It seemed at times during the 1960s that America was caught in an unending cycle of violence and disorder. Successive summers from 1964-1968 brought waves of urban unrest, street fighting, looting, and arson to black communities in cities from Florida to Wisconsin, Maryland to California. In some infamous cases like Watts (1965), Newark (1967), and Detroit (1967), the turmoil lasted for days on end and left devastation in its wake: entire city blocks were reduced to burnt-out ruins and scores of people were killed or injured mainly by police officers and National Guardsmen as they battled to regain control. This book takes the pivotal year of 1967 as its focus and sets it in the context of the long, hot summers to provide new insights into the meaning of the riots and their legacy. It offers important new findings based on extensive original archival research, including never-before-seen, formerly embargoed and classified government documents and newly released official audio recordings.

The in-class melt down results in his expulsion from 'normal school' - to date the best day of Charlie's young life. He was sent for a psychological exam. The results reveal his abnormal intellect and lead to his placement in a 'special' school for the gifted but behaviorally challenged, The Brain Learning Trust or 'BLT' for short. Here, Charlie finds a home - a place where he can be his brilliant self and not be scrutinized for 'cheating'.

But there were strings attached ... and Charlie had no idea that his education would include risking his life! The summer of his entrance to the BLT has been extraordinarily hot - an unprecedented, world-wide, heat wave the scientific community can't explain as simple global warming.

An insane adventure begins involving all the assets of the BLT group and involves Charlie up to his eyeballs in telepathy, telekinesis, and the ancient power of Gia, Mother Earth as wielded by a modern, Druid Priestess! Can Charlie and his group save the Earth from destruction?!!
