Book Synopsis Scandal in the American Orchid Society by : Luis A Valdez
Download or read book Scandal in the American Orchid Society written by Luis A Valdez and published by Ken Levi. This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the explosive, true-life exposé about an orchid lover’s journey, and about the people who shot him down. It’s about me, Luis Valdez, and how I rose to become the first Hispanic President of the Alamo Orchid Society in San Antonio, Texas. It’s about how I was unanimously elected and re-elected for two terms in office, and then how the President who succeeded me kicked me out of the Club. In a larger sense, it’s a tell-all tale about gross mismanagement in a voluntary society, and it reflects not only on the ineptitude of the current AOS leaders, but also on the culpability of the American Orchid Society, their parent organization.

Book Synopsis The Scent of Scandal by : Craig Pittman
Download or read book The Scent of Scandal written by Craig Pittman and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2012-03-18 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After its Peruvian discovery in 2002, Phragmipedium kovachii became the rarest and most sought-after orchid in the world. Prices soared to $10,000 on the black market. Then one showed up at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, where every year more than 100,000 people visit. They come for the lush landscape on Sarasota Bay and for Selby's vast orchid collection, one of the most magnificent in the world. The collision between Selby's scientists and the smugglers of Phrag. Kovachii, a rare ladyslipper orchid hailed as the most significant and beautiful new species discovered in a century, led to search warrants, a grand jury investigation, and criminal charges. It made headlines around the country, cost the gardens hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations, and led to tremendous internal turmoil. Investigative journalist Craig Pittman unravels this tangled web to shine a spotlight on flaws in the international treaties governing trade in endangered wildlife--which may protect individual plants and animals in shipping but do little to halt the destruction of whole colonies in the wild. The Scent of Scandal unspools like a riveting mystery novel, stranger than anything in Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief or the film Adaptation. Pittman shows how some people can become so obsessed--with beauty, with profit, with fame--that they will ignore everything, even the law.

Book Synopsis American Hitler: Trump and His Cult of Followers by : Ken Levi
Download or read book American Hitler: Trump and His Cult of Followers written by Ken Levi and published by Ken Levi. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not about Donald Trump. It’s about his diehard followers. How could they so zealously and single-mindedly revere someone whom we see as monumentally unfit for his job? How is it that so many people were beguiled by a vision of hate and discord, of intolerance and violence, of authoritarianism and lawlessness, of coarseness and mendacity, and of simple basic meanness? In light of all Trump’s transgressions, listed in Chapter One from “a” to “z,” how is it that people remained so devoted to this man, that they would professedly “die for him”? That is the subject of this book. Several years ago, I published Violence and Religious Commitment: Implications of Jim Jones’s People’s Temple Movement. Contributors to that book include leading experts in the field of extremist cults. Now, I bring their expertise to bear in a demographical, sociological, and psychological analysis of what I term the “American Hitler” and his bewildering cult of followers.
Download or read book Proving God Exists written by Ken Levi and published by Ken Levi. This book was released on 2021-05-09 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is real. The evidence is solid and extensive. It’s not based on blind faith or wishful thinking, but on hard science. The starting point is to strip away layers of mysticism and superstition surrounding the question of a Supreme Being; then, to ask: what do we really mean by “God”? How can we describe Him? What evidence do we have such a Being exists? In addressing these questions, the book relies on physics and cosmology; on Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, String Theory, Black Hole Theory, Thermodynamics, Loop Quantum Gravity, and others. Ultimately, the scientific evidence leads to a provocative conclusion: the ubiquity of a Universal Mind.
