Book excerpt: When a gambling magnate comes into possession of the original 17th century deed to Manhattan and uses it to bargain for a casino in the heart of New York City, the stage is set for a devastating blow to the presidential aspirations of the Governor and an economic meltdown of the State of New York. Caught in the ensuing turmoil is Senate staffer Jack Carnavan, a seasoned political pro with integrity rarely found in the tough game of politics. When Carnavan's boss, a Senate leader whose twisted fantasies are catered to by his power-lusting secretary, ends up on the wrong side of the Governor's ambition, egos and lobbyist influence force Carnavan into a career-shattering situation. But when a moralistic Senator and his conservative followers seek to use the gambling issue to nullify the Governor and his presidential hopes, a chance encounter by Carnavan uncovers a scandal that could devastate the Senate and the entire administration. In a stunning climax, Carnavan bends the moral rules and shows that when the stakes are high, politics truly is a blood sport.

Book excerpt: Life smiles on Connie Brandon: law degree nearly in hand, a loving husband and two wonderful kids, a vibrant faith in God in a quiet Missouri town. But her quiet family life is rocked when her husband, Jack, turns up dead in the Missouri River -- a suicide, police say -- and then another woman claims to have been his mistress. Although grief-stricken, Connie's sharp legal mind locks on to the belief that her husband was murdered for his staunch opposition to riverboat gambling in the Missouri capital of Jefferson City. Yet as she searches for the truth, secrets about Jack emerge -- secrets of a past cloaked in riddles and danger; secrets that threaten her faith and her life unless she can piece it all together in time.

Book A House on Fire

    Book Details:
  • Author : John A. Jackson
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2004-11-15
  • ISBN : 0190287659
  • Pages : 368 pages

Download or read book A House on Fire written by John A. Jackson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-11-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If You Don't Know Me By Now," "The Love I Lost," "The Soul Train Theme," "Then Came You," "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now"--the distinctive music that became known as Philly Soul dominated the pop music charts in the 1970s. In A House on Fire, John A. Jackson takes us inside the musical empire created by Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff, and Thom Bell, the three men who put Philadelphia Soul on the map. Here is the eye-opening story of three of the most influential and successful music producers of the seventies. Jackson shows how Gamble, Huff, and Bell developed a black recording empire second only to Berry Gordy's Motown, pumping out a string of chart-toppers from Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, the Spinners, the O'Jays, the Stylistics, and many others. The author underscores the endemic racism of the music business at that time, revealing how the three men were blocked from the major record companies and outlets in Philadelphia because they were black, forcing them to create their own label, sign their own artists, and create their own sound. The sound they created--a sophisticated and glossy form of rhythm and blues, characterized by crisp, melodious harmonies backed by lush, string-laden orchestration and a hard-driving rhythm section--was a glorious success, producing at least twenty-eight gold or platinum albums and thirty-one gold or platinum singles. But after their meteoric rise and years of unstoppable success, their production company finally failed, brought down by payola, competition, a tough economy, and changing popular tastes. Funky, groovy, soulful--Philly Soul was the classic seventies sound. A House on Fire tells the inside story of this remarkable musical phenomenon.

Book Rap Capital

Download or read book Rap Capital written by Joe Coscarelli and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From mansions to trap houses, office buildings to strip clubs, Atlanta is defined by its rap music. But this flashy and fast-paced world is rarely seen below surface-level as a collection not of superheroes and villains, cartoons and caricatures, but of flawed and inspired individuals all trying to get a piece of what everyone else seems to have. In artistic, commercial, and human terms, Atlanta rap represents the most consequential musical ecosystem of this century so far. Rap Capital tells the dramatic stories of the people who make it tick, and the city that made them that way."--

Michener details the reckless gamble U.S. voters make every four years: trusting the electoral college. In 1968, Michener served as a presidential elector in Pennsylvania. What he witnessed that fall disturbed him so much that he felt compelled to expose the very real potential in this system for a grave injustice with history-altering consequences.
