Book excerpt: DISCRETION ADVISED Forced by her very public persona to control her emotions, Dana Sterling found herself at a loss when she came face-to-face with Sam Remington. After more than a decade apart, he was suddenly back in her life, her only chance at avoiding a career-ending scandal. But why was Sam so intent on helping her? Was it the memory of the long-ago lust they had once shared, or was there more to his agenda? Privately, Dana feared this grown-up, gorgeous Sam might destroy all that she had achieved—to make her pay for what they'd both been denied. But if she allowed herself to succumb to the potent passions that still brewed between them…would she even care?
Book Synopsis Discreet Indiscretions by : Jörg R. Bergmann
Download or read book Discreet Indiscretions written by Jörg R. Bergmann and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although discourse theory tends to draw upon lofty examples, Discreet Indiscretions draws instead on one many consider inconsequential. Bergmann treats daily gossip, both friendly and malicious, as the genre of everyday communication and thereby in need of serious analysis. Utilizing discourse theory and ethnomethodology, this study shifts among several kinds of terrain: the sociology of language, the sociology of knowledge, and the sociology of culture. It rests on widespread individual observations on gossip in the existing literature of social science and on the investigation of real gossip recorded in conversations in the field, and reproduced here as transcribed segments. By exploring the complex relations of friendship and loyalty with respect to transmitting knowledge about the personal affairs of others, he develops his thesis: that gossip should be defined not as a control mechanism, but rather as the social organization of discreet indiscretions.
Book Synopsis A Very Private Celebrity by : Hugh Purcell
Download or read book A Very Private Celebrity written by Hugh Purcell and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Freeman was one of Britain's most extraordinary public figures for over half a century: a renaissance man who constantly reinvented himself; a household name who sought complete anonymity. From advertising executive to war hero to MP tipped to be Prime Minister, Freeman then changed direction to become a seminal television interviewer and editor of the New Statesman. He subsequently remodelled himself yet again to become, in turn, an ambassador, a TV mogul, a university professor and, finally, in retirement, a well-known bowls player in south London. Freeman packed nine lives into his ninety-nine years, but all he really wanted was to be forgotten. The paradox of this private celebrity was captured by the very series that made him famous: Face to Face. While Freeman remorselessly interrogated the stars of his age, he himself sat in the shadows, his back to the camera. He was the grand inquisitor, exposing the personalities behind the public figures - but never his own. For ten years, Hugh Purcell has been tracking Freeman's story, trying to come face to face with this enigma who believed in changing his life - and his wife - every ten years. Why did Freeman want to forget what most old men would be proud to remember? Why did he try to erase himself from history? And yet, despite Freeman's best efforts to be ignored, his death in 2014 was marked by an enormous outpouring of appreciation and admiration. With his life now free from its shroud of inscrutability, the true story of this incredibly multifaceted man can finally be told.

Book Synopsis The End of Privacy by : Charles J. Sykes
Download or read book The End of Privacy written by Charles J. Sykes and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 1999-10-21 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Justice Louis Brandeis suggested more than a century ago, privacy--the right to be left alone--is the most valued, if not the most celebrated, right enjoyed by Americans. But in the face of computer, video, and audio technology, aggressive and sophisticated marketing databases, state and federal "wars" against crime and terrorism, new laws governing personal behavior, and an increasingly intrusive media, all of us find our personal space and freedom under attack. In The End of Privacy, Charles Sykes traces the roots of privacy in our nation's founding and Constitution, and reveals its inexorable erosion in our time. From our homes and offices to the presidency, Sykes defines what we have lost, citing example after example of citizens who have had their conversations monitored, movements surveilled, medical and financial records accessed, sexual preferences revealed, homes invaded, possessions confiscated, and even lives threatened--all in the name of some alleged higher social or governmental good. Sykes concludes by suggesting steps by which we might begin to recover the territory we've lost: our fundamental right to our own lives.
Book Synopsis The Public Congress by : Gary Lee Malecha
Download or read book The Public Congress written by Gary Lee Malecha and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-22 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary members of Congress routinely use the media to advance their professional goals. Today, virtually every aspect of their professional legislative life unfolds in front of cameras and microphones and, increasingly, online. The Public Congress explores how the media moved from being a peripheral to a central force in U.S. congressional politics. The authors show that understanding why this happened allows us to see the constellation of forces that combined over the last fifty years to transform the American political order. Malecha and Reagan’s keen analysis links the new "public" Congress and the forces that are shaping political parties, the Presidency, interest groups, and the media. They conclude by asking whether the kind of discourse that this "new media" environment fosters encourages Congress to make its distinctive deliberative contribution to the American polity. This text brings historical depth as well as coverage of the most current cutting edge trends in new media environment and provides an exhaustive treatment of how the U.S. Congress uses the media in the governing process today.
