Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are about to embark on a ride through a form of reality that few travel. The Other Side of the Street places you in the life of a paramedic in the early days of modern prehospital emergency care. These are true accounts that happened in a major metropolitan area of more than a million people from 1979 through the '80s. What you are about to read is true, unedited, unabridged, and told in the author's own words, taken from the daily notes he made and retained from the beginning of his tenure. Nothing is sugarcoated. Most of it is shocking. He holds nothing back as he recounts his experiences with cruel, wonderful, horrific, and foolish people and the incredible and deadly health decisions that he, his partners, and other emergency personnel made on a nightly basis. The ride through the streets is not glamorous. Working on the streets is difficult, real, and filled with all forms of violence, deception, racism, sex, drugs, alcohol, hate, and incompetence, not only among the health-care profession but within law enforcement and fire departments as well. Such topics are usually taboo, but anything goes when it comes to reality. Physical violence may come out of ignorance, but the author includes his own physical battles; some were in self-defense while others were made in retaliation against those who did unmentionable acts to others, including the elderly and even innocent children. For this form of reality is gut-wrenching. It tears at your inner fabric. From your first encounter to your last, you will travel through a world you didn't think existed. Be prepared for what lies between these two covers. After a series of six surgeries over a short period of twenty-eight months, the author is suddenly thrusted into another form of reality. His own life is coming to an end. He needs to tell his story so that others may see the truth. He needs to open the reader's eyes so that his can close in peace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1990's Mobstyle rose up from the New York streets to build one of the largest cocaine empires in history. The crew was so well-known that it was immortalized in the major motion picture "Paid in Full." Yet even as they were becoming celebrities, its crew members struck fear in the city. Mobstyle: The True Story of My Brush with Death and the Betrayal of a friend, is a compelling glimpse into the New York drug trade in the 1990's, as described by the man who lived it. It's also an inspiring narrative of redemption. You can't trust anyone when it comes to the drug game. This was one of the things Wip Wop learned on the streets during the height of the New York drug war, and betrayal was the second. He was introduced to the infamous drug dealer, who was involved in countless murders. When HIS FRIEND was indicted on drug and murder charges in the 1990's he struck a deal with the government and agreed to become an informant. This is a story about growing up and running with Harlem's famed hustlers, the betrayal that came with it, and their rise and fall as members of the rap group and drug crew Mobstyle. Wip Wop is a clothing designer who was a part of the rap group Mobstyle. He currently resides on the east coast with his life partner. He is a dedicated father of two, who still makes music in his free time.

Download or read book Gary Larson and The Far Side written by Kerry D. Soper and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kerry D. Soper reminds us of The Far Side's groundbreaking qualities and cultural significance in Gary Larson and "The Far Side." In the 1980s, Gary Larson (b. 1950) shook up a staid comics page by introducing a set of aesthetic devices, comedic tones, and philosophical frames that challenged and delighted many readers, even while upsetting and confusing others. His irreverent, single panels served as an alternative reality to the tame comedy of the family-friendly newspaper comics page, as well as the pervasive, button-down consumerism and conformity of the Reagan era. In this first full study of Larson's art, Soper follows the arc of the cartoonist's life and career, describing the aesthetic and comedic qualities of his work, probing the business side of his success, and exploring how The Far Side brand as a whole--with its iconic characters and accompanying set of comedic and philosophical frames--connected with its core readers. In effect, Larson reinvented his medium by creatively working within, pushing against, and often breaking past institutional, aesthetic, comedic, and philosophical parameters. Due to the comic's great success, it opened the door for additional alternative voices in comics and other popular mediums. With its intentionally awkward, minimalistic lines and its morbid humor, The Far Side expanded Americans' comedic palette and inspired up-and-coming cartoonists, comedians, and filmmakers. Soper re-creates the cultural climate and media landscape in which The Far Side first appeared and thrived, then assesses how it impacted worldviews and shaped the comedic sensibilities of a generation of cartoonists, comedy writers, and everyday fans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a sticky summer morning at the end of the Eighties, 19-year-old Jason DeSena Trennert—a bright, unconnected Georgetown undergrad with big dreams and an even bigger power tie—set out for Wall Street. Mustering the perceived panache of the bigwigs, he burst through the doors of America's oldest financial firms. He was roundly rejected. And entirely undeterred. Trennert accepted a position as a cold-caller and charged ahead with the blind zeal of inexperience, finding in the process a genuine affinity for the customs and history of his work. Clinging to his dream from humble beginnings in financial sector Siberia—Morgan Stanley's Brooklyn outpost—and enduring the villainization of a respectable profession across two boom-bust cycles, he opened his own boutique company, now one of the world's leading research firms. Part memoir, part love letter to an institution popularly viewed as a necessary (or as just plain) evil, My Side of the Street delivers the long-overdue defense of the investment banking industry critiqued by Michael Lewis and others, illuminating the ethical and decent majority who take the subway, worry about mortgages, and keep the entire enterprise on its feet. Introducing the general reader to captains of finance, famous on The Street but invisible to outsiders, Trennert lays on display the absurdity and unbridled joy of big business—a comic tale of unlikely success in America's most notorious industry.

Download or read book Fitzrovia, The Other Side of Oxford Street written by Dr Ann Basu and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the other side of the story. Before the Second World War, Ann Basu's family of Jewish tailors lived where the BT Tower stands today. At that time of high migration, the women's fashion trade and the new car industry were sweeping into Fitzrovia, Russian and German anarchists argued in its clubs, Indian revolutionaries practised at the shooting range, and popular cafes such as Lyons' transformed the social lives of workers. The Jews of Fitzrovia and Soho saw each other as being on the 'other side' of Oxford Street, and this book reflects Fitzrovia's distinctive 'inbetween-ness' – at the inner edge of central London, but separate from the West End. Putting the spotlight on Fitzrovia's enterprising twentieth-century immigrant workers, this is the history of working-class and outsider voices that have previously been muted.

When Frank joined NASA and was selected to command the first mission to orbit the moon, that meant putting on a brave face for the world as her husband risked his life for the space race. The pressure and anxiety were overwhelming, and eventually Susan's well-hidden depression and alcoholism finally came to light. Frank had to come to terms with how his "mission above all else" mentality contributed to his wife's suffering. As Susan healed, she was able to begin helping others who suffered in silence from mental illness and addiction. Discover how Frank and Susan's love and commitment to each other is still overcoming life's challenges, even beyond their years as an Apollo commander and the founder of the Astronaut Wives Club.
