Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johnny is different. He is never exactly on time, he can't seem to stick to a routine and he often speaks in cryptic idioms. Johnny is neurotypical, but that's ok. A picture book with a difference, Why Johnny Doesn't Flap turns the tables on common depictions of neurological difference by drolly revealing how people who are not on the autistic spectrum are perceived by those who are. The autistic narrator's bafflement at his neurotypical friend's quirks shows that 'normal' is simply a matter of perspective.

Download or read book Handsome Johnny written by Lee Server and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich biography of the legendary figure at the center of the century’s darkest secrets: an untold story of golden age Hollywood, modern Las Vegas, JFK-era scandal and international intrigue from Lee Server, the New York Times bestselling author of Ava Gardner: Love is Nothing... A singular figure in the annals of the American underworld, Johnny Rosselli’s career flourished for an extraordinary fifty years, from the bloody years of bootlegging in the Roaring Twenties--the last protégé of Al Capone—to the modern era of organized crime as a dominant corporate power. The Mob’s “Man in Hollywood,” Johnny Rosselli introduced big-time crime to the movie industry, corrupting unions and robbing moguls in the biggest extortion plot in history. A man of great allure and glamour, Rosselli befriended many of the biggest names in the movie capital—including studio boss Harry Cohn, helping him to fund Columbia Pictures--and seduced some of its greatest female stars, including Jean Harlow and Marilyn Monroe. In a remarkable turn of events, Johnny himself would become a Hollywood filmmaker—producing two of the best film noirs of the 1940s. Following years in federal prison, Rosselli began a new venture, overseeing the birth and heyday of Las Vegas. Working for new Chicago boss Sam Giancana, he became the gambling mecca’s behind-the-scenes boss, running the town from his suites and poolside tables at the Tropicana and Desert Inn, enjoying the Rat Pack nightlife with pals Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. In the 1960s, in the most unexpected chapter in an extraordinary life, Rosselli became the central figure in a bizarre plot involving the Kennedy White House, the CIA, and an attempt to assassinate Fidel Castro. Based upon years of research, written with compelling style and vivid detail, Handsome Johnny is the great telling of an amazing tale.

Download or read book Johnny Cash and the Paradox of American Identity written by Leigh H. Edwards and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-25 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his career, Johnny Cash has been depicted—and has depicted himself—as a walking contradiction: social protestor and establishment patriot, drugged wildman and devout Christian crusader, rebel outlaw hillbilly thug and elder statesman. Leigh H. Edwards explores the allure of this paradoxical image and its cultural significance. She argues that Cash embodies irresolvable contradictions of American identity that reflect foundational issues in the American experience, such as the tensions between freedom and patriotism, individual rights and nationalism, the sacred and the profane. She illustrates how this model of ambivalence is a vital paradigm for American popular music, and for American identity in general. Making use of sources such as Cash's autobiographies, lyrics, music, liner notes, and interviews, Edwards pays equal attention to depictions of Cash by others, such as Vivian Cash's publication of his letters to her, documentaries and music journalism about him, Walk the Line, and fan club materials found in the archives at the Country Music Foundation in Nashville, to create a full portrait of Cash and his significance as a cultural icon.

Book excerpt: He is known as Johnny Montana. It is the name given to him by his fellow miners in the Redhawk mining district. Those working have been able to accumulate sizable caches of gold dust. The problem for the miners is how to get their gold out of the district. Brett Cutter and his gang of Cut-throats watch the roads and byways for miners trying to leave. Vacating miners are attacked and usually left dead after having been stripped of their gold. It is in the center of this growing tension and the certainty that their claim will soon be attacked that Johnny Montana’s mining partners agree that the best way to ward off an attack is for one of them to take out their gold on a packhorse. But the plan goes awry. No sooner has Johnny begun his desperate journey than behind him he hears the sounds of their camp being attacked by the Cut-throats. There will be pursuit, and he is only one against a horde of bloodthirsty thieves. Michael Zimmer is no stranger to a gripping Western story, and Johnny Montana may be his best yet, a wild ride of revenge, greed, and survival in the Wild West.

Book excerpt: What happens when a vicious mafia solider has an unshakable alliance with the three biggest crime syndicates? Traveling the world ignites the spirit but navigating the cultural underworld of organized crime could steal your soul. From the ghettos in China to the international brotherhood of the Russian mafia and from the Colombian cartel to the crew who run the streets of Harlem, their crimes reach across the globe as the world witnesses their chilling trail of corruption, extortion, scams and murder. The catalyst to it all is Giovanni Bassemo aka Johnny Angel. Greed, deceit and betrayal at every turn threaten to break their strategic alliances. Their secret societies mix fear and violence with a manipulative genius rivaled only by their collective minds, resulting in higher and higher stakes. Their ruthless reaping of money, power and prestige destroys the lives of everyone who gets in their way. JOHNNY ANGEL is a raw, insider's look at the inner workings of the five biggest ethnic organized crime groups in the world. Boris Alekseyev aka The Fighter leads the Izmaylovskaya Gang (Russian Mafia). Meng Chang aka Lee is the leader of the Tongs (Chinese Mafia). Hector Lopez aka Yankee is the Colombian Cartel's main man in the USA. Mark Owens aka Apollo rules Harlem. Johnny Angel who women love and men fear is the traditional Italian Mafia captain and core connection to the other leaders. Their bonds from childhood are unshakable. Their ruthlessness is unparalleled. The plotting against Johnny shrouds him as the treachery thickens. The calmness of his response comes full circle in the brilliant yet vengeful counter-attack as he turns the tables on all of his conspiring killers. Johnny Angel is one of a series of four.

Download or read book Johnny Lewis written by Paul Kent and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2011-03-04 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the night Jeff Harding came back to the corner at the end of the eleventh, behind on all three judges' cards and bleeding around both eyes, his nose long broken. As Lewis cleaned the cuts he quickly poured everything that was important into his ear. Then he picked him up from his stool with one last instruction: 'Go out and come back champion of the world ...' Over the past thirty years Johnny Lewis has trained six world champions, among them some of the greatest names in the sport; Jeff Fenech, Kostya Tszyu and, yes, Jeff Harding. Yet he is known for much more than that. For a wisdom that stems from his childhood growing up in Erskineville, where he mixed with hustlers and hard men and, in his words, never met a bad bloke. Now, in his authorised biography, we learn why Johnny Lewis is not only Australia's greatest ever fight trainer, but why he is a winner, and why those around him are winners. Why his lessons of the gym hold true outside the ring.

Download or read book Johnny Kling written by Gil Bogen and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2006-01-24 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the view of contemporary players and sportswriters, Chicago Cub Johnny Kling was one of the greatest catchers of all time. A strong batter, Kling was even better behind the plate, where his strong arm, quick reactions, and even his chatter harried the opposition. He was by all accounts an indispensable part of Cubs teams that won four National League pennants and two World Series titles between 1906 and 1910. Yet today he is remembered by historians as a player at the center of two unresolved questions: Was Johnny Kling's absence from baseball in 1909--during the prime of his career--the result of a salary holdout? And was he Jewish? This heavily researched biography ends the debate over those questions while restoring Kling to his place among the greats at his position. It covers in detail his exploits on and off the field (which included a world billiards championship in 1909) and his life after his playing career ended, when he became a philanthropist and gentleman farmer. The foreword is provided by Ernie Banks.
