Download or read book Motorcycle Touring Bible written by Fred Rau and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2011-01-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Touring on a motorcycle has never been more popular than it is today, but with more and more people hitting the open road, a growing number are doing so without the proper skills and information they need to survive the ordeal. Far too often the trip of a lifetime turns into an unmitigated disaster, leading to expensive breakdowns, arrests, lost wages, broken limbs, death, and even, on more than one occasion, divorce. Most people who travel aboard motorcycles have learned these lessons the hard way, if they’ve survived long enough, but now readers of the Motorcycle Touring Bible can learn an easier way; they can learn from author Fred Rau’s mistakes rather than through the school of hard knocks.

Book excerpt: The definitive collection of first-hand accounts of the world's outlaw motorcycle gangs, with contributions by Sonny Barger, Hunter S. Thompson, Ed Winterhalder, William Queen and many more Outlaw bikers consider themselves 'the last free people in society', unconstrained by the regulations that hem in ordinary citizens. And they guard their privacy jealously. Drawing on seventeen years of studying and participating in biker culture, the author has compiled this one-of-a-kind collection of original biker writing. Here are insider accounts of landmark incidents in biker folklore, including reprints of classic writing from biker-originated magazines, handouts, websites and books. Gangs featured include the Bandidos, the Hells Angels, Henchmen MC, the Outlaws, the Mongols, the Annihilators, the Diablos, the Gypsy Jokers, the Rebels, the Straight Satans and the Vagos. And with contributors such as Freewheelin' Frank (one-time secretary of the Hells Angels), Edward Winterhalder (among the most powerful members of the Bandidos) and Sonny Barger (founder of the Hells Angels). Also included are those rare accounts by outsiders who have succeeded in 'looking in' on the gangs: Hunter S. Thompson's Hells Angels: A Strange and Terrible Modern Saga; writing by William Queen, the undercover agent who infiltrated America's violent outlaw motorcycle gang the Mongols; and Daniel R. Wolf's account of riding with the Rebels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seldom has anyone looked for the lesson in the dreams of the Bible. What do Joseph, Abraham, Jacob, and Solomon have to do with us? The Bible dreams tell us how to handle different kinds of dreams, the meaning of certain symbols when they occur to us, the kinds of dreams we can expect to have: healing, nightmares, predictions, babies before birth, people who have died, dreams for others; they are all there in the Bible and the authors expected us to learn from them. Bible Dreams Teach Us will point these out and help us understand them. As said in Job 4: 20,21, Between dawn and dusk, we are broken into pieces, and unnoticed we perish forever. Are not the cords of our tent pulled up so that we die without wisdom? Begin today.

Download or read book Hunter S Thompson written by Kevin T. McEneaney and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-06-09 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A decade after Hunter S. Thompson’s death, his books—including Hell’s Angels, The Curse of Lono, The Great Shark Hunt, and Rum Diary—continue to sell thousands of copies each year, and previously unpublished manuscripts of his still surface for publication. While Thompson never claimed to be a great writer, he did invent a new literary style—“gonzo”—that has been widely influential on both literature and journalism. Though Thompson and his work engendered a significant—even rabid—following, relatively little analysis has been published about his writing. In Hunter S. Thompson: Fear, Loathing, and the Birth of Gonzo, Kevin T. McEneaney examines the intellectual background of this American original, providing biographical details and placing Thompson within a larger social and historical context. A significant portion of this book is devoted to the creation, reception, and legacy of his most important works, particularly Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. In addition to discussing influences on Thompson's work—including Homer, Nietzsche, Spengler, Melville, Twain, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Kerouac, and others—as well as the writers Thompson influenced, McEneaney also explains the literary origins of gonzo. With new biographical information about Thompson and an examination of his writing techniques, this book provides readers with a better understanding of the journalist and novelist. A look beyond the larger-than-life public persona, Hunter S. Thompson: Fear, Loathing, and the Birth of Gonzo will be of great interest to fans of Thompson’s work as well as to those wanting to know more about gonzo journalism and literature.

