Download or read book Newtown written by Matthew Lysiak and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the vein of Dave Cullen's Columbine, the first comprehensive account of the Sandy Hook tragedy--with exclusive new reporting that chronicles the horrific events of December 14, 2012, including new insight into the dark mind of gunman Adam Lanza. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and a decade's worth of emails from Lanza's mother to close friends that chronicled his slow slide into mental illness, Newtown pieces together the perfect storm that led to this unspeakable act of violence that shattered so many lives. Newtown explores the two central theories that have permeated the media since the attack: some claim Lanza suffered from severe mental illness, while others insist that, far from being a random act of insanity, this was a meticulously thought out, premeditated attack at least two years in the making by a violent video-gamer so obsessed with "glory kills" and researching mass murderers that he was willing to go to any length to attain the top score. Lanza's dark descent from a young boy with adjustment disorders to a calculating killer is interwoven with the Newtown massacre as it unfolded at the time, told from the points of view of eye witnesses, survivors, parents of victims, first responders, and Adam's relatives. A definitive account of a tragedy that shook a nation, Newtown features exclusive material including initial misinformation reported by the media and commentary on how this catastrophic event became a lightning rod for political agendas, much like Columbine did more than a decade ago"--

Download or read book Newtown written by Daniel Cruson and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1997-11-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Included in this collection are some of the earliest photographs ever taken of Newtown. In addition, Newtown shows some of the earliest views of the outlying farming and industrial communities such as Berkshire, Botsford, and Hawleyville. Many images also recall the town's career as a resort town--from the earliest Main Street hotels to the teahouses that sprang up as the automobile grew in popularity. We also visit the summer recreation communities that developed on Lake Zoar in the 1920s and 1930s. A whole chapter deals with the pivotal role that the railroad played in the growth of Newtown. In addition, there is considerable coverage of the War Maneuvers of 1912, which were conducted all over the eastern portion of the town and finally centered on Castle Hill just west of Main Street. Newtown includes many photographs newly developed from glass negatives and several recently discovered photographs of great significance. These are all being published here for the first time by Mr. Cruson, a trustee of the Newtown Historical Society, town historian, and president of the Archaeological Society of Connecticut.

Download or read book Newtown Creek written by Anthony Hamboussi and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once a tidal creek meandering through marshlands rich in herbs, grasses, fish, waterfowl, and oysters, Newtown Creek today is a toxic cesspool that brings up raw sewage every time it rains. A tributary of New York's East River that forms part of the border between Brooklyn and Queens, Newtown Creek has long been at the heart of the city's "industrial backyard," serving as home to numerous industries, storage/warehouse facilities, waste transfer stations, and power plants, and as the dumping ground for unwanted byproducts and toxic waste. Site of a 17-million-gallon underground oil spill that still contaminates the area, Newtown Creek is currently under consideration by the Environmental Protection Agency for designation as a Superfund site, but the creek, whose waterfront is for the most part inaccessible to the public, is still largely unknown to residents and visitors of New York alike. Newtown Creek: A Photographic Survey of New York's Industrial Waterfront is an extensive documentation of this forgotten landscape that shows the evolution of the built environment over five years in more than 230 images. Photographer Anthony Hamboussi followed the creek through the neighborhoods of Hunter's Point, Greenpoint, and Bushwick, shooting over fences and gates where he could not gain access, to record the bare industrial landscape. From the ruins of Morgan Oil and the Newtown Metal Corporation, to the construction of the new water treatment facility, to the footprints of the former Maspeth gas holders, Hamboussi recorded sites that may soon undergo further transformations. His survey captures the creek at a moment in time when gentrification and revitalization are just starting to change the area, providing a glimpse into the history of industrial New York. An insightful essay by Paul Parkhill puts Hamboussi's work into context.
