In 1999, thirteen kids at Columbine High School were murdered by their peers. In 2012, twenty children and seven adults were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary. Thirty–two were killed at Virginia Tech. Twelve killed at the Washington Navy Yard. In May 2014, after posting a YouTube video of "retribution" and lamenting a life of "loneliness, rejection, and unfulfilled desires," a lone gunman killed six and wounded seven in Isla Vista. All of these acts of violence were committed by young men between the ages of eighteen and thirty.<br>Mass violence committed by young people is now an epidemic. 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 <i>The Spiral Notebook</i>.<br><i>New York Times</i>–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.<br>While following the legal proceedings in the Aurora shooting, <i>The Spiral Notebook</i> 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.<br>Provocative and eye–opening, <i>The Spiral Notebook</i> 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.]]></description><link>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C2189262</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C2189262</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Singular, Stephen, Singular, Joyce]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2189262980</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Aurora Theater Shooter and the Epidemic of Mass Violence Committed by American Youth</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781619026445/MC.GIF&amp;client=chicagoplb&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Wichita Divide]]></title><description><![CDATA["On May 31, 2009, Scott Roeder walked into a Wichita church, drew a pistol, and shot Dr. George Tiller at point blank range. Tiller, who was the most public practitioner of late-term abortions in America, had been a lightning rod for controversy, regularly referred to in the conservative media as 'Tiller, the Baby Killer.' Tiller's death was not an isolated act of violence, but a pivotal, public murder in a war that has been raging for decades. It's a war of violently opposing ideologies, encompassing abortion, but also questions of privacy, sexuality, and religion. It's being fought in our nation's courtrooms, at school and churches, on television sets, at our dinner tables, and in our bedrooms. And more and more, the key battlegrounds are in Kansas, once home to Brown vs. Board of Education and some of the bloodiest conflicts of the Civil War. This is a gripping look at a cold-blooded terrorist action, two men representing opposite ideological extremes, and the region where those violent forces clash"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1409027</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1409027</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Singular, Stephen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1409027126</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Murder of Dr. George Tiller and the Battle Over Abortion</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780312625054/MC.GIF&amp;client=chicagoplb&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Men Become Gods]]></title><description><![CDATA[As the self-proclaimed prophet of the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints, a sect of Mormonism based in southern Utah, Warren Jeffs held sway over thousands of followers for nearly a decade. In addition to coercing young girls into polygamous marriages with older men, Jeffs reputedly took scores of wives himself. The media were shunned, creating a hidden community where polygamy was prized above all else. But in 2007, after a two-year FBI manhunt, Jeffs was convicted as an accomplice to rape. Journalist Singular traces Jeffs's rise to power and the concerted effort that led to his downfall. It was a movement championed by law enforcement, but more vocally by a group of former wives seeking to liberate young women from the arranged marriages they'd once endured.  The book offers new revelations into a nearly impenetrable enclave--a place of inbreeding and eerie seclusion, and a tradition almost a century old.--From publisher description.]]></description><link>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1513700</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1513700</guid><category><![CDATA[PAPERBACK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Singular, Stephen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1513700126</comments><format>PAPERBACK</format><subtitle>Mormon Polygamist Warren Jeffs, His Cult of Fear, and the Women Who Fought Back</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780312564995/MC.GIF&amp;client=chicagoplb&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Men Become Gods]]></title><link>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1211695</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1211695</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Singular, Stephen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1211695126</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Mormon Polygamist Warren Jeffs, His Cult of Fear, and the Women Who Fought Back</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780312372484/MC.GIF&amp;client=chicagoplb&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Uncivil War]]></title><link>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C849392</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C849392</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Singular, Stephen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2001 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/849392126</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Rise of Hate, Violence, and Terrorism in America</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781893224193/MC.GIF&amp;client=chicagoplb&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Rise and Rise of David Geffen]]></title><link>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C653257</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C653257</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Singular, Stephen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 1997 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/653257126</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781559724302/MC.GIF&amp;client=chicagoplb&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power to Burn]]></title><link>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C612451</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C612451</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Singular, Stephen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 1996 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/612451126</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Michael Ovitz and the New Business of Show Business</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781559723350/MC.GIF&amp;client=chicagoplb&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shadow on the Mountain]]></title><description><![CDATA["Nancy Pfister, heir to Buttermilk Mountain, the world-renowned site of the Winter X Games, was Aspen royalty, its ambassador to the world.

Pfister enjoyed bragging about her wealth and celebrity connections, but those closest to her, like Kathy Carpenter, Pfister's personal assistant, drinking companion, and on one occasion lover, knew better. In 2013, after a long fall from grace, Dr. William Styler and his wife, Nancy, relocated to Aspen to reinvent themselves. Nancy Pfister was their answered prayer.
