Book Synopsis Damn Bunch of Cripples by : Lew Shaver
Download or read book Damn Bunch of Cripples written by Lew Shaver and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-09 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was sitting in a small upstairs room attempting to write this narrative of my education in disability awareness. For over 30 years I have been involved in working with individuals with disabilities as a coach and administrator on the intercollegiate, national and international levels. When I started this journey, at a small, Midwestern University, I had no idea of what I was getting myself into. Now that I have traveled this educational path I have come to realize that it may have been one of the most important learning experiences of my life, an experience I feel needs to be shared. In putting this narrative together, one very real issue I struggled with was how to deal with the present climate of political correctness. My decision was to tell the stories as I remember them, in the language as I remember. To do differently would change and compromise the actual experience. Thus, this is a sharing of feelings and experiences that a coach and his athletes spent in timeless hours in a gym practicing and competing, of thousands of miles traveled throughout the United States and beyond, and days and nights spent together in laughter and frustration.

Download or read book Death is a Dream written by E.C. Tubb and published by Gateway. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain, years after the Debacle, and a new London has risen phoenix-like from near the ashes. Though Londoners have retained their physical purity through the ruthless destruction of generations of mutants, man is no longer the same, and society crueller. Cynicism and a whole-hearted recognition of the absolute power of money has replaced humanism, and a belief in reincarnation has replaced religion and the old moral code of 'doing unto others . . .' The individual can exist, has a right to exist, only if he is selfish. Death is a Dream is the story of three survivors from the twentieth century who awake from suspended animation in The Cradle to find themselves unemployable, and unfit to live by virtue of their commitments to out-dated ideals. As well as being an investigation of the form society may take after an atomic war, it is, by association, an indictment of society as it is now.

Book Synopsis Disability Hate Crimes by : Mark Sherry

Book excerpt: Disability hate crimes are a global problem. They are often violent and hyper-aggressive, with life-changing effects on victims, and they send consistent messages of intolerance and bigotry. This ground-breaking book shows that disability hate crimes do exist, that they have unique characteristics which distinguish them from other hate crimes, and that more effective policies and practices can and must be developed to respond and prevent them. With particular focus on the UK and USA's contrasting response to this issue, this book will help readers to define hate crimes as well as place them within their wider social context. It discusses the need for legislative recognition and essential improvements on the reporting of incidents and assistance for individual victims of these crimes, as well as the need to address the social exclusion of disabled people and the negative attitudes surrounding their condition.

Cry of the Hunter: After joining the IRA, Martin Fallon shot up the ranks in the fight against the Brits in Northern Ireland with his tactical brilliance and fierce commitment. Then, after a daring escape from prison, he simply disappeared. After years of hiding from the world in his books and the bottle, he thinks he’s out. He’s wrong. The IRA wants him to break a high-ranking Ulster rebel out of prison. Fallon reluctantly agrees, but soon finds that in his absence, the IRA has changed. Those who wanted freedom have been replaced by bloodthirsty psychopaths who only crave power. Now, to save the country he loves, Fallon must turn on his own people. A Prayer for the Dying: There was a time when Martin Fallon had no problem killing for his IRA brethren, without remorse or regret. But when a mistake leads to the explosion of a school bus full of children, Fallon flees to London to hide with his guilt. His seclusion is broken when he agrees to make one last killing on behalf of the criminal Meehan brothers. But when the hit is witnessed by a priest, the Meehans want the clergyman dead too. In a desperate struggle for his soul, Fallon must protect the priest by fighting the ruthless Meehans as well as his former IRA comrades, who have decided that Fallon himself needs to be silenced. Made into a film starring Mickey Rourke as Fallon, A Prayer for the Dying is a “tough . . . superbly written” thriller (The New York Times Book Review).
