Book excerpt: This story reaches across time to follow the lives of two women, their families and their generations that followed. People from entirely different walks of life whose lives are inexorably joined together by love, hate and the hand of fate. One, Mary Ann Oxley. Born in poverty in the town of Wigan, where the industrial revolution, while bringing wealth to some brought misery and abject poverty to others. Beginning in Northern England in the late 1800's, the town of Wigan should have been a typical picturesque English town, but due to its industries of cotton mills and coalmines it was permanently shrouded in a cloud of poisonous black smog and her rivers were running with the ooze of industry. And Eliza Jane Skelton, who was born into a privileged family and was sheltered from the harsh realities of life, cut off from the deprivations of the real world. Living a spoiled and pampered existence she took for granted her place in society that would leave her little with which to combat the hardships that would come from the tragic results of wrong decisions.
Download or read book The Poison Glen written by Ashley Simmons and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fear, persecution and death; such is the way of life for the people of Caspria. Conquered 20 years ago by a race of warriors known as the Zadok, they have been robbed of their freedom, dignity and culture, including even the simple joy of worshiping their god Uriel. For Amariah, a willful young woman born during the invasion, the existence of a slave is the only life she has ever known. Raised in secrecy, she has managed to escape many of the atrocities others have endured, until a foolish act endangers not only her own life, but the very future of her people. Until that moment, Amariah was unaware of her heritage; that she is the last living heir to the throne of Caspria, chosen by Uriel to unite the rebel resistance, lead them to victory, and return the faithful to the church. She has but to accept her destiny, reclaim a royal talisman, and use its powers to destroy the Zadok. With the rebels scattered and bickering amongst themselves, a determined enemy in pursuit, and the magical gift required to control the talisman locked deep inside of her, Amariah cannot hope to prevail without divine assistance. Yet Uriel chooses to send help in the form of the most despised betrayer of all humankind. He is known only as The Hunter, the last of the immortal aelven, God's chosen seraphs. Having fallen from grace centuries ago, and banished for his crimes against the people of Caspria, he has only agreed to help in exchange for his own mysterious reasons. For Amariah to succeed, she will need to look past her own prejudices and beliefs in order to find the truth. For without it, she will never find the compassion to befriend one who is friendless, the courage to lead those who do not want to follow, nor the determination to control a magic capable of making her a tyrant far worse than the one she is trying to defeat.
Download or read book The Poisoner s Handbook written by Deborah Blum and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-01-25 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equal parts true crime, twentieth-century history, and science thriller, The Poisoner's Handbook is "a vicious, page-turning story that reads more like Raymond Chandler than Madame Curie." —The New York Observer “The Poisoner’s Handbook breathes deadly life into the Roaring Twenties.” —Financial Times “Reads like science fiction, complete with suspense, mystery and foolhardy guys in lab coats tipping test tubes of mysterious chemicals into their own mouths.” —NPR: What We're Reading A fascinating Jazz Age tale of chemistry and detection, poison and murder, The Poisoner's Handbook is a page-turning account of a forgotten era. In early twentieth-century New York, poisons offered an easy path to the perfect crime. Science had no place in the Tammany Hall-controlled coroner's office, and corruption ran rampant. However, with the appointment of chief medical examiner Charles Norris in 1918, the poison game changed forever. Together with toxicologist Alexander Gettler, the duo set the justice system on fire with their trailblazing scientific detective work, triumphing over seemingly unbeatable odds to become the pioneers of forensic chemistry and the gatekeepers of justice. In 2014, PBS's AMERICAN EXPERIENCE released a film based on The Poisoner's Handbook.

Download or read book The Jack Bank written by Glen Retief and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2011-04-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary, literary memoir from a gay white South African, coming of age at the end of apartheid in the late 1970s. Glen Retief's childhood was at once recognizably ordinary--and brutally unusual. Raised in the middle of a game preserve where his father worked, Retief's warm nuclear family was a preserve of its own, against chaotic forces just outside its borders: a childhood friend whose uncle led a death squad, while his cultured grandfather quoted Shakespeare at barbecues and abused Glen's sister in an antique-filled, tobacco-scented living room. But it was when Retief was sent to boarding school that he was truly exposed to human cruelty and frailty. When the prefects were caught torturing younger boys, they invented "the jack bank," where underclassmen could save beatings, earn interest on their deposits, and draw on them later to atone for their supposed infractions. Retief writes movingly of the complicated emotions and politics in this punitive all-male world, and of how he navigated them, even as he began to realize that his sexuality was different than his peers'.
