Is it accurate? Absolutely! I was there." ?John Aquilino, former Director, NRA Public Education "Ricochet is right on target.

Book excerpt: One night will never be enough. Galan Black carries a burden he can't share with anyone, least of all his two brothers. Not even after the blood, sweat, and tears, it took for them to open and make the Black Pearl Nightclub a raging success. He's just glad his secret doesn't haunt him half as much in the arms of the eager women he takes to bed. Yet he can't stop thinking about the plain Jane bartender and waitress, who he impulsively hired against his better judgment. Then she steps half-naked onto the stage for the club's once-yearly charity auction and he can't keep his bidding paddle down, or his eyes off her. He'll have her for the night, and get her out of his system once and for all. Layla doesn't trust men, yet her infatuation with the eldest Black brother is getting beyond a joke. She needs to experience a night in his bedroom and get over her silly fixation. But then one night becomes two, with the heat between them showing no signs of cooling. Until Layla's trust is put to the ultimate test and dirty little secrets are exposed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The day that the closure of the News of the World was announced, will forever be regarded as the saddest in the entire history of journalism. Paul Barker was one of the handful of freelance photographers used on a full time basis by the paper, so when it came, the news was a devastating bombshell. After over 20 years working as a photojournalist, with 12 of those on the News of the World, he has been uniquely placed to give an insight into what it was like to work on a Sunday tabloid. From photography tips, to getting into events without a pass, 'Snapper' provides a fantastic, and highly amusing, window into the world of a national newspaper photographer. Rather than an expose into the phone hacking scandal that finally engulfed the paper, Snapper...Confessions of a News of the World Photographer, is a celebration of some of its finest moments. Recounted in a personal and engaging style, it is a series of often hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking anecdotes. It chronicles some of the best known, as well as some of the more obscure stories, covered by what many have come to regard as the world’s greatest newspaper.

Download or read book The Origins of the Individualist Self written by Michael Mascuch and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the emergence of the concept of self-identity in modern Western culture, as it was both reflected in and advanced by the development of autobiographical practice in early modern England. It offers a fresh and illuminating appraisal of the nature of autobiographical narrative in general and of the early modern forms of biography, diary and autobiography in particular. The result is a significant and original contribution to the history of individualism. Michael Mascuch argues that the definitive characteristic of individualist self-identity is the personal capacity to produce a unified retrospective autobiographical narrative, and he stresses that this capacity was first demonstrated in England during the last decade of the eighteenth century. He examines the long-term process of innovation in written discourse leading up to this event, from the first use of blank almanacs and common place books by the pious in the late sixteenth century, through the popular criminal biographies of the late seventeenth century, to the printed-for-the-author scandalous memoirs of the mid-eighteenth century. While offering a detailed account of a significant period in the rise of a modern literary genre, Origins of the Individualist Self also addresses topics which are central in the fields of literary and cultural theory and social and cultural history.

Download or read book The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man written by John Perkins and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2016-02-09 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring 15 explosive new chapters, this new edition of the New York Times bestseller brings the story of Economic Hit Men up-to-date and, chillingly, home to the U.S.―but it also gives us hope and the tools to fight back. Former economic hit man John Perkins shares new details about the ways he and others cheated countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Then he reveals how the deadly EHM cancer he helped create has spread far more widely and deeply than ever in the US and everywhere else—to become the dominant system of business, government, and society today. Finally, he gives an insider view of what we each can do to change it. Economic hit men are the shock troops of what Perkins calls the corporatocracy, a vast network of corporations, banks, colluding governments, and the rich and powerful people tied to them. If the EHMs can't maintain the corrupt status quo through nonviolent coercion, the jackal assassins swoop in. The heart of this book is a completely new section, over 100 pages long, that exposes the fact that all the EHM and jackal tools—false economics, false promises, threats, bribes, extortion, debt, deception, coups, assassinations, unbridled military power—are used around the world today exponentially more than during the era Perkins exposed over a decade ago. As dark as the story gets, this reformed EHM also provides hope. Perkins offers specific actions each of us can take to transform what he calls a failing Death Economy into a Life Economy that provides sustainable abundance for all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day on eBay, millions of people buy and sell a vast array of goods, from rare collectibles and antiques to used cars and celebrity memorabilia. The internet auction site is remarkably easy to use, which accounts in part for its huge popularity. But how does eBay really work, and how does it compare to other kinds of auctions? These are questions that led Ken Steiglitz--computer scientist, collector of ancient coins, and a regular eBay user--to examine the site through the revealing lens of auction theory. The result is this book, in which Steiglitz shows us how human behaviors in open markets like eBay can be substantially more complex than those predicted by standard economic theory. In these pages we meet the sniper who outbids you in an auction's closing seconds, the early bidder who treats eBay as if it were an old-fashioned outcry auction, the shill who bids in league with the seller to artificially inflate the price--and other characters as well. Steiglitz guides readers through the fascinating history of auctions, how they functioned in the past and how they work today in online venues like eBay. Drawing on cutting-edge economics as well as his own stories from eBay, he reveals practical auction strategies and introduces readers to the fundamentals of auction theory and the mathematics behind eBay. Complete with exercises and a detailed appendix, this book is a must for sophisticated users of online auctions, and essential reading for students seeking an accessible introduction to the study of auction theory.
