In the first fourteen school days of 2014, there were seven school shootings, compared to twenty–eight school shootings in all of 2013. The reasons behind this escalating violence, and the cultural forces that have impugned a generation, is the subject of the important new book The Spiral Notebook.
New York Times–bestselling author Stephen Singular has often examined violence in America in his critically–acclaimed books. Here he has teamed with his wife Joyce for their most important work yet — one that investigates why America keeps producing twenty–something mass killers. Their reporting has produced the most comprehensive look at the Aurora shooting yet and draws upon the one group left out of the discussion of violence in America: the twenty–somethings themselves.
While following the legal proceedings in the Aurora shooting, The Spiral Notebook is full of interviews with Generation Z, a group dogged by big pharma and anti–depressants and ADHD drugs, by a doomsday/apocalyptic mentality present since birth, and by an entertainment industry that has turned violence into parlor games.
Provocative and eye–opening, The Spiral Notebook is a glimpse into the forces that are shaping the future of American youth, an entire generation bathed in the violence committed by their peers.]]>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C2189262https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C2189262Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2189262980EBOOKThe Aurora Theater Shooter and the Epidemic of Mass Violence Committed by American Youthenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781619026445/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1667813https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1667813Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1667813126BKThe Aurora Theater Shooter and the Epidemic of Mass Violence Committed by American Youthenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781619025349/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1800715https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1800715Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1800715126PAPERBACKNancy Pfister, Dr. William Styler, and the Murder of Aspen's Golden Girlenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250097156/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=
