Download or read book Barack Obama written by David Maraniss and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-06-19 with total page 773 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The groundbreaking multigenerational biography, a richly textured account of President Obama and the forces that shaped him and sustain him, from Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter, political commentator, and acclaimed biographer David Maraniss. In Barack Obama: The Story, David Maraniss has written a deeply reported generational biography teeming with fresh insights and revealing information, a masterly narrative drawn from hundreds of interviews, including with President Obama in the Oval Office, and a trove of letters, journals, diaries, and other documents. The book unfolds in the small towns of Kansas and the remote villages of western Kenya, following the personal struggles of Obama’s white and black ancestors through the swirl of the twentieth century. It is a roots story on a global scale, a saga of constant movement, frustration and accomplishment, strong women and weak men, hopes lost and deferred, people leaving and being left. Disparate family threads converge in the climactic chapters as Obama reaches adulthood and travels from Honolulu to Los Angeles to New York to Chicago, trying to make sense of his past, establish his own identity, and prepare for his political future. Barack Obama: The Story chronicles as never before the forces that shaped the first black president of the United States and explains why he thinks and acts as he does. Much like the author’s classic study of Bill Clinton, First in His Class, this promises to become a seminal book that will redefine a president.

Book Synopsis The Cornbread Mafia by : James Higdon
Download or read book The Cornbread Mafia written by James Higdon and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1987, Johnny Boone set out to grow and harvest one of the greatest outdoor marijuana crops in modern times. In doing so, he set into motion a series of events that defined him and his associates as the largest homegrown marijuana syndicate in American history, also known as the Cornbread Mafia. Author James Higdon—whose relationship with Johnny Boone, currently a federal fugitive, made him the first journalist subpoenaed under the Obama administration—takes readers back to the 1970s and ’80s and the clash between federal and local law enforcement and a band of Kentucky farmers with moonshine and pride in their bloodlines. By 1989 the task force assigned to take down men like Johnny Boone had arrested sixty-nine men and one woman from busts on twenty-nine farms in ten states, and seized two hundred tons of pot. Of the seventy individuals arrested, zero talked. How it all went down is a tale of Mafia-style storylines emanating from the Bluegrass State, and populated by Vietnam veterans and weed-loving characters caught up in Tarantino-level violence and heart-breaking altruism. Accompanied by a soundtrack of rock-and-roll and rhythm-and-blues, this work of dogged investigative journalism and history is told by Higdon in action-packed, colorful and riveting detail.

Download or read book Killer Weed written by Susan C. Boyd and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2014-02-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1990s, marijuana grow operations have been identified by media and others as a new and dangerous criminal activity of “epidemic” proportions. With Killer Weed, Susan C. Boyd and Connie Carter use their analysis of fifteen years of newspaper coverage to show how consensus about the dangerous people and practices associated with marijuana cultivation was created and disseminated by numerous spokespeople including police, RCMP, and the media in Canada. The authors focus on the context of media reports in Canada to show how claims about marijuana cultivation have intensified the perception that this activity poses “significant” dangers to public safety and thus is an appropriate target for Canada’s war on drugs. Boyd and Carter carefully show how the media draw on the same spokespeople to tell the same story again and again, and how a limited number of messages has led to an expanding anti-drug campaign that uses not only police, but BC Hydro and local municipalities to crack down on drug production. Going beyond the newspapers, Killer Weed examines how legal, political, and civil initiatives that have emerged from the media narrative have troubling consequences for a shrinking Canadian civil society.
Book Synopsis Prison Gangs Behind Bars and Beyond by : Dev Rup Maitra
Download or read book Prison Gangs Behind Bars and Beyond written by Dev Rup Maitra and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-19 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws on a four-year ethnographic study conducted in the prisons and on the streets of Greater Manchester, England, to examine gangs and organised crime in the North of England. It includes the personal testimonies of active prison gang members and major organised crime figures, many of whom are behind bars, and some active street gang members. It presents an holistic account by exploring the linkages that exist between prisons and the streets, including the lines of continuity between gangs on both sides of the prison walls and how gang affiliation straddles this divide. It offers data on the region’s drug market (specifically Class A drugs) as this market is the lynchpin of the underworld, both within and without prison. It also includes the perspectives and insights of prison officers, police detectives, youth workers, active and former street gang members and the parents of deceased gang members. This is a ground-breaking, contemporary study, analysing English gang compositions and activities, with its findings and results based on qualitative interviews and ethnographic research.

Book Synopsis True Bud by : Scott Gillet, LCSW; CRNC
Download or read book True Bud written by Scott Gillet, LCSW; CRNC and published by BIRD. This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As legalization of recreational marijuana spreads across America, more and more young people will be smoking weed, with the belief that it’s harmless fun, with no detrimental side effects and little or no risk of addiction. True Bud will open your eyes to the truth: in this country, where almost no attention is given to quality regulation, origin, or growing practices, weed can be highly unsafe. Even medical marijuana may be laced with pesticides and other chemicals dangerous for human consumption. Learn how gang-distributed bud is trying to compete with medical weed, leading to cutting the product with K2 and other deadly substances. Many adults still have the idea that marijuana is completely benign, remembering the comparatively safe weed they bought in the 1970s or earlier. But now THC percentages have skyrocketed, the product is corrupted with toxins, and teenagers are experimenting with dabs, wax, and synthetics. True Bud will explain to you the brain chemistry of chronic weed use and particularly how it impacts the developing brain. You’ll learn about the amazing potential of marijuana in the treatment of ADD, chronic pain, trauma, and PTSD—and how Israel has led the world in development of clean, healthy weed. Eye-opening, surprising, and potentially life-saving, True Bud is the book you need to make informed decisions for yourself and your family.
Book Synopsis Specialized Gang Units by : Deborah Lamm Weisel
Download or read book Specialized Gang Units written by Deborah Lamm Weisel and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Between 1980 and the mid-1990s, the number of specialized gang units (SGU) in law enforcement agencies increased substantially. The rise in SGU coincided with the widespread adoption of community policing (CP). This report examined whether CP and SGU are complementary or conflicting approaches. The research approach consisted of field observation of gang personnel in two CP agencies with SGU: Indianapolis, IN, and San Diego, CA. This report describes the specific types of activities engaged in by SGU -- documenting the time expended by SGU personnel on each. The results suggest that SGU can have an important role in modern policing. There is little evidence that SGU conflict with CU in principle or practice.
