Book Synopsis From Thief to Chief by : Kevin Lowry
Download or read book From Thief to Chief written by Kevin Lowry and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-24 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thief to Chief is the story of one man who turned his life of crime into a career fighting it. This is an amazing autobiography about a white boy growing up in a black street gang in New York City during the turbulent decade of the 70's. In a series of flashbacks, the author tells the tails of how he called upon his harrowing, violent and illegal adolescent experiences to make him a highly respected beat cop and to catapult him to the highest ranks of the Nassau County Police Dept. This is also a story of personal achievement. The author, an underprivileged teen from a dysfunctional family and destined for prison takes the reader deep into a world of drugs, thievery, gang culture and racism. The book goes on to describe how this deeply troubled young thug took stock of himself, took responsibility for his own actions, literally escaped from the street and turned his wretched life into the American dream. Thief to Chief is a tremendous literary achievement for this first time author. The story is riveting, heart wrenching and glorious.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK A modern classic of personal journalism, The Orchid Thief is Susan Orlean’s wickedly funny, elegant, and captivating tale of an amazing obsession. Determined to clone an endangered flower—the rare ghost orchid Polyrrhiza lindenii—a deeply eccentric and oddly attractive man named John Laroche leads Orlean on an unforgettable tour of America’s strange flower-selling subculture, through Florida’s swamps and beyond, along with the Seminoles who help him and the forces of justice who fight him. In the end, Orlean—and the reader—will have more respect for underdog determination and a powerful new definition of passion. In this new edition, coming fifteen years after its initial publication and twenty years after she first met the “orchid thief,” Orlean revisits this unforgettable world, and the route by which it was brought to the screen in the film Adaptation, in a new retrospective essay.

This book was released on 2010-04-27 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the book The guns had barely gone silent after thirty months of a gruesome civil war. The infrastructure in the theater of war had all but been completely battered. A young final-year high school student fresh from the ravages of war had gained admission into one of the only four universities in his forcibly reunited country to study medicine in the western region of the country. A whole world of opportunities had been opened up. An unfolding odyssey of eleven action-packed years in the local West was to transform the emerging lover-boy eaglet through the ranks of William Shakespeares lover sighing like furnace to the soldier full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard. A short stint in party politics followed by leadership in professional politics pitched the young man against the powers that be. These were to culminate into series of dangerously veiled duels that were to ultimately force the man to seek disguised refuge in the shores of the acclaimed West. A new world, a new horizon, new scenes, new challenges, some uncanny solutions; the main actor in the odyssey himself bares it all!
Book Synopsis Government of the Crooks, by the Crooks, for the Crooks by : Emmanuel Onyemaghani Owah
Download or read book Government of the Crooks, by the Crooks, for the Crooks written by Emmanuel Onyemaghani Owah and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-08-22 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first in a series entitled Kleptomania. Kleptomania is a disease, a trait, or a cankerworm that plagues a person or group of people with an uncontrollable urge or instinct to steal or take anything or whatever that is not rightfully theirs or entitled to them. I strongly encourage you to read the content of this book and make an educated conclusion about its context! It’s eye popping, head nodding, finger snapping, teeth gnashing, nail biting, toe tapping; and it will certainly take your breath away. Another language for this is “head to toe.” All fingers are tainted. To be fairly nice about it, just about all fingers; I mean the average Nigerian has been caught with their fingers in the cookie jar. Corruption, crook, bribery, embezzlement, pilferage, stealing, and looting of the treasury has riddled this God-blessed country.
