Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born to Draw Comics, a mixed-panel format picture book biography of Charles "Sparky" Schulz, creator of the beloved comic strip Peanuts. As a child, Charles split his free time between adventures outdoors with his friends and dog Spike, and daydreams and doodles inspired by the comics he loved to read. He longed to become a professional cartoonist, but saw his dreams deferred by unexpected challenges that laid ahead: military deployment to the European front of World War II, and the heartbreak of a family tragedy back home. Even so, Charles never lost sight of the hopeful joy of his early years and his love for Spike, both of which inspired PEANUTS. The comic strip went on to become the most popular and influential in comics history.

Book excerpt: He lay motionless, his breathing shallow, and his mind at rest. A thick hand thrusts into his fine leather coat pocket, seeking and retrieving his wallet. Two young, fresh, and inexperienced NYPD Detectives uncover a world defined by Power, Greed, and Freedom. The pawns in this sphere are innocent victims placed in an obsolete psychiatric hospital. Here, each individual is “Indoctrinated”, having their memoires, their stories, and their lives, obliterated as Dr. Michael Evans experiments on their minds. They are manipulated physically, mentally, and financially; yes, the financial advantages are vast for both Dr. Evans and his corrupt sidekick, Police Detective Fred Maxwell. With corruption at every level of the police, legal, and medical domains—will the confined patients of St. Anthony’s Hospital ever again see the light of day and be reunited with their loved ones? Who would advocate for them? What could spark their internal fortitude enough to fight for their own Freedom? Weaving seamlessly through this action-packed and intelligently humorous narrative is the mission of an allied group of terrorists with ulterior motives to shame and punish America. Beware of Darkness contains all the power and authority of Dr. Evans; the greed and ruthlessness of Fred Maxwell; the emotions of Walter Carson; the naivete and innocence of Jimmy Smolinski. Freedom, they say, is found, but is it?

Download or read book The Nobel Collection Volume 1 written by Robert Knight and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-01-30 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans are highly curious – we are eager to understand ourselves and the world around us, and we love the feeling of discovering something new. Some people choose to become scientists and devote their lives to exploring and understanding the laws of nature and life itself. A scientific understanding of the natural world is critical for developing new technologies and materials, and for curing devastating diseases. Every scientist makes discoveries that contribute to the constantly expanding body of human knowledge. Occasionally, scientists even discover entirely new phenomena that transform the way we understand the universe! Think of Albert Einstein’s famous theories, for example, or the pioneering work of Marie Skłodowska Curie, which led to the discovery of new elements and advanced the treatment of certain cancers. Indeed, her discovery of radioactivity paved the way for both the diagnosis via X-rays, and treatment of cancer via radiation therapy. Groundbreaking discoveries such as these usually result from a combination of knowledge, dedication, brilliance, and good luck. Each year, we celebrate these transformative discoveries by awarding Nobel Prizes in chemistry, physics, economics, and physiology or medicine. These prizes represent our highest-level recognition of the scientific accomplishments that have changed the world for the better. Now, in 2021 – exactly 120 years after the first Nobel Prize was awarded – we launch this special Nobel Collection in Frontiers for Young Minds. This Collection brings you articles by Nobel laureates, written specifically for young minds. In this first-of-its-kind collection, Nobel Prize winners explain their amazing discoveries and describe how they accomplished them. These Nobel laureates share their thoughts on research and what it means to be a scientist, and they even provide advice for becoming a successful researcher and living a happy, meaningful life. Like all Frontiers for Young Minds articles, these articles have been reviewed and approved by kids like you! Did you know that Nobel Prize winners and Young Minds readers have several important traits in common? The first is curiosity. The scientific journeys of Nobel laureates are often fueled by an intense, child-like curiosity – the same curiosity that motivates you to read these articles. Many Nobel laureates also manage to stay as open-minded as Young Minds readers – they keep their opinions flexible and can be persuaded to change their minds when new data challenges their existing beliefs. In the words of 2014 Nobel laureate May-Britt Moser, “I believe that it is important to maintain your curiosity about things, both now and as an adult, and find something that you have a passion for, that makes you enthusiastic and feel alive. For myself, I can say that I am very curious about things and that it is extremely important for me to understand things. It gives me so much pleasure when I understand something that I did not understand before - this is my leading star.” We hope that this unique new Collection will be your leading star – that it will help you to further develop your own curiosity and openness, and that it inspires you reach for new discoveries in your own life!
Download or read book GREBO written by Rich Deakin and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: West Midlands 1980s, home to heavy metal. Black Sabbath and Judas Priest are household names, but over the smoking chimneys and factory yards something new and equally ugly formsa 'Grebo' was a media constructed music genre that even today sends a shudder down the spines of discerning music fans and critics. A homegrown proto-grunge a counterpart to the likes of Butthole Surfers, Mudhoney, early Nirvana, Alice In Chains, and Soundgarden in the US a grebo was a British phenomenon that drew on an eclectic range of influences, from punk, 60s garage and psychedelia, through to 70s heavy rock and thrash metal. It foreshadowed rave culture and was steeped in class politics. GAYE BYKERS ON ACID and CRAZYHEAD hailed from Leicester. They were not the first bands to be labelled grebo but they were the most unashamedly unkempt and came to be considered its greatest exponents. They were aa burst of dirty thundera and almost no one liked them. Based on interviews with band members, friends, fans, and roadies, this book is an uncompromising history of an overlooked music scene. Rich Deakin charts its course via the changing fortunes of the Bykers and Crazyhead, taking us on the booze-filled tour buses, behind the dodgy deals and onto the international stage and back again (with a pitstop for a rock movie that swallows lots of money). Their careers were short, but the two bands managed to shake up the UK indie scene and along the way became Britain's unlikely ambassadors of rock following the collapse of Soviet Russia. Strap yourself in for a rocket ride of a book. This is GREBO! a the complete loud and lousy story!

Book excerpt: As the last Don of the Philadelphia mob, Ralph Natale, the first-ever mob boss to turn state’s evidence, provides an insider’s perspective on the mafia. Natale’s reign atop the Philadelphia and New Jersey underworlds brought the region’s mafia back to prominence in the 1990s. Smart, savvy, and articulate, Natale came up in the mob and saw first-hand as it hatched its plan to control Atlantic City’s casino unions. Later on, after spending 16 years in prison, he reclaimed the family as his own after a bloody mob war that left bodies scattered across South Philly. He forged connections around the country, invigorated the family with more allies than it had in two decades, and achieved a status within the mob never seen before or since until he was betrayed by his men and decided to testify against them in a stunning turn of events. Using dozens of hours of interviews with Natale along with research and interviews with FBI agents, this book delivers revelatory insights into seminal events in American mob history, including: - The truth about Jimmy Hoffa’s disappearance - The murder of Jewish mob icon Bugsy Siegel - The identity of the man who created modern-day Las Vegas With the full cooperation of Natale, New York Daily News reporter Larry McShane and producer Dan Pearson uncover the deadly reign of the last great mob boss of Philadelphia, a tale that covers a half-century of mob lore—and gore.
