Militia men want public land

Militia men want public land,
So Bundy & friends took a stand.
These terrorists flew
The red, white and blue;
The irony's lost on this band.

I got my daughter (11) this book for the holidays. She and I started reading it together and I'm really impressed. It has three things in it that I really appreciate:
1) Lots of real-world examples of the different styles of architecture it discusses, with enough, but not too much, detail that it remains interesting and appropriate for kids
2) LEGO-built equivalents of many of the famous buildings pictured in the books, with insights into how to translate each architectural style's characteristics into LEGO-building equivalents
3) Actual step-by-step instructions to build one archetypical example from each style, so you can end with actual models in your hands

Highly recommended if you are, or you have a kid, interested in LEGO and architecture. And at ~$22 for a nice-sized hardcover book, it's reasonably priced.

According to the new official style rules, people can no longer be "climate change deniers" or "climate change skeptics."

... the willful refusal of "those who reject mainstream climate science" to acknowledge the overwhelming evidence in the world is giving actual skeptics a bad name.

Instead, the new AP Stylebook recommends the use of "climate change doubters" or "those who reject mainstream climate science." They do not, however, forbid the use of other pejorative insults to describe the willful ignorance of this vocal minority.
