Download or read book Creativity written by Philippe Petit and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-08-18 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vein of The Creative Habit and The Artist’s Way, a manifesto on the creative process from a master of the impossible. Since well before his epic (and illegal) 1974 walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, Philippe Petit had become an artist who answered first to the demands of his craft—and not just on the high wire, but also as a magician, street juggler, visual artist, builder, and writer. He was a rebel and an autodidact, cultivating the attitudes, resources, and techniques to tackle even seemingly impossible feats. His outlaw sensibility spawned a unique approach to the creative process—an approach he shares, with characteristic enthusiasm, irreverence, and originality, in Creativity: The Perfect Crime. With the reader as his accomplice, Petit reveals fresh and unconventional ways of going about the artistic endeavor, from generating and shaping ideas to practicing, problem-solving, and ultimately pulling off the “coup” itself—executing a finished work. His strategies and insights will resonate with performers of every stripe (actors, musicians, dancers), practitioners of the non-performing arts (writers, artists), professionals in search of new ways of meeting challenges, and individuals simply engaged in the art of living creatively.

In an epic feat of storytelling and drawing on a remarkable amount of newly available material on all the major figures involved, Burrough reveals a web of interconnections within the vast American underworld and demonstrates how Hoover’s G-men overcame their early fumbles to secure the FBI’s rise to power.

Download or read book Jingle Jangle written by Jim Rix and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jim Rix's ordinary life was interrupted when he learned in 1992 that a cousin was on Death Row. Rix had never met Ray Krone and initially took only a casual interest in his case. He soon learned that among the abundance of evidence (fingerprints, footprints, pubic hairs, eyewitness testimony, DNA), only a bite mark tied his cousin to the murder of Kim Ancona, a Phoenix bartender. Questioning Ray's guilt, Rix invited a well-respected odontologist (bite mark expert) into the evidence room in the Maricopa County courthouse to compare the evidentiary bite mark photos to the cast of Ray's dentition. The second opinion not only convinced Rix of his cousin's innocence, but also embarked him on an eye-opening journey. JINGLE JANGLE is not simply the story of the monumental effort of family and friends to free Ray Krone, it is a penetrating indictment of an unfair justice system. With honesty, wit and a genius for interweaving story and brief, Rix tells a no-holes-barred tale: a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, a strange verdict, a quest to make sense of it all and a righteous battle for justice. You'll meet a remarkable defense attorney who knew what it took to free Ray Krone: "We must find out who killed Kim Ancona and shove it up their ass with a hot poker." Finally, you're in for a shock when you see where the author's attempt to discover whodunit ended up, and you too will be left wondering, Who really dunit?

Book Synopsis The Perfect Crime by : Jean Baudrillard
Download or read book The Perfect Crime written by Jean Baudrillard and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his new book, perhaps the most cogent expression of his mature thought, Jean Baudrillard turns detective in order to investigate a crime which he hopes may yet be solved: the "murder" of reality. To solve the crime would be to unravel the social and technological processes by which reality has quite simply vanished under the deadly glare of media "real time." But Baudrillard is not merely intending to lament the disappearance of the real, an occurrence he recently described as "the most important event of modern history," nor even to meditate upon the paradoxes of reality and illusion, truth and its masks. The Perfect Crime is also the work of a great moraliste: a penetrating examination of vital aspects of the social, political and cultural life of the "advanced democracies" in the (very) late twentieth century. Where critics like McLuhan once exposed the alienating consequences of "the medium," Baudrillard lays bare the depredatory effects of an oppressive transparency on our social lives, of a relentless positivity on our critical faculties, and of a withering 'high definition' on our very sense of reality.

Book Synopsis Is Rape a Crime? by : Michelle Bowdler
Download or read book Is Rape a Crime? written by Michelle Bowdler and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longlisted for the 2020 National Book Award for Nonfiction TIME's 100 Must-Read Books of 2020 Publishers Weekly, Best Books of 2020 New York Times New & Noteworthy Audiobooks Lit Hubs Most Anticipated Books of 2020 Starred Review Publishers Weekly Starred Review Shelf Awareness "Is Rape a Crime? is beautifully written and compellingly told. In 2020, we were all looking for solutions and this book was right on time. It is one we should all be reading." —Anita Hill "This standout memoir marks a crucial moment in the discussion of what constitutes a violent crime." —Publishers Weekly, Best Books of 2020 She Said meets Know My Name in Michelle Bowdler's provocative debut, telling the story of her rape and recovery while interrogating why one of society's most serious crimes goes largely uninvestigated. The crime of rape sizzles like a lightning strike. It pounces, flattens, destroys. A person stands whole, and in a moment of unexpected violence, that life, that body is gone. Award-winning writer and public health executive Michelle Bowdler's memoir indicts how sexual violence has been addressed for decades in our society, asking whether rape is a crime given that it is the least reported major felony, least successfully prosecuted, and fewer than 3% of reported rapes result in conviction. Cases are closed before they are investigated and DNA evidence sits for years untested and disregarded Rape in this country is not treated as a crime of brutal violence but as a parlor game of he said / she said. It might be laughable if it didn’t work so much of the time. Given all this, it seems fair to ask whether rape is actually a crime. In 1984, the Boston Sexual Assault Unit was formed as a result of a series of break-ins and rapes that terrorized the city, of which Michelle’s own horrific rape was the last. Twenty years later, after a career of working with victims like herself, Michelle decides to find out what happened to her case and why she never heard from the police again after one brief interview. Is Rape a Crime? is an expert blend of memoir and cultural investigation, and Michelle's story is a rallying cry to reclaim our power and right our world.
Book Synopsis Ultimate Punishment by : Scott Turow
Download or read book Ultimate Punishment written by Scott Turow and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2010-08-24 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's leading writer about the law takes a close, incisive look at one of society's most vexing legal issues Scott Turow is known to millions as the author of peerless novels about the troubling regions of experience where law and reality intersect. In "real life," as a respected criminal lawyer, he has been involved with the death penalty for more than a decade, including successfully representing two different men convicted in death-penalty prosecutions. In this vivid account of how his views on the death penalty have evolved, Turow describes his own experiences with capital punishment from his days as an impassioned young prosecutor to his recent service on the Illinois commission which investigated the administration of the death penalty and influenced Governor George Ryan's unprecedented commutation of the sentences of 164 death row inmates on his last day in office. Along the way, he provides a brief history of America's ambivalent relationship with the ultimate punishment, analyzes the potent reasons for and against it, including the role of the victims' survivors, and tells the powerful stories behind the statistics, as he moves from the Governor's Mansion to Illinois' state-of-the art 'super-max' prison and the execution chamber. Ultimate Punishment, this gripping, clear-sighted, necessary examination of the principles, the personalities, and the politics of a fundamental dilemma of our democracy has all the drama and intellectual substance of Turow's celebrated fiction.
