Long DescriptionRemember the ivory tower of Babel in the Old Testament? College campuses are more biblical than liberals think. As Mike S. Adams explains in his new book Welcome to the Ivory Tower of Babel: Confessions of a Conservative College Professor, most college campuses are in a state of turmoil, not unlike that of the story in Genesis. Adams was an atheist and a Democrat when he started teaching criminal justice at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington in 1993. However, when he renounced those stands and became a Christian and a Republican in the late 1990s, he also began taking a stand against the lack of diversity and equal treatment of all men and women at his university. Adams first uses a batch of letters he penned to university leaders and students to illustrate the irony of diversity and affirmative action at UNC. He then offers column-formatted prose to explain and challenge the move toward a politically correct and non-Christian campus environment. Hardcore feminism and "Queer Studies" are examples he cites that are flourishing on campus, while schools risk losing funding unless they downplay connections to Christ, Christianity and faith. The final part of Adams' book is dedicated to explaining the controversy that brought him and the university into the news in 2001 and 2002 ? his challenge that free speech has its consequences and that all Americans - conservative and liberal alike -have the right to express their opinions. While Adams touches on many hot topics, including abortion, racism, and Christianity, the book's primary thesis is one of encouragement. "Conservative students can succeed on college campuses," he argues, "just as can their liberal counterparts." He urges college administrators to treat all students with fairness and dignity, regardless of political or religious views.

Data Feed API v2 - Access and Data Layout

This describes how to use version 2.x of the data feed. Version 1.x of the feed is no longer supported in any way.

Accessing the data requires your account to have an active data feed. This switch can be turned on or off on the data feed page. This is also where you will be able to view your KEYCODE which is required to make calls to the feed.

You must always pass these...

The feed return data structure...

All fieds are returned regardless of the result. Check the status code before trying to make use of any of the data returned. As long as the code you send is valid (not an error) the barcode field will hold a link to a baccode graphic. If you get a 404 error because we can't find the product, you may still get valid data in the company section so you may want to check the company name field.
