Born and raised in the renowned Capitol Hill neighborhood, my story will usher you into an untold reality of family hardship. Profound emotions of love, religion, loyalty, betrayal, racism, crime, drugs, violence, politics, corruption, sex, and the horrors of prison life will surely take you somewhere you haven't been. No book has ever been written about Washington, DC, not quite like the one you are about to read. It will leave you with an in-depth, historical perspective of the city's renowned residential area, along with its Criminal Justice System. How its eight prisons were mismanaged and eventually ended up in the lap of the Federal Government. Part one highlights most of my childhood, chronologically, during the civil rights era. Part two illustrates an accurate account of many of my adulthood experiences. Its characters are real, and the unlawful acts they committed are a matter of public information. The facts, herein, were not written to offend, slander, accuse or glorify anyone. However, certain names have been changed to ensure confidentiality. I cannot define its genre with one word, but I will venture to say it's packed with action, drama and romance. Whether you agree or disagree with its contents, it has something for every reader to digest. If nothing else, its sheer entertainment will touch you profoundly, and it's read you may never forget.

Download or read book The Game Theorist s Guide to Parenting written by Paul Raeburn and published by Scientific American / Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I absolutely loved this book, both as a parent and as a nerd.” —Jessica Lahey, author of The Gift of Failure As every parent knows, kids are surprisingly clever negotiators. But how can we avoid those all-too-familiar wails of “That’s not fair!” and “You can’t make me!”? In The Game Theorist’s Guide to Parenting, the award-winning journalist and father of five Paul Raeburn and the game theorist Kevin Zollman pair up to highlight tactics from the worlds of economics and business that can help parents break the endless cycle of quarrels and ineffective solutions. Raeburn and Zollman show that some of the same strategies successfully applied to big business deals and politics—such as the Prisoner’s Dilemma and the Ultimatum Game—can be used to solve such titanic, age-old parenting problems as dividing up toys, keeping the peace on long car rides, and sticking to homework routines. Raeburn and Zollman open each chapter with a common parenting dilemma. Then they show how carefully concocted schemes involving bargains and fair incentives can save the day. Through smart case studies of game theory in action, Raeburn and Zollman reveal how parents and children devise strategies, where those strategies go wrong, and what we can do to help raise happy and savvy kids while keeping the rest of the family happy too. Delightfully witty, refreshingly irreverent, and just a bit Machiavellian, The Game Theorist’s Guide to Parenting looks past the fads to offer advice you can put into action today.
