Book Synopsis Tales from the Oldest Profession by : Kevin O'Donnell
Download or read book Tales from the Oldest Profession written by Kevin O'Donnell and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his forty-three years as a practising lawyer, Kevin ODonnell encountered a wide and sometimes weird mixture of characters lawyers, clients, police officers, and others. When it came time to tell the story of his career, he knew that he didnt want to write a book only about the law; he wanted to write a book about the people with whom and for whom he worked. Some of these stories may come off as improbable or even impossible, but theyre all true. He shares tales of the more notable people he had the privilege of dealing with and the unusual situations those associations created. He received the occasional threat of violence, but fortunately, none of them came to pass. He also survived the aggression of his peers, in and out of court. During his experience as a law student, articled clerk, employee lawyer, senior associate for substantial law fi rms, and partner in a fi rm in regional Victoria, he saw it all and some of the best anecdotes from those years await within. Many of the people he writes about are still his friends (and some never were), while some of them are now deceased. Theyve all provided him with amusement over the years, as well as wry smiles as he brought their shared adventures to life in his memoir.
Book Synopsis Gene Research at the Cia by : Nickolas Bay
Download or read book Gene Research at the Cia written by Nickolas Bay and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-02-21 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gene research at the CIA is an explosive sci-fi thriller where a young doctor named Dr. JANET STEWART is caught up in a top secret government experiment slipping out of control. Entangled in a web of politics, espionage and terrorism Dr. Stewart is taking the gamble of her life where one wrong move could be her last. Her discovery of the gene that controls a persons IQ is used in secret experiments in the armed forces, childrens clinics, prisons and at terrorist interrogations at Guantanamo Bay where personality changes are made. Her success advances her politically to earn a seat on the cabinet of the President of the United States. Dr. Stewarts association with two neurosurgeons Dr. JOHN STODDARD and Dr. JAMES ROTH lead to the discovery of the C mystery gene. An amazing observation is made after testing humans indicating this gene is fundamental in their thoughts involving faith and trust. They test an Atheist, Agnostic, dogmatic Catholic and a Muslim. Theories are made on how a suicide bomber constantly reinforces his faith gene to enable him to destroy his own life and that of others. Finally, the President of the United States decides to use these gene discoveries on thousands of foreign students invited as guests to study democracy and our life styles in the United States to, in effect, make them our secret ambassadors to promote democracy on their return home. This story illustrates how an innocent humanitarian idea slowly becomes a modern day Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde scenario. Individual IQs are changed and personalities regress from adult to that of children. Even the President is enticed by the lure of absolute power through gene control. The warning is simple; as we follow the path to new genetic discoveries we must be valiant not to surrender our moral and ethical values. We have the power and knowledge to create monsters.
Download or read book Bravo! written by Guy Graybill and published by Branden Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Italians were so busy creating and performing superb music that they neglected to tell the great epic story of their wondrous achievement. With BRAVO! we hope to tell that story. The 1,000-year-old story begins, basically, with the work of a humble monk from the city of Arezzo. And this story has no ending. If, on one hand, we will never know the music of the Egyptians, of the Greeks, and of the Romans, on the other, we have come to know and to enjoy the music of every composer from the 12th Century to the Present day thanks to Guido's invention of the musical scale. As the story unfolds, we are rewarded with the many convincing superlatives forever tied to Italian musical endeavors. The first ten chapters deal with the Italian musical geniuses who theorized, made superb instruments, composed, performed, orchestrated, conducted and sang for the enjoyment of listeners worldwide, and the closing chapter gives a comprehensive look at the beautiful things that have happened in the Italian and American world of music. While each page of BRAVO! is full of surprising and fascinating details, the title reminds us that the term, BRAVO! is reserved only for topnotch performances. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story involves the illegal and legal swapping of one persons gene for implanting into another person to change their intelligence. Although this book is fictional, it points out the ways science could change our political and ethical values. This book begins with a goal to help disabled children through new discoveries and gene manipulations by swapping genes.. The main character, Dr. Janet Stewart, directs a secret CIA lab whose basic purpose is to discover how certain genes operate. Her discovery of the gene that controls a persons IQ is secretly tested in childrens clinics, military academies, prisons and finally in terrorist interrogations at Guantanamo Bay. Genetic swaps are performed with dramatic results. Dr. Stewarts associations with two neurosurgeons, who are also interested in genetic research, bring about the discovery of the C mystery gene. An amazing observation is made after testing humans at a secret lab in Pahrump, Nevada. This gene proves to be fundamental in a persons thought regarding faith and trust. This leads to tests with Atheists, Agnostics, Catholics and Muslims. Tests show how a suicide bomber constantly reinforces his faith gene, through free will, to enable him to destroy his own life and that of others. Finally, The President of the United States directs Dr. Stewart to devise a program to be used on all foreign students visiting the United States that would make them our secret ambassadors without them ever knowing it. This is not a far fetched idea. New gene discoveries are being made as you read this novel.. The purpose of this book is to give a simple warning.

