Books for Juniors and Seniors at Joplin HS.

Hello! My name is Brendan Cooney, and I teach English to juniors and seniors at Joplin High School. Recently I read Johann Hari's "Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention and How to Think Deeply Again" and I feel that it is perhaps the most accessible and timely call to action that I have read in many years. Our youth are desperate to break their addiction to their phones and media but get nothing from the world of adults other than victim-blaming exhortations to "stop looking at their phone." Please help me empower the next generation to concentrate and thereby work through the very complex problems of the 21st century.
I would like 150 hardback copies of the book. It is retailing right now on Amazon for $18.89. That comes out to $2,833.50.
