It is often said that teachers have a front row seat to the future of America, but, as a teacher, Jeremy Adams is alarmed at what he is seeing. In educating our nation’s youngest generation, Adams has noticed an extreme decline in patriotism, a mocking of religion, animosity toward the American values that made us great, and support for political violence. With depression, mental illness and anti-social behaviors increasing among students, Adams is worried that the youngest generation’s radicalism will permanently transform our country forever. In what is a new test that we cannot fail, Adams explains how we can help students led astray, and how we can get them back on course. (Nonfiction)

China and the United States are locked in something of a cold war, but it may intensify in the coming years. Heated disputes over intellectual property, spying, trade, and human rights have animated the debate between the Chinese and American governments, with China moving at top speed to rival the U.S. as the top global superpower. As Chinese foreign policy displays a historic military buildup and hostility towards Taiwan, while overseeing rapid development of technology and an aging population at home, “Danger Zone” analyzes the fraught Sino-American relationship, and how we got to this point in history. With the potential for war described as “frighteningly real,” this book is integral in understanding the threats that exist in the present and future, as the global order and economy hang in the balance.
