Book excerpt: Bent for Brute is book 3 and the finale of the Dark Vultures MC trilogy! The brute only saved me so he could break me. I woke up in a strange city with no memory of how I got there. The biker found me, and took me in. But this motorcycle club is no safe haven. And there's a devil coming after me… determined to drag me to hell. Vera. I remember my name, but nothing else. And even if I didn't already have amnesia, the outlaw brute's burning eyes would have wiped my mind blank. When I'm looking into those dark irises, there's only him. Tall. Raw. Tatted. Powerful. Staring back and owning me with just a glance. Rascal never asked to be the man I turned to for answers. But something in my gut tells me I can trust him – even though his leather kutte and cocky swagger tell me I should be running in the other direction. I need him in more ways than I know. And after a night spent bending for him – serving him – begging him for just one more touch – it seems like I've lost everything… Only to find where I'm truly meant to be. But this unlikely paradise is about to come crashing down around me. Because there's someone else out there. Chasing me. Hunting me. And the phantoms of my past won't until they've consumed us all: Me. Rascal. And the baby in my belly.

Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Jurassic Park, Timeline, and Sphere comes a deeply personal memoir full of fascinating adventures as he travels everywhere from the Mayan pyramids to Kilimanjaro. Fueled by a powerful curiosity—and by a need to see, feel, and hear, firsthand and close-up—Michael Crichton's journeys have carried him into worlds diverse and compelling—swimming with mud sharks in Tahiti, tracking wild animals through the jungle of Rwanda. This is a record of those travels—an exhilarating quest across the familiar and exotic frontiers of the outer world, a determined odyssey into the unfathomable, spiritual depths of the inner world. It is an adventure of risk and rejuvenation, terror and wonder, as exciting as Michael Crichton's many masterful and widely heralded works of fiction.
Download or read book Brute written by Emily Skaja and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by Joy Harjo as the winner of the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets Emily Skaja’s debut collection is a fiery, hypnotic book that confronts the dark questions and menacing silences around gender, sexuality, and violence. Brute arises, brave and furious, from the dissolution of a relationship, showing how such endings necessitate self-discovery and reinvention. The speaker of these poems is a sorceress, a bride, a warrior, a lover, both object and agent, ricocheting among ways of knowing and being known. Each incarnation squares itself up against ideas of feminine virtue and sin, strength and vulnerability, love and rage, as it closes in on a hard-won freedom. Brute is absolutely sure of its capacity to insist not only on the truth of what it says but on the truth of its right to say it. “What am I supposed to say: I’m free?” the first poem asks. The rest of the poems emphatically discover new ways to answer. This is a timely winner of the Walt Whitman Award, and an introduction to an unforgettable voice.
Download or read book When Brute Force Fails written by Mark A. R. Kleiman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cost-effective methods for improving crime control in America Since the crime explosion of the 1960s, the prison population in the United States has multiplied fivefold, to one prisoner for every hundred adults—a rate unprecedented in American history and unmatched anywhere in the world. Even as the prisoner head count continues to rise, crime has stopped falling, and poor people and minorities still bear the brunt of both crime and punishment. When Brute Force Fails explains how we got into the current trap and how we can get out of it: to cut both crime and the prison population in half within a decade. Mark Kleiman demonstrates that simply locking up more people for lengthier terms is no longer a workable crime-control strategy. But, says Kleiman, there has been a revolution—largely unnoticed by the press—in controlling crime by means other than brute-force incarceration: substituting swiftness and certainty of punishment for randomized severity, concentrating enforcement resources rather than dispersing them, communicating specific threats of punishment to specific offenders, and enforcing probation and parole conditions to make community corrections a genuine alternative to incarceration. As Kleiman shows, "zero tolerance" is nonsense: there are always more offenses than there is punishment capacity. But, it is possible—and essential—to create focused zero tolerance, by clearly specifying the rules and then delivering the promised sanctions every time the rules are broken. Brute-force crime control has been a costly mistake, both socially and financially. Now that we know how to do better, it would be immoral not to put that knowledge to work.