Book Synopsis The Sonny & Cher Guide by : Daniel Wheway
Download or read book The Sonny & Cher Guide written by Daniel Wheway and published by Daniel Wheway. This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Together as the most-successful husband-and-wife duo ever, Sonny & Cher sold over 10 million singles worldwide and topped the charts in Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States with original hits Baby Don't Go, Sing C'est La Vie, Little Man and, of course, 1960's anthem I Got You Babe. Their 3-million selling debut album Look At Us spent 8 consecutive weeks at #2 on the Billboard 200 and was one of 14 hit albums by the duo - the epitome of "super-couple". Later honoured with a Hollywood Walk of Fame star for their television work, the often-controversial tabloid-favourites - whom had undisputed significance in Phil Spector's success and the folk-rock era - also put their stamp on variety show history with their much-loved 1970's The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, which received 19 Emmy Award nominations. Due to the late-Sonny's conspicuously-crafted hits still being re-issued and played or imitated on TV shows such as The Simpsons, Mad Men, The Big Bang Theory and American dad!, and Cher's outstandingly-successful career still going strong in 2016 - plus son Chaz Bono's colossal amount of column inches - the beat goes on for this legendary duo....
Book Synopsis Gettin' Around by : Jürgen E. Grandt
Download or read book Gettin' Around written by Jürgen E. Grandt and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2018-12-15 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gettin' Around examines how the global jazz aesthetic strives, in various ways, toward an imaginative reconfiguration of a humanity that transcends entrenched borders of ethnicity and nationhood, while at the same time remaining keenly aware of the exigencies of history. Jürgen E. Grandt deliberately refrains from a narrow, empirical definition of jazz or of transnationalism and, true to the jazz aesthetic itself, opts for a broader, more inclusive scope, even as he listens carefully and closely to jazz's variegated soundtrack. Such an approach seeks not only to avoid the museal whiff of a "golden age, time past" but also to broaden the appeal and the applicability of the overall critical argument. For Grandt, "international" simply designates currents of people, ideas, and goods between distinct geopolitical entities or nation-states, whereas "transnational" refers to liminal dynamics that transcend preordained borderlines occurring above, below, beside, or along the outer contours of nation-states. Gettin' Around offers a long overdue consideration of the ways in which jazz music can inform critical practice in the field of transnational (American) studies and grounds these studies in specifically African American cultural contexts.

Book Synopsis Summary of S. J. Peddie's Sonny by : Everest Media,
Download or read book Summary of S. J. Peddie's Sonny written by Everest Media, and published by Everest Media LLC. This book was released on 2022-05-23T22:59:00Z with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The White House on Shrub Hollow Road was bugged by the FBI in the early 1960s because it was owned by John Sonny Franzese, the notorious Mafia up-and-comer. Sonny was made at the age of fourteen, and enforced his discipline with a bloodlust that terrified even the toughest of gangsters. #2 By the 1960s, Sonny was at the peak of his power. He had two separate phone lines installed at his house and still kept his phone conversations short and vague. He never discussed business with a woman. #3 Sonny and his wife, Tina, were one of the most glamorous couples in New York City. They had control over gambling, extortion, and loan shark rackets throughout Brooklyn, Queens, and much of Long Island. #4 The Witness Security Program, which became a critical tool to keep witnesses who testified against organized crime and other violent criminals out of harm’s way, would come back to haunt Sonny years later in a way he never could have imagined.
Book Synopsis The Italian American Heritage by : Pellegrino A D'Acierno
Download or read book The Italian American Heritage written by Pellegrino A D'Acierno and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-12 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999. The many available scholarly works on Italian-Americans are perhaps of little practical help to the undergraduate or high school student who needs background information when reading contemporary fiction with Italian characters, watching films that require a familiarity with Italian Americans, or looking at works of art that can be fully appreciated only if one understands Italian culture. This basic reference work for non-specialists and students offers quick insights and essential, easy-to-grasp information on Italian-American contributions to American art, music, literature, motion pictures and cultural life. This rich legacy is examined in a collection of original essays that include portrayals of Italian characters in the films of Francis Coppola, Italian American poetry, the art of Frank Stella, the music of Frank Zappa, a survey of Italian folk customs and an analysis of the evolution of Italian-American biography. Comprising 22 lengthy essays written specifically for this volume, the book identifies what is uniquely Italian in American life and examines how Italian customs, traditions, social mores and cultural antecedents have wrought their influence on the American character. Filled with insights, observations and ethnic facts and fictions, this volume should prove to be a valuable source of information for scholars, researchers and students interested in pinpointing and examining the cultural, intellectual and social influence of Italian immigrants and their successors.