Book Synopsis Burden of Proof: Using Known Concepts to Reveal Eternal Truths by : Brandon Russell
Download or read book Burden of Proof: Using Known Concepts to Reveal Eternal Truths written by Brandon Russell and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-11-28 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where is the proof? Why believe in something if there is no evidence? Also, why believe in something when there is evidence that runs contrary to a particular belief? This is basic logic and a reason why most deny a deity. Most who deny a deity argue there is no evidence. Also they point to scientific evidence to validate their skepticism. However, what if there is evidence and evidence that is overwhelming? Those who deny a deity have every right to demand evidence. Yet, what will they do when they are provided proof? The Bible advocates a God who is sovereign. If this is true everything points to his existence. God is not hiding, he wants to be known. BURDEN OF PROOF: Using Known Concepts to Reveal Eternal Truths, was written to identify the evidence of God's existence. The author answers forty thought-provoking questions that highlight the eternal truths of Scripture. Thus proving that the burden of proof does not lie with those who believe in God but with those who don't.
Book Synopsis Why Sports Morally Matter by : William Morgan
Download or read book Why Sports Morally Matter written by William Morgan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-08-21 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we accept that advertisers and sponsors dictate athletic schedules, that success in sport is measured by revenue, that athletes’ loyalties lie with their commercial agents instead of teams and that game rules exist to be tested and broken in the pursuit of a win, what does our regard for sport say about the moral and political well-being of our society? Why Sports Morally Matter is a deeply critical examination of pressing ethical issues in sports – and in society as a whole. Exploring the broad historical context of modern America, William J. Morgan argues that the current state of sports is a powerful indictment of our wealth-driven society and hyper-individualistic way of life. Taking on critics from all sides of the political debate, Morgan makes the case that, despite the negating effect of free market values, sport still possesses important features that encourage social, moral and political values crucial to the flourishing of a democratic polity. It is this potential to transform society and the individual that makes sport a key battleground in the struggle for the moral soul of twenty-first century America.
Book Synopsis White House by the Sea by : Kate Storey
Download or read book White House by the Sea written by Kate Storey and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Impeccably researched…captivating!” —Elin Hilderbrand * “A well-paced history.” —The New York Times Book Review * “Fascinating…with new details and well-sourced reporting.” —Associated Press NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! The intimate, multigenerational story of the Kennedy family as seen through their Hyannis Port compound on Cape Cod—the iconic place where they’ve celebrated, mourned, and bonded—based on more than a hundred in-depth interviews by a Rolling Stone editor and journalist Kate Storey. Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, is synonymous with the Kennedy family. It is where, for a hundred years, America’s most storied political family has come to celebrate, bond, play, and grieve. It is also the setting of so many events we remember: JFK giving his presidential acceptance speech, Jackie speaking with a Life magazine reporter just days after her husband’s assassination, Senator Edward Kennedy seeking refuge after the Chappaquiddick crash, Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger tying the knot—and even Conor Kennedy courting pop star Taylor Swift. Anyone who has lived in, worked at, or visited the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port has had a front-row view to history. Now, with extraordinary access to the Kennedy family—and featuring more than fifty rarely-seen images—journalist Kate Storey gives us a remarkably intimate and poignant look at the rhythms of an American dynasty. Drawing from a wealth of conversations with family members, friends, neighbors, household and security staff, Storey presents a rich and textured account of the Kennedys’ lives in their summer refuge. From the 1920s, when Rose and Joseph P. Kennedy rented then bought a home known as The Malcolm Cottage, to today, when many Kennedys have purchased their own homes surrounding what’s now called The Big House, this book delivers many surprising revelations across the decades, including what matriarch Rose considered the family’s greatest tragedy, the rivalrous relationship between brothers Jack and Joe, details about Jackie’s life at the compound, and previously unknown glimpses into JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette’s loving and ill-fated relationship. “Engaging and…intimate anecdotes that often stand in contrast to predominant, media-created perceptions...Readers will come away with new insights and due appreciation for this uniquely American dynasty” (Booklist, starred review).

