Book Overview

The history of the White House, first completed in 1799, reflects the history of America itself. It was the dream of George Washington to have an elegant "presidential mansion" in the capital city that was named after him. Yet he is the only president who never got to live there. All the rest have made their mark--for better or worse--on the house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Megan Stine explains how the White House came to be and offers young readers intriguing glimpses into the lives of the First Families--from John and Abigail Adams to Barack and Michelle Obama.

Informative

This book gives a LOT of information at a very understandable writing level. A lot is talked about the US's involvement with other nations and, how it also helped the nazi's and other things like that. It's very interesting. Somethings were talked about more than others though, and not completely explained, but for the most part, it's pretty well explained.

Chomsky Lite

Chomsky at his inciteful best! Taken from interview transcripts by David Barsamian, this book reflects the Chomsky you may have heard on the radio or on a cassette. He presents information in a more casual manner than his "written" books. This book is a great introduction and a fast read (I knocked it off while waiting to see a doctor). A great reference work for middle school kids writing social studies papers. Lots of facts,...

Important contribution

Chomsky and I disagree on a lot, but he offers some compelling insight into the organizations that usurp modern democracy. Organizations such as the CIA and the media, for example. He also has thoughts about gun control, fundamentalism, and even sports.I'd reccommend it for anyone interested in wanting to know more about the world around them, or about Chomsky's views.
