Book excerpt: Blue Lives Matter is a book that explores the line-of-duty deaths suffered by the law enforcement "blue" family. This book examines the deaths of eight police officers and one police canine in Los Angeles County. The chapters portray the fallen officers and the canine as true heroes who each made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their community. The cases include the murder of two officers solved over 40 years later; an officer murdered in front of his young son; two officers kidnapped and taken to an onion field where one officer is executed; an undercover officer murdered during a multi-million dollar drug transaction; an off-duty officer murdered by two gang members while riding his bicycle; and a cop-killer who fled to Mexico to avoid prosecution.Co-authors Steve Cooley and Bob Schirn discuss each case in detail. Each chapter discusses the incident that cost the officer his life. The court proceedings are reviewed, including victim impact testimony of the effect of the officer's death on family members and fellow officers. A Lessons Learned segment in each chapter is designed to increase officer safety and awareness of dangerous situations.Steve Cooley is a career prosecutor who served three full terms as the District Attorney of Los Angeles County. He was a reserve police officer for LAPD. He is uniquely positioned to discuss his involvement in each case and eminently qualified to provide perspectives and opinions on each case.
Book Synopsis There Are Two Sides to Every Story by : Briana Blackwell
Download or read book There Are Two Sides to Every Story written by Briana Blackwell and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the same time that the Black Lives Matter movement has generated national conversation on the question on police and state sanctioned violence, police accountability and transparency, Blue Lives Matter bills have emerged. The Twitter hashtags appearance in December 2014 transformed social media rhetoric into legislation designed to create additional protection for law enforcement. In this thesis, I document the rise and 100% increase of Blue Lives Matter bills between 2016 to 2017, also relying on early appearances of Blue Lives Matter bills in 2015. Using a critical race analysis to explore the racial implications embedded in the bills, I categorize the different sorts of bills that currently exist to expose patterns and trends in this form of legislation across the country. I will analyze what Blue Lives Matter bills are and where these bills currently exist within the United States, explore their language and relation to Black Lives Matter, and the interests the bills serve in protecting officers whose duty is to protect citizens. To date, academics have not yet taken on the issue of Blue Lives Matter legislation, and my research attempts to contribute to this body of scholarly literature as well as reach Black Lives Matter activists through qualitative analysis.

Download or read book The Blue Planet written by Mark Rogo and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-03-24 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book of this series, 23 Hours, was a labor of love and an intense lesson in the skills of writing. I dont even pretend to have those skills, but I do fool myself into thinking they might have some value to someone other than myself. If you enjoyed 23 Hours, I think you will love The Blue Planet. Its shorter and more focused, and less oriented as a social commentary, an outcry against the wrongs of the world. All in all, its just a lot more fun, with an incredible ending.

