A sociology professor in New Jersey was exposed last year for telling his students the landings were fake. The podcast kingpin Joe Rogan is among the doubters. Among 9/11 truthers, anti-vaxxers, chemtrailers, flat-Earthers, Holocaust deniers and Sandy Hook conspiracists, the idea that the moon landings were faked isn’t even a source of anger any more – it is just a given fact. Despite the extraordinary volume of evidence (including 382kg of moon rock collected across six missions corroboration from Russia, Japan and China and images from the Nasa Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter showing the tracks made by the astronauts in the moondust), belief in the moon-hoax conspiracy has blossomed since 1969. ![]() ![]() ![]() Taylor provides a frank portrait of Martin Luther King, Jr. ![]() Augustine, Mississippi Freedom Summer, LBJ's Great Society and the Civil Rights Act of 1963, Vietnam and Selma. ![]() PILLAR OF FIRE covers the far-flung upheavals of the years 1963-1965, including Dallas, St. Beginning where PARTING THE WATERS left off with the death of JFK, PILLAR OF FIRE recounts the rise of the movement that stirred from Southern black churches to challenge the national conscience.

Gordon contends that the nation's productivity growth will be further held back by the headwinds of rising inequality, stagnating education, an aging population, and the rising debt of college students and the federal government, and that we must find new solutions.

Several times in this memoir, Finnegan recounts how he is nearly drowned or dashed against the rocks. There was, that is, so much water rushing up the face that no matter how fast your board was moving across the surface, you were, in land terms, standing still … Then, after a few moments of this stomach-turning suspended animation, you would suddenly start rocketing down the coast, with the boulders turning into a long white blur under blue water.”įor all the beauty of such moments – and the author’s ability to recall and describe them – they are haunted by real danger. “The big white boulders underneath the water were stationary, or even inching slightly backward. ![]() “Sometimes the bottom did not move at all,” he writes. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You will learn the fundamentals of character development, world-building and the basics of storytelling architecture. ![]() Through hands-on weekly exercises with a focus on craft and process, as well as insights from the real-world practices of accomplished authors, this course explores the core elements of fiction writing necessary to build an outline.
