You can show / hide elements, create / remove elements, change CSS classes and properties, react to mouse and keyboard events, use AJAX etc.

i need help picking out a book.i like teen books like-gossip girl-sisterhood of traveling pants-meg cabot books-sarah dessen books-i hate fantasy or mysterycan u also add links for summaries of the book?thank you so muchhhhhbtw... im 14
Answer:
These are good books and series that i have read. The summaries are there too.-the twilight series is really good. It is by stephanie meyer and it is a vampire romance. 3 books so farTwilight:About three things I was absolutely positive:First, Edward was a vampire.Second, there was a part of him–and I didn’t know how dominant that part might be–that thirsted for my blood.And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.“I’D NEVER GIVEN MUCH THOUGHT TO HOW I WOULD DIE– I’d had reason enough in the last few months –but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. . . . Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of something else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.”When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerizing voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret. What Bella doesn’t realize is the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk. And, it might be too late to turn back. . . .Deeply seductive and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight will have readers riveted right until the very last page is turned. New Moon: For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is more dangerous than Bella ever could have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of an evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may just be beginning.... Legions of readers entranced by the New York Times bestseller Twilight are hungry for more, and they won't be disappointed by this gripping sequel. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist. Passionate, riveting, and deeply moving, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.Eclipse: Readers captivated by Twilight and New Moon will eagerly devour Eclipse, the much anticipated third book in Stephenie Meyer's riveting vampire love saga. As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob --- knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which? -Then there is Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin.Welcome to Elsewhere. It is warm, with a breeze, and the beaches are marvelous. It’s quiet and peaceful. You can’t get sick or any older. Curious to see new paintings by Picasso? Swing by one of Elsewhere’s museums. Need to talk to someone about your problems? Stop by Marilyn Monroe’s psychiatric practice. Elsewhere is where fifteen-year-old Liz Hall ends up, after she has died. It is a place so like Earth, yet completely different. Here Liz will age backward from the day of her death until she becomes a baby again and returns to Earth. But Liz wants to turn sixteen, not fourteen again. She wants to get her driver’s license. She wants to graduate from high school and go to college. And now that she’s dead, Liz is being forced to live a life she doesn’t want with a grandmother she has only just met. And it is not going well. How can Liz let go of the only life she has ever known and embrace a new one? Is it possible that a life lived in reverse is no different from a life lived forward? This moving, often funny book about grief, death, and loss will stay with the reader long after the last page is turned. ....-The Shwa was here by Neal shustermenThey say his clothes blend into the background, no matter where he stands. They say a lot of things about the Schwa, but one thing’s for sure: no one ever noticed him. Except me. My name is Antsy Bonano—and I was the one who realized the Schwa was "functionally invisible" and used him to make some big bucks. But I was also the one who caused him more grief than a friend should. So if you all just shut up and listen, I’ll tell you everything there is to know about the Schwa, from how he got his name, to what really happened with his mom. I’ll spill everything. Unless, of course, "the Schwa Effect" wipes him out of my brain before I’m done . . . . -twisted by Laurie hales andersonHigh school senior Tyler Miller used to be the kind of guy who faded into the background-average student, average looks, average dysfunctional family. But since he got busted for doing graffiti on the school, and spent the summer doing outdoor work to pay for it, he stands out like you wouldn't believe. His new physique attracts the attention of queen bee Bethany Milbury, who just so happens to be his father's boss's daughter, the sister of his biggest enemy-and Tyler's secret crush. And that sets off a string of events and changes that have Tyler questioning his place in the school, in his family, and in the world. In Twisted, the acclaimed Laurie Halse Anderson tackles a very controversial subject: what it means to be a man today. Fans and new readers alike will be captured by Tyler's pitchperfect, funny voice, the surprising narrative arc, and the thoughtful moral dilemmas that are at the heart of all of the author's award-winning, widely read work. -slam by nick hornbyJust when everything is coming together for Sam, his girlfriend Alicia drops a bombshell. Make that ex-girlfriend- because by the time she tells him she's pregnant, they've already called it quits. Sam does not want to be a teenage dad. His mom had him at sixteen and has made it very clear how having a baby so young interrupted her life. There's only one person Sam can turn to-his hero, skating legend Tony Hawk. Sam believes the answers to life's hurdles can be found in Hawk's autobiography. But even Tony Hawk isn't offering answers this time-or is he? Inexplicably, Sam finds himself whizzed into the future, for a quick glimpse of what will be . . . or what could be. In this wonderfully witty, poignant story about a teenage boy unexpectedly thrust into fatherhood, it's up to Sam to make the right decisions so the bad things that could happen, well, don't.-Speak by Luarie Hales AndersonSimilar to Lauries other book, It is about a teenager with a not so good life. Melinda ruined the end-of-summer party by clling the cops and now her closet friends and people she does not even know hates her. It is no use to try explaining it to her parent; they do not know what her life is really like. The safest place for Melinda to be is alone inside her head, but that is not even safe beacuase there's something she is trying not to think about, something that happened at the party. If she admitted it she would blow her carefully constucted disguise to smithereens. And then she would have no choice. She would have to speak the truth.-And then the Harry potter series is really good too.

Question : What is the future of books? What would a bookless future hold for generations to come?
With advances in technology, electronic books and audio books are gaining popularity. But these do not offer the 'feel' of curling up with a good book. They also limit the audience to only those that have acess to a computer/internet.Can traditional books and the world of computer text live in harmony and coincide with each other? Will books become obsolete? What would a bookless future hold for generations to come?Thank you in advance!
Answer:
Well, the book has been around about 500 years, so I doubt it is going anywhere.Audio would seem to be the way to go, but there is a problem. There is something you can do with a book or screen that you can't do with sound...skim.When we read, we can glance over words pretty quickly. Taht is why it deosn't raelly mtater how bad yuor seplinlg is. Your brain can just quickly scan a pile of letters and make sense of them.This allows you to just skim over a book until to find the relavent information.That is something you can't do with an audio file.I think that one day there will be an 'electric book', like the one amazon is trying to sell, but reading isn't going anywhere.Joe

Question : What books would you suggest for a liberal reader for a government class?
I have to read a book and do a project over the summer based on a political science book for a government class, and I was just curious as to any ideas for a pretty liberal person. I am willing to read something that I will more or less agree with, but I am also willing to read something that will make me furious. So any suggestions would be fantastic. Thanks! I have a list of about 100 books, but I can get another approved if it fits the mold.
Answer:
Read Sanford D. Horwitt's "Let Them Call Me Rebel: Saul Alinsky, His Life and Legacy." You can also read Alinsky's now classic "Rules for Radicals." Alinsky is generally considered the father of community activism. Hillary Clinton did her senior honors thesis on Alinsky. He had a fascinating life, to say the least.

Question : What atheistic books should I ask my Christian girlfriend to read?
She wants me to read some books by Lee Strobel and Norman Geisler. For each book I read, though, I'm allowed to ask her to read a book from the atheist point of view. Which ones should I recommend?And don't suggest science books or anything like that, because she already knows that stuff. Some of it better than I do.
Answer:
The god delusion by Richard Dawkins, and God is not great by Christopher Hitchens
