Book excerpt: Flim Flam explores the world of Canadian white-collar crime, a place inhabited by hustlers, wild gamblers, and crazy dreamers. It takes the reader to the Vancouver Stock Exchange, where dream salesmen have peddled wild stories of easy money, through the "moose pasture" scams of northern Canada, to the con artists who have been drawn to Toronto’s financial district. Along the way, you’ll meet crooked politicians, a young con man who confessed to a church congregation after he was "born again," disbarred lawyers, and the creator of a huge paper fortune who was left with nothing but a wolfskin coat when his real estate empire fell apart. Greed is a powerful motivator that has taken some Canadians down strange roads. Some have ended up pocketing millions, but many more of Canada’s con artists have self-destructed, taking with them the fortunes of the people they bilked. In the end, they’ve usually fooled themselves, too. Flim Flam shows that Canadians aren’t nearly as dull as we’d like to believe. When it comes to conning each other, we have some of the most colourful and interesting hucksters in the world. This book contains stories from all regions of the country. It will appeal to business and true-crime readers, as well as people who are students of human nature.

Book excerpt: A timely Pandemic parody done in the style of Dr. Seuss. Flim Flam Sham- addresses relevant issues raised by the Covid19 Pandemic. Now more than ever personal liberty, free speech and the entire way pharmaceuticals are developed is being called into question. Have the lines between government and industry been blurred by individual financial gain at the expense of public safety? People are lining up to take vaccines which are not FDA approved and only have an emergency use provision. Have we just created the largest vaccine trial in history? If America is to remain a light of Freedom, ingenuity and scientific thought to the rest of the world we will need to address these issues and sift out what is real science and what is outdated and hype. We all want a safer world; pharmaceutical companies need to be held accountable for their products and we need to have a say in our freedoms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two notorious antebellum New York murder cases--a prostitute slashed in an elegant brothel and a tradesman bludgeoned by the brother of inventor Samuel Colt--set off journalistic scrambles over the meanings of truth, objectivity, and the duty of the press that reverberate to this day. In 1833 an entirely new kind of newspaper--cheap, feisty, and politically independent--introduced American readers to the novel concept of what has come to be called objectivity in news coverage. The penny press was the first medium that claimed to present the true, unbiased facts to a democratic audience. But in Froth and Scum, Andie Tucher explores--and explodes--the notion that 'objective' reporting will discover a single, definitive truth. As they do now, news stories of the time aroused strong feelings about the possibility of justice, the privileges of power, and the nature of evil. The prostitute's murder in 1836 sparked an impassioned public debate, but one newspaper's 'impartial investigation' pleased the powerful by helping the killer go free. Colt's 1841 murder of the tradesman inspired universal condemnation, but the newspapers' singleminded focus on his conviction allowed another secret criminal to escape. By examining media coverage of these two sensational murders, Tucher reveals how a community's needs and anxieties can shape its public truths. The manuscript of this book won the 1991 Allan Nevins Prize of the Society of American Historians for the best-written dissertation in American history. from the book Journalism is important. It catches events on the cusp between now and then--events that still may be changing, developing, ripening. And while new interpretations of the past can alter our understanding of lives once led, new interpretations of the present can alter the course of our lives as we live them. Understanding the news properly is important. The way a community receives the news is profoundly influenced by who its members are, what they hope and fear and wish, and how they think about their fellow citizens. It is informed by some of the most occult and abstract of human ideas, about truth, beauty, goodness, and justice.

Book excerpt: Come journey with shen brevard-from winter of '98 to summer of '05. Seven years 13 essays One ever present desire Saunter and weave through significant musings inspired by: east Asia's techno mega-city: Tokyo, the Atlantic seaboard's (brash with class) NYC-specifically-Brooklyn-n-Queens, northern Pacific's famed sophisticated 'City by the Bay' (San Francisco) and the Golden State's venerable yet sprawling hiptropolis: Los Angeles. From a native Californian's wanderlust to a fellow American's lament and disgust over their nation's chaotic reflection of magnificence mixed with devastating self-inflicted conflict. Same person. Different angles. Grounded in an ever shifting upward perspective. Political? Not really. Poignant? Yes. More importantly, this 'writer-to-be' invites you to look within-in order-to understand the world without. One-part neutral. Two-parts fresh-n-fun. Half part melancholy. Half part Cosmopolitan. Heed the call. Embark upon a most glorious, verbally artistic, Americana experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Dennis Patrick Slattery's writing shows, the very stuff of the great traditions is life itself, and the hurly-burly of current culture is the ground in which tradition thrives. Slattery's analyses are keen and thoughtful, often scholarly, and always deeply spiritual. But they are better for being a bit pugnacious and intimate and virile. They give evidence of a life lived in earnest, one in which nothing is walled off into a category but all enters into the whole that is the mysterious grounding of the person. Foreword by Louise Cowan, Author of The Fugitive Group Series Editor: The Terrain of Comedy, The Epic Cosmos, And The Tragic Abyss.
