Paul Currie Williamson was born in 1927 in Boston, raised in Hanover, Massachusetts, graduated from Hanover High School, attended Thayer Academy, and then enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. He was a decorated combat veteran of the Korean conflict; a gunnery sergeant, a sharpshooter, and a survivor of the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir. In this book, he takes the reader through his life after the military. The Marine Corps had been the only god in his life, along with his M-1 rifle. When Christ intervened Paul was forty-eight years old, living under an alias, driving a stolen 18-wheeler and otherwise falling down a dark path. This book is the fruit of many thousands of hours of study with the Holy Spirit revealing the progression of God's plan for the end of the age. This is his testimony, enveloped and interwoven with God's Word.
From a Pulitzer Prize finalist, a devastating exploration of the racial disparities in violent death and injury in America and a blueprint for ending this fundamental social injustice
In the United States today, a young black man has a sixteen times greater chance of dying from violence than his white counterpart. Violence takes more years of life from black men than cancer, stroke, and diabetes combined. Even black women are more affected by violence than white men, despite its usual gender patterns. These disparities translate into starkly divergent experiences of life and death for whites and blacks in the United States. Yet aside from occasional flare-ups of violence that periodically hit the headlines, the problem has largely receded into the background of public discussion and has nearly disappeared as a target of public policy.
The country has been understandably outraged by the recent spate of police shootings of black Americans. But as acclaimed criminologist Elliott Currie points out, the far more widespread problem of "everyday" violent death and injury in black communities has received much less sustained attention or concern. Yet both kinds of violence reflect the same underlying condition: the continuing marginality and structural disadvantage of many black communities in America today. Our unwillingness to confront those conditions helps to perpetuate a level of preventable trauma and needless suffering that has no counterpart anywhere in the developed world.
Compelling and accessible, drawing on a rich array of both classic and contemporary research, A Peculiar Indifference describes the dimensions and consequences of this enduring emergency, explores its causes, and offers an urgent plea for long-overdue social action to end it.

Описание:
To the watching world, Princess Alina has it all--maids to serve her, a kingdom to revere her, a prince to marry her, and a wardrobe filled with enough frills, flounces, and shades of pink to rival a flower shop. But behind the smiles and designer clothes, Alina has a secret. She's barely holding it together.
After a moment of panic almost ends in tragedy, Alina is sent to a refuge far from the palace to recuperate. Her family claims it's for her own good but--faced with cows, knife-beaked ducks, and far too many of her own insecurities--Alina is pretty sure it will kill her first. And Joha Samson, infuriating man that he is, will laugh as it does.
Only there's more to Joha than she realizes, and more to herself too. When the time comes to make a stand, will she find the courage?
