"Exciting News: My Two New Books Are Now Published!"

The Turn

DENNIS JOINER

This book looks at American life during a pivotal time (1950-2024) in American history: the Turn. It covers the postwar booms, social movements, the Reagan revolution, the Gulf wars, the war on terror as well as counterculture, protest movements, and the election of two unique presidents. The Turn looks at 75 years from the perspective of social change and modes of thought and the concomitant tension, conflict, and controversy that disaffected Americans who, despite their best efforts to live normal lives, could not escape from a miasma of discontent. The wars, the violence associated with protests, financial crises and a global pandemic, all came at great human cost to many Americans families. This book looks at effects of these occurrences on American society: examining such topics as illiberal religions, the corrupt media, the trappings of greed in politics, globalism, the woke culture; the role of film, television, and music; and more.

Let The Playing Field Level The Playing Field

DENNIS JOINER

This book is intended to describe America’s longing for a more perfect union and its frustration in achieving the metaphorical level playing field where no external influence affects the ability of the players to compete fairly and where all players play by the same rules. It may not happen tomorrow but sometime in the future, science and technology will allow the playing field to level itself through dynamic transformative social epiphenomena. This is obviously a complex phenomenon that requires a thorough understanding of America’s political socioeconomic playing field. This book provides this understanding.
