Download or read book A Cultural Dictionary of Punk written by Nicholas Rombes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neither a dry-as-dust reference volume recycling the same dull facts nor a gushy, gossipy puff piece, A Cultural Dictionary of Punk: 1974-1982 is a bold book that examines punk as a movement that is best understood by placing it in its cultural field. It contains myriad critical-listening descriptions of the sounds of the time, but also places those sounds in the context of history. Drawing on hundreds of fanzines, magazines, and newspapers, the book is-in the spirit of punk-an obsessive, exhaustively researched, and sometimes deeply personal portrait of the many ways in which punk was an artistic, cultural, and political expression of defiance. A Cultural Dictionary of Punk is organized around scores of distinct entries, on everything from Lester Bangs to The Slits, from Jimmy Carter to Minimalism, from 'Dot Dash' to Bad Brains. Both highly informative and thrillingly idiosyncratic, the book takes a fresh look at how the malaise of the 1970s offered fertile ground for punk-as well as the new wave, post-punk, and hardcore-to emerge as a rejection of the easy platitudes of the dying counter-culture. The organization is accessible and entertaining: short bursts of meaning, in tune with the beat of punk itself. Rombes upends notions that the story of punk can be told in a chronological, linear fashion. Meant to be read straight through or opened up and experienced at random, A Cultural Dictionary of Punk covers not only many of the well-known, now-legendary punk bands, but the obscure, forgotten ones as well. Along the way, punk's secret codes are unraveled and a critical time in history is framed and exclaimed. Visit the Cultural Dictionaryof Punk blog here.

Book excerpt: Jonestown. Maybe there will be a time when the future forgets the narcissistic money-making machine that was the 'Peoples Temple, ' founded in Indiana by the Reverend Jim Jones, nurtured in Ukiah, triumphant in San Francisco, and finally destroyed in the violent, poisonous bloodbath of nearly a thousand people - over a third of them children - on November 18th, 1978, in Jonestown, Guyana, after it had long begun to resemble systematized slavery overseen by the drug-bathed megalomania of the same Reverend Jim Jones and his brutal inner circle. But that time has not yet come. The Reverend Jynona Norwood and some determined survivors of Jonestown keep the ugly memory of the Peoples Temple alive every year in a memorial service held at the Evergreen Cemetery in Oakland, California, on the anniversary of the Jonestown atrocity. 'Jungle Rot: Jonestown, an American Holocaust' seeks to do much the same thing in print, telling the story of the final days of the Peoples Temple in Jonestown, where the black residents toiled long hours amid unforgiving jungle conditions, to be rewarded with ever-worsening food and ever more cruel torture, brainwashing and harassment imposed on them at gunpoint by the Reverend Jim Jones and his almost exclusively white inner circle. As the sign prominently displayed in Jonestown so correctly warned: "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Download or read book Fighting to Win written by Bob Vogel and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2001 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How a lone Florida Sheriff fought the U.S. Justice Department--and won! The amazing career of Bob Vogel began in the Florida Highway Patrol, where he personally took over billion dollars in street value of drugs off the market in just three years. Bob tells his story about the war on drugs, on the controversial practice of profiling, and about his years-long battle to prove that his law enforcement efforts were both lawful and prudent. His results helped stem the flow of drugs north and south up Interstate 95 for a number of years, and he was featured on 60 Minutes for his remarkable record. Bob Vogel had taken the upper hand in the fight against drugs. Word in the drug trade spread - avoid Volusia County. His office and officers received numerous citations for a job well done. What should have followed was thankful support from the local media, the state of Florida and even the U.S. Justice Department. Despite full clearance by two separate FBI investigations and a Governor's Panel, and further vindication from a judge who tossed out a class action lawsuit for lack of evidence, two Department of Justice attorneys spent more than two years investigating Sheriff Vogel and his office, at a cost of millions to taxpayers. Fighting to Win is Bob Vogel's own story of his nightmarish odyssey against forces he never dreamed he'd have to battle. But, as he will tell you throughout this compelling chronicle of his career, when you have right on your side you will ultimately triumph.

Download or read book Morning Star Midnight Sun written by Jeffrey Cox and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the disastrous Java Sea campaign, the Allies went on the offensive in the Pacific in a desperate attempt to halt the Japanese forces that were rampaging across the region. With the conquest of Australia a very real possibility, the stakes were high. Their target: the Japanese-held Solomon Islands, in particular the southern island of Guadalcanal. Hamstrung by arcane pre-war thinking and a bureaucratic mind-set, the US Navy had to adapt on the fly in order to compete with the mighty Imperial Japanese Navy, whose ingenuity and creativity thus far had fostered the creation of its Pacific empire. Starting with the amphibious assault on Savo Island, the campaign turned into an attritional struggle where the evenly matched foes sought to grind out a victory. Following on from his hugely successful book Rising Sun, Falling Skies, Jeffrey R. Cox tells the gripping story of the first Allied offensive of the Pacific War, as they sought to prevent Japan from cutting off Australia and regaining dominance in the Pacific.
