Book excerpt: The lawyer turned on the tape recorder, handed his client a cigarette, and lit it for him. Black drew hard, squinting as the smoke rushed into his lungs. "Where do you want to start?"the lawyer said, lighting a cigarette of his own. "I guess there’s only one place to start; at Broad and Erie." Johnny Podres, a politician whose record against corruption had been propelling him straight to the mayor’s office, is found murdered in a North Philly crack house. Enter Samuel Jackson, a.k.a. Black, a drug addict who knows better, a man embittered by the fact that he can’t seem to escape from his addiction to crack cocaine or, for that matter, from himself. Though he was once a family man with a wife and son, Black’s only concern these days is getting his next high, that is, until he stumbles across a friend and fellow addict, Leroy, and both become prime suspects in the Podres murder. Black and Leroy hook up with two female pipers: Clarisse, a registered nurse who is slowly losing to crack any semblance of a respectable life, and Pookie, who already has lost it. Soon the hunt is on for all four as they try to stay one step ahead of a police department under tremendous pressure to solve the case—because if a killer isn’t found soon, this could blow up into one of the biggest scandals in Philadelphia history. Solomon Jones weaves a suspenseful story against the backdrop of corruption in the Philadelphia police department and centers it on a group of drug addicts who, in the process of fleeing the law, come to terms with their own addiction, leading to some devastating consequences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ready for a dose of hard-hitting, no-holds-barred, honest narrative on the issues of the day without the spin? Then Anthony Livingston Hall is your man. In this fourth volume of commentaries from The iPINIONS Journal weblog, Hall offers a bold, comprehensive anthology on the most significant and popular developments of our time. An unsparing, equal-opportunity critic, Hall’s sting is made both edifying and entertaining by his cogent writing and inimitable wit. Hall’s refreshing worldview stems from the unique fusion of his Caribbean heritage and American education. He writes as persuasively about the pivotal 2008 U.S presidential election as he does about the Olympic Games, or the genocide raging in Darfur. Other timely targets include the pipe dream of peace in the Middle East, the global financial crisis, and the developments in Europe during 2008. Intelligent and insightful, The iPINIONS Journal injects a powerful voice into the national dialogue, one not to be missed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an international history of the foundation of modern arms control, highlighting the fact that the instrument is varied, resilient, successful, and enduring. The narrative begins after the Napoleonic wars when newly arisen peace movements focused on arbitration as a path to “ending the war system.” It moves on to the international community’s embrace of “total and complete disarmament” and then to its acceptance of more limited measures by 1968, including the agreements that remain in force today. The book connects the past to the present of multiple negotiations, successful and failed, and underlines how the peace movement increasingly influenced the national policy of the major Western powers, especially the United States. It also highlights the increasing diversification of arms control players, including women and people of color as well as the countries they represented. Based on original research in multinational records and the latest scholarship, the book illustrates the reasons multilateral arms control remains a key instrument of international relations. The chapters are organized both chronologically and thematically, with the result that they cover different amounts of time in order to encompass a given issue and to capture the development of particular threads. The main narrative evolves into a decadeslong quest for a global treaty on “general and complete disarmament,” which otherwise paces the book and shapes its chapters. This book will be of much interest to students of arms control, global governance, peace studies, and International Relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historian Sir John Wheeler-Bennett (1902–1975) was one of the twentieth century's most extraordinary political observers. Through an ability to make important connections, he became an authority on Germany in the interwar years and was acquainted with all the German hierarchy, including Hitler and Hindenburg. He was one of the last people to interview Trotsky, writing an important analysis of the Brest-Litovsk Treaty between Germany and the Soviet Union in 1917. As King George VI’s official biographer, he met and interviewed the major leaders of the postwar period, including Churchill, Coolidge, Truman, and members of the British Royal Family. A teacher at the universities of New York, Virginia, and Arizona, he also briefly supervised young Jack Kennedy’s master’s thesis at Harvard. This first biography of Wheeler-Bennett will fascinate anyone interested in the great political figures of world history during the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William R. Brashear deals with tragedy, not as a dramatic literary genre, but as a basic way of experiencing the universe and of reacting to it. The writer of tragedy forces readers to confront much more than a tragic flaw in a single character; he forces them to confront the gorgon's head itself, the ultimate chaos of the universe. For him, Aristotle's intellectualization