Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bush administration left this country in a state of economic recession and a grim tour of American History. The American people are struggling to survive by reinventing ourselves through a sweeping historical event. Barack Obama is trying to restore America by promising "change" to make America regain its dignity by bailing out huge corporations and financial institutions with his stimulus plans. "Dear Mr. President" a letter written in form of a book addressing president Obama of his uncertainty leadership and what he is trying to achieve for the American people. This book is based solely on my beliefs, opinions, and how Americans have fallen along the wayside. We need to take back America because we have the power. Obama needs to restore our faith and trust in the government again and that is no easy task because politicians have to be willing to say things that have true meaning. This is a much bigger plan that you bargained for and I hope America will be strong again. To do this, we must be a community willing to look out for each other, helping those that are down, and giving a pathway to success.

With over 3,000 tours to his name and around 700 sales under his belt, Shaun has made many friendships in the business, not only with his fellow colleagues, but also with many of his clients, who kept coming back year after year to see him, (often to spend more money), after he had introduced them to the wonderful world of luxurious holidays.

Download or read book Penal Culture and Hyperincarceration written by Chris Cunneen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the various forces influencing the role of the prison in late modern societies? What changes have there been in penality and use of the prison over the past 40 years that have led to the re-valorization of the prison? Using penal culture as a conceptual and theoretical vehicle, and Australia as a case study, this book analyses international developments in penality and imprisonment. Authored by some of Australia’s leading penal theorists, the book examines the historical and contemporary influences on the use of the prison, with analyses of colonialism, post colonialism, race, and what they term the ’penal/colonial complex,’ in the construction of imprisonment rates and on the development of the phenomenon of hyperincarceration. The authors develop penal culture as an explanatory framework for continuity, change and difference in prisons and the nature of contested penal expansionism. The influence of transformative concepts such as ’risk management’, ’the therapeutic prison’, and ’preventative detention’ are explored as aspects of penal culture. Processes of normalization, transmission and reproduction of penal culture are seen throughout the social realm. Comparative, contemporary and historical in its approach, the book provides a new analysis of penality in the 21st century.

Download or read book Killing Goldfinger written by Wensley Clarkson and published by Quercus. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KILLING GOLDFINGER charts the extraordinary rise and spectacular bullet-riddled fall of John Palmer, the richest, most powerful criminal ever to have emerged from the modern British underworld. During the late 1990s, Palmer was rated as rich as The Queen by the Sunday Times Rich List. Palmer earned his nickname Goldfinger after smelting (in his back garden) tens of millions of pounds worth of stolen gold bullion from the 20th century's most lucrative heist; the Brink's-Mat robbery. Palmer then used his share of the millions to become the vicious overlord of a vast illegal timeshare property empire in Tenerife. At the same time, Goldfinger financed huge international drugs shipments as well as some of the most notorious UK robberies of the past 30 years, including the £50m Securitas heist in Kent in 2006 and, many believe, the Hatton Garden heist in 2015. Palmer vowed to hunt down all his underworld enemies. But in the end it was those same criminals who decided to bring his life to an end. Murdered in June 2015, with charges of fraud, money laundering and worse pending, this book tells his murky story for the first time. As outrageous and bullet-riddled as the hit Netflix series Narcos, Killing Goldfinger tells the true story of Britain's underworld kingpin, who turned the sunshine holiday island of Tenerife into his very own Crime Incorporated and then paid the ultimate price.
Download or read book The Accidental Immigrant written by David Bouchier and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2004-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transatlantic humorist David Bouchier brings wit, wisdom and a touch of philosophy to the everyday dramas of American suburban life. This book brings together more than a hundred essays, originally broadcast on National Public Radio, or published in his Out of Order column in the Sunday New York Times. When work and marriage brought David Bouchier to Long Island in 1986 the endless suburbs seemed mysterious and exotic to him. He was inspired to begin writing essays and newspaper columns about his life there - a personal and public diary of the Resident Alien experience. In 1992 a weekly public radio essay was added to the newspaper columns, and thousands of listeners still enjoy David's weekly radio broadcasts. These are the affectionate and sometimes acerbic observations of an Accidental Immigrant, who still finds life in America endlessly stimulating and wonderfully strange. David Bouchier's thoughts about love, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in the suburbs will make you smile, and make you think. Boring suburban rituals like lawn care mall shopping, wedding rehearsals, and barbecues will never seem the same again.
Download or read book Notional Identities written by Thomas Christie and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-18 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notional Identities takes up the challenge of engaging with the popular genres of speculative fiction and crime fiction by Scottish authors from the mid-1970s until the beginning of the twenty-first century, examining a variety of significant novels from across the decades in the light of wider considerations of ideology, genre and national identity. The book investigates the extent to which the national political and cultural climate of this tumultuous era informed the narrative form and social commentary of such works, and considers the manner in which—and the extent to which—a specific and identifiably Scottish response to these ideological matters can be identified in popular prose fiction during the period under discussion. Although Scottish literary fiction of recent decades has been studied in considerable depth, Scottish popular genre literature has received markedly less critical scrutiny in comparison. Notional Identities aims to help in redressing this balance, examining popular Scottish texts of the stated period in order to reflect upon whether a significant relationship can be discerned between genre fiction and the mainstream of Scottish literary writing, and to consider the characteristics of the literary connections which exist between these different modes of writing.
Download or read book The British on The Costa Del Sol written by Karen O'Reilly and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Brits in Spain' first achieved notoriety during the 1980s - popularly imagined as a group made up of exiled criminals, drunken hooligans and leathery looking pensioners - welcome to 'Little England'! The British on the Costa Del Sol is the very first book to study this British expatriate community in any great depth and, through use of interviews with members of this community, paints a far more complex picture of its members. In doing so the author explodes the popularly held stereotype of 'Brits in Spain'. What emerges is a rich account of who migrates, their reasons for migration and the day to day realities of expatriate life.

Download or read book The Early Morning Clapboarder written by Neville Wilson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-05 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this selection of poems written over a lifetime, Neville Wilson describes the human need for love. Finding himself in a world and time in which social values have disintegrated, he affirms a vision in which love is central, finally, as a wonderful consolation amid the trials, betrayals and brevity of life. In this vision, time is the inevitable enemy of modern man while being also his intimate friend and savior. The meaning of a life is revealed through moments of felt experience. Life and death, possibility and futility are presented in these moments as from the facets of a crystal. Love provides the significant moments that, he finds, give the most fulfilling aesthetic, spiritual, and sexual expression of the human need for meaning. The collection of poems is divided into four sections. I. Moments remembered can reveal the love between father and son, mother and family, husband and wife despite the opaqueness of the past. II. Aesthetic perceptions, particularly of artists, transform what we understand about life. III. The meaning that death has for life is explored through archetypes, politics, and family attitudes. IV. The triumphs and tragic waste of life is presented as lived in Kennebunkport, Maine.

The Gold is the conclusion of extensive research and includes exclusive testimony from one of the original robbers who gives his version of events for the first time. The result is the astonishing true story of the robbery of the century.