Download or read book As The Lily Among The Thorns written by Jeanelle Johnston Troutman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-02-19 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary As the Lily Among the Thorns, simply put, is about an eleven year old girl, Leigh Anne Bohannon, who, although born in the deep south in the state of Mississippi with its age-old code of southern honor and etiquette, thinks with a mind of her own. She is a nonconformist, in her own words, a “rebel”. To put it bluntly this southern girl was “born with balls”. She has a “rare and treasured mind”; she has her own opinions, having little regard as to the whims of society as she sees it, or of “proper southern etiquette”. She becomes best friends with a little black girl, Jenny Pearl Reynolds, who is exactly the same age as she. The first part of the book (of a little over three hundred pages) sets the scenario in Mississippi in nineteen hundred and sixty three, gives a description of Leigh Anne’s world, the world of the deep south, as well as an introduction to her gentle and hard working family, “Daddy Bo” her father, a wise and gentle man who uses humor as he teaches his family the hard lessons of life, Lillian, her Atlanta, Georgia born, college educated mother, “Grandmother”, who is constantly relating bloody handed down accounts of the Civil War, Monica, Leigh Anne’s beautiful sixteen year old sister who is a dainty, lady-like carbon copy of Lillian, but without the kindness or gentleness, Ben Ray, the younger Bohannon son, Leigh Anne’s uncle, a tobacco chewing “good ole boy” who takes over the book with his “ruggedly cute” personality. Leigh Anne meets Jenny Pearl at an old country store, Martins, and they, as soon as they realize they have the exact same birthday, become “friends forever”. The reader, as well as Leigh Anne, gets to know the Reynolds family, Gentle Reynolds, Jenny’s father, who received his name from his disposition, Lottie Mae, the mother, who gave birth to her only child in her middle years, her “change of life” baby, Jenny Pearl, whom the parents “dote” on. Jenny Pearl’s parents regale Leigh Anne and the reader with “colored stories” and of Negro life in the Deep South, past and present. As the Lily Among the Thorns is real and believable and opens the readers mind and heart as he too lives life through a southern white family and also through a southern black family. The reader is thinking and even speaking in the southern “redneck” vernacular, black and white. As the book unravels, it soon reveals that the Deep South is on the brink of desegregation. The formally slow moving, slow talking world is suddenly “stirred up like a hornet’s nest”, as its beloved world is intruded upon by a fast moving, fast changing world that is in direct opposition to “the old south”. Students in Leigh Anne’s school learn this “unheard of Yankee notion” and the book records the clashing of these two worlds as the students try to “inhale” the idea that desegregation is snowballing their way and the reader sees the reverberating chaos of these two worlds. The Ku Klux Klan plays a pivotal part in this new world, as does Leigh Anne and Jenny Pearl and they are eventually entangled in the murderous mess of both worlds! Leigh Anne, and eventually Jenny Pearl, lives to go “ramblin’“ or adventurin’“. The girls antagonize or “spook” the Ku Klux Klan into burning crosses in both their yards. But, whoa! First Leigh Anne and eventually her black buddy, Jenny, contend with an enemy, an ever present enemy in the form of a flabby, yellow-eyed sixteen year old low-life, John Marshall Davis. He torments Leigh Anne and Jenny Pearl at any and every opportunity. The shy black girl as well as the confrontational white girl are afraid of him, and who wouldn’t be afraid of ignorance and cruelty in the crassest form? But Leigh Anne eventually stands up to her tormentor and this verbal battle becomes physical and culminates into an actual life threatening beating, thus bringing to pass the first climax of the book. As the girls travel the highway of life, their “adventurin’“ leads to “sneakin’ up” on an actual clandesti

Download or read book Radical Challenges to the Family written by Ashley Lavelle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defending the nuclear family and extolling ’family values’ have long been central features of politics in capitalist societies, in spite of radical left challenges from social, counter-cultural and gay rights movements. This book examines these challenges as they emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, re-appraising their relevance in the light of recent developments, including the spread of more diverse family forms and the rise of the same-sex marriage movement. Drawing on archival research in the US, UK and Australia, the author asks what the emergence of same-sex marriage movements and legislation mean for challenges to the nuclear family in the light of an original general hostility to marriage and family structures in the gay liberation movement, whilst considering the extent to which the nuclear family might be included in the list of social and economic institutions subject to criticism on the part of more recent anti-capitalist movements, such as Occupy. A detailed study of the extent to which the nuclear family remains susceptible to the radical critiques of the last century, Radical Challenges to the Family examines whether the original challenges shed light on ensuring social problems, including domestic violence, child abuse, homophobia, and growing marital dissatisfaction. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology and politics with interests in gender and sexuality, the sociology of the family and feminist thought.
