Interstate 70, April 1969>Leaving both his girlfriend and the Academy behind in Colorado, Sam hitchhikes his way down Interstate 70 all the way home to Missouri. Along his way, he'll meet people from all walks of life: four Hispanic youths driving to a quinceañera, retired WWII vets who have differing opinions on the war, a hippie who just left the service, and a couple from California. Each brings their own perspective to both the Vietnam War and American ideals. As for Sam, he'll end up sharing more than just a ride--the exchange of ideas will set him on the course he was always meant to be on. Inspired by his own experiences, James Charles Smith's debut novel Flightless Falcon presents the varying nuances of American political beliefs during the late 1960s. Through Sam's interactions between people's perceptions on war, life, and love, Smith creates a narrative that reveals pivotal history through this coming of age story, transporting readers to a place where soul-searching is possible.

"This guide is organized topically. Each chapter contains clear, concise statements of the elements of property law, organized in sections that have topic headings. This content is similar to what you would find in a student text. Right after my text, there are one or occasionally two multiple-choice questions that follow up on the rules and principles. Unlike the standard student text or outline, the questions enable you to engage in active learning. After each question, I provide immediate and detailed feedback that assesses each of the multiple-choice responses. If you got the question right, your quick review of my comments hopefully will confirm your understanding; or on occasion you probably will discover that you got the question right "for the wrong reason," in which case you are able to clear things up or correct a misunderstanding"--