Book Synopsis Critical Race Theory: Black Athletic Sporting Experiences in the United States by : Billy J. Hawkins
Download or read book Critical Race Theory: Black Athletic Sporting Experiences in the United States written by Billy J. Hawkins and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-29 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the role of race in athletic programs in the United States. Intercollegiate athletics remains a contested terrain where race and racism are critical issues often absent in the public discourse. Recently, the economic motives of intercollegiate athletic programs and academic indiscretions have unveiled behaviors that stand to tarnish the images of institutions of higher education and reinforce racial stereotypes about the intellectual inabilities of Black males. Through the lens of Critical Race Theory (CRT), this volume analyzes sport as the platform that reflects and reinforces ideas about race within American culture, as well as the platform where resistance is forged against dominant racial ideologies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you asked Andi Turbot whether she had anything in common with Flash Gordon she’d say no, emphatically. Saving the world is for dynamic, go-ahead, leaders of men and while it would be nice to see a woman getting involved for a change, she believes she could be the least well-equipped being in her Galaxy for the job. Then her best friend, Eric, reveals that he is an extra terrestrial. He’s not just any ET either. He’s Gamalian: seven-foot, lobster-shaped and covered in marmite-scented goo. Just when Andi's getting used to that he tells her about the Apocalypse and really ruins her day. The human race will perish unless Eric’s Gamalian superiors step in. Abducted and trapped on an alien ship, Andi must convince the Gamalians her world is worth saving. Or escape from their clutches and save it herself. Written in British English with some light swearing. Suggested cinema rating, PG. Here are some things readers have said about it: 'If you like cheesy fifties scifi flicks you will definitely enjoy this light-hearted homage.' - crittermom 'If you like fast, interesting story-telling with good characterization with just the right bit of Python-esque quirkiness then look no further.' - Bradley 'My favourite book is Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, but this was almost as good. Perfect mix of sci-fi and humour all the way through to the exciting end. Best book I’ve read for months.' - 15 year old boy on the panel of the Wishing Shelf Book Award 'The pacing is the best part of this book. It’s like a white-water river. It even started exciting. It also has the best cover in this awards.' - 15 year old girl on the panel of the Wishing Shelf Book Award This book is a comedy fantasy written in the British Humorous tradition of writers such as, Douglas Adams, mainly the Hitch Hiker's Guide, Jasper Fforde, Tom Holt, Red Dwarf, Monty Python and Sir Terry Pratchett. It is also regularly compared to the Stainless Steel Rat Series and Heide Goody's Clovenhoof series. So, if you like any of those, you may well enjoy Escape From B-Movie Hell.
Book Synopsis Sustainable Blue Revolution in India by : Latha Shenoy
Download or read book Sustainable Blue Revolution in India written by Latha Shenoy and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides comprehensive information on several dimensions of blue revolution in a structured form. Material provided in the book has been gathered from several relevant published sources and views expressed are based on practical field experience of the authors. Blue revolution would be one of the big game changers for the Indian economy. The subject of sustainable development of fisheries sector being very vast, concerted efforts have been made to accommodate all the relevant elements. Very little reading material with proper analysis is currently available and this book is expected to bridge the gap and project way-forward to achieve sustainable development of fisheries and aquaculture in India under the blue revolution. The book is organised under 13 chapters covering wide ranging subjects that include fish production, processing, marketing, exports/imports of fishery products; ecolabelling; role of industry in promoting sustainability in fishing and aquaculture; sustainability issues in marine/inland fisheries/aquaculture; and fisheries regulations and legislations. Information has been provided on Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) particularly SDG 14 (Life Below Water); components of blue economy; Government of India fisheries development initiatives; and executive summary of recently launched PMMSY. Emerging plant and cell-based seafood segment; overall impacts of climate change; and impact of recent pandemic COVID-19 on fisheries and aquaculture are discussed under separate chapters. Finally, a chapter on ‘Way Forward’ is included that suggests practical management measures, technology infusion, technical interventions along with few innovative concepts and approaches towards achieving blue revolution.

Book Synopsis The Mongol Empire by : Michael Prawdin
Download or read book The Mongol Empire written by Michael Prawdin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his prologue to The Mongol Empire, Michael Prawdin sets the stage for the last and mightiest onslaught of the nomads upon the civilized world. He tells of the many rejoicings in Europe over the successes of the Crusaders in A.D. 1221. But little did Europe know that two decades later, the Mongol hordes organized by Genghis Khan would turn the Middle East into a heap of ruins and spread terror throughout the West. A work of enduring scholarship and literary excellence, The Mongol Empire is a classic on the rise and fall of the world's largest empire. It describes the incredible ascent of the Mongol people, which, through the political and military genius of Genghis Khan, overwhelmed and subdued the nations of most of the world. It demonstrates the transformation of barbarous nomads into the most efficient rulers of their time and describes the crumbling of their vast empire and the assumption of its legacy by the formerly subjugated China and Russia. Maurice Collis in Time and Tide said of The Mongol Empire: "It has the rare merit of being both scholarly and exciting...The entire world comes on to his canvas, romantic and fantastical persons pass in our view, and at the conclusion we realize that we have seen the whole of what Marco Polo saw only in part. " while The Observer commented, "it is a fine book, full of dramatic occasion well used, clear in proportions."
