Book excerpt: A man embarks on a desperate quest for redemption in a devastated Detroit, in this novel that “has the feel of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road . . . Powerful” (Publishers Weekly). Detroit has descended into ruin. Kelly scavenges for scrap metal from the hundred thousand abandoned buildings in a part of the city known as “the zone”—an increasingly wild landscape where one day he finds something far more valuable than the copper he’s come to steal: a kidnapped boy, crying out for rescue. Briefly, Kelly is celebrated as a hero. But even after he has brought the boy to safety, he is driven to secretly avenge this crime and solve the mystery behind the kidnapping—a task that will take him deeper into the zone, and into a confrontation with his own past and long-buried traumas. From the acclaimed author of In the House Upon the Dirt Between the Lake and the Woods, Scrapper is a devastating reimagining of one of America’s greatest cities, its beautiful architecture, its lost houses, shuttered factories, boxing gyms, and storefront churches. With precise, powerful prose, it asks: What do we owe for our crimes, even those we’ve committed to protect the people we love?

Download or read book The Scrapper s Way written by Damodar Padhi and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2024-01-20 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So, you were not born with a silver spoon? You did not study in a 'well-known' school? You could not afford to go to a great college? You were not privileged enough to secure your dream job? Like it or not, but we live in an unequal world; life here does not promise fair treatment to every individual. If you were born lucky and could afford it all, this book can at best intrigue you a bit, but it is not really meant for you. If not, this is exactly the book you need. Welcome to the Scrapper's club. The only two things you need to be here are a dream to succeed and an urge to face life as it appears before you without whining. This book does not promise you the moon (and neither will it deliver any). For more than three decades, Damodar Padhi has used this time-tested and all weather resistant (read resilient) approach with great success. If you are someone who equates success to only money and power, keep the book back on the shelf and browse on. But if you are looking for success that includes financial freedom, happiness, and purpose, we are ON. The Scrapper's Way will take you through life's many crossroads and teach you the art of making sensible personal choices both at work and in personal life, and above all purpose to enrich every aspect of it. One part in every story as a behind-the-scenes memoir, the other part as the fuel to make you think; this book will lay out your own path to success in an unequal world.
Download or read book Compendium on Light Speed Travel written by James Essig and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-05-26 with total page 9401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some theoreticians contemplate and formulate the physics of tachyons, which are hypothetical particles, that would always travel faster than light but which could never slow down to the speed of light just as they anticipate sublight speed massive particles never being able to achieve light speed. So my theoretical work on the physics and kinematics of light-speed massive systems sets me apart from general trends in the theoretical field of relativistic astronautics. This book is a continuation of how and why we may be able to, at some future time, travel at the speed of light.
Download or read book Metal Scrappers and Thieves written by Benjamin F. Stickle and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the little-known world of scrappers and metal thieves. Benjamin F. Stickle bases his study on field research collected while traversing communities with thieves and scrappers. Drawing on candid interviews, observations of criminals at work, and participation in the scrapping subculture, the volume describes the subculture of scrappers and identifies differences between scrappers and metal thieves. Through the offenders’ perspective, often quoting their candid responses, Stickle explores the motivations for metal theft as well as the techniques and methods for successfully committing theft. The book discusses how these methods and techniques are learned and identifies ways—often through the thieves’ own words—to prevent metal theft. Throughout the book, Stickle also challenges common assumptions about this community and identifies wider policy implications.

"A century ago, Dayton was the Silicon Valley of its age, and its decline is both astonishing and tells a broader story of what has happened to America. It's a fine work, both arresting and heartbreaking." - Jon Talton, Economics Columnist, The Seattle Times. "An illuminating look at the decline of the American manufacturing belt and how desperate citizens are cannibalizing their future just to feed their families." - Marty Steffens, Society of American Business Editors and Writers endowed chair, University of Missouri. "My friend and colleague Steve Bennish just published his first documentary project on homeless scrappers in Ohio. A fascinating set of images that highlight a previously untold vignette of the new economy and desperate times for some. Awesome!" - Larry C. Price, veteran newspaper photographer "Steve Bennish lays bare in stark photos and unfettered commentary the post-Apocalyptic existence of so many prideful working class Americans devastated by the Great Recession. 'Scrappers' is required reading for anyone who dares to take a look at the human collateral damage of three decades of trickle-down economics and U.S. tax incentives and trade agreements that ship jobs overseas." - Jim DeBrosse, longtime newspaper reporter and author of "The Secret in Building 26: The Untold Story of America's Ultra War Against the U-boat Enigma Codes."
Download or read book The Anthropology of Precious Minerals written by Elizabeth Ferry and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2019-11-04 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do people single out gold, sapphires, diamonds, and other minerals as particularly “precious”? What makes precious minerals “precious”? Drawing from ethnographic and cross-cultural research, this collection of anthropological essays and case studies answers these questions by exploring humans’ multifaceted relationships with the minerals they deem “precious.” The Anthropology of Precious Minerals addresses the entanglement of humans and minerals, with a particular focus on the practices of scrappers, miners, and hunters as they work to extract value. The editors draw from history, archaeology, and ethnography, and remind us that “preciousness” must always be understood in relation to complex cultural, political-economic, and semiotic systems of value.
