Book Synopsis Not Dead & Not for Sale by : Scott Weiland
Download or read book Not Dead & Not for Sale written by Scott Weiland and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1990s, Stone Temple Pilots—not U2, not Nirvana, not Pearl Jam— was the hottest band in the world. STP toppled such mega-bands as Aerosmith and Guns N’ Roses on MTV and the Billboard charts. Lead singer Scott Weiland became an iconic front man in the tradition of Mick Jagger, David Bowie, and Robert Plant. Then, when STP imploded, it was Weiland who emerged as the emblem of rock star excess, with his well-publicized drug busts and trips to rehab. Weiland has since made a series of stunning comebacks, fronting the supergroup Velvet Revolver, releasing solo work, and, most recently, reuniting with Stone Temple Pilots. He still struggles with the bottle, but he has prevailed as a loving, dedicated father, as well as a business-savvy artist whose well of creativity is far from empty. These earthling papers explore Weiland’s early years as an altar boy right along with his first experiences with sex and drugs. Weiland discusses his complex relationships with his parents, stepfather, siblings, and the love of his life, Mary Forsberg Weiland. Readers learn the fascinating stories behind his most well-known songs and what it was like to be there at the beginning of the grunge phenomenon, as Rolling Stone proclaimed on its cover: “the year punk broke.” Not Dead & Not for Sale is a hard rock memoir to be reckoned with—a passionate, insightful, and at times humorous book that reads with extraordinary narrative force.

Book Synopsis This House Is Not for Sale by : E.C. Osondu
Download or read book This House Is Not for Sale written by E.C. Osondu and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning author of Voice of America paints a vivid, fully imagined portrait of an extraordinary African family and the house that holds them together. A powerful tale of family and community, This House Is Not for Sale brings to life an African neighborhood and one remarkable house, seen through the eyes of a young member of the household. The house lies in a town seemingly lost in time, full of colorful, larger-than-life characters; at the narrative’s heart are Grandpa, the family patriarch whose occasional cruelty is balanced by his willingness to open his doors to those in need, and the house itself, which becomes a character in its own right and takes on the scale of legend. From the decades-long rivalry between owners of two competing convenience stores to the man who convinces his neighbors to give up their earthly possessions to prepare for the end of the world, Osondu’s story captures a place beyond the reach of the outside world, full of superstitions and myths that sustain its people. Osondu’s prose has the lightness and magic of fable, but his themes—poverty, disease, the arrival of civilization in an isolated community—are timeless and profound. At once full of joyful energy and quiet heartbreak, This House Is Not for Sale is an utterly original novel from a master storyteller.

Book Synopsis My Mercedes Is Not for Sale by : Jeroen Bergeijk
Download or read book My Mercedes Is Not for Sale written by Jeroen Bergeijk and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2011-03-04 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My Mercedes Is Not for Sale" is a rollicking, witty and insightful tale of an innocent abroad which captures the high-spirited adventure of a young journalist and paints a vivid portrait of West Africa through a surprise-filled journey into its thriving car cult. "My Mercedes is Not for Sale" has all the wit and charm of John Mole's bestselling "Its All Greek to Me!" and Peter Allison's "Don't Run, Whatever You Do" and the philosophical underpinnings of Robert Pirsig's "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".Dutch journalist Jeroen van Bergeijk came up with what seemed like a great scheme for making a quick profit: buy an old banger in Amsterdam and resell it in the Third World, where a market for clapped-out cars still thrives. His chariot of choice is a rusty 1988 Mercedes 190D with 140,000 miles on the clock; his route takes him from Holland through Morocco, across the Sahara, and into some of the least trodden parts of Africa. Van Bergeijk finds himself facing a driving challenge akin to a Dakar Road Rally but encounters obstacles never dreamed of by race-car drivers: active minefields, occasional banditry-mostly by the border guards - and a teenaged, chain-smoking desert guide with a fondness for Tupac lyrics.Food and water are scarce, sandstorms are frequent, and all he has to patch up his many car breakdowns thousands of miles from civilization is a bar of soap, some duct tape, and a pair of women's tights. Then there's the coup he lived through. "My Mercedes Is Not for Sale" captures more than the adventure - it vividly portrays the impact of globalization on Africa through an adventurous and sometimes dangerous journey into its thriving car culture.

Book Synopsis Today Sardines Are Not for Sale by : Paula Schwartz
Download or read book Today Sardines Are Not for Sale written by Paula Schwartz and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Today Sardines Are Not For Sale is a microhistory of a single, emblematic event: the demonstration on the rue de Buci, a food protest that took place on May 31, 1942 at a central market area in occupied Paris. It was a time of dire food scarcity, escalating tensions between shoppers and merchants, an upsurge of urban guerrilla violence, and relentless repression of dissent by the authorities. The French collaborationist government at Vichy saw the demonstration as a crime against the State. For the German occupiers, it was "terrorism." For the French Communist party activists who staged the event and participated in it, it was an act of people's justice. What ultimately became known as the "Buci affair" had tragic consequences for the demonstrators and far-reaching ramifications for the underground communist resistance. How did a relatively obscure incident become a short-lived cause célèbre? Why did it mobilize the French police, the courts, and the German military authorities but fail to mobilize the public? How did the party and party activists use gender to shape the event and perceptions of it? This close-up of a single episode reveals the motivations of the committed women and men who orchestrated it, and the visible but unseen moving parts of the "above-ground underground." Today Sardines Are Not For Sale is the product of a privileged moment when it was possible to confront written sources-newly accessible police and court records---with the oral testimony of surviving participants"--
Book Synopsis It’S Not for Sale by : Karl A. Grosvenor
Download or read book It’S Not for Sale written by Karl A. Grosvenor and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The way we view religion today has changed immensely, and increased access to technology has led to a businesslike presentation of evangelism to the masses. Competition is strong with grassroots churches vying for larger buildings in order to accommodate expanding congregations, and money has become an important factor. However, the way in which money is obtained has become questionable. In Its Not for Sale, author Karl A. Grosvenor provides us with an insightful commentary on the monetary focus of todays megachurches and televangelists, which have often promoted tithing and donations rather than concentrating on the spiritual needs of the people. Grosvenor refers to the ultimate source of truththe Bibleto caution those who blindly trust their money to televangelists, helping them to understand what God himself says about tithing, contributions, and the design and growth of the church. The church is swiftly becoming a vast marketplace with divisions that once stood between different faiths now serving as connections for the advancement of unity and economic success. Yet Christians and church leaders must stay vigilant against putting a price on salvationfor the blood of Christ is freely given and not for sale. In this book Karl Grosvenor provides us with an excellent, insightful, thoroughly researched and well-presented commentary on the monetary focus of todays megachurches. His concern for people of all economic and ethnic backgrounds who attend these churches and support them with their tithes was echoed in a speech by Michael Eric Dyson on the 50th anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King Jr. This is a must-read for everybody, cautioning those who blindly trust their money to these televangelists, and advising them to refer to the ultimate source, the truth - the Bible, in light of this evolution of the function of the church in our society.
