You probably already know that ants build large ant hills connected by tunnel systems below ground. And you know that ants are so strong that they can lift up to fifty times their own weight—that’s like a human carrying a full-grown cow! But did you know that some ant species are feared bloodthirsty warriors, others are head-hunters, and yet other ones are skilled leaf cutters, weavers, or aphid keepers? And there are also others that love raiding the nests of enemy ants and stealing anything they find there. The ant world doesn’t seem so different compared to the human world, does it? Let’s take a closer look to see how ant species are different (from each other and from us!) and how we can actually relate to these tiny but diligent creatures.

From award-winning author Dagmar Geisler, in collaboration with illustrator Nikolai Renger, a new series for elementary school students about social-emotional learning and physical and mental health. In recent years, children of all ages—just like many adults!—from all over the world have had to shift the way they learn and work. They’ve adapted to sitting in front of their computers or tablets instead of in a physical class with their peers. Some have thrived in this environment, while others struggle to stay focused and at their desks. In Using the Internet for Virtual School, best friends Madison and Luke quickly learn all about what can go wrong if they’re not prepared for their virtual lessons when Luke’s older brother, Tim, experiences a stressful online presentation. The laptop dies, his video files won’t load, the cat won’t get out of the way, and possibly worst of all, he didn’t realize an embarrassing (babyish!) poster was hanging on the wall behind him the whole time! This sours Tim’s mood for the foreseeable future, and Madison and Luke decide to make a list of the Do’s and Don’ts of virtual school and presentations so they don’t replicate Tim’s disaster of a day when it comes time for them to join their class online. In this timely book, award-winning author Dagmar Geisler presents tips and tricks—as well as some golden rules—to help primary school students prepare for their digital lessons and presentations. This is a strong conversation-starter for adults and children and is also a practical guide.
The perfect tool to teach children how to handle emotions such as feeling scared, anxious, or worried. What Happens When I'm Scared? provides parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers the opportunity to speak with children about this important topic. What is fear? What does it feel like? Can feelings of fear be passed on to others? And can they return? In What Happens When I’m Scared?, children take turns listing what scares them. They express their concern over the dark, big dogs, heights, spiders, monsters under the bed, bullies, extreme weather, and speaking in front of others. Through discussing what they fear, they begin to understand why certain places, people, or circumstances make them feel nervous, worried, anxious, scared, or even nauseous. They learn about their body’s biological reactions, both physical and mental. And they determine that it’s absolutely okay to be afraid and that everyone, from babies to grandparents, is scared sometimes. In What Happens When I'm Scared, award-winning author and illustrator Dagmar Geisler draws attention to what could be a sensitive subject to some and provides advice for overcoming fear that will be helpful to young readers as well as those who live and work with them daily, like parents, grandparents, teachers, siblings, and caregivers.

The transnationally coordinated response to "Covid-19" witnessed numerous developments reminiscent of the prewar years of the Third Reich, including the suspension of constitutional rights and freedoms, the rollout of draconian legislation, an attempted revolution from above (the "Great Reset"), the censorship of dissent, health surveillance, euthanasia, eugenics, the corruption of science by politics, and the hijacking of conscience. The list goes on. "Never again!" was the rallying cry after 1945, yet never again is now global. How did we get here? Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the Deep State explores the role of Wall Street in promoting the rise of Hitler, funding the Nazi war machine, recruiting and rehabilitating ex-Nazis, and creating a transnational deep state inspired by Nazi methods. Wall Street has long preferred totalitarianism as the regime type most effective in crushing working-class resistance, and as capitalism once more enters a period of acute crisis, the aim is to replace liberal democracy with global technocracy—a novel, biodigital form of totalitarianism whose potential for social control exceeds anything imaginable by Hitler or Stalin.Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the Deep State illustrates how totalitarianism does not spring into existence fully formed. In the case of Nazi Germany, the descent into barbarism took place gradually, over many years. Today, the warning signs from history are flashing red. Unless the global technocratic coup being attempted is put down, we can expect the centralization of power in a New World Order, the return of slavery, the privatization of the global commons, and the transformation of society into a biodigital camp, bringing an end to the rule of law and normalizing the use of eugenics and a systematic mass murder of dissidents.
A detailed examination of the COVID-19 pandemic. Down the COVID-19 Rabbit Hole discusses the widespread misuse of science during the pandemic, the likely origin of COVID-19, the pathophysiology of the disease itself, and the harms associated with the various vaccines that have been produced, particularly those based on the novel mRNA platforms. This book also looks at the widespread failure of the health professions to adequately understand and treat the disease and the consequences of the vaccines, the apparently agenda-driven responses of various governments, and the inability of the legal system to understand the implications for natural and civil rights. As well, Down the COVID-19 Rabbit Hole considers how most of the mainstream media largely became a propaganda tool for reigning governments. The official response to the pandemic has fractured society in ways that most people could not have imagined prior to 2020. Down the COVID-19 Rabbit Hole details these consequences, offers solutions to repair the damages to society, and considers ways to heal those damaged by the experimental vaccines.

In 2000–2001, Michael Jackson sat down with his close friend and spiritual guide, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, to record what turned out to be the most intimate and revealing conversations of his life. It was Michael’s wish to bare his soul and unburden himself to a public that he knew was deeply suspicious of him. The resulting thirty hours are the basis of The Michael Jackson Tapes. There has never been, and never will be, anything like them. In these searingly honest conversations, Michael exposes his emotional pain and profound loneliness, his longing to be loved, and the emptiness of his fame. You discover why he was suspicious of women and how only children provided the innocence for which he so desperately longed. In his own words, he takes us into the jarring moments of his childhood and speaks of the measures he took to try and heal. He divulges how he came to be alienated from his strong religious anchor and describes his views on the nature of faith. Michael brings us into his tortured yet loving relationship with his siblings. He opens up about his father and his yearning for a time when they might finally reconcile. He talks about his most personal friendships and shares with us his terror of growing old. Despite his unprecedented fame and recent death, there remain unanswered questions about his life. The answers, presented here in The Michael Jackson Tapes, will both intrigue and move you. You will be surprised, riveted, and troubled as you peer into the soul of a tragic icon whose life is an American morality tale and whose flame was extinguished much too early.
