permit scores of its citizens to live and die on the streets, and authorize its corporations to pay poverty wages?

Other Minds
The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life

Essays on the Art and Principles of Ten Films
This volume of essays examines 10 films, with a focus on discerning the possible, the unlikely, and the purely science fictional.

Have you ever actually beaten #Contra?
If so (or even if not 🤷♂️), #TheVideoGameLibrary recently catalogued this rare #ChooseYourOwnAdventure novel.
It was published by Konami back in 1988, and follows an original story with characters Bill and Lance.
