Book excerpt: Texas Ranger Lieutenant Jim Blawcyzk is hunting for outlaw Ned Scanlon. In order to track down the wily renegade, Blawcyzk will not only have to use all of his skills as a lawman, but will also have to confront the ghosts of his own past. Trail of The Renegade is a fast-paced novel of frontier Texas, where the Texas Rangers matched wits with outlaws throughout the length and breadth of the Lone Star State. Saunders rose from his cover, raced to the end of the building and leapt for the next roof. Jim spun and fired; his snap shot finding its mark, as the bullet ripped into Saunders side and lodged in a lung. Saunders twisted sideways from the impact of the lead, then thudded to the street. "It's just you and me now, Ranger!" Jim whirled to see Kip Barton emerge from the Spotted Dog. "I'm givin' you one last chance, lawman! You can turn and run, and mebbe I won't put a bullet in your back. That's the only way you won't die today." Deliberately, the youthful gunman slid his Colt .44 back in its holster. "There ain't a lawman alive man enough to take my gun!" Barton shouted, as Jim turned to face him. "We'll just have to find out," Jim quietly replied.
Download or read book Cosmopolitan Elites and the Making of Globality written by Leonie Wolters and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As ideologies such as communism, fascism and various nationalisms vied for global domination during the first half of the 20th century, this book shows how a specific group of individuals - a cosmopolitan elite - became representatives of those ideologies the world over. Centering on the Indian intellectual M.N Roy, Cosmopolitan Elites and the Making of Globality situates his life within various social circles that covered several ideological realms and continents. An example of an individual who represented ideologies such as anticolonial nationalism, communism and humanism, Roy is identified as unusual but by no means singular in this capacity, and shows how other elites were similarly able to represent ideologies that sought to make the world anew. This book explores how Roy and his peers and competitors became a political elite as they cultivated a cosmopolitan reputation that meant they were taken seriously even when speaking of regions outside of their own. By considering the social and performative practices that turned them into credible, global, cosmopolitans, Wolters uncovers the exclusive basis on which the universal claims of world-changing ideologies were made.

Download or read book Renegade Dreams written by Laurence Ralph and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inner city communities in the US have become junkyards of dreams, to quote Mike Daviswastelands where gangs package narcotics to stimulate the local economy, gunshots occur multiple times on any given day, and dreams of a better life can fade into the realities of poverty and disability. Laurence Ralph lived in such a community in Chicago for three years, conducting interviews and participating in meetings with members of the local gang which has been central to the community since the 1950s. Ralph discovered that the experience of injury, whether physical or social, doesn t always crush dreams into oblivion; it can transform them into something productive: renegade dreams. The first part of this book moves from a critique of the way government officials, as opposed to grandmothers, have been handling the situation, to a study of the history of the historic Divine Knights gang, to a portrait of a duo of gang members who want to be recognized as authentic rappers (they call their musical style crack music ) and the difficulties they face in exiting the gang. The second part is on physical disability, including being wheelchair bound, the prevalence of HIV/AIDS among heroin users, and the experience of brutality at the hands of Chicago police officers. In a final chapter, The Frame, Or How to Get Out of an Isolated Space, Ralph offers a fresh perspective on how to understand urban violence. The upshot is a total portrait of the interlocking complexities, symbols, and vicissitudes of gang life in one of the most dangerous inner city neighborhoods in the US. We expect this study will enjoy considerable readership, among anthropologists, sociologists, and other scholars interested in disability, urban crime, and race."

Download or read book The Devil Behind the Badge written by Rick Jervis and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A thrilling ticktock on the borderland slayings and the effort to solve them."—Texas Monthly The shocking true-crime story of a U.S. Border Patrol agent turned serial killer, the four sex workers whom he mercilessly killed, and the upended border town of Laredo where his heinous crimes occurred. Twelve days is all it took. Melissa Ramirez, Claudine Anne Luera, Guiselda Hernandez, and Janelle Ortiz were four marginalized women striving to make ends meet as sex workers. They looked out for one another. But they would soon share a connection that none of them could have imagined. When Melissa was found dead, the other three women were on edge but assumed they were safe. Twelve days later, they too were dead and police had detained an unlikely suspect—Juan David Ortiz, a ten-year veteran of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, where he carried a badge, a service revolver, and was entrusted to protect the community in which he eventually killed. From September 3 through September 15, 2018, Ortiz, a husband and doting father to three children, lured his victims into his white Dodge truck and drove them to the outskirts of town where he violently executed them, leaving them dead or dying on the sides of dark, rural roads. In this fast-paced, electrifying tick-tock, Pulitzer Prize–winning USA TODAY journalist Rick Jervis tells the gripping story of the four murders that shook the small border town of Laredo, and the quest to unmask a cold, calculated killer who was hiding in plain sight. The Devil Behind the Badge is also a deeply human portrait of the four lives lost and an attempt to uncover what motivated Ortiz’s descent into darkness. Along the way, it raises serious questions about the border crisis, the abuse of law enforcement, and the challenges of a federal agency to police its own ranks.

Book excerpt: This accessible guide shares how and why badges work and the secrets to designing great challenges that motivate students to build skills and take control of their learning. As an elementary technology teacher, author Brad Flickinger observed that his students had little motivation to use the devices surrounding them for anything other than gameplay and entertainment. His solution was to rethink his teaching, adding elements of gamification, challenge-based learning, design thinking and other approaches to learning. With this, the badge system was born. By incorporating badges, students are motivated by using the familiar challenges of gameplay as they earn visual indicators of progress and complete challenges. At the same time, they are mastering skills and progressing academically. Reward Learning with Badges shows how to implement a successful badging system in your classes. You’ll learn to think differently about motivation and achievement and prepare to embark on your own badging initiative. The book includes: • Step-by-step planning advice • Tips on implementation and technology • Support from examples and success stories With this book, you’ll learn everything you need to know to start badging, including how to introduce badging to students, faculty and parents; how to design physical and digital badges; how to relate badges to standards and curricular goals and more.

Book excerpt: The Renegades #4 | Romantic Suspense | Enemies to Lovers | Action | MM “I’m here, baby. Daddy’s here. Oh God, I’m so sorry.” The murder in Joel Hayward’s eyes wasn’t merely a reflection of the rage within. It was a promise to the men who had kidnapped his daughter. The one person—this amazing slip of a girl—who showed Joel every single day that there was good left in the world. He was running on fumes. He was desperate. His closest companion was…Elliott. His ex-wife’s older brother. Okay, once upon a time, the man had been a lot more than that, but somehow they’d become mortal enemies instead. Frankly, Joel didn’t give a flying f— He didn’t care if Elliott made it back alive. Or so he kept telling himself, as the pain intensified with each day he couldn’t hold his little girl in his arms. As they got closer and closer to their target, one lead at a time, the men prepared themselves to go to war.