Book Synopsis Letters to Saint Clinton by : Scott Ritcher
Download or read book Letters to Saint Clinton written by Scott Ritcher and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The controversy that ignited when a Kentucky artist depicted former President Clinton as a Christlike Catholic icon is documented through this book of letters from critics and supporters. As seen in USA Today, The Guardian, and dozens of media outlets around the world, LETTERS TO SAINT CLINTON juxtaposes passionate letters and commentary from admirers and detractors with equally tempestuous responses from artist Scott Ritcher. Excerpts from press coverage are also thrown into the mix, and the resulting drama that plays out lands at all points along the line from painfully serious to painfully hilarious. At times, the heated exchanges between religious purists and casual observers devolve into threats and become downright scary. Across 190 pages, LETTERS TO SAINT CLINTON emerges as an extensively diverse and multifaceted discussion about religion, politics, art, government policy, comedy, pop culture, false assumptions, separation of church and state, and personal freedom in America.
Book Synopsis When the Hills Are Hard to Climb by : Adebola T. Odukoya
Download or read book When the Hills Are Hard to Climb written by Adebola T. Odukoya and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-05-16 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The family today is redefined by many parameters, social-psychological, political, and legal ways. The biblical definition of the family has been polluted by immoral and excessive social and legal permission. But Jesus had already included everybody anyhow in the family of God by drawing wider the circle of divine familyhood. He had offered himself to all as a guide and leader along the mountains, hills and molehills of life's troubles. With this book and the Bible in your hand, you can climb the hills of your life easily with Jesus Christ as your leader and guide. Enjoy it.
Book Synopsis Affairs of State by : Robert P. Watson
Download or read book Affairs of State written by Robert P. Watson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Eliot Spitzer, John Edwards, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, and countless other politicians have made headlines for their sexual scandals. But such stories are not new. Indeed, there is a long history of misbehavior in politics, including in the nation's highest office. Bill Clinton, it can safely be said, was not the first president to misbehave, nor was he the worst. In fact, there is a long history of presidential peccadilloes. Many presidents have been influenced and had their careers affected by the hand of a woman, sometimes that of a wife or mother, but at other times that of a mistress. But these stories are rarely told. Instead, history has tended to glorify our leaders. Such a scrubbed version of the lives of presidents, however, omits their marital woes, love lives, and sexual peccadilloes. As Robert P. Watson reveals, it is precisely these intimate and all-too-human moments that provide some of the most valuable insights into our leaders. Affairs of State is not just about sex and scandal--the "who did it" of history--although such incidents are described in detail. It is a book about love, marriage, and affairs in the White House, offering an intimate character study of the First Couples who made history.

Download or read book 42 written by Michael Nelson and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-14 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses hundreds of hours of newly opened interviews and other sources to illuminate the life and times of the nation’s forty-second president, Bill Clinton. Combining the authoritative perspective of these inside accounts with the analytic powers of some of America’s most distinguished presidential scholars, the essays assembled here offer a major advance in our collective understanding of the Clinton White House. Included are path-breaking chapters on the major domestic and foreign policy initiatives of the Clinton years, as well as objective discussions of political success and failure. 42 is the first book to make extensive use of previously closed interviews collected for the Clinton Presidential History Project, conducted by the Presidential Oral History Program of the University of Virginia’s Miller Center. These interviews, recorded by teams of scholars working under a veil of strict confidentiality, explored officials’ memories of their service with President Clinton and their careers prior to joining the administration. Interviewees also offered political and leadership lessons they had gleaned as eyewitnesses to and shapers of history. Their spoken recollections provide invaluable detail about the inner history of the presidency in an age when personal diaries and discursive letters are seldom written. The authors producing this volume had first access to more than fifty of these cleared interviews, including sessions with White House chiefs of staff Mack McLarty and Leon Panetta, Secretaries of State Warren Christopher and Madeleine Albright, National Security Advisors Anthony Lake and Sandy Berger, and a host of political advisors who guided Clinton into the White House and helped keep him there. This book thus provides a multidimensional portrait of Bill Clinton's administration, drawing largely on the observations of those who knew it best.

This discussion of contemporary and future criminal activity teaches students facts about the present as well as the skills to stay current in a rapidly changing field. This book is indispensable for core courses in criminal investigation. Chapters include a variety of helpful charts, tables, and illustrations, as well as discussion questions that provide focus on the most important points. A glossary provides definitions for terms that have specialized meanings, and an online companion site offers an array of resources for both students and instructors.
