From the Dead Level: Malcolm X and Me

Many years ago I found a rare and antique book called “From the Dead Level: Malcolm X and Me”. I read the book and was interested to learn more about the author Hakim Jamal a 20th century black revolutionary. But was not able to find much more than the book already told me.

The book its self has some what of a mystery around it. I know its from the Niagara falls Public Library, first signed out June 6th 1972 and was last singed out February 23rd 1988. I have no idea how the book traveled halfway across the country…

Into The Wild wasn’t quite like that, the movie was fairly accurate although Holly Wood had to add some Drama, While maintaining a lot of Christopher Mccandless personality. For those of you who don’t know what the book is about, and in trying to keep this short. Its about a Young man in his early 20s who takes to the road after his graduation, basically separating him self from his family on the…

If you were anything like me and wondered why you cared at what point a train leaving Chicago would intercept a train leaving New York at. The Physics of Superheroes puts you in the rite frame of mind, the crime fighting frame of mind, and makes you think about the possibility and realities of a lot of comic book characters powers and even thought they might not exist, it could be in the realm of possibility.

Written by a physics professor and long-time comic-book fan James Kakalios, he Talks about the Physics behind memorable moments in comic book history. One…
