Описание:
A group of female lawyers, law clerks and paralegals band together in a search for justice after they have been the victims of sexual abuse by their male counterparts. Their goal is to have their abusers resign from the practice of law. They are mentored by a retired California Superior Court Judge, who also operates a murder-for-hire operation from his home. The Judge convinces the group to change their name from the Female Optimization Group to the Face of God with nefarious intentions. When 3 of his top assassins are marked for death, each with a contract to kill the other 2, they join forces to answer the question: Why? Meanwhile, Roger Legion takes on a bad faith insurance case that threatens to destroy not only an insurance company, but also Roger Legion's reputation. All questions are answered and situations resolved at an event that will come to be known as 'The Battle at Rancho Santa Fe.'
Описание: A remnant of the racist post-Reconstruction Redeemer sociopolitical agenda, Louisiana's nonunanimous jury-verdict law permitted juries to convict criminal defendants with only nine, and later ten, out of twelve votes: a legal oddity. On the surface, it was meant to speed convictions. In practice, the law funneled many convicts—especially African Americans—into Louisiana's burgeoning convict lease system. Although it faced multiple legal challenges through the years, the law endured well after convict leasing had ended. Few were aware of its existence, let alone its original purpose. In fact, the original publication of Jim Crow's Last Stand was one of the first attempts to call attention to the historical injustice caused by this law. This updated edition of Jim Crow's Last Stand unpacks the origins of the statute in Bourbon Louisiana, traces its survival through the civil rights era, and ends with the successful effort to overturn the nonunanimous jury practice, a policy that officially went into effect on January 1, 2019.

The debate between W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington on how to further social and economic progress for African Americans lasted 20 years, from 1895 to Washington's death in 1915. Their ongoing conversation evolved over time, becoming fiercer and more personal as the years progressed. But despite its complexities and steadily accumulating bitterness, it was still, at its heart, a conversation--an impassioned contest at the turn of the century to capture the souls of black folk.
This book focuses on the conversation between Washington and Du Bois in order to fully examine its contours. It serves as both a document reader and an authored text that enables readers to perceive how the back and forth between these two individuals produced a cacophony of ideas that made it anything but a bipolar debate, even though their expressed differences would ultimately shape the two dominant strains of activist strategy. The numerous chapters on specific topics and historical events follow a preface that presents an overview of both the conflict and its historiographical treatment; evaluates the legacies of both Washington and Du Bois, emphasizing the trajectories of their theories beyond 1915; and provides an explanation of the unique structure of the work.

Model Airplanes are Decadent and Depraved tells the story of the American glue-sniffing epidemic of the 1960s, from the first reports of use to the unsuccessful crusade for federal legislation in the early 1970s. The human obsession with inhalation for intoxication has deep roots, from the oracle at Delphi to Judaic biblical ritual. The discovery of nitrous oxide, ether, and chloroform in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and the later development of paint thinners, varnishes, lighter fluid, polishes, and dry-cleaning supplies provided a variety of publicly available products with organic solvents that could be inhaled for some range of hallucinogenic or intoxicating effect. Model airplane glue was one of those products, but did not appear in warnings until the first reports of problematic behavior appeared in 1959, when children in several western cities were arrested for delinquency after huffing glue. Newspaper coverage both provided the initial shot across the bow for research into the subject and convinced children to give it a try. This "epidemic" quickly spread throughout the nation and the world. Though the hobby industry began putting an irritant in its model glue products in 1969 to make them less desirable to sniff, that wasn't what stopped the epidemic. Just as quickly as it erupted, the epidemic stopped when the media coverage and public hysteria stopped, making it one of the most unique epidemics in American history. The nation's focus drifted from adolescent glue sniffing to the countercultural student movement, with its attendant devotion to drug use, opposition to the Vietnam War, southern race policies, and anti-bureaucracy in general. This movement came to embody a tumultuous era fraught with violence, civil disobedience, and massive sea changes in American life and law—glue sniffing faded by comparison.

Описание: Beloved stage and screen actor Danny Aiello's big-hearted memoir reveals a man of passion, integrity, and guts--and lays bare one of the most unlikely success stories ever told. Danny Aiello admits that he backed into his acting career by mistake. That's easy to see when you begin at the beginning: raised by his loving and fiercely resilient mother in the tenements of Manhattan and the South Bronx, and forever haunted by the death of his infant brother, Danny struggled early on to define who he was and who he could be. It wasn't until he took to the stage in the wee hours to belt out standards that Danny Aiello found his voice and his purpose: he was born to act. Performing in converted churches and touring companies led to supporting roles in such films as The Godfather: Part II and Moonstruck, and an Oscar nomination for his role as the embattled Salvatore in Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing. For a guy who had never set foot in an acting class, this was supreme validation for being an outsider who followed his heart. In a raw and real chronicle of his gritty urban past, Danny Aiello looks back with appreciation, amusement, and frank disbelief at his unconventional road to success. He offers candid observations on working with luminary directors Francis Ford Coppola, Woody Allen, and Robert Altman, among others, and a vast roster of actors, including Robert De Niro, Paul Newman, Madonna, Cher, and Lauren Bacall. He opens up about friends he loved, friends he lost, and the professional relationships that weren't meant to be. Above all, Danny Aiello imparts a life lesson straight out of his own experience to anyone who's ever felt like an outsider: It's never too late to become who you want to be, to find happiness and fulfillment, and to embrace the winding road to get there.

Описание: Sciavuru vuol dire "profumo". La semplicit ha un profumo intenso, che inebria il cuore, lo fa sbandare e lo allontana dai ritmi frenetici imposti dalla competitivit e dagli egoismi. I Sciavuri sono quei ricordi della mia infanzia, che hanno fatto s che scegliessi la semplicit come valore da seguire .Questo libro composto da quattro racconti ed in uno di essi, 'u Lupunaru, ho ripercorso proprio le tappe della mia bellissima adolescenza vissuta nella borgata marinara di Sferracavallo (Palermo). Gli altri tre racconti sono frutto della mia fantasia, come "il commissario di Sferranatale"; nel quale mi sono divertito ad inventare la figura di commissario atipico che svolge la sua professione in un posto pieno di contraddizioni.
