A brief history of vice : how bad behavior built civilization / by Evans, Robert,1988-author.(CARDINAL)412934;
Mother Nature: History's First Bartender -- Music: The First Drug? -- Celebrity Worship and the Greek Who Predicted TMZ -- How Drunken Parties Birthed (and Broke) Civilizations -- How Bad Behavior Saved Civilization -- Godstitution: The Hidden History of Sex Work -- Drugs, the Birth of Religion, and How to Trip Like a Philosopher -- Ancient Greek and the Birth of Science -- Tobacco and Marijuana: Twins Displaced by Time -- Drugged Cultures and Acid Wars -- The Shrub That Conquered the World -- The Coffee-Drinking Bad Boys of Ancient Islam -- How We Evolved to Be Kinky -- The Hijacking of Genius: A Deep History of Designer Drugs -- The Curious History of Salamander Brandy.Guns, germs, and steel might have transformed us from hunter-gatherers into modern man, but booze, sex, trash talk, and tripping built our civilization. Cracked editor Robert Evans brings his signature dogged research and lively insight to uncover the many and magnificent ways vice has influenced history, from the prostitute-turned-empress who scored a major victory for women’s rights to the beer that helped create—and destroy—South America's first empire. And Evans goes deeper than simply writing about ancient debauchery; he recreates some of history's most enjoyable (and most painful) vices and includes guides so you can follow along at home. A celebration of the brave, drunken pioneers who built our civilization one seemingly bad decision at a time, A Brief History of Vice explores a side of the past that mainstream history books prefer to hide.

After the revolution / by Evans, Robert,1988-author.(CARDINAL)412934; Morria, Tavia,illustrator.;
"What will the fracturing of the United States look like? After the Revolution is an edge-of-your-seat answer to that question. In the year 2070, twenty years after a civil war and societal collapse of the "old" United States, extremist militias battle in the crumbling Republic of Texas. As the violence spreads like wildfire and threatens the Free City of Austin, three unlikely allies will have to work together in an act of resistance to stop the advance of the forces of the Christian ethnostate known as the "Heavenly Kingdom." Our three protagonists include Manny, a fixer that shuttles journalists in and out of war zones and provides footage for outside news agencies. Sasha is a teenage woman that joins the Heavenly Kingdom before she discovers the ugly truths behind their movement. Finally, we have Roland: A US Army vet kitted out with cyberware (including blood that heals major trauma wounds and a brain that can handle enough LSD to kill an elephant), tormented by broken memories, and 12,000 career kills under his belt. In the not-so-distant world Evans conjures we find advanced technology, a gender expansive culture, and a roving Burning Man-like city fueled by hedonistic excess. This powerful debut novel from Robert Evans is based on his investigative reporting from international conflict zones and on increasingly polarized domestic struggles. It is a vision of our very possible future."--Amazon