of tragedy distorted it for centuries because the tragic sense of life is experiential and intuitive rather than logical and syllogistic. In the later works of Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Spangler, Brashear finds the beginnings of the understanding of tragedy that developed in nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature. In careful considerations of such writers as Shakespeare, Tennyson, Conrad, Housman, Shaw, O'Neill, and Arthur Miller, Brashear refines his views of tragedy and tests their validity. The chapter on Tennyson supersedes and goes well beyond The Living Will, his earlier study of the poet. Brashear's discussions of individual writers reinforce each other and point to several important conclusions about the tragic vision and tragic art. Most significant among his conclusions is that tragedy is often taken to be more benign and positive than it really is and that if the tragic experience is essentially healthy and rewarding, it is so because it involves a confrontation that broadens, strengthens, and stabilizes and not because it suggests any ultimate solution to the human condition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este estudio analiza la poética de oposición de Melville y se centra en aspectos locales, temáticos, retóricos y técnicos de los poemas del autor. La tensa relación de Melville con su país ensayada en sus novelas se condensa en la poesía que se analiza aquí. Como poeta, Melville es, por increíble que parezca, una voz que clama en tierra salvaje, con la extensa tradición de los clásicos occidentales y de la Biblia que se repiten en estos poemas. Las obras analizadas en este libro han sido seleccionadas de las tres colecciones de poesía publicadas durante la vida de Melville: Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War, John Marr and Other Sailors with Some Sea-Pieces y Timoleon Etc. La disensión que emana de este corpus poético subraya el inconformismo de Melville con las expectativas ortodoxas de la América de finales del siglo XIX.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critic Clive Barnes once called Eugene O’Neill the “world’s worst great playwright” and Brooks Atkinson called him “a tragic dramatist with a great knack for old-fashioned melodrama.” These descriptions of the man can also be used to describe his work. Despite the fact that O’Neill is the only American playwright to win the Nobel Prize for Literature and his last works are some of America’s finest, most of his published works are not good. This work closely examines how O’Neill’s failures as a playwright are inspiring and how his disappointments are reflections of his own theory that tragedy requires failure, a theory that is evident in his work. Conflicts in O’Neill’s plays are studied at the structural level, with attention paid to genre, language or dialogue, characters, space and time elements, and action. Included is information about O’Neill’s life and a chronological listing of all of his 50 plays with basic details such as production history, principal characters, dramatic action, and a brief commentary.

Book excerpt: Humanity lives in a bubble of ignorance, a state of mind that distorts our perception to include pain, discord and scarcity. However, this doesn’t have to be. Permanent Safety, Health, Prosperity and Peace can be our experience once we Remember who We Really are. This Truth is not new. Every Illumined Individual throughout the ages has discovered It. Religions have been built on It. For most of us, though, the Promise of sustained Harmony and Happiness is lost to the bubble time and time again. Why the Truth retreats and how we can contact It again is the subject of this book. In a deeply revealing conversation between human consciousness and Spiritual Consciousness, answers to questions such as “what am i doing here?” and “why am i in this body?” are explored. Ancient teachings are dusted off, linked together, and made more available and relevant. Our core assumptions, beliefs, values and objectives are profoundly challenged. However, if we are willing, Truth takes us by the hand and leads us to a higher Understanding where True Hope is offered in an increasingly chaotic, despairing and dangerous world.

Have you tried everything to heal the pain you feel deep inside, but still feel lost and lonely? Barry Ferguson takes you on a fantastic journey of discovery through his own transformation by weaving his personal story with a proven step-by-step roadmap that will heal even the most hardened of hearts. After nearly dying in two separate car accidents during a six-week period, Barry set off on a quest to completely change his life and find his true calling. What he found has been distilled into an easy to digest, faith-based guide to living a heart-centered life built upon God’s unconditional love. Despite his many failures in life, Barry has learned from his mistakes and helps others do the same. He believes that everyone deserves to be loved...including you. Digging deep into his own disappointments, Barry gives an authentic account of resurrection from the depths of his own broken life to inspire others in becoming the people God wants them to be. Collision Course is an incredible resource for any follower of Jesus who has felt a crisis of faith at one time or another, as well as for those who are new to the Christian journey. Barry shows how the journey of life is more important than the destination, and everything you need to succeed in life comes from God. If you died today, could you honestly say you gave more love than you took? What would you do to change the equation?
