Download or read book The Riot written by Laura Wilson and published by Felony & Mayhem Press. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A crime narrative of great authority . . . extremely evocative” from the award-winning author of A Willing Victim (Financial Times). This is the fifth volume in the award-winning Inspector Ted Stratton series, which opened during the London Blitz (with The Innocent Spy) and has now landed in the rainy summer of 1958. Detective Inspector Stratton is investigating the death of a rent collector—never a popular personage—in Notting Hill, a district seething with tensions between the new Caribbean immigrants and their white, working-class neighbors. Stratton has his suspicions, but a second body makes it clear: Race is at the heart of these murders. Like the rest of the series, The Riot is based on real events and characters, on which Wilson sheds new and revealing light. A compelling mystery and a fascinating dive into the London of the late 1950s, complete with cameo appearances by a few notorious celebrities. Praise for the Inspector Stratton series “Laura Wilson is an exceptional talent . . . A terrific police procedural, a mesmerizing historical novel—few writers working today can deliver this kind one-two punch.” —Laura Lippman, New York Times bestselling author “Outstanding . . . Wilson convincingly evokes what it was like to sleep in a bomb shelter or stumble through shattered London streets in the dark. The characters are convincing, too.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Wilson is as adroit at the straightforward mechanics of the crime mystery as she is at evocative prose shot through with a keen sense of the past.” —Independent

Book Synopsis This Brutal House by : Niven Govinden
Download or read book This Brutal House written by Niven Govinden and published by Deep Vellum Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set across the arc of an active protest and the lives behind it – a group of silent Mothers, and one of their children now working for the city – This Brutal House explores a group’s resilience, trauma, and determination to hold truth to power. On the steps of New York's City Hall, five aging Mothers sit in silent protest. They are the guardians of the Ballroom community - queer men who opened their hearts and homes to countless lost children, providing safe spaces for them to explore their true selves. Through epochs of city nightlife, from draconian to liberal, the Children have been going missing; their absences ignored by the authorities and uninvestigated by the police. In a final act of dissent the Mothers have come to pray: to expose their personal struggle beneath our age of protest, and commemorate their loss until justice is served. Watching from City Hall's windows is city clerk, Teddy. Raised by the Mothers, he is now charged with brokering an uneasy truce. With echoes of James Baldwin, Marilynne Robinson and Rachel Kushner, Niven Govinden asks what happens when a generation remembered for a single, lavish decade has been forced to grow up, and what it means to be a parent in a confused and complex society.

Book excerpt: A systematic soft cover reading scheme book with coloured, detailed and comical illustrations on all 99 pages. The book begins with single words presented on a blank page with a colourful illustration for the child to read out loud. The single words gradually develop into short simple sentences made up entirely from target words for the child to read out loud alone. Interleaved with the simple sentence pages, is a story about the adventures of the main characters as they travel around Malta. These story pages are designed to be read out by the adult to the point where a new target word needs to be learned. These pages of story gradually include the learned target words which are printed in bold for the adult to pause at for the child to read out aloud so that paired reading takes place. The first time a target word appears on the simple sentence pages or the adult read story it will be printed at the bottom of the page. The book is intended to be used with the free Memory/flash cards which can be downloaded from Marco the Malta Bus website. According to research, 16 words included in this first reading book make up 25% of all the words in a typical book.

Book Synopsis The Secret Life of Uri Geller by : Jonathan Margolis
Download or read book The Secret Life of Uri Geller written by Jonathan Margolis and published by Watkins Media Limited. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Biography Shows Celebrity Spoon Bender, Uri Geller, Secretly Worked for U.S. Intelligence Agencies This authorized biography of Uri Geller tells his life story and explores recent claims about his clandestine work with the CIA and the Israeli intelligence agency, the Mossad, during and after the Cold War. Geller is best-known for his Vegas-style act where he bends spoons, describes hidden drawings, and performs other paranormal feats. Technology journalist and former Time magazine correspondent, Jonathan Margolis, worked alongside Geller and Oscar-winning filmmaker Vikram Jayanti on the book, to be published October 15th Jayanti debuted a documentary at the Sheffield (UK) Film Festival commissioned by the BBC and entitled, The Secret Life of Uri Geller: Psychic Spy? Jayanti directed the Muhammad Ali documentary, When We Were Kings. “Now there is the internet and the NSA's ability to monitor massive amounts of chatter around the world,” says Margolis. “40 years ago, however, intelligence agencies needed to explore way-out ways of monitoring the bad guys. The people I interviewed on-the-record for the book were adamant that Uri Geller wasn’t only able to gather secret information remotely and perform other espionage tasks, but was extremely good at it.” Throughout his career, Uri Geller has courted controversy. He is known globally as an entertainer and friend of pop star, Michael Jackson, who was best man at the renewal of Geller’s wedding vows. He also made millions as a psychic adviser to the oil industry, but as a paranormalist was humiliated in a 1974 appearance on ‘The Tonight Show’ with Johnny Carson. And yet there are photographs from 1987 of Geller together with Al Gore, Yuli M. Vorontsov, First Deputy Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union, and several other high ranking US officials at nuclear arms limitation talks between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. What was Geller doing in these pictures? Margolis brings proof that Geller was there at the invitation of the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee to influence Vorontsov‘s to sign the treaty. There is also new testimony from a living senior former CIA official and others who worked for the Agency confirming that Geller was exhaustively laboratory tested on behalf of the CIA, and was used as an intelligence asset of the CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency – and that under President Carter’s presidency, using psychics in intelligence matters was known about and accepted at the White House. Michael Mann, publisher at large for Watkins, said: “Uri is world-famous for mind reading and spoon bending but his work with the CIA and Mossad during the 60s and 70s as well as, it seems, in post 9/11 times, has until now remained secret. The Secret Life of Uri Geller tells the real story of his extraordinary life and his alleged continuing undercover work for the West’s major spy agencies.”
